Dr.Singh and his staff are very welcoming and knows there stuff.had a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago and the results are excellent. Listen to them and your recovery will be fast. Your 1st appointment is fast.... Never waited more then 5mins. The surgery centre is great as well and staff are very knowledgeable.
Dr.Singh is a amazing surgeon his years of experience and his knowledge is exceptional. I showed him pictures and talked about what I wanted in a nose he understood this and was able to give me the look I was after. That being said he told me everyone's face is different that he would do to the best of his ability to achieve my desired results and he did! I was delighted I cried tears of joy the first time I seen my new nose!!! Updated on 6 Jun 2015: Updated on 7 Jun 2015: So after I had the initial surgery I had a bump at the bridge of my nose that after six months still was present . So I had a revision well little did I know that it would change the look of my nose , I was under the impression that it would be a simple grinding down of this small but noticeable bump . Well instead of grinding down the bump my doctor implanted a piece to raise the whole bridge of my nose to level off this bump and as well injected fat into my nose . I am so confused as to why this all was needed ..... I told my doctor right before the revision surgery how I absolutely loved the look of my nose the only problem to me was that bump ....... As soon as the bandage came off after the revision I cried this time not from joy but in confusion as to why my nose looked completely different ... My doctor has told me this is now a better nose but why do I dislike it so much????? I have been trying not to allow myself to be depressed but it is hard not to be, I loved the nose he gave me only to have him take it away and give me a look I do not want ........ Updated on 7 Jun 2015: Updated on 8 Jun 2015: Updated on 8 Jun 2015: Updated on 8 Jun 2015: Updated on 9 Jun 2015: I guess why I'm so unhappy after my revision is as follows I had waited thirty years to get my nose done and in the initial surgery had pretty much everything (minus the bump) I dreamed of a little short cute nose , the revision changed that implanting that piece has given me a longer nose the exact opposite of what I would ever want!!!!! My doctor has told me this is an illusion that it's the same size as before the revision well I see it and it looks longer..... I have been depressed ever since December when I had the revision i have cried avoided mirrors ect ect ...... If it's just an illusion why was I not having this illusion prior to the revision ???? This is what I can not wrap my brain around Updated on 13 Jul 2015: Updated on 30 Aug 2015: Updated on 30 Aug 2015: Updated on 31 Aug 2015: Updated on 31 Aug 2015: looking at the pics of my nose after the first surgery has started to make me look at my revision differently. i see a huge improvement with the side profile and the line going down my nose is gone now. i guess my first new nose i was really attached to as it was my first experience not having a large nose and when it was tweaked and made better my self image was changed in my mind i guess not sure why exactly just happy i am having less angst over my nose!!! Updated on 31 Jan 2016: well i have seen dr.G.B Singh for my nose for the last time... i had seen him in november 2015 at that time i said to him i feel i have a hanging columella and also i have a lump on my right side of my nose he is a doctor of few words but did say to me ohh the lump is just cartilage let me look over your pictures and come back in a month to see what needed to be done well my appointment was cancelled and i was told to call back after the new year which i did ( funny how differently i have been treated before i had paid for procedure the nurses were so welcoming and friendly greeted me by name now treated quite coldly) when i returned to Dr. Singh's office he told me that nothing was wrong with my nose ummmm pardon me?????? i asked to see my picture from the first surgery (primary surgery) as i had really loved the overall look of my nose it was just the bump that i had not liked and why i had the revision as he was just going to rasp the bone or so i had thought well he told me i have no such pictures of your nose!!!!!! Say WHAT??? this was an outward lie no way i had been in the preop room awaiting surgery he came in and asked the morning of Dec 5 2014 what it was again just to make sure what i wanted done to my nose my words were" I Love everything about this nose you gave me only that bump needs to be fixed" he then took pictures from all angles.... he then went on to tell me the other nose,the primary one he had done looked like BOb Hope with that big slope i loved the slope so what i don't understand what gives any human being the right to tell you lies then to tell you what looks better??? it is my face!!!!! now thank god over all my nose is not horrible it has taken a toll me it has taken a full year to come to terms i will not get it back to how it was with the primary nose ,but what gives a doctor the right to change the over look of your nose without your permission??? this