When I began the process of investigating plastic...
I have demanding kids, a demanding job and a demanding husband. A recovery time of 6 weeks was not going to happen. I am also extremely squeamish about blood, and seeing the pictures of incisions and drains, I just couldn't imagine putting myself through that. After doing some reading I learned about drainless tummy tucks. This option seemed to offer the possibility of less gore and a shorter down time. Suddenly the tummy tuck became a possibility.
There are no surgeons offering drainfree tummy tucks in center city Philadelphia, so I expanded my search to the Main Line (suburbs). It was there that I found my amazing doctor, who (luckily for me) had recently taken over an established practice and had brought his drain free technique with him. I am now 3 weeks out and couldn't be happier with my results and recovery. My belly is flatter than it was when I was a 120 pound teenager. For the first time in decades, I am looking forward to bikini season. That would be enough, but I have also had a super-easy recovery with very little pain. I was uncomfortable for about 3 days, but after that I was off pain meds and standing upright. I was on my feet and hanging with the family after about 5 days. By day 10, I was back to work. I have compared my experience with the experiences of other RS users and have been amazed at how different my experience has been. It almost feels like cheating. So the bottom line is that I am happy with my decision to have a tummy tuck and I credit my doctor and the drainfree method for my excellent outcome.
Provider Review
I would recommend Dr. Claytor to any woman in the Philadelphia area who is interested in getting a tummy tuck. I had consultations with other "Best Of Philly" plastic surgeons, but left those meetings feeling uncertain about whether the procedure would be worth the pain and aggravation. Dr. Claytor was the only surgeon who gave me the confidence to move forward. Though he was new to the area and I didn't know anyone who had experience with him, after meeting with him I felt safe in his hands. It was clear that he has put time and research into developing a surgery technique (drain free) that produces excellent results with minimal recovery time. I am currently 3 weeks post-op. Every part of my experience went smoothly- my recovery has been super easy and my results are fantastic. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Claytor shortly after his move to the area because I suspect that he will very quickly become the areas "go to" guy for tummy tucks.
