I have 2 boys. A 19 year old and a 12 year old and do years I have been contemplating tummy tuck because my belly button was destroyed after my first pregnancy. The stretch marks above it were so disgusting for me to look at. I am pretty thin but that pouch under the belly button was also something that I couldn't stand. I made to finally go to a consult in July with Dr Hochstein and after meeting with him I decided I did not need to see any other doctor and booked my tummy tuck on the spot for November 6, 2014 (today). The staff was amazing and he knew exactly what I wanted and needed as soon as I showed him my belly. I was referred to him by a couple of friends who used him for their breast and everyone just bragged about what a true artist he was when it came to making your body close to perfect. So I went in this morning. I had to be there at 7:45 to prep and the surgery started promptly at 8:30am. This staff is just so professional whe it comes to punctuality and helping you through such a nerve wracking day. At 10am I was woken up by the nurse in recovery and went home at 11am. I have to say that I am only 6 hours post op and I honestly do not have any pain. There is definitely discomfort but I have been up and walking every 2 hours as they suggested and I feel fine. I don't feel drugged up or foggy. Anyone going in for a TT MUST get the pain pump! This is what I believe has me feeling pain free. The nurse gave me a percosit while I was in recovery and luckily that did not knock me down like I thought it would. If I had to do this again, I would do it without any hesitation.

I live in Miami so no I did not have to travel. He is truly amazing by the work I've seen he's done. I will definitely be posting the before pics soon and will take some on Saturday when I can remove the binder. What state are you in?

You are very fortunate to live in Miami. I am in Utah and the regional look of a tummy tuck here is not good. I will definitely be traveling for my surgery so I am trying to learn everything I can about the recovery process. He is the only surgeon that I have seen have consistently good results. I can't wait to see your photos please keep us posted on your recovery as well.