is what my brain has had the most difficulty with the lies, the different explanations which are numerous that he has given me but none make any sense to me .. now if he would've said yes i know there is a difference in what your nose looks like but i needed to fix or i needed to prevent a collapse ect ect would of made all the difference to me i'm a logical person and if i was dealt with in a straightforward honest way i could of come to terms with WHY this had been done with out my consent!!!!!! Updated on 3 Feb 2016: Updated on 8 Jun 2016: Well after I said I would not go back to see dr.Singh I did as in Winnipeg Manitoba he is the expert in rhinoplasty and I was tired of hating my nose !!!! The reason I had the surgery to begin with was to decrease my self consciousness over my nose not to increase it!! So I went back and dr Singh agreed to do the columella revision .. So I had it done today under local would not recommend this as dr.Singh had asked me if I was alright with needles I had said I'm fine with needles , I just did not realize they would be in my nose ouch is all I can say once it was frozen not so bad not being under but I kept my eyes closed throughout .. I could feel the stiching and hear him cutting I am thankful that I had been so ignorant leading up to today thinking the needles would be an I.V and that I had thought that I would be semi out of it and not really aware of the procedure wrong hahahahaha . It was done in thirty minutes and no packing dr.Singh brought over a mirror and instantly I could see the improvement see this was exactly what had been wrong and why I had disliked the revised nose so much the tip is now a bit higher less columella hanging which makes all the difference in the balance of my face dr.Singh said the difference will be so subtle only I would notice which is all that matters !!!as I sure can see the difference . I was very overwhelmed as its been a full year and a half of being told what I was seeing was fine and my friends and family although well meaning saying you look fine not really understanding well how could they unless you've been through it only then can someone truely understand my breathing is wayy better now too hope it stays that way as my right side had been very hard to breath through my nose I just became a mouth breather as it was so noisy and kind of embarrassing all the whisiling and weird sounds the right side would make as I tried to breathe through my nose . Pain wise not that bad have a tension headache upper lip is stiff and my nose is a bit bloody and sore over all pretty decent as just had procedure done five hours ago Updated on 9 Jun 2016: Updated on 9 Jun 2016: Updated on 7 Apr 2019: I had not updated due to my disappointment in the columella tuck it looked fine for a fe weeks after not so good ....I felt disheartened and was unsure if I was ever going to have a normal looking nose ..... I have since started a new review with my revision with a different doctor the results are amazing I’m so grateful .....
Hi All, Decided to take the plunge and join the group of amazing ladies posting their hearts on this site. I am 41 (how is that possible) with three amazing boys 10,9 and 4 and a super supportive husband. My adult life has been a constant struggle with my weight. If I am honest I can't remember a time that I haven't worried about my weight. I was unable to get pregnant until we met the most amazing fertility specialist who performed a procedure on my ovaries that resulted in almost instant success. I developed PCOS and until the drilling of my ovaries I was unable to concieve. The PCOS also contributed to a rapid weight gain, that and my love for entertaining and gourmet meals! Over the last 15 years my weight topped out at 260ish pounds. This was during my last preganacy which also left me with Type 2 diabetes and HBP. So, end of the long drawn out sob story. I decided it was time to take back my life and have been working very hard especially over the last year to bring my wieght down and try to get off the copious amounts of medications that made me feel awful! My endo ( a very supportive physician) listened to me when I told her point blank that I did not want to have to continue with injecting insulin and precribed Victoza for me to try. This was truly the start of changes for me. I joined Weight Watcher's online (AGAIN) and decided to make the necessary changes to get myself to the point where a tummy tuck could be a possibility for me. My husband has always told me that we would find a way to pay for the surgery if I could just lose the weight. This somehow clicked for me this year and so here I am about 77 lbs lighter and still working on it. I made the couragous decision to bare my belly for the PS as embarassing as it is for me. He was wonderful and I felt at ease immediately with him and his style. I am not looking to be a bikini model, I just want to feel like myself again. I want to remember the girl I used to be before I met "the belly". I want to feel sexy again, to feel good in clothes, to not feel as though I need to hide behind big, long shirts. I have a great life, God has blessed me in so many ways. I just don't want to not feel so