Amazing Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair Experience

Had my 3 month post op and so so happy with the results. Dr Ahmad created the cutest belly button and the lowest scar. He did abdominal lipo in all the right places. In particular under my bust which has given the illusion of a lift as well. Best decision I made ( despite it being super scary for me having never gone under or had any surgery). I’m so happy!

I just had my Tummy Tuck ( literally a day ago January 6 2021) at the Plastic Surgery Clinic. I have wanted a tummy tuck since I had my first baby 8 years ago, and in September when I stopped nursing my last baby I started my search for a board certified plastic surgeon more seriously. In September 2020 I met with 3 different board certified doctors - one in Yorkville, Oakville, and of course Port Credit - Dr. Lista. I was looking for a doctor with 1) great reviews 2) focused on research and always improving their practices - such as a drainless tummy tuck 3) a doctor I knew other patients had used and had a positive experience 4) Reccos on top plastic surgeons from people in my network that worked in the cosmetic industry. Upon meeting Dr. Lista he advised of Dr. Ahmad and his role in the procedure - he is also the Director of research at the clinic. I have never had any form of surgery ( my wisdom teeth grew in perfectly, so the concept of being put under sounded scary/ foreign).  On the day of my surgery I met Dr. Ahmad who was so kind and reinforced that he could tell I worked out and where he would tighten the muscle, do lipo, and pull the skin so my hard work would be finally visible. I strength training 4 days a week and spin 2 times a week. Then Dr. Lista came in and had such positive energy on how this all will go so great. My procedure was smooth ( or it was for me) one minute I’m talking to the anesthesiologist in the OR, the next I travelled time and ended up in recovery with a wonderful nurse named Julia. I had 0 pain ( they have you on a pain pump for 24 hours), and a cycle of anti inflammatory meds, arnica pills, tynelol, and laxatives post surgery. Dr. Ahmad took the time to call and check-in when I returned home and reinforced to stay hydrated and walk 10 steps each hour. He has a very calming demeanour and wonderful bedside manner ( like everyone at this clinic it feels).  Today I had my first post op and met another wonderful nurse named Lori, although the stitches on the belly button and hip are not so pretty right now, my tummy looked great! I can’t wait to see it when everything is actually healed. My husband was like dayum your stomach is so flat, I want this procedure too lol. All jokes aside, I’m glad I trusted my gut, and went with this clinic. Despite the fact I’m walking hunched over and on bed rest with hourly ten step walks, I’m so happy I did it. This felt way easier then how I felt post delivering my babies - and I had natural births. Also it feels like a staycation as my mom, mil and husband will be taking care of everything at home for the next 2-3 weeks.  So if you are contemplating this procedure look no further than the plastic surgery clinic! I’m now wondering what I can do next at this clinic - MD beauty here I come! I’ll post pictures in the future as I think every mama deserves her body back.
