Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift
I went in to Dr. Kurley’s office wanting to change the way I looked, I was in my 40’s and had given birth to three children that were now teenagers. I was not happy with my flabby stomach and sagging breasts, worked hard at the gym, and watched what I ate but nothing changed. I went in the office for a consultation and so glad that I did. The whole staff is very welcoming and answered any questions they could over the phone and at the desk. I met with Dr. Kurley and after talking about my wants and needs, He explained about the human body abdomen area and about the different surgeries that can target different problem areas. I learned about the types of fat that I had on my body compared to what I thought was fat was actually extra skin. I also learned that the extra skin in my case was not going to change no matter how hard I worked out at the gym. We talked about the type of tummy tuck and breast lift that we would do and in detail before I agreed to the surgery so I knew exactly what I was signing up for. I was complete knowledgeable about my options and what the doctor suggested we do and why, this made me feel very comfortable having my procedure with them. I received a packet that we reviewed with together so I was very sure of the steps I needed to take at home before surgery, what they would be doing in surgery and how to take care of myself after surgery. I found this packet to be very helpful and referred to it often for assurance.
The day of surgery everyone was very happy and I felt at ease and comfortable. When I woke up after the surgery I was already dressed and sitting up with my husband at my side. I actually did not feel any pain at all; the staff led me out to the car and helped my climb awkwardly in. The next day I returned in the morning to get the catheter out and still did not feel so bad, was able to walk on my own. In fact, my whole recovery was not that painful at all. I did take the pain meds they prescribed but weened myself off after a week and then over the counter ibuprofin and asprin did the trick. I was back to my desk job in 2 weeks. Every follow up was very comfortable and familiar, like going to visit family where you catch up with everyone. Today, I have the body I was wanting and hoping to get, I feel like my young 20-year-old self again and can wear my slim fitting clothes without the muffin top. My shirts fit better and I look great in a bikini.
If I had to do it again I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience. I even sent my good friend for her tummy tuck and she had the same wonderful experience. I still go to Dr. Kurley now for Botox and other facial treatments. I trust Dr. Kurley’s advice and follow his lead. It is wonderful and reassuring to find a cosmetic surgeon who you can trust.
