Dr Barrett this doctor is giving women so much good surgical information, God bless this Doctors hands throughout his career. 🙏🏾

I had 7 children my youngest is now 17 I get my mommy makeover in two weeks!!! Tummy tuck here I come I’m so excited for this!! Plus I’m getting some thigh lipo and a breast lift and augmentation.

"Two thing you do not want to bargain shop for.. parachutes and plastic surgery"🤣🤣🤣 true true🤔🤷‍♀️

He’s telling the truth about pulling the drains out without you even knowing. I didn’t even realize it bc my doctor was talking to me and I didn’t see him or feel it. I was so thankful!

This doctor is god sent. Thank you so much for this information.

Best tummy tuck video I’ve ever seen. So thorough. Thank you. Wish I lived where you practice!

I am so excited your videos popped into my feed yesterday. I’ve looked at before and after photos of many Mommy-Make overs and the high up long scars scared me plus the slit for a fake belly. button. I’m 47 and have had 5 children. I’m done having babies and want my body back! Thank you for this vital info that has given me so much peace and I will be seeing you in the near future!

Dr. Barrett I’m so happy with my tummy tuck❣️Dr Barrett is the best and very honest. I love my results beautiful if I had do it again I’ll do it. What I love about Dr Barrett he does miracles amazing doctor great staff❣️💯🙌

Just had my tummy tuck done and getting all my advice from him..wish I had found him before

Thank you for taking the time to make this very informational video.

I think when a drain is not used patients are more prone to getting seromas but I have noticed a lot of these new doctors are not using drains. Also I think flanks should be added with a tummy tuck because patients are still having love handles after the tt.

I don'tknow you personally but thank for helping so many people feel and look their best . God bless you , You are a living Angel.

i had a tummy tuck yesterday and i am dreading getting my drains out this video made me feel at bit better about it now thanks

I really like to watch your videos it is a lot of good information. Just by watching your videos I don't have to meet you in person to know that you are one of a good one. One of a kind :).

It's a shame you're not in the UK doc, this was a super helpful video!

This makes me reconsider getting a tummy tuck. I went for a consult and he said I’d need a hip to hip incision and invest in a walker cause if I am straight up right or sneeze I’d pop the stitches internally. Same with another video I watched of yours about breast lifts I asked him what options are available and he said I needed a inverted anchor. My breast aren’t that low but he said that’s the only option he’d provide and I don’t like the results with those plus he wanted to do 550 cc in silicone and I was looking just to make my breast fuller, like when I was breast feeding. I like that you seem more accommodating and informative than most plastic surgeons. You seem to really care not only about results but pleasing your patients.

Hi doc, is blood clots usually happens during surgery or after? And how do you prevent it during surgery? And what causes heart attack during tt surgery? Thanks doc

GREAT INFO. TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.

Oh how I wish you were here in Scotland!!!! I’ve lost 63lbs and want to loose at least another 20 lbs…but as you said in one of your other videos, it’s not comfortable to exercise now, I’ll carry on and do my best to get more off. Trying to find a reliable plastic surgeon is difficult. Even although I’ve worked for the NHS for 40 years….I started when I was 17 😂🤣🤪….it’s not really something that comes up in conversation……thanks for all of your information, I’ve found it to be very helpful. Take care….Covid-19 is still out there……Jane…..

Yes about that fleur de lis scar!! I’ve been watching that new Netflix show “skin decision” and the plastic surgeon was giving out fleur de lis tummy tucks left and right!!! To people who didn’t even look like they needed it!

I wish I could afford to come to California. I would have you do my surgery

Great information, thank you.

I lost 30 lbs after tt no extra skin

So much great information in this video! Thx

Thank you for sharing your Information Doctor Barette God bless you more Watching from Germany

I'm 5'8 5'9 208 lbs for along time now.I had a baby 2019 and had weight loss surgery in 2016 so I didn't even really gain weight when I was pregnant

excellent video - but I dont see the video you refer to about bellybutton repair and good/vs/bad bellybutton work

Omg Dr Barrett went to the Getty to study belly buttons! Slayyyyyy king 👑 ❤

Why are there complications with past surgeries, such as gallbladder/ tubal ligation, when it comes to tummy tucks? What should I expect?

Hi Dr Barrett thank you for this video. I had a tummy tuck about 2.5 years ago and the Dr didn’t tighten my muscles properly so I was considering a second tummy tuck. Is it safe to have a second tummy tuck? What about the cut will it be across or straight vertical line down the abdomen?

Do you recommend having a tummy tuck revision due to a wound breakdown scar tissue hardening around the tummy tuck scar , have a bbl and a breast surgery all together

Great information

Another issue the a TT will help with is to repair ab muscles to work better. Duh right. No guys, for years I wondered why my back, specifically my lower back was hurting so much. I blamed giving birth and day in with kids all day. No! when ever I did work around the house and kids I couldn’t use my ab muscles bc they had been severely separated. So I ended up using the only muscle I had left...my back muscle, specifically lower back. They say strengthen your core, well mine was messed up. I tried to use my legs to do work daily but my legs needed my core’s help. So I ended up using my back muscles instead. 😭

I'm scheduled in 3 weeks sooo scared bc i had a DVT 3 years ago and i'm on blood thinner, I have a factor v leiden and may-thurner syndrome. My dr said it's OK to have it done but I'm still not sure if it's a good idea!