self conscious. I want to wear a bathing suit and not have my tummy hang out the leg holes! I want to wear cute panties that won't look like g-string from the front! I am scheduled for my tummy tuck on June 5 so the countdown is on LITERALLY! I have a sticky note pad on my desk and I rip off a day at a time. I just want it to be here. But, until then I will continue to try to lose more weight, walk on the treadmill, and read the posts here. I meet with the PS again for another preop talk to answer any questions that I have. I am starting a list, if you have any suggestions let me know. I will post photos soon, just have to take them!! Updated on 6 May 2012: I'm getting impatient... How can it still be a month away?. Updated on 8 May 2012: Ok posting of the dreaded before photos. This poor tummy has seen better days....the days before the 2 hernia surgeries, the emergency c- section, the exploratory laproscopic surgeries, the 3 pregnancies with an all time high weight of 260(ish) and now the larger than life rectus diastasis. Updated on 9 May 2012: Well I meet with the PS again tomorrow to discuss in greater length the procedure and have my many accumulating questions answered. I have asked to be put on the cancellation list for any earlier surgery dates. I am starting to realize from reading other's posts that the recovery time I allowed myself prior to the kids summer break was probably a bit understated.....hmmm we shall see. I am a pretty quick healer but one never can tell how long till I am feeling 100 percent??? I have quite the list of questions started but any ideas for more would be appreciated! Thanks TT Family!! Updated on 11 May 2012: Oh My Word, had the second pre-op question period with my PS yesterday. I asked to be put on the cancellation list for future dates that might come up prior to June 5 (my planned purgery date). The more I've been reading the more I realized that I might need a little more time prior to summer when my 3 dudes will be home with me while I continue to work my full time job. Well today I recieved a call that they had a cancellation and my surgery could be moved to May 16 if I wish!!! I burst into an immediate sweat and was excited and scared all at the same time. Wow, this time next week I will be getting the drains out and be on the "flat side". the surgeon told me yesterday that everything below the belly button will be gone and he will have a nice low scar below my existing c-section scar and hysterectomy scar. He will be giving me an all new belly button, he commented that my current BB is all over the place. When I asked how high the flank lipo would go he says they can't go very high because of where the blood supply comes from??? I am a little worried about being disappointed with that part. Although the idea of not having this skin flap sitting in my lap next week is uber cool! The other exciting part for me is the repair of my diastasis rectus which is terribly large and allows hernias to pop in and out regularly. I have already had 3 different hernia surgeries so this repair will be most appreciated. Well, I've got to finish my work day, make freezer meals all weekend and get my household in a state of order! My hubby was able to move his schedule around so he can be at home with me from Wed- Monday of the long weekend (in Canada). I have my mom and mom-in-law ready and willing to help after that point when needed. YIKES it's really happening. can't wait to post after photos! Updated on 14 May 2012: 2 more sleeps, crazy!! So many things to do to be ready, I had my family over for Mother's Day lunch and my husband's parents for supper on Sunday. Today was a full day of work and getting things ready for the upcoming week. Did a $400 Costco trip made lasagna, meatloaf muffins, hamburgers for the freezer. Plans for a long weekend at the lake have been squashed thanks to moi! Just heaping on the guilt myself! Don't need any help with that. Hoping to get a good nights rest. Got an urgent call that the hospital needs to see me so I guess I will have to fit that into my work schedule tomorrow. Well think it's bedtime night all! Updated on 15 May 2012: Well today is the big day! Got to get 3 kids off to school and then make our way to the hospital for pre op stuff. Should go fairly smooth. Forgot to get measurements of the before girth but I will do that tomorrow. Drowsy so I should make use of the heavy eyelids. See you on the flat side!!!! Updated on 22 May 2012: Ok here's a couple of updates, not great pictures but they are at least showing I made it to the other side. Updated on 22 May 2012: Anyone know why I can't post updated photos? Updated on 25 May 2012: 9 days PO Dr. Told me a foot of skin was removed!! I guess that's depth because I am a whole lot wider than that! Updated on 28 May 2012: Hi all, today I drove for the first time and man I felt FREEEEEEE. I am just the kind of person that has a hard time relying on others for things that I am capable of doing on my own. I have been so blessed by so many people who have helped out over the last little while as I recouped. Many meals have been provided by caring family and friends. We as a family are so thankful for all the help.. Without my mom