The incredible results of my very extensive...
The incredible results of my very extensive Abdominalplasty are nothing less than phenomenal. Dr. Baker is truly my hero! I wanted a doctor who was/is kind, compassionate, thoughtful, knowledgable, skilled, Confident and experienced. I wanted the best! I got the best!
I was aware of Grossman Plastic Surgery through reputation and chose to consult with Dr. Baker, honestly because I felt like he looked kind on the website-I know that sounds crazy, but for those who are considering this type of surgery, you know that a little empathy goes a long way! My initial consultation consisted of tremendous emotion. I beamed discussing the efforts I had made to better my overall health, I cried while sharing intimate details of how my stomach area affected my relationship with my husband, confidence, mobility and self-worth. I also found myself apologizing that no matter how hard I tried (exercising and eating well) I just couldn't get rid of my "napkin holder"-I'm sure we all tons of names for our "BIF"-see one more. I won't go into how conflicted and self absorbed I felt crying "over my stomach". So here is where all of the real praise begins: When I left my consultation that day, Dr. Baker had made me feel good about myself- not the me that could be, but me. He thoughtfully addressed the physical aspects of my stomach area (never being suggestive or pointing out other areas) and just as important, he validated my emotions. As my husband was a integral piece of all this, Dr. Baker offered a second consultation with both myself and my husband. Needless to say, here we are 4 weeks post-op! Trying so hard not to ramble, but I feel it is so important to chose the right doctor for yourself. I filled the two months prior to my surgery scowering the net for an type of blog related to Abdominalplasty and Tummy Tucks. I found wonderful information on recovery, scarey information that made me want to cancel the surgery. I made lists of things I would need, including stocking up on depends under garments in case I couldn't make it to the bathroom by myself...truly you should see the size of the receipts. Please note these were NOT Dr. Baker's instructions! This was my dooms-day-tummy-tuck-prepping. Gotta love the Internet. I will say that there are several wonderful and funny recovery blog sites out there. In hindsight, Dr. Baker and his staff had totally prepared me and it did not include long receipts. Should have clothes shopped for those months instead of spending my time in the surgical aide section of Walgreens. The day of surgery, I was terrified simply because, well it is surgery. Dr. Baker's intake nurses were exceptional. They treated my family and I with such respect and were so fun which calmed my nerves tremendously. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Kessler, explained in such amazing detail his role in my procedure that I am embarrassed to say that I had no idea how critical their role was. I simply thought they put you to sleep. He gave me yet another layer of confidence that I was in amazing hands. Off to surgery, with the final smile of Dr. Baker. My 48 hour stay in Rose Medical recovery was beyond wonderful. Due to Dr. Baker's techniques and pain management plan, I woke with a little soreness and a little bit too aggressive desire to eat-tomato soup not best choice. The nursing staff was so kind and attentive. I walked first thing in the morning. Dr. Baker uses direct muscle pain management that allowed me to be on minimal narcotics, so I was alert, walking, happy and seriously felt only a little uncomfortable-but never was my pain level above that. The recovery suite felt like a little spa retreat (I know that sounds crazy but it was so beautiful and with a private chef-I certainly felt like a queen). I was actually a little overwhelmed at how special I felt, but my husband kept reminding me of how hard I had worked to deserve this. Dr. Baker saw me several time during my stay and each time I felt so excited to show off how great I was doing. He was so genuinely happy for me. I now laugh because I think these are the results he always gets, but I am convinced I am his Mona Lisa. Without going into every actual recovery detail, I would rather answer a couple of questions. Am I thrilled that I did the surgery? Yes. Would I do it again? Only if Dr. Matthew Baker is my surgeon!
