I don't get to write this review, this is left to my husband, because 5 days after I had my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with Dr. Laughlin I died suddenly and tragically of a pulmonary embolism. I was 55, in excellent health, a regular jazzerciser, with ideal BMI who was described, by the good doctor, as the "perfect" candidate for this procedure. In fact, the day after my surgery everything was still "perfect". For those few days I was delighted with the result, but then, within minutes, my worst nightmare became my reality and that of my family. Words like "horrible", "devastating", or "dreadful" do not do justice to the pain my family has experienced. It has been 3 months now, and although the doctor was kind enough to send flowers within an hour of learning of my passing, I am now being asked by him to fill out a 3-month "patient satisfaction questionnaire". As if my family needed this appalling reminder of this horror; obviously my death is already off the radar screen of their practice. My advice to anyone considering having an abdominoplasty is: DO NOT DO IT! It is not worth the risk. Because my review will not be posted with the satisfied customers on their website I am submitting it here. read more
