I am wanting to get a tummy tuck.
Ive had liposcution and breast implants and the lipo didnt help at all.
Infact it made things worse

I have saggy skin that goes below my panty line its just terrible.

Please anyone had a tummy tuck and it came out with great results please give me some doctor refferals.

So Far I Have visited with Dr.Krueger
8220 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 206
Dallas, TX 75231
drkrueger.com
I visited with him today. I liked him and his staff but however I have had previous plastic surgery with a doctor named Dr.Narsette in plano. He made fun of the doctors website and even though I am not happy with my previous results I still don’t think it is appropriate to make fun of others.

Dr kruegers approach to fixing my my current tummy problem is way different than anyone elses opinion so far. Basically he wants to make more scars on me than are necessary. I really like him but maybe he’s just not the right fit. I will have to give it some more thought.

Dr. Kruegers Tummy tuck fee is $ 7,775
That inclues all the fees and an overnight stay.

I also visited Dr. Fredrick C Lester.
He is amazing and has a really silly personalatity. I felt compeltly comfortable when I was talking to him. He didn’t try to sell me the procedure infact he was a little hesitant since I am only 20 years old. He wants me to waite until the fall to get my tummy tuck. His staff are wonderful and very nice office. He tells you if you don’t need something done. He doesn’t lie just to sell you the procedure.

I really liked him.
Dr. Fredrick C Lester. Tummy tuck fee is $7950.

He does cost a little more but I saw pictures of his patients scars and they are beautiful for a scar if that makes any sence. In my opinion he is better than doctor kruegers.

I had a tummy tuck done several years ago by Dr. Scott Kasden in Southlake. I had several infections and my navel wasn't centered - still isn't. I would not recommend this plastic surgeon.

sounds like you are in luck, it almost sounds if you will need a mini tuck if it is more loose skin than anything. I have been researching for the past 5 years after research. I have learned that doctors who specialize in reconstructive surgery actually have far superior results for elective patients. I have to tell you to go with Dr. Pin as well out of Baylor, he did my aunts TT and BA post B Cancer, great job! He was able to remove her vertical C-section scar. I was able to get my BA in Edmond, OK for literally half the expense of Dallas, all because of Dallas coming in fairly close to Beverly Hills and you pay the tag for that. I went to Gary Hill, and his bed side manners are very professional but very friendly like you've known him for years! His price for a TT for me is a full TT with pulling my separated
muscles together and massive removalof leftover skin from 2 pregnancies and massive weight loss @ $5200 for all expenses! I have had to tell my OB/GYN about my BA and he said he had no clue until he had to examine them, I take that as a compliment of them looking that natural! If you want to get this done you need to make sure that you are done having kids or all of that could be lost with the pregnancy. Try Dr. Draper in Dallas, female. Dr. Schwartz, Robert- Dallas and another great doc, he is I Dallas and can be seen at rsplastic.com , he has a radio show on Sat. On Live 105.3 I think around 3-4 Osh, hope that helped!

Absolutely, hands down, Dr. ____@____.com phone # is: ###-###-####. He does FREE consultations. You will love him. He will show you photos & he has been in Texas Monthly & D Magazine for his work.

Be prepared for him to ask you if you are going to have any more children......you seem young????

Also, my tummy tuck was to be in the tune of $9,000. Hopefully yours will be cheaper.

Good luck! He is great. J.

If you are 20 yrs old, you should have considered something called EXERCISE! I am a former patient of Dr. Krueger, due to breast cancer. I met with several plastic surgeons to do my reconstructions and he was the most professional, compassionate one that I met. I chose him to do my reconstruction, and I look even better than I did before chemotherapy and radiation, and have very little scarring. I have never responded to one of these post before, but after reading your ridiculous remarks about such a wonderful doctor and human being I had to do so.

Mine is great. The only thing I can complain about is the scarring around my navel is purplish, but I'm sure that's how my body reacts and nothing to do with the Dr. At first it was raised like a keloid type scar which I've never had before, but my dermatologist simply injected something into the scar and it flattened out within a day. I used Dr. Genecov at Medical City. Things went incredibly smooth. Of course, you will have pain and need help for a couple days, but he made sure to keep me stocked with my prescriptions and instructions and all turned out just fine with me. I had the 'full' abdominoplasty done after having my tubes tied after number 5. Prior to her, I thought I was finished having kids, but didn't have a tubal. I had a mini-tuck(below the navel), combined with lipo. of my lower back after number 4. That was much easier and the results were fabulous until I got prego. and stretched it all out. I know they say that after lipo. you won't regain fat in that area, but I'll tell you that seems to be the only place I gain now(that and my butt) my stomach has stayed nice and flat and firm after 2 years still. Now, I want lipo. on my lower back again! It is so hard to lose it in that area and I work out several times a week. Good luck!

Dear M., I just had a Tummy Tuck consultation with Jeffery K. Krueger, M.D., P.A. He was great! He is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (VERY important) and he and his nurse spend a lot of time answering all your questions. He provides free consultations. You can reach his office at ###-###-####. Ask for his nurse Carrie. She is wonderful.

M.,
I've had the most amazing results with Dr. Ramsey Choucair.
http://www.surgery.org/public/epp/rjchoucair
He's wonderful, my scar is honestly covered even if I want to wear a thong. (sorry to be blunt but I think that is the best way to explain how perfect the scar is)
I would tell my sister or mom to see him if they needed anything.
Good luck!
M.

What about the same one who did your implants??? I have implants too and I think if I had surgery of any kind again, I would want the same one. Did you like him/her? If not, I am not much help unless you are willing to drive to Amarillo for the surgery. That is where mine is--Dr. Kelleher. Good Luck and I think it is great you are wanting to do things to make yourself feel better!! :)C.
