At the age of 42 years, both my husband and I decided that after carrying 5 pregnancies and birthing 4, that it was time for me to restore some of my youth. We live on the coast, so the outdoors is a big part of our life but as I have always been a very small frame, the pregnancies stretched the front of me & left me with hanging skin & deflated boobs, which had me feeling self conscience in warmer seasons.
So I did a lot of research via magazines, referrals & internet and kept coming back to Dr Lim. On 1st meeting him in his Drummoyne office, I felt totally comfortable and at ease with my decision. He was very sensitive to my situation but also totally professional. He made our decision very easy with the information supplied & ease of payment (without
Private Cover) & organisation by his staff. We booked in that day & I waited just 6 weeks for my Op. I am now 8 days post-op and extremely happy with the results already. As I didn't have private health cover, I only stayed in Westmead Private for 2 nights, with Dr Lim checking in on me. I left with 2 drains in tact, which were removed on day 6 with the stitches by his magnificent nurse. My pain has been very minimal. And I will return to his office on day 10 to check the fluid. But over all I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with the service & results provided by Dr Jake Lim & his team. The results are magnificent and scaring looks like it will be minimal. And price was also a huge factor on our decision, which were very competitive, but the end results & service have outweighed the cost by all means! I would recommend his service to anyone!

I'm glad this has been a good experience for you! What would you say has been the hardest part of recovery so far and how have you coped?

Please keep us posted as you continue to heal!

Have to say the hardest was post op day 5. I still had my drains in, which were quite sore and bruised by this stage , and the pain intensified 5 times! I said to my husband, "what kind of fool would put yourself through this!" But I just took a few more painkillers that day, then usual, slept a lot and then by day 6 - the drains were removed and it was total bliss. I haven't looked back since!

Hi,
I am also looking at getting a mummy makeover with Dr Lim. Have had a consultation and am thinking on things at the moment. Can you tell me how big were the implants you got 300 or 325 eg and also I think you mentioned you didn't have health insurance. If you did can you tell me did they cover much of the surgery and hospital cots.
Thanks.

Woke up this morning, feeling the best so far! I'm not sure if it's the endone I took before bed or that I'm healing quickly. It seems the swelling has gone down today. My boobs are no where near as tender as yesterday & my tummy feels good! I seem to be standing up straighter too! I managed to clean the house a bit today too! And now just resting with my legs up. So it does get better. Post op check up tomorrow. Fingers crossed, they don't have to drain any fluid out through a syringe! ???? that just makes me cringe!!
