    Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas. My experience with her was excellent, but my surgery was 3.5 years ago. I know she is working out of a new clinic and the recovery house has been moved to a new house (bel

This was helpful - thanks for posting

I should be nice and have my husband take some pics of my TT scar for everyone. Mine is WAY lower than yours. Do you have any issues with covering yours with like a swim suit bottom or underwear?

PS: You look fantastic!

Thank you... the 6 month and year was taken by my PS. the other was taken this am.... I had people asking how visible my scar was. its actually pretty low... about two inches from the top of my "private". i lighten the picture up so it can be seen. not normally that white... hehe. but the tanning bed is calling my name.... lol I wear string bikinis with no problem and thong underwear... Even the skimpiest is still good. You should have him take some... im sure others would love too see a good outcome.

My scar is right across the top of my "private" area to the point where my pubic hair is "cut off" by the scar, if that makes sense? It's hard to tell how far around yours goes, because of those black boxes. Mine goes ALL THE WAY around me except for about a 3 inch gap above my butt crack.

Will definitely have the hubby take some pics next time we're doing progress pics for my weight loss.

How much weight did you lose with your tummy tuck? I have a similar issue and an trying to gauge how much more weight I would lose. Thanks so much for sharing! Very inspirational!!!

I didn't lose any weight with my tummy tuck. I'm sure I lost some fat and the weight of the skin, but that was more than made up for by the swelling. I had my tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and all-over lipo in Mexico. I stayed there for 2 weeks, and weighed exactly the same when I got home as when I'd left.

Who was your surgeon in Mexico?

Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas. My experience with her was excellent, but my surgery was 3.5 years ago. I know she is working out of a new clinic and the recovery house has been moved to a new house (believe it's still operated by the same people). If you are considering plastics, you should definitely research her and see if you can find recent reviews about the new facilities.