and my hubby this would have been a disaster. With 3 kids life is busy, with one parent down life is INSANE! I feel pretty good. I have not rested at all today. Trying like crazy to get back to a normal work schedule. My swelling was a little less today and I am down about 7 lbs since after the surgery. I have quite a bit of swelling in my lower abdomen and even lower! WOW I heard about it but never imagined what that could look like! I have been fairly emotional lately and I understand that is a normal part of this process, it just kinda took me off guard. ANyways, the healing continues and I will go to have stitches removed tomorrow. That will be nice. They are a little itchy at this point. Still wearing binder and control panties everyday and night. Hoping to go underwear shopping in the next few weeks to buy panties that don't cover my belly button for the first time in about 12 years! Updated on 1 Jun 2012: Well it's hard to believe 2 weeks have passed by already. Time flies and life is busy. Had to go for another visit to the PS yesterday to have my pubic area drained. When i saw the crazy needle I about dropped to the floor but thank goodness - haven't got much restored feeling "down there" yet! They took out about 200 cc of fluid build up. It was both relieving and odd at the same time. I can't get used to standing partly naked with people inspecting my "punga" as I refer to it. But, ce la vie! I weighed in todayand I am down 12 pounds from when I arrived home but I was up 5 lbs when I came home from IV fluids and meds. So it seems so far I am down 7 from my presurgery weight. 176 - havent seen that weight in over a decade I m sure. My pants are all baggy and loose on me and I just generally look better and feel better about me. I may have to go for another aspiration but that's okay with me. Updated on 4 Jun 2012: Well, time flies when you are a busy working mom of three busy boys. I am pretty much able to do just about everything on my own now, with the exception of vaccuuming and a few other heavier household chores. I am going to start back on the treadmill again tonight, wish me luck! I am working full time. I find that I tucker out by about 2:00, that is when the overwhelming tired feeling hits. Just gotta push through and keep on going! I still find the mid afternoon swelling quite incredible, and even though I think it will feel better without the binder for awhile, it is amazing how quickly my tummy and back hurt. So, CG it is for awhile longer. Think I may need to go back in this week to have my pubic area drained again.....not looking forward to it and hoping that I don't have to but the alternative is not fun either! Bought my first bikini undies in about 15 years, oh what a feeling! Saw some family this weekend and everyone couldn't get over my transformation. A lot of them haven't seen me since I lost weight never mind the TT. I have to admit I am not comfortable with the attention, made me feel kind of embarrased. WEIRD. Updated on 14 Jun 2012: I am one month PO now and starting to feel like oldself, just better! I am so not used to the newer, improved body I now have. I bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans the other day. I could do up the 8 but just felt better in the 10. That is such a huge difference over the sixe 16/18 that I was wearing a year and a half ago. I have finally followed through with something. I set my eyes on my goal and although there were struggles I am happy with my progress. I really want to start on the treadmill but have been quite sore from the muscle repair. I think that I should start soon anyways but I vaccummed for the first time the other day and paid for it dearly. I guess waiting for another week won't kill me. It is time to start watching my points again on WW. I need to jog off these inner thighs and turkey neck arms! Bought a new bathing suit the other day, I am completly different sizes on the top and bottom, hoping that evens out more as I continue to lose weight. I have always been top heavy, it just got more even over the years! Will try to post some new pictures soon! Updated on 17 Jul 2012: Well I am 2 months post op and feeling great. I still have internal pain from the muscle repair and I still get swollen by the end of the day but overall my scar looks fantastic. I went last week to have a stitch removed that was opopping through the incision line. I will likely need revision surgery in a few months, there is a small dog ear on my right side at the end of the scar line and the PS feels he may have left too much skin in the pubic area. I have to agree with him, it puddles when I sit down and I feel like it sticks out further than it should. It seems noticable to me although I am not sure everyone else notices. At first I wasn't keen on having any more surgery but I figure I paid to have this done and I should be 100% staisfied with the results. I can't believe how great I feel in clothes now. It truly is night and day. I will post some newer photos (Just gotta get ahold of my hubby's IPhone). I finally invested in some new pretty panties and more bathing suits than I have ever owned in my life!!!! Hope all is well with my fellow Tummy Tuckers out there!
