This lovely 56-year-old African American from Grove City was ready to take the plunge and get the tummy-tuck she had long been dreaming of! She researched top plastic surgeons and found Dr. Bivik Shah here at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery. She immediately felt at ease with his expertise and demeanor. Her tummy-tuck and liposuction to the upper abdomen was scheduled, and the rest is history. A total of 7.6 pounds was removed. She is photographed here before and 7 months post-operatively.
