Loved my surgeon and very happy with results! - Calgary, AB

UPDATED FROM IHGB

4 years post op & after a pregnancy

WORTH IT$11,000
Wanted to do a quick update. I am 4 years post op and still fairly pleased with my results, even after a pregnancy. I became pregnant in 2012 and gave birth in 2013, gaining over 40lbs. My scar and muscle repair held up well. Slight stretch marks appeared around my new belly button, but all in all its still a good improvement from pre tuck and no loose skin. I am considering lips to the flanks though.

I feel great and look great! The cost was a big one, but I saved up and had the money ready. I choose a doctor who maybe more expensive but my results are great and the belly button is fantastic!

Liposuction to flanks...not lips.

Im two months post op and loving my results. Im very honest about my surgery and I am so pleased with my belly button especially. It looks very natural and all the suturing and scaring is inside the belly button. I still have swelling at two months but its gone down considerably. Ive gained 5lbs since surgery so Im working on taking that off right now.
I would do it again in a heart beat!

Can you post pictures of after surgery please!!
That's awesome you love your results! I hate seeing tummy tucks where the doctors filet their patients with awful scars, that's not worth it to me. And yes, post pictures! Congratulations. You give me hope! :)
Hi SaskGirl,
I was sooo thrilled to come across your post today. I'm in Halifax and although I've found a PS whom I love, because of an imminent move to Calgary (and the need to drop another 25 lbs!!!!), I've been really bummed that I probably won't be able to have my surgery with him - and have to begin the search all over again. Maybe you've done the legwork for me! I'll be sure to book a consult with Dr. W as soon as I get to Calgary... were there any others you were impressed with or definitely nixed? Would also LOVE to see some pics - especially of that belly button you keep raving about! *grin*
All the best!!!
I Just scheduled a consult with him for a TT. They said they are booking surgeries for March already. I will be waiting until May or June to have the surgery as that is when my mom is back & can help me with the kids. I would love to see pics.
Sorry Ladies. No pics on this site. To easy for the whole world to see (not private enough for me). I do have them on www.tummytucktalk.ning.com Its a private site that you have to request entrence into. The benefit is no one can google 'tummy tuck' and get my private pictures of my body posted all over the internet. Sorry ladies. Little shy about that.
Good luck with all your surgeries!
I paid the $20 for the activation fee, how long does it usually take to get access into the site?

********UPDATE*********


I saw one Dr. for a consult and was not pleased. Ended up going to Calgary Alberta on May 13th and saw Dr. W and had my surgery preformed on May 25th!

He did a FTT with Muscle repair.

Im small to start with but it looks great! He did all my belly button stitches inside the belly button so the belly button looks great and the scar is nice and low. His staff was really nice and available. His receptionist is fantastic!

I got really lucky because I took two cancellations. I took an appointment cancellation as well as a surgical cancellation. Ive heard the wait list for him is longer, but would of been totally worth it!
