Patti Flint MD Review and $50 Visa Gift Card Giveaway!

I worked very hard to lose 50 pounds about 8 years back. It took me diligence and strength to stick with a regime that would help me lose weight. However, I inevitably always have the trouble spot- my belly! No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get my belly the way I would like it to look. Add on the fact that I birthed two beautiful children in 3 years, and you can see how my trouble belly spot has exacerbated.

Most moms have a baby and never really get back to the body that they had pre-pregnancy. Sure there are a few and we all hate them- I kid! For the majority of us, we all struggle with fitting back into our jeans and feeling, as well as looking, our best.

There are some days that I dream of a tummy tuck. I am going to be honest and say, that I am seriously considering it, after I am done having kids. Sure, call me vain but this is one area that has always bothered me, even before kids. I know it is major surgery and not sure if I will ever really go through with it, but the thought is definitely on the table.

If you are thinking of getting any type of cosmetic surgery, be sure to check out Patti Flint MD. Patti is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale and Mesa section of Arizona. She specializes in cosmetic procedures as well as non-surgical options. She has been voted the top doctor 5 years in a row in the Phoenix area! Each patient is thoroughly educated by Dr. Flint before they ever undergo any type of surgery! She cares for her patients!

    Oh wow! The things I didn’t know about breast implants…
    1. There was a lot of hype over silicone (beliefs I still held)
    2. Silicone is more natural looking
    3. You can adjust the saline to make the breasts more symmetrical.

    That was fun. Love her Learning Tool.
