An Amazing Plastic Surgeon and an Amazing Person That Cares!

WORTH IT$15,000

I am 39 years old and have 2 adorable baby girls both born via c section. After my girls were born, I was left with a huge sagging tummy that looked like a half-deflated yoga ball and huge sagging breasts plus a pretty big abdominal muscle separation. Dr. Rubinstein performed a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast reduction on me and my results are unbelievable. It was a very long journey for me and I took a lot of time to recover just because my body is built that way, but now, after a few years, I am starting to see my final results and I can't be happier! (Sorry for the bad photos, not too good at taking body selfies, but now my body looks like this!)

Dr Rubenstein is the best of the best. I agree. I have not yet had my surgery however I met with Mr Rubenstein Plastic Surgeon and Kimberlei and after an awful experience last year being humiliated by another provider- I felt I was destined to suffer all my life .
If anyone is considering reduction or enhancement, I can say with absolute certainty after doing years of research, to make your appointment, just take that first step you will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to mine and I know what you write is the truth -
ORIGINAL POST

I've been wanting to have this surgery for...

I've been wanting to have this surgery for centuries (well not quite, let's just say years), ever since I was around 22 and I had very beautiful breasts but always thought they were too big for my tiny frame. Also, couldn't get any modelling jobs because I had big breasts so that used to drive me insane. So finally at 34 y/o, after my baby girl was born 8 months ago, my breasts actually tripled in size therefore I had a pretty good excuse to go and get it done. I have been always afraid of it (and I am not a person who is scared of surgical procedures, but always had a phobia for breasts). In saying this here comes my somehow anxiety like attitude towards Dr. Craig but let me tell you: He is The Best!! Do not let the name "Cosmetic Surgery for Women" (which indeed sounds a little shallow right?) full you... he is actually a Plastic Surgeon and he is the BEST in Australia. I have been greatly taken care of, from my first appointment at the clinic up to the Hospital bed where all nurses together with Craig's medical team were simply fantastic. As I said earlier in this comment, my biggest fear was always the pain that I was going to feel right after waking up from the anesthetic.(I think too much I know!) However, all that I felt was like I was waking up from a long nap with absolutely NO pain at all. Maybe just a little discomfort, very minimal, on the sides of breasts where a little bit of liposuction has been performed. But other then that it's just like nothing happened! Well...something did happen actually! I now have gorgeous perfect breasts! (I'll show you photos soon). Also want to mention that after only one night in Hospital my husband drove me straight to Papa Rich to have Malaysian :)) which I think is quite funny for someone who supposedly had to be in so much pain. Yes I was under medication but only panadol. Right now, 2 days after surgery I am at home and I feel perfect. I cannot really hold my baby or do anything really but hey... I've got to let this heal right? - So if any of you girls want this surgery but have an immense fear for it as I did, just... don't. It's really not as bad as you think it may be. ( But of course, like everything else in life - it counts a lot how much research and knowledge you get before you go anywhere.) (sorry for the bad quality of the photos but see the proportions!)

Well done on going through with it after years of contemplation, look forward to supporting you during recovery. Would be keen to see the surgeons before and afters if possible. :)
