I have three children, including a set of twins. Apparently, skin and muscles don't bounce back from expanding to almost 50 inches in diameter! No amount of exercise and diet could have made the situation any better. So, when I was ready to have the tummy tuck done, I chose Dr. Staebel from Georgetown Plastic Surgery. This was the 3rd procedure he did for me (tattoo removal and a deep facial peel before). Based on my previous experiences I knew he was the right doctor for me. My treatment was very comprehensive and began with a consultation that outlined the entire procedure. I was able to make a very informed decision with all the facts about preparation for the surgery, the actual process, and the recovery. Dr. Staebel is incredibly kind, intelligent, and compassionate. He's also pretty funny! Which is really important because the recovery from this type of surgery is major. You can't expect dramatic results without some dramatic intervention. (Plan on being in full recovery mode for a minimum of three weeks.) While the physical recovery is intense, so is the emotional recovery. Again, Dr. Staebel and the ladies at his office always made time for my questions and took great care to ensure healthy healing and positive results. I was in great hands and I am very, very happy with the results. My clothes fit so much better and I feel so much better about my body. After giving three people life, I think I'm worth that.
