First off I went to Dr. Vanderpool 10 years ago for a full tummy tuck. After 3 babies I wanted to finally feel good about myself ago. Tummy tucks can be pretty brutal but Dr. Vanderpool did a great job and made the pain worth it. My stomach, to this day, is flat and beautiful with minimal scarring. If you listen to him and the nurses on your recovery instructions you should have fantastic results. Fast forward 10 years to 3 weeks ago and I had a breast lift and reduction. I’m not going to lie. It’s been rough. Really rough. I’m not sure if it’s my age (43) or if my hormones mixed with a breast reduction made for a horrible recovery? It’s nothing the Dr or the nurses did or didn’t do. It’s just my body. Most people go thru this surgery fine. I guess I was just a fluke! Anyway, I’m 3 weeks post op now and I’m doing better. My pain is still 3 to 6 depending on the day/hour but I know it’s just part of the process. Dr. Vanderpool makes the drive (6 hours!) worth it. We move to STL which put us further from him and I still chose to have him do my breast reduction because he is the good! His bedside manner CANNOT be beat. He puts you at ease and his whole office is just delightful and clean. The second reason I go back to him is because he has surgery suite there at his office. It’s so nice to not have to go to the Hospital for surgery and directly after you are allowed to go home! I always recover much better in my own house. No one likes surgery but he makes it better with all of these options. So my suggestion is to go see for yourself and get your confidence back!
