I'm giving this review only 10-days post op, so I full expect this will not be the final form of my review. I want to star documenting now, however, so I don't lose track of the day-to-day.
I selected Dr Jennifer Greer, Mentor, OH for my mastopexy (breast lift) with implants, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). I have wanted to improve the appearance of my breasts from a very young age, due to unevenness, undesirable shape and small size. By the time I reached my early 40s, and after having two kids, the sagging made me dislike their appearance even more.
After spending some time focusing on health, working out and dropping some weight, I finally felt I was deserving of plastic surgery to improve how I felt about myself. I also decided to explore the option of getting a tummy tuck at the same time. I invested a ton of time into researching these procedures, listened to podcasts, read reviews, and ultimately decided that a diastasis repair and skin removal would not only improve my appearance, but would likely help improve my core strength and hopefully even help with bladder leakage.
I met with two surgeons in my area. Dr Greer stood out because she listened to what I wanted (rather than telling me what I should want) and made me feel so comfortable. She is extremely knowledgeable. (Check her out on TikTok and Instagram... Tons of helpful information in her videos).
In preparation for surgery, I really focused on strength training and optimizing my health. By the day of surgery I was at a comfortable weight (for me) and felt as prepared as I ever would be.
Surgery went fine (4 1/2-ish hours). I was given a patch to put behind my ear to prevent nausea. Moving around immediately after surgery is seriously no joke! I got home and spent the evening in my recliner and let my family take care of me. As long as I was't moving, I wasn't in pain. I took one oxy to sleep that night, and never needed one after.
Over the next two-three days I started to figure out how to get around without help. The pain was very well managed. The only really painful moments have been coughing/sneezing.
Fast forward to day 8 and I was able to shower alone (after we rigged up my drain) and got out of the house a few times that weekend. My incisions are all healing nicely. I can' wait to see my belly button once the gauze and tape falls off.
I am amazed at how the healing process has been and am loving my new figure so far!! I truly can't say enough about Dr Greer and her team. I look forward to updating this review when I'm all healed!

This just gets better!

I’m 23 days post op today. I am so pleased with the recovery process and my results are phenomenal! I bought this bathing suit 10+ years ago, just to have the top to wear under tanks, etc. Never in a million years did I believe my post baby body would wear this alone. It is amazing and I think Dr Greer is outstanding!

At 8 weeks post op, my scars are healing well and swelling is significantly improved.
I’m thrilled with my tummy tuck. My implants are still sitting high, so I’m anxious to speak with my surgeon next month to discuss. I’m very pleased, just hoping the implants will settle under the pectoral muscles in the coming month.
