Breast Reduction/lift, Tummy Tuck/ Liposuction at Age 47 - Erie, PA

First let me explain to you I dont candy coat stuff, I shoot form the hip and what you get from me, is exactly how I see it. I am not a small framed gal, although carrying around 40DD breasts that had long seen the " perky" part of life, not to mention the pain in my back and chest muscles were starting to wear on me significantly. I made an appointment to see Dr. Heaney. I met some of his staff reviewed his photo album of before and after pics and of course was wondering, how I would look and just how bad this was going to hurt. He came in and examined me and asked what my expectations were ( and me, being so straight forward type of person said) I want "LESS and back where they belong" and with a genuine smile, said, I can do that. Then he said, want me to fix your belly?...... Uh well I was at that point wondering what was "wrong" with my belly he explained that my stomach muscles had split and no amount of sit ups was going to put them back together. We discussed that procedure and cost. I paid cash for my procedure as my insurance deductible was / is so high. Upon arriving at the surgical center i was treated with respect and the professionalism there was very apparent. After surgery I awoke well bandaged and in minimal pain( yes that was a serious concern for me). As typical for the surgery I had, I had drains placed in both breasts and drains in my hips, that were removed in office at about a week for breasts and 2 weeks for hips. As I type this I am 22 days post op, and can honestly tell you I only used the prescribed pain meds for about 7 days. I am healing very well as I showered with dial antibacterial soap, and used a hair dryer on cool to dry my incisions, I stayed hydrated and got up and walked when I could and rested when I should. Dr. Heaney is very skilled, very realistic and you must also be realistic when considering surgery of any type. I am very pleased to say that my breasts are much lighter and back in a " normal " place vs hanging past my elbows, my tummy although still swollen( mind you I'm just 22 days out) is considerably flatter. I watched a lot of you tube videos, I saw how the procedures were preformed( DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR SELF) If you choose Dr. Heaney to do your procedure, you will be given honest expectations and I believe he gives you the very best outcome with what he has to work with (you). I am very pleased at my choice to have Dr. Heaney and his staff do my surgery. I am just a little over 3 weeks out of surgery and am very pleased with my results. Its only going to get better from here on out!
