Pick This Surgeon
Consult- I searched the internet far and wide before choosing to go to Dr. Unger for a consult for a Mommy Makeover. My 40th is fast approaching and this would be my version of a midlife red convertible sports car. After meeting with him for a consult I knew that he understood what I was asking for, what was most important to me and also the things I was nervous about. The price tag was steep, but if you’re going to hack your body up, bargain shopping is not the move. Pay for skill.
Day Of— On the day of surgery I was pretty nervous. His nurse anesthetist was AMAZING. Not only had we chatted prior about my concerns and health history, but she was fabulous the day of and kept me calm as did his OR nurse. Dr Unger also met with me to review the plan and confirmed that he understood what I wanted and what was important to me. Once I was out of the OR I was actually surprisingly awake. I had a gingerale and once all was stable, my husband drove me home and I was wide awake— and nausea free! Thank you, anesthesia goddess! Once home, I thought I’d sleep. I did not. I was awake watching shows, but the discomfort did start to set in as the day wore on. I’m not a fan of pain meds, but I needed them. I did 2 c sections with no post op pain meds, but plastics aren’t for wussies. The recovery process required meds. Take the meds. They give them because you WILL need them.
Recovery—the drains were very annoying to me, but I knew their purpose and got through those. First one was pulled at Day 6 post op and the second on Day 8. That was a glorious day! I used a walker for the first week after surgery and it was THE BEST THING. I was off the pain meds after probably 4 days and didn’t use the full RX, but I did need them and that surprised me bc I feel like I’m pretty tough. The first week was weird, it’s all a bit blurry and I definitely felt a post anesthesia fog. Pain-wise it was a struggle to get around and stay comfortable for the first two weeks. By week 3 I felt so much better and by week 4 I was doing a lot more than I could previously. My boobs really didn’t bother me much at all, almost all of my discomfort was related to the tummy tuck/lipo.
Post-Op: I’m 6 weeks out today and my results are FANTASTIC! My stomach is FLAT. It’s never been flat in my life and that’s so amazing to feel and supposedly it’ll look even better over the next few weeks! My boobs look like what I had before these kids ruined my bod and are exactly what I asked for! I was a size 2 at my consult (after 15-20lbs of weight loss) and I’m still a size 2 but the waist is a bit looser. I’m writing this because I feel bad that I’m not brave enough to consent to him posting my pics to his website, but he did amazing work and I feel more confident in my body today than I ever have in my life! Thank you, Dr Unger! I’ll see you for a facelift during my next midlife crisis!
