Happy with tummy tuck - my healing is going well

I met Dr. Schaefer by chance after calling around for abdominalplasty consultation. Upon meeting him I found his bedside manner to be warm, through and educated. I initiate went seeking information about panniculectomy and he discussed with me by asking appropriate questions to uncover if a panniculectomy would meet my desires (it would not). His team took photos and submitted a preapproval request to my insurance company. My insurance approved a panniculectomy and I opted to

Perfect Match!

I met Dr. Schaefer by chance as I needed a Friday appt and he was the surgeon in the office that day, but it turned out to be a perfect match. His nurse Lori is great to work with also, very accommodating and caring. I had a bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer and after much research and thought, decided to do delayed bilateral breast reconstruction with a muscle-sparing free TRAM flap. Dr Schaefer was very helpful and patient answering all of my many questions, explaining

My body finally fits!

Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy with latissimus dorsa flap reconstruction. Recently, he performed a fat grafting procedure to make my breast implants appear more natural. Dr. Schaefer was able to fulfill a life long dream of mine by using fat from liposuction of my calves and ankles. I can truly call this experience life changing. For the first time, I feel like my body finally fits me!! And I am not hiding my legs any more!

Breast Cancer/ Bilateral Mastectomy - Edina, MN

After being diagnosed with BC in June/2016. I was given all options in this portion of my journey and everything was VERY WELL explained to me. I chose and it was recommended - Bilateral Mastectomy, due to my diagnosis. That was performed in August 2016. My recovery time in Phase 1 (first surgery) was about 8 weeks Any kind of surgery like this has is good and bad days, but the weekly office appointments helped with the process and healing journey. All questions were addressed

Breast Reconstruction After Breast Cancer - Edina, MN

Breast Reconstruction after double mastectomy due to Breast cancer diagnosis at 40. I had tissue expanders, multiple "fills", breast implant surgery, nipple reconstruction, tattooing. My tissue expander surgery was the most extensive because it was coupled with my mastectomy. I recovered well from that surgery and I was referred to a physical therapist by my plastic surgeon to ensure I got my mobility in my arms back as well as information and intervention for lymph edema

Every Woman Wants This Done!!

I am 6 month post-op from my tummy tuck & absolutely love my results. Working a desk / office job, I was able to return to work after 10 days out - I went home nightly & had my feet up & needing the extra rest for about 5 weeks. The 'tightning' feel began to lift around 6 weeks. I returned to cardio exercise at 2 months. I have spent my life battling genetics, age & cleaning my diet & exercise, but these results are astounding and unlike any I've ever achieved

Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck with Umbilical Hernia Repair - Waconia, MN

I am 4'11" and 110 lbs. My children are 20 and 16. I turned 40 years old today. Following my pregnancies I was left with severe stretch marks that extended above my belly button. It is my goal to eliminate stretch marks and get into a bikini for the first time in my life. A vertical incision is the only way to go because of the severity of my strech marks. Updated on 14 Nov 2013: Posting these photos is hard for me to do as I am sure it is for many people. There is very
