There are a lot of cosmetic procedures, such as Titan and Thermage, which are expensive and leave a lot of customers angry that they got the treatment. Is this the case with tummy tucks? No. On realself.com, which lets users post reviews on the plastic surgery they’ve gotten, tummy tucks are recommended by a solid majority. 84% said that the procedure was worth it. The 16% of people who wish they had not gotten the surgery felt that the results were minimal considering the cost or felt that the side effects (dead skin, seromas, etc) were too much. Those who recommended the surgery said that, despite the high cost, they got, in return, confidence and self-esteem after the amazing results. After glancing at these reviews on realself.com (simply search for tummy tuck once you’re at the home page) you’ll notice that there isn’t much of a correlation between cost and whether or not the patient was happy with the procedure. This means that you have to use your own intuition in deciding how good a particular plastic surgeon will make your tummy tuck.
