I Am 42 and Look and Feel Better Than I Ever Have!

Thanks to Dr. Courtney I have a new body that I love! About twenty years ago I had a few colorectal surgeries that left big, ugly scars. Later, in my 30s, I had three giant babies and nursed them on-demand (wherever, whenever) until each turned 2 and a half. I also gained and lost a lot of weight. By the time I turned 40 I was at a normal BMI and not nursing or pregnant and couldn't hide my body behind a baby carrier anymore. I was working out and eating well but hated how I looked naked and dreaded wearing a bathing suit. My breasts were super long and flat and deflated and pendulous and I had all this loose skin and unmissable scars on my belly. At that time, I had just resolved to live in that body. Then I got into a car accident and developed neck pain which was worse whenever I didn't wear an industrial strength bra. I even had to wear one to sleep and couldn't just lounge around my house braless. I decided to see a surgeon about a breast reduction because I couldn't stand the way my breasts aggravated my neck issues. He was a jerk and made me feel terrible about my body, especially my stomach. He poked at the loose skin that hung over where my colostomy bag used to be and frowned like it was the grossest thing he had ever seen. I left in tears and then called a friend who had had her breasts done. She told me to call the ACPS and raved about her experience. I looked through the bios of all the doctors and read the reviews and then chose Dr. Courtney. I love that the prices are listed on the site. I couldn't be happier with my decision! I ended up getting a tummy tuck and a breast lift because it was so much more affordable than I expected, and I read that strengthening my core would also help with my neck issues. My neck isn't 100% better but it is remarkably improved. I saw my chiropractor today and she felt a notable difference. It still hurts but I don't have to wear an underwire bra to sleep the way I did after the accident. My main goal was to resolve my neck issues, but loving the way I look naked now is another happy result! Dr. Courtney is very meticulous and precise. He takes his time to really listen to what you want and explains everything. I just love the way I look now and can't believe I am looking at the same body I have hated for decades. Even more importantly, I love the way I feel. It really made a difference with regard to the neck issues with which I had been struggling since the accident. Dr. Courtney's post-op care is also top-notch. I have emailed his assistant Evelyn multiple times to check in and let her know something is bothering me or to ask a question and she always answers me right away. I had to call Dr. Courtney's service the Sunday night after surgery because I suddenly developed intense rectal pain and I thought it was related to my surgery but it wasn't. Even still, he was very patient and explained the surgery again to me and what he did, and he didn't seem to mind that I called on a Sunday night. A few days ago at his office a nurse took most of the stitches out and I am healing well. Even though I only made the decision because my neck was bothering me so much, I am thrilled with the aesthetic outcome and the pain relief benefits. I was worried that my sisters and mom would be judgmental and critical because they are not the type of people to condone plastic surgery but when I sent them the before and after pictures to let them know they were floored, and now my oldest sister wants to get work done. My husband's reaction was the best! He stares at me when I get out of the shower and says things like, "I can't believe I am looking at my wife!" He loves my new body and the confidence I have now. Thank you, Dr. Courtney!
