Patient Reviews

"34 Years Old, Male, Dr Hedden. Had Tummy Tuck, Gyno Removal,and Some Lipo - Birmingham, AL - Well, I used to be in very good shape, then gained quite a bit of weight, lost it rapidly, and since then, no matter what I did or how good of shape I was in, I was stuck with loose skin, and also a minor case of gynecomastia. I still need to lose some weight, but had to get this over withI booked a date a few weeks ago for the 15th, after reading many reviews of dr hedden. Everything went very smooth, and the price compared to ny was also substantial.The facility is quite impressive, and everything is run very smoothly. The first 2 days after surgery were pretty rough, but other than that, I feel okay. The chest looks just like I wantedI do notice one issue thiugh even with my compression garments on. I had a decent amount of stretchmarks, and I knew that any mark over the bb would not bevremoved, but that it would be placed much lower after the surgery.I have 2 marks now that somehow are exactly the same as before, not any lower.. I don't know if this is normal, but definitely not thrilled about this. i mean, i felt it, and just looked at it, and the mark has not gone down at all... I don't know what can be done, or if it's a part of swelling,etc, but I don't think it is. I have to admit it it's bothering me quite a bit, expected it to be lower than bb, and still the same as before. I'll see dr hedden tomorrow, so will get an answer thenOther than that, I feel well, and result should be very good, dr hedden said it looked very very good. Again, the mark is bothering me though.Updated on 20 Feb 2014:There seems to be a bulge on my upper abdomen, and not one stretch mark was removed.... im starting to think i need to see a dr in ny just for a consultaion... i was supposed to have the muscle repaired, but dr told me he did not do it, said i didnt need it.... it could just be some fat or swelling in ipper abdomen, but when i suck in my stomach, theres like a crease in the middle which leads me to believe that perhaps a mini was performed??? idk, will hopefully find out soonUpdated on 20 Feb 2014:the bottom , right above the scar , not flat... like a ledge. again, i doint know if its just fat i need to lose, but ive seen some photos of pretty heavy people after a tummy tuck, and its flat to the scar... mine hangs over... its not droopy but definitely not flatUpdated on 20 Feb 2014:Updated on 8 Mar 2014:AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!! theres a dent in my stomach, on my lower stomach, one part sticks out more than the other????? not happy at all, just looks flabby all around. doesnt look anything like what i see from others posting pics.... going to have to go see a ps in nyc this week to get his opinion....Updated on 19 Mar 2014:I'll post photos soon.... but its been an awful experience so far, thought maybe I'm too hard on m self... i have a noticeable pouch and bulge in my lower stomach???? My stomach is nowhere near flat, in fact it looks odd... I'll post photos soon to update. The situation has gotten worse,not better"