I'm not sure if this was asked. And almost feel like this could be a silly question.... using topical products such as "sweet sweat" and other stretch mark creams, should I stop the use of these products if I plan on getting a tummy tuck? Could these affect the integrity texture and/or elasticity of the skin? and can this affect the final results of a tummy tuck/liposuction? Thank you for your time!

Can you do another tummy tuck after having a child after you've already had a tummy tuck?

Thanks for all your good information 😊

great information. I am healing 3 1/2 weeks after tummy tuck. Due to a hernia and the stem of the belly button was destroyed . My surgeon make a new belly button which is very slow to heal. I am putting saline on gauze 3-4 times a day and have been on antibiotics. Any suggestions for this slow heal?

I payed high , but like you said no bargains for top surgery!

I would like to know what to do about hard scar tissue under the incision scar. I had my abdominoplasty one year ago. The scar is not too bad. It’s low. But I have some areas of hard tissue under the scar. I had five sessions of lymphatic massage over three months beginning three months after the surgery. I also have been rubbing cocoa butter in the area and using a hand massager along the scar but not every day. It may be improving some recently. My question: will the hard scar tissue resolve completely at some point?

My surgeon said instead of exparrel , he advised nerve block. I don’t understand why

Do you have a limit on age. I will be 45 this year, and dr i have been researching doesn't do surgery after 45

What is the downtime of you don’t need the abdominal muscles repaired? And when is working out ok for this case?

What is your knowledge regarding a Fleur de lis? Old procedure? New technology options?

Can you recommend a plastic surgeon on the east coast, I live in Silver Spring MD. Thanks.

Berry Berry helpful tankuu

Dr Barrett thank you so much for your important information! This is very important for most of us women’s! I have a tummy tucked done year’s ago it was okay but up to this day i am not satisfied! You mention about belly button is burned like deformed! Can it be corrected??

Thank you doctor ! I live in arizona , was thinking about turkey cuz its cheaper then the states but now i am listening to you ! And kindda scared to go over seas right now 😉 even my husband was worrying abt me traveling there , i want to have a breast aug and lift , full tummy tuck ! your advices are great ! Am considering your clinic right now .

Iam like tender on my stomach iam 4 weeks after my tummy tuck

Is a male 360 lip more safer than a mommy makeover. Just curious due to the fact that a celeb(JackieOh) recently passed supposedly due to a Mommy makeover. I think it was stated that she had heart failure. Just curious about the pros and cons

He said 'after death, you can get a wound breakdown '.

Thank you

Dr. Barrett do you work on patients with diabetes mellitus type II? I am strongly considering having a tummy tuck with liposuction within the next 6 months.

How long should someone wait after an ALIF?

Hi can I ask a question please. I had a muscle repair and 360 body lift a year ago. I still have pain where the muscles where repaired. In centre above belly button. I’ve had mri and it showed nothing. What is the cause ?

Have you worked on patients with asthma? If so how were you able to? I find that the anesthesia cause calapsed lungs. I'm asking because I want a tummy tuck. I have asthma. it doesn't feel severe to me. Haven't used an inhaler regularly in 15 years. because I haven't need to

What do you like to use for scar healing & fading.

Thank you for this amazing video! Any advice on pre/post op nutrition? How much protein should someone have in the weeks coming up and immediately after surgery. I’ve heard this is important and I’ve also heard it makes no difference. Not sure what to believe 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Dr Barrett. I’m starting my research for my future tummy tuck. At this stage I’m just gathering info on what to look for and what to avoid etc. I’m from Australia, I’ve decided to have my surgery in Aus. I did think about the overseas option but weighing up everything, it makes sense to keep it local. I do have a question about loosened skin around the back, back of hips etc. I’m looking for a surgeon performing lipo and full tummy tuck at the same time. Will they be able to remove the fat and excess skin around that area of the hip and back?

How do I report a awful Abex from sonobello

Dr. Barrett who is the best Surgeon you would recommend in the Florida area for tummy tucks?

Can I have gallbladder removal surgery with the tummy tuck at the same time?

What about the fat on the pubic area? Should that be removed as well?

I need a Dr like you in atlanta

@Dr. Barrett, you mentioned weekly visits post op, how do you manage this w/out of state patients?

Man I wish u done my tummy tuck lol u are so smart.

My surgeon uses sedation for tummy tuck is that ok?

If you don't put on a binder or faja straight away after surgery doesn't the patient get swelling? I've watched 100s of tummy tuck/ bbl videos where they say to put the binder/ faja on straight after surgery I'm so confused now ?

Hello doctor! I am looking to travel to you for my tummy tuck, plus surgery. How long should I stay in California after my surgery?

