First, I can't say enough good things about Dr Hermann and his staff. From the first time I met him I knew he was the surgeon I would chose. He spent as much time as I needed explaining the procedures and risks to me. You just instantly feel comfortable with him. And I could tell he is a perfectionist and truly cared about what I wanted.
The surgery was a breeze. I felt like I was in the best hands the entire time. I'm only a few days post op, but I love my results already. I feel great and the recovery is easier than I ever expected.
There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best in this field and if you are considering surgery I would highly recommend him to you.
He has the sweetest nurse ever and his office staff are the best too.
Thank you Dr Hermann!!

Congratulations on taking this step for yourself. How is your post-op recovery going? Do you have any questions for this community?

I'm amazed at how quickly I'm recovering. My surgery was 1 week ago today and I feel like I'm ready to go back to work already. I took two weeks off, but I really feel I could easily return. Of course, it's a desk job.
My Dr did such an excellent job. The results are even better than I expected. He's my new hero!!

My experience

Now that I'm pretty much recovered, I thought I would share my journey.
So, I started eating a clean diet, meaning organic, no dairy or grains, to improve my overall health. A beneficial side effect was a 30 lb weight loss over a period of 6-8 months.
However, due to a c-section, of which I developed scar tissue that adhered to my public bone (or at least that's how it felt) which created an overlap of skin that would not go away even though I had lost 30 lbs. In addition, my abdomen was pooching even after losing weight. And of course I had saggy breast from both weight loss and pregnancy.
And lastly, I had a rather large lipoma that was visible on my inner thigh that I wanted removed. So, I decided it was time to explore a mommy makeover.
I visited 3 different plastic surgeons. Dr Hermann was by far my favorite. He spent the most time with me and I knew he made safety a top priority. Plus, I could tell he was a perfectionist and he has excellent bedside manners.
After his evaluation he told me I was an ideal candidate for both a tummy tuck and breast lift. So, I said sign me up.
Unfortunately I had to move my surgery date a few times because just before my first date my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Reagan, his office manager, was very understanding and accommodated my needs.
So, finally Nov 16th arrived. I thought I would get nervous the days before surgery but surprisingly I didn't. I arrived bright and early to the surgery center. My experience was exceptional, I was in surgery for 7 hrs, it seems like I went to sleep and woke up minutes later all wrapped in binders and drains. For the record, though I know they serve an important purpose, I HATE them. Luckily, I only had them in for two weeks, some people have them a month or more.
I wasn't in any pain at all. In fact, when the nurse said I was good to go I was able to dress myself including putting on my pants.
Once I got home and settled I tried to eat some soup but it just didn't taste good. I just wanted to sleep. I began my pain pills and took them every four hours to stay ahead of the pain and it worked like a charm. My pain was never more than a 4 out 10.
It was challenging going to the bathroom, my bladder and muscles didn't seem to want to work, but that got better with time.
My two lifesavers were a toilet chair with arms and a lift chair. I highly recommend both for anyone having a tummy tuck.
My recovery was easy and virtually pain free. I stopped pain meds on the 5th day and only took one or two when I was too uncomfortable to sleep.
My results are exactly what I wanted. Dr Hermann nailed it. I think he has a gift and I'm so happy I found him. I wouldn't change one thing.
