My experience with Dr. Humphrey was exceptional. I am very happy with the staff and with his bedside manner. From start to finish I felt like I was in good hands. Anna was awesome she listened to me and gave me suggestions based on her professional opinion during sizing. Im currently 4weeks PO and very thrilled with the results of my surgery! They went above and beyond and delivered. Thank you 605L 650R 14.2 BWD 5"8 198PDS
I gave birth to my first child at age 18. I got a ton of stretch marks. I always wanted to repair my stomach but I knew I wanted more children. Fast forward 23 years later. I am now a mom of three and I’m not having any more children. I’ve finally decided to get a tummy tuck. I’m really super scared of surgery but I have decided to just go through with it. I have spent nearly half my life insecure about my stomach. My surgery is Monday 11/09/2020. I am 5’1” and weigh about 148lbs. Updated on 13 Nov 2020: 3 days post op. I’m happy with the results. The first day was extremely painful. Very swollen, I still have 2 drains. Ran a fever of 101 first night. Since then I’ve been below 100 degrees. Recovery is a process will take a while Updated on 13 Nov 2020: I have needed a tummy tuck for over 20 years. I wanted to make sure I was finished having children and I also had to get over my fear of surgery. I finally decided to get a tummy tuck after my colonoscopy went surprisingly well. I tolerated the general anesthesia really well. I was still super scared but decided that at age 41 it was now or never. So far I’m 3 days post op. I’m really happy with my results. These last few days have been rough recovery wise. But this was to be expected. I chose Dr Humphrey as my surgeon. because he is near me and I have family members who have used him and he does good work. His bedside manner is not super friendly, but he is polite and professional. I am happy I chose him because my incisions look good. He has been honest every step of the way about my results. I highly recommend him. He got me in quickly which I loved because it gave me less time to freak out and again I’m very pleased with his skills as a surgeon. He was priced competitively l have no complaints so far.
I had lost 90 lbs and after being overweight my whole life and having two kids, my stomach was never going to be flat and I was always going to have the flabby gut. I decided to do a tummy tuck, breast lift and implants. I'm two days post op and feeling much better than anticipated and so far very pleased with results I'm seeing!!! So worth the money of doing this. I can't wait to take the wrap off tomorrow and shower and see how it looks!! Updated on 31 May 2020: Updated on 4 Jun 2020: Updated on 22 Jun 2020: I couldn’t be happier with how I look now, if anyone is debating on doing this... just look at my before pics and you’ll be completely motivated to go for it. Dr Humphrey did amazing work! I’m healing fabulously and can’t wait to get back into the gym to get my legs and arms firmed up !! Updated on 24 Jun 2020: I am totally in awe of how I look now. I'm healing up perfectly, no issues regarding healing and everything is looking awesome!! If anyone is debating on doing this, look at my before and after pics and that will motivate you to go for it. And if you live in the Midwest, I highly recommend Dr Humphrey at heartland plastic and hand surgery in Cape Girardeau, Missouri!!
Passionate and proud to be a blessed client. I was reluctant to do the surgery but, after the appointment, doctor, surgery, & helpers guiding me through the whole process what a blessing & breeze. Happy with the situation and carefulness thru the Coronavirus 19. The prices are good and the discounts as well. Clean and professional with . I even had bad TMJ and swollen throat that doctors and dentists could not fix but, to break my jaw that is a fortune but, of of grace and blessings both are fixed. Thk u all for taken care of me means the world to me . Clothes fit better and I feel like a woman now
Great experience, Dr. Humphrey and his staff are wonderful, the procedure I had went exceptionally well, I’m so happy with my results. I feel much better about myself. I will refer anyone I know to Dr. Humphrey.
Dr. Humphrey made me feel very comfortable, answered all of my questions without trying to hurry out of the room, didn’t give me false expectations on what to expect, and did a fantastic job on my procedures. My only regret is that I waited so long. I would highly recommend Dr. Humphrey.
Dr. Humphrey is very professional and easy to talk to. He listens and explains procedures to my understanding. He is personable and has a good sense of humor. The staff makes every visit enjoyable and comfortable.
I went to one of their seminars and received a discounted rate just for doing so! I was able to treat my my lower stomach and love handles 2x each for just $1350.00. I thinks half what other practices are charging! During the seminar they explained how the process works and that they now have the newest applicators which were supposed to be more comfortable and take less time. It took me 35-45min for each one of my cycles. I had a lot of itching and numbness and a few sharp pains in my lower abdomen after the procedure, which they explained was normal since we had damaged the fat cells. I had my after photos taken 3 months later and they're even on their website now! I'm very happy with my results! This reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review.
Dr. Humphrey and his staff have all been wonderful! He is very patient and takes the time to answer all my questions. The surgery went much better than I was expecting. I had no pain at all and recovery has gone very smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Humphrey!
Dr. Humphrey was amazing to work with along with his staff. He was very professional, and was very thorough about the whole process. He answered all my questions, and is such a perfectionist. I’m loving my results, and would recommend him to anyone.
I use the Enlighten laser in my practice for tattoo removal. I treat both color and black tattoos. No specific questions come to mind that you should ask. The laser works amazingly well for removal and works faster/with fewer treatments that any other system I have had experience. It is very quick and very well tolerated. Bottom line, I think you will love it!!
I would recommend that you hold off on all reconstruction until you are at least one year out from the completion of your radiation therapy. In my practice after radiation therapy you would only be offered autologus tissue reconstruction as the complication rates with tissue expanders and/or implants alone is very high. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery!
In my practice I typically have patients were a compression garment after mini tummy tuck for 6 weeks. During this time they can remove it for showering and short breaks while lying in the bed. I also generally recommend that they use other lighter forms of compression, such as high waisted Spanks or girdles, for another few weeks after.
I allow my patients to sleep in any position they desire immediately after surgery. Most not surprisingly choose not to sleep on their tummies! Hope this helps.
Great question. First, I would recommend you ask your surgeon because we all from time to time will modify our typical advice and practices based upon factors we observed in surgery, technical differences or intraoperative manuvers we performed, patient compliance, patient activity levels, etc. With those caveats I typically have my patients in a slightly compressive bra for 5-7 days after surgery removing it only for showering and washing. After this, I typically have my patients go without a bra as much as possible for the next few weeks until the soft tissue envelope has relaxed and the implants have lowered.