I've lost over 200 lbs throught diet and exercise and really would love a tummy Tuck and skin and fat removal from my inner thighs....do you have people from out of state come to you for their procedure? I'm in PA. I worry because a bleeder... when I delivered my twins babies 8 and 9 I lost 2.5liters of blood. Am I more likely to have significant blood loss with these surgeries?

I have intermitten afib and on coumadin only due to enlarge atruim from mitro valve stenosis ( rheumatic fever?). Do you operate on someone like me?

I just had an AbEx from sonobello, and I am looking like a monster😢 2:08

Hello, do you by chance recommend other doctors for people who live so far away? I’d there someone you could recommend (that you have confidence in) in or close to southern Illinois? St. Louis, MO ?

Hi Dr! You mentioned tummy tuck under local and how it was crazy… do you feel the same about mini tummy tucks?

Do you recommend lymphatic massage after tummy tuck.?

Hi I'm a runner thinking of getting a tummy tuck worried if its safe with my running after I've healed thanks 😊

Is it common to have a slight temperature after your tummy tuck surgery on the same day?

What makes a belly button ozz sticky substance after a tummy tuck?

Hi Dr. Barrett- I’m a 19 y/o female who has lost 30 lbs and I’m looking to lose around 30 more. I’m 5’0” and have ALWAYS had a larger lower belly and am interested in a tummy tuck eventually as my belly is my biggest insecurity and always has been. Is it ok to get a tummy tuck at my age?

I got more stretch marks after a TT

Hi. Im in Florida and i have been to 2 doctors and they both told me different things so now i am confused on what i should do.They both said i am definitely a candidate for a full tummy tuck. they looked at my stomach and one said i have a small hernia nothing I should worry about though....The other doctor didn’t say that. One said i need muscle tightening and the other one didn’t but if wile in surgery he sees that i need it he will than do the muscle tightening. Should i continue seeing doctors? I have had one child 20 yrs ago im 5.0 feet 120 pounds

I'm on my way to loosing weight, also done having kids, am considering this? How much you should stay near the office for follow up?

Is it a problem for the surgeon if the patient has a hernia mesh?

Do you do any reviews on other Doctors? Especially ones in DR?

Hi dr I had a tummy tuck with Vaser lipo done 4 months ago. I’m still swollen is this normal? And my muscle repair is still painful is this normal also ? Thank you

I had gastric bypass surgery in 2011 I’m thinking of getting tummy tuck or lipo/ breast implants but idk if insurance will pay for it cuz my it’s not much skin no rubbing against each other?

Hello, how much does a tummy tuck cost?

Dr Barrett, I really want a tummy tuck. I have had three children and my belly button is saggy and I have some stretch marks around it my concern is that I don't have a lot of excess skin. I am a size 4 as i run a lot but I have a separation of muscles all the way to my ribs about 4cm can you fi x the muscles if i do not have enough skin for a full tummy tuck? How can i tell if I have enough skin? I dont have any fat on my tummy either i have an incision from a c-section so ideally would like the tummy tuck to go along the same scar if I am a candidate is this possible?

I only had 1 child and pretty much I starved my self , and yes my sad belly button look I am so happy to go with a tummy T!💥💕 What’s sad is that specially fam considered it that tummy tucks are for lazy people, I had and will keep it a secret from family😂😅 Thank you for this video!!💕🙏🏼

Dr. Barrett, I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago to remove a very large tumor. My OBGYN did a nice bikini incision and proceeded to separate my skin from my fascia to make additional cuts to remove my fallopian tubes. When I was in recovery, he mentioned that he repaired by diastasis recti. Three years later, I still have a lot of sensitivity (he said I was a bleeder and he had to cauterize quite a bit). Is the sensitivity normal? I did not have drainage tubes. And what would be the process to see what's going on in there and insure that everything is okay or better than okay? I get that he is not a plastic surgeon, but I figured he had done this before and had been successful since he felt comfortable doing this procedure. I'm sure he didn't do plycation. I was not overweight and didn't have any extra skin, before or after. I have always been underweight and gain 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Went back to being thin, no more than 115lbs. Now in my forties, I am at 150lbs due to no exercise because of fear of what might be going on under my skin and stress from finding more tumors in other parts of my body.Thanks!

I want to come to your office for a consult. I do have a question. I have had another consult and only met with a consultant specialist not the surgeon. This made me uncomfortable because she was telling me what could be and would be done versus a surgeon visible seeing and explaining to me reality vs my hopes.

I had tummy tuck in Tijuana 8 months ago but my belly button is still purple and still don’t have a waist what should I do

Hi Dr. Are you still doing tummy tuck during pandemic?

how long Exparel lasts??

Where are you located I need him for my Doctor

Educate Us !!!!

Is it normal to be hard under the skin along (above) the incision and up to the bellybutton? I was drainless when I went home. I am 17 dpo and just very uncomfortable and the hardness is very sore in the area below my belly button near the incision. It is rock hard.

Is having your belly look like you’re pregnant after a tummy tuck normal?
