67 Year Old Female Tummy Tuck Patient Now Wearing Size 4 Slacks! - Melbourne, FL

I am very happy I had this surgery done. I am a 67 year-old female who suffered pain from existing scars, particularly abdominal bowel surgery 3 years ago. I met Dr. Adam Oppenheimer 1 year ago and was directed to him for advice regarding my stomach scar pain. I was unable to button my slacks without sharp and annoying pain at my belly button area. I could not wear a belt without soft cotton cloths tucked in at my waist.

Dr. Oppenheimer first recommended a scar cream which I used to no avail. In early October he injected 8 shots in the area which did make me feel better for a while. He inserted a second set of shots one month later. This helped enough that I was more comfortable for a few months.

In April of this year I started asking about abdominal surgery; a tummy tuck in my lower abdomen. Dr. Oppenheimer was very patient with my decision process and we finally set the surgery date to June 23, 2014 at the Apollo Surgery Center.
