Physician

Out of the 4 doctors I consulted with, I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Gray. His location (Victoria) and the estimate of costs were secondary factors, but did play a part. The one thing I feel uncomfortable with is the fact that I have not read any reviews of him performing a tummy tuck on someone. His "rateyourmd" reviews suggest he is a gifted surgeon, and according to his assistant certainly does lots of tummy tucks... but it would just be nice to SEE his work! Apparently he has a portfolio in his office... but I didn't see it when I was there and I don't think I will be able to make the trip down there before the surgery is booked/confirmed. I got the impression as well that he doesn't push the "before/after" angle on his patients. I can appreciate that and that fact probably helped me feel comfortable. Not having to strip down and have unflattering photos taken shortly after meeting someone is always nice!!! When I met with him, he said to feel free to call him if I thought of more questions. I did end up with a few questions that only he could answer (his assistant was helpful and answered all she could) and it took him a week and a half to get back to me. I was feeling anxious about that... but when he called it was the weekend and he apologized for taking so long. He was able to answer all my questions in detail and I feel positive that he will take great care of me and that I will be very happy with my results.

I wanted to load the photos from my phone and then type the rest on my computer... so I have to add that info here. Anyways, more than a year post-op and I feel great! My tummy is flat and I'm getting used to having boobs... gradually! Part of me wishes I had gone a touch smaller as I feel so conspicuous, in spite of the fact that they are the perfect size for me... maybe just a bit too perfect to be natural! I think I should have gone with my gut and gone with something a wee bit smaller. My tummy is relaxing and feeling pretty normal... still have no feeling in the area around my belly button, but I'm getting used to that. My skin still has terrible stretch marks, but that couldn't be helped and I'm glad Dr. Grey didn't go any tighter. My scar is still pretty visible... but continues to fade. Some sections are white. One downside of having had the incision hip to hip is the slight line/lump there... The skin above the incision has more fat on it than below... so when I gain a couple pounds (or am puffy from my period), the ridge is a bit more visible :/ My belly button isn't perfect, but if you don't examine it too closely and critically (who examines belly buttons closely anyways!?! haha) it looks pretty good, I think. Anyways, just wanted to give people the true "after"... :) :) :)
