Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Before photos :)
These are my only before photos - I took them about a year ago when I was at my lowest weight (about 52kg), however I found that this weight was too low, so I have since gained about 6 kg, and am now very happy with my size.
One Week!
The last few days have been a little rough. I caught a tummy bug and spent all Sunday vomiting, and Sunday night in the 24h clinic down the road. Also when they say codeine can be constipating they mean it....I wish I'd taken advice to have mild laxitives on hand more seriously.
My tummy is healing nicely...I finally saw my belly button and it's a nice oval shape and a nice size. I don't really have much swelling around my belly, but my hips and thighs are still quite puffy.
My thigh lift wounds have been the biggest pain, because it's so warm down here in New Zealand that they've been majorly chafing. Dr Kenton-Smith had a look, and I'm now nicely taped up with some gauze and padding to prevent more chafing, which is infinitely more comfortable. I can actually walk now!
Hopefully I'm going to venture out of the house for the first time tonight :)

Day 5 Post Op
Today was a little rougher...My swelling has gone up, and I think I've caught some sort of bug.
Luckily I'm still not too sore, however I'm quite light headed and less mobile than I was yesterday. I'm also nauseous and can't eat much and I'm worried this will affect my recovery :(
Here's to hoping I feel somewhat normal again soon.

Provider Review
Dr. Jesse Kenton-Smith
Dr Kenton-Smith was very knowledgable, and gave me what I believe to be his best unbiased advice. I was well looked after by him and the nurses at the hospital, and he checked in with my daily during my stay. The nurses at St. George's are absolute gems!
