I Only Wish I Had Done This Sooner! - Omaha, NE

WORTH IT$10,000
I am 59 years old and felt I was probably too old to have a breast lift that I had been considering for many years. With the encouragement of my daughter I found Aesthetic Surgical Images in Omaha. From the moment my husband and I met Dr. Bruneteau, we knew we had chosen the right clinic and dr. Dr. Bruneteau assured me that I wasn't too old and made me feel very comfortable with what I had chosen to have done. I had a Mommy Makeover, which included breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction of the hips and buttocks. I'll be very honest---there were rough moments. The first week was pretty difficult. I really did need my husband's help for almost everything. We live 4 hours from Omaha, so we had alot of travel back and forth. I have difficulty with pain medication, so I only took those for about 3 days. The liposuction was the most painful in the beginning, however that heals fairly quickly. Probably the hardest part for me was sleeping on my back, since I am a stomach sleeper! The drains from the tummy tuck a nuisance, but were gone by the end of the 2nd week and I felt so much better when they were both removed! That's the negative---now the POSITIVE! My surgery was 5 weeks ago and I can't believe the results! The breast lift was easy! Very little pain there and I am so pleased with the results! I still have a few scabs that are still healing. My tummy is so flat and my shape has definitely improved! I'm still in the beginning stages of healing, but I am so glad I had the surgery. It was definitely worth it!!!

Dr. Bruneteau made me feel comfortable and confident from the moment my husband and I first met with him. He is personable and very professional. He has always taken the time to answer my questions and give me the personal attention necessary. He explained my procedures in terms that were very understandable. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery thus far. I am 5 weeks post-op and I am already excited about the results! I had been considering surgery for quite some time and only wish I had done it sooner! I would highly recommend Dr. Bruneteau to anyone considering plastic surgery! I my book---He is the BEST!!! Dr. Bruneteau's staff is also outstanding. From the receptionists to nurses in both surgery and in the office, they are all fantastic. We live several hours from Omaha and the staff has been so willing to work with us on scheduling appointments! My husband commented that they are always smiling and make you feel so welcome! Betsy, the PA is also very caring and kind!

thank you for sharing. do you have before and after pics?
I haven't had any after pictures taken yet, as I still have some incisions are alittle "scabby".
Congratulations I love reading posts from women in there 40s and 50s doing this! Age is only a number and if it makes us feel better I say go for it! I am 47 soon to be 48 and I go for my surgery May 28th.!
Loved hearing your positive/negative feelings about the entire process! I am 9 weeks post op and feel great, but I did go through a setback early on. Am now 80% back to Zumba, starting to get back to the gym and doing my 2nd 5K since surgery..although not completely running..walking fast/jogging but we all have to start somewhere! Happy healing!
Thanks so much for sharing! Please keep us posted as you continue to heal.