I'm 38, have two kids 21 and 14. I'm 5'2, 133 lbs. I got my first implants in 2009, 375 cc over the muscle; they were too big and I had them replaced with 325 cc in 2010. I also had a tummy tuck that went bad. I have a large additional vertical scar on my stomach as the doctor removed to much skin booo!! anyway my implants were still to big. I had my implants removed today. At this point I feel great. I love the way I look in my shirt already. I will post pics tomorrow when I feel better. I had extreme anxiety leading up to surgery. It happened quickly. I mad e the decision to remove them just 4 weeks ago after reading this site. I was able to see my doctor right away. Right now my boobs look very sad but I plan to relax and give it time to heal. Will post more later. Time to rest. Updated on 31 Dec 2013: i feel great. There was no cost to remove the implants. There was no pain last night. I don't have any drains either. I didn't sleep well at all I think it was from the meds that I was under during the procedure. Anyway the reason I got implants is because I was already going for surgery for a tummy tuck so I thought why not. I didn't put much thought into the size....big mistake. I honestly didn't have the rigt knowledge or information when I made the decision. I think my doctor and nurse should have helped me more. The questions I should have shed myself were how do I want to look when im at work? How do I want to look when I'm with my family? How do I want to look when I am with my husband? This would have helped me choose a better size. Shopping with big boobs has been a nightmare. All I tried to do after I got them was to hide them. Gosh what was I thinking!! Anyway I'm glad they are gone. I hope and pray they go plump up to the way they were. Im super happy they look somewhat normal. They are just hanging really low. I'm guessing cause I had children and the size of the implant. I have hope. Thank goodness I love yoga. I hope that helps when I get back at it. Updated on 1 Jan 2014: Physically I'm fine. No pain. Taking antibiotics and pain killers when needed. I'm up and about around the house. I'm off work until Monday. I'm worried about work. I don't want to look completely flat chested when I go back. I will have to get a push up bra or something. Id rather that they not know. They are still hanging pretty low but I have to have faith they will go back. I'm obviously going through implant withdrawal. In a way I miss them. Time to adjust. Updated on 2 Jan 2014: Feeling good, no pain, found a good supportive tank top, finished my antibiotics, I don't think there is any change in shape and size booo! I went to the doctor he said all is well. I asked if there was anything I need to do to help with scar or to help strengthen the skin around my boob, he said no, lol, isn't there massaging or creams etc? I have a couple stitches that will be out on Monday. I learned that my first set in 2010 was 375 cc and my second set in 2012 was 300 cc. When I start to miss them I think of my inspiration mila kumis or rhonda rousy, I have always felt like the sporty spice than anyone else. My body matches my goals of being the healthiest possible, living organically, helping my fitness and family, being there for others, caring for myself, loving myself unconditionally, I'm so grateful for my loving husband of 16 years. I used to weigh 120 but I let myself gain weight with the implants because my body was unperportioned now I want to work on getting my weight under control. Still adjusting. Still grateful. Back to work in 3 days...boo! Wishing you all the best ladies! Updated on 2 Jan 2014: I have a theory of not fully supporting them with a tight top that way they will be force to gain strength themselves to make the skin tighter...lol. I feel like I am enabling them with a tight top, exercise is about movement! Lol, maybe Ill do more research.... :) Updated on 17 Jan 2014: Im sorry for not responding. all my messages went to junk mail. i didn't know i had any messages. I feel amazing. I'm so grateful I had the implants removed. My boobs look and feel great. They feel normal! I feel pretty. The weight is gone. My coworkers didn't even give me a second look. No one can actually tell. My bra fits nice. My shirts fit so much better. I bought a whole bunch of new shirts. it was easy to find shirts that fit. I'm back to 36 b cup. I feel confident. The insecurity of trying to hide them and thinking they are too big is gone. No more obsessing about my giant boobs! What a relief! The scars are fairly big but I don't care. I plan to start yoga again this weekend. I don't understand why some doctors use drains and some don't. Too me that would create air suction sucking nipples in. I don't know, im not doctor, maybe cause I had mine under muscle? Good luck ladies. I wish u all the best!!! Updated on 17 Jan 2014: I also didn't have a lift. I just had them removed.
