I am very glad that you found Dr Ho, you must been horrified coming back and no surgeons would help you fix what was messed up overseas

Thank you Sarbear1_2000 ..... yes , so happy to have found Dr Ho . I have not looked back since finding him . Horrifed and disgusted by the lack of compassion and professionalism but like i said .... not looking back !

Almost 12 months since TT

hamra
In March it will be 12 months since i had surgery with Dr Ho to revise a botched up TT . I am finally comfortable in my own skin and even confident enough to wear a bikini . I havent been able to do this since i had my last child 31 yrs ago . I am far from perfect , even far from having a nice body ... but i do have a nice tummy :) I am posting this pic to give other's hope ... dont give up , you can achieve good results at any age , even at 57 and even after being botched up overseas .

You look great! I'm so happy for you that after all you went through overseas Dr. Ho was able to fix you up. I say you have a very nice body now and you look great in that bikini!

Wow, what an ordeal! Thank God you're alive! Thank you, also, for warning about traveling overseas for surgery. I think the risks far outweigh the savings. You look amazing, by the way. You rock that bikini! I would never guess that you're 57. I wouldn't even guess 37!

Thank you so much IvyRose ! I would not encourage anyone to have surgery overseas , it really is just not worth it and so many risk's involved . Thank you for your kind words :)

It is now 7 months since my surgery with Dr Kevin Ho . I am happy with my results and for the first time in over 30 yrs , i can wear anything i want . The pictures that Dr Ho took are very confronting for me and it reminds me how unhappy i was after my first TT , i had almost forgotten just how bad i looked and felt . Pleased to say that Dr Ho performed a completely successful TT revision .

Glad you found a caring surgeon. I can't believe other surgeons turned you down because you had surgery overseas. After care is just as important for a major surgery like a tummy tuck.

Thank you MunchkinB :) Yes , 2 of them turned me away and i was disgusted with them ... really thought about naming and shaming but would rather forget about them .

Hi Hamra, I am so sorry to hear about your experiences and results undergoing surgery overseas. May I ask what company this was through?
October 12, 2014
Hello MMare , it was through MediMakovers .
October 12, 2014
Thanks very much Hamra! I'm flying on 22nd October to have surgery on the 24th. I'm extremely excited but very nervous at the same time. Mine is through a different company - both the surgeon and hospital is very well rated - one can only hope for the best results. Thanks for your quick response ;-)

Good Luck MMare ....wishing you every success with your journey :)
