**Full review on real self dot com, search his name. I had a tummy tuck (tt) with hip and flank liposuction, with Dr Paydar on November 24, 2021.
I had my pre-op appointment two days before surgery and immediately loved Dr Paydar. He has a great "bedside" manner and made me feel very confident about this major surgery I was about to go through. Over the six month wait I'd had varying levels of anxiety but whenever I felt that I looked at his insta pics and knew if he could make other women look that good, I would be just fine. I opted to pay a little more money for the Exparel pain medication, which is put in the body during surgery and supposed to last up to 72 hours. I'm glad I did. That first day was pretty easy for me, and of course I slept most of it, but when I was awake I wasn't in much pain - I'm sure that was due to the Exparel. They send you home wrapped up in an abdomen compression garment. I couldn't help myself, the first time I got out of bed I unwrapped myself very slowly, to see what I looked like underneath. The incision was taped as well as the belly button, but I saw immediately my waist was nicely snatched in from the lipo, and there was no longer a sag on the top of my thighs. I was thrilled! My bf was scolding me so I wrapped back up quickly but took a peek every now and then.
One of the greatest factors in choosing Dr Paydar was knowing the care he takes in incision placement and rebuilding the belly button. Go online and do some research. There are horrible, horrible results out there, from tt surgery. Jagged incisions, scarred belly buttons, unproportionate belly buttons, pockets of fat because lipo wasn't done right, or the incision was sloppy. I could see from day 1 how clean my incision was and it was a true testament to Dr Paydar's great skill as a surgeon. There aren't any scars visible on the outside of my belly button and there shouldn't be - only Dr's that don't have the skill to do the job right, leave scars on the outside of the belly button. I put a bikini on as soon as my drains were out and WOW! the results at only two weeks post op were amazing. I was still swollen in those pics but looked 100% better than pre-op. Now at two months the swelling is still there but much better. I knew it would be and can't wait to see my new shape once all the swelling is gone. Because of my weight my abs were separated (diastasis) so Dr Paydar sewed them in, which helped snatch my waist in, along with the lipo.
A tummy tuck is no joke, which is why it's crucial you pick the best Dr, not the cheapest. Go to Mexico for dental work or even a bariatric surgery, don't go for something that requires the skill a tummy tuck requires. In closing I want to mention I was able to communicate directly with Dr Paydar post-surgery and he was always super responsive and reassuring. You can pay a lot of different Dr's to operate on you, but you can't get better than Dr Paydar when it comes to genuine patient care. You'll see what I mean when you talk to him! read more