The most horrible experience in all my life. I was anxious to see Dr. Singh as he is known as top 10 surgeons in Winnipeg. My visit was horrid. He explained his procedure. Told me I had back fat that would still hang over after tummy tuck; which caused insecurities for me. I became hesitant and incompetent of my self image. He asked me in questionnaire what my bra size was. I was embarrassed to tell him because I knew I was not that size. When I shared my size and told him that I have no breasts at all. I wore this size to fit all the lose skin in bra to make me feel somewhat of a woman. When he examined them; he said these are not the size you claim them to be! Again he made me feel insecure. Once he left he explained nurse would come in with prices and procedures and also size my breasts for implants. She did not size me at all. She explained the process of the application to mb health. I asked her a couple of questions about coverage and tummy tucks and she became abrupt with me. Then she asked me if I wanted to go through with submitting application and informing me there was a fee without knowing if I would be approved or not? So I said I would like a second opinion and she said that’s your choice! And stormed out of room. Never have I felt so insecure and ugly underneath MY CLOTHES. There was no compassion whatsoever. I felt like I was treated as a number. That day was hard for me to get through. I felt like giving up on me. That was one day ago. Today I am better. Today I’m doing more research. I decided I am not going to let this dr take me down. I’ve worked too hard to get where I am and I will findA MORE compassionate dr out there who will look at my best interests.
very rude. had a consult with him and he told me my nose was fine and didn't spend any time talking rhinoplasty, and instead was more concerned about bringing awareness to my acne, which I did not come there for...
I'm starting out at a 32B. I have always been very self conscious and unhappy with how small I am. I've been considering a BA since I was in high school. I have had my consultation with Dr. Singh at the Western Surgery Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I was referred to him from a family friend who under went reconstructive surgery with him. The ideal size I would like to end up with would be a full C cup to a small D cup. I tried on implants ranging from 300cc to 500cc. At the time the 500cc looked about the size I want to achieve however, doing more research since my consultation, I'm realizing that's probably way too big. I'm leaning towards the 425cc to 450cc range. Updated on 8 Mar 2016: These pictures are the look that I am wanting! Updated on 13 Mar 2016: Here are my before pictures. Updated on 14 Mar 2016: Photos didn't upload in last post, sorry Updated on 9 Jun 2016: 95 days until my BA on September 12th. Here are a couple pictures of me now. I bought the bikini top to take before and after pictures for comparisons. I need to book my second consultation for beginning of August. I want to try sizers on again but I'm leaning towards 450ccs at the moment. Updated on 9 Jun 2016: Jenny Eden Poe has an amazing site filed with tons of information when it comes to BAs. She suggested choosing a 'Boobie Guide'. A Boobie Guide is a woman who has your dream boobs. My Boobie Guide is Dilya Diaz. Here are some photos of her. She is perfection. ???????????? Updated on 25 Jul 2016: I originally wanted to go with 425cc or 450cc HP. I went back today to try sizers on again and finalize a size. The 450ccs were too wide for my bwd (12cm). The 425ccs looked too small.. We finally decided on the 465cc HP implants. I had my husband and my sister in law to help me out with this decision! Michele the RN said they're gonna go ahead and order them for me! I'm so excited! She also said that she will be emailing me my pre op information very soon and that I will find out my surgery time the week before surgery. I have to call and make a doctors appt to get my medical clearance for surgery! 49 days until my BA and I can't wait! Updated on 31 Aug 2016: 12 days left until my surgery. Here are some pre op pics of my 32Bs in an unpadded sports bra. I've decided to go with 465cc high profile gummy bear round implants. Stats: 5'11", 165lbs, 27 years old, no kids Updated on 25 Sep 2016: Surgery was September 12 2016. I am now almost 2 weeks post op.
