Grady B. Core, MD

I’ve wanted to fix my mummy tummy for the past 20 years, so my 40th birthday present to myself was a mommy makeover! It has been less than 3 weeks since my surgery and I am already beyond thrilled with my results!! I can’t wait to see the final results after all swelling has subsided and my implants drop and fluff! The tummy tuck recovery has been a breeze since no muscle repair was involved. I only took 3 of my pain medication pills. The boobs were the most painful part. He went in through the armpit.

This is a picture of my incision. It’s slightly higher than I would have liked as I like to wear panties and swimsuits quite low. Hopefully it will fade nicely. I think it will since it’s very thin, but I guess I’ll be taking a trip to the tattoo parlor if not. Would rather not have to do that though!!

Picture didn’t post for whatever reason. Now I have to come up with 200 more characters. Side note - I’m 1 month post op and my boobs are still high and tight and pretty uncomfortable. They have dropped slightly, but not much. They still look king of torpedo shaped.

My incision is razor thin! I couldn’t be more pleased. I am going to start putting scar strips on it in a couple of weeks. I think it will fade quite nicely. Breast implants still haven’t dropped and are still quite tight. I got 400cc high profile, but I think maybe I should have gotten 275cc or 300cc. I prefer smaller boobs. Too late now.

Implants have dropped and rounded out. They feel like part of my body now. My waist isn’t as small as I would have liked, but I’ve been back in the gym to see what I can do for that naturally before I make any decisions regarding having something else done. I’m very happy with my results overall.

They are okay, but I wish they were a little further apart and more round. They just don’t look as nice as I was hoping. Oh well

So it’s been a year since my mommy makeover. While I am very happy that the loose skin and the majority of the stretch marks have been removed, I am not happy with the amount of fat that I still have or the width of my waist. I don’t have a very nice looking waist to hip ratio. I wanted my waist to be snatched and to have more of an hourglass shape and not a boxy ruler.

My advice would be to ALWAYS get the liposuction, even if your surgeon didn’t recommend it. I would have gotten the lipo if I could go back in time. Now I will need to get liposuction to achieve the results that I want, and I am not looking forward to having to go through this stuff again. I will probably look at surgeons in Nashville this time.

My experience with Dr Core and his entire staff was outstanding. I was so nervous about having elective surgery and he and his team helped ease my fears. My breast augmentation turned out exactly how I wanted it. I had a fear that they would be larger than what I envisioned, but Dr Core is amazing at what he does and knew what would look best on my body. He also did my upper and lower lids, as well as a brow lift. I am only 5 weeks out from surgery, but I love the results! Everything looks very natural. So happy I had Dr Core do it. His attention to detail makes a huge difference in getting a great, natural look!

Dr. Core is amazing. When I went for a consult he answered the questions I had but then later I had more. I called his office expecting a nurse to call me back. Dr. Core called personally and spent well over 30 minutes explaining everything. I had a tummy tuck. Something I have wanted since I was 10 years old. I am now 50. I thought it would only impact my appearance and my confidence. The tummy tuck has helped my lower back pain tremendously! Dr. Core also had to work on my ab muscles. I can actually feel them now. I have much stronger ab muscles. I could never gain much strength in my core, I now am able. I cant thank him and his staff enough. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Core to everyone I know.
I will use Dr. Core again without question.

I told Dr. Core that I wanted my breast aug to look natural, and just restore volume that was lost after babies/breastfeeding. I am very happy with my results! I highly recommend. And I love his nurse! Grandview hospital is also amazing!

Dr. Grady Core....what can I say? He is the consummate professional who strives for perfection. From the moment you enter his well appointed office, you are treated with nothing but kindness and respect. The staff is so kind and caring and you are treated like a friend as well as a patient. He as done multiple procedures on me, and each outcome has exceeded my expectations. However, the one that stands out for me the most, is my rhinoplasty revision. Having been through three...yes three, previous rhinoplasty surgeries/revisions with unsatisfactory results, I happened upon Dr. Core. He assessed my problem and we decided to proceed...two years later and I have never been happier. He gave me the confidence that I had been searching for my entire life. Thanks so much to he and his wonderful staff!

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Core and his office staff. They are all very friendly, warm, and welcoming. Dr. Core took time to review all my options and helped me make an informed decision on the right procedure for me. Then he took the time to explain my procedure in great detail from pre-op to post-op through the recovery period and answered all my questions and concerns. I chose Ideal Implants and could not be happier with the outcome. It's been 2 months since my surgery and I absolutely love my results. When I went to be fitted for a new bra at a retail store, the sales lady knew immediately that Dr. Core was my surgeon. She said she could always tell his patients from other patients because he does such an exceptional job. I highly recommend Dr. Core!

I have had two procedures by Dr. Grady Core and have been very pleased with the outcome.He is extremely easy to communicate with ,takes time to explain the procedure in detail and answer all questions .He is an exceptional surgeon,his office staff are very caring .After any procedure he is available ,even after hours to address any questions.I highly recommend Dr Core.

Dr. Grady Core is the consummate professional. He is not the average plastic surgeon, going above and beyond to provide impeccable care. His office staff is warm and accommodating. Dr. Core is innovative in procedures that take years off a person all the while looking natural, rejuvenated and rested. He has the eye, the touch and the skill.

I couldn't be happier with the 2 laser treatments that Dr. Core has done on my face . At my consultation I asked him what he recommends to make my face look younger and he said 3 laser treatments, a lower face lift and a brow lift. He explained why and I accepted his professional opinion. He is a wonderful person and I can tell he really cares about his patients and the results. I trust him and his capabilities as a surgeon completely. It is a great feeling not to be scared. He has a great bedside manner and his assistant Beth is wonderful too. I will continue to go to him and I recommend him highly. One of my friends has already had 2 procedures with him and she is very pleased. My husband is also going to him in the future. I am very excited to see my end result. Everyone I know compliments me about my face and I am not even finished. That is all thanks to Dr. Core. I feel so much better about myself. I am 58, so naturally things have changed, but they don't have to stay that way. I am glad I finally took this leap and to top it all off found "The Perfect Surgeon". Thank you Dr. Core.

Had my upper abdomen done with 4 paddles, Sarah was great and I'm very happy with my results. Will do more parts. Had a friend who did CoolSculpting about same time and he has numbing and lumps and I have none of that. The procedure only took 25 minutes and the machine was calibrated to my pain tolerance.
