Tuck It In: Make Me Heal
Posted on Mar 15th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki DonaldsonMarch 15, 2008
An internet acquaintance of mine led me in the direction of the Web site Make Me Heal. She just had a tummy tuck herself and found this resource a few days post-surgery after becoming a little depressed about what she'd done to her body, what she'd done with her money, and what she'd done to her husband and little girl whose lives were altered by this serious surgery. Make Me Heal helped her. It's helping me too.
Make Me Heal, operated out of Los Angeles, is the world's largest online portal for plastic surgery, anti-aging, and beauty products, services, and information. I'm using it solely for its message boards and blogs and have found handfuls of women who have survived tummy tucks and are thriving because of them. Chock full of personal stories, before and after photos, and priceless words of wisdom, Make Me Heal is offering me a sneak peek into what I may encounter myself. There are some sobering thoughts -- a few women are distraught about swelling; others some loose skin was left behind. There are many more hopeful messages -- nearly all of the women are amazed by their results, can't believe how good they look and feel, and share photographs of six-pack abs that are simply beautiful.
This tummy tuck business has my head a bit jumbled. Make Me Heal is making me feel better.
NOTE: Abdominoplasty is recommended for those whose skin and muscle cannot recover on their own as a result of significant weight loss, pregnancy, aging, heredity, or prior surgery. It is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. For more information about this surgery, click here.
