WORTH IT
I wanted to do a testimony for Dr. Earl. This isn't easy for me because of the canvas I had to work with. My body is very complex. You see I didn't come in asking for a big butt- what I wanted was normalcy or as close to that as I could get. I grew up with scoliosis with a 75% curvature at the age of 27. I first noticed it as a teenager.... It only grew worse as time went on. After a car accident in 2015- I was required to have back surgery. T4 - L5. That was when my journey began. I had to rebuild the muscle in my core. Years of pain and therapy, seeing chiropractors, doctors, physical therapists. I even had to change my career because I could no longer do what paid my bills. After regaining strength.... A friend of mine explained to me what diastasis recti was. That was when I decided to pursue plastic surgery in hopes of fixing the bulge in my abdominal wall that came from scoliosis, and 5 kids. The surgeon I had at the time.... Explained to me that after he opened up my body, He was unable to make out what he saw. He described my abdominal wall like a bowl of spaghetti. He said to me that he had to untangle muscles from my ribcage.... And that my muscle tissue was so thin and damaged that he couldn't do much lipo in the area because he had to dedicate the time to suturing me properly to fix my abdominal wall. This was a very skilled surgeon who had done thousands of TT'S - But said when he saw my body he had never seen anything like it. When it was all said and done I had a dog ear. He made an attempt to fix it with an outpatient visit... Below you will see what I was left with. He does not specialize in bbls or perform them at all. His next attempt was to put me under and do back lipo to try to fix it.... But that didn't sit right in my heart. I didnt want to be cut again and I wasnt confident about his pursue to lipo my back and see if it works. That began my journey to find a good doctor who could help me. I searched and searched in my own state. The talent doesn't exist here. Not what I needed. And then I came to Dr. Earl Alexander. THE GOAT. I am a woman of faith and I prayed to find this man- and his talent. I'm in tears now as I text this. I was in tears when I saw my body out of surgery and every day since, when I look in the mirror and see the change. I hope you all can see why. To live with a deformity isn't easy and to speak about but to now see what I have been given is something I am so abundantly grateful for. Doctor Earl- you have seriously filled my heart with so much joy and given me back my confidence. I am so in awe of your work and talent. Thank you a million times over for what you've done. There aren't enough words to tell you how happy I am. I did a bbl with lipo 360- I'm 42 and this body has has birthed and nursed 5 kids, back surgery, a full BA lift and tt. below you will see what my hip looked like before with my arm next to it. My hips are still very uneven due to curvature but now, I have something I can look at and be proud of and he went above and beyond what I asked for.
