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

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 fantastic happy for you.
Thank you so much :) It's been a long time coming !
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!
Thank you so much :)
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 :)
Wow !! You look awesome. You can't be 57?? I am so happy for you and I'm sure like you thank god I seen Dr Ho :) Well done xx
Thank you gorgeous :) I am most definitately 57 :( I am very happy with my tummy as i had almost given up ever having a flat one . Dr Ho was amazing , such a brilliant surgeon and also a wonderful compassionate man . How lucky are we to have such wonderful result's !!!! :) xx
This looks amazing. You are one lucky lady to be alive, I'm glad you finally have great results. I hope your story makes it to those who are considering overseas for less costs.
Thank you for the lovely comment , i am grateful every day that i came home safely . I hope that other's could read my story before deciding to go overseas for surgery and reconsider .

7 months post op , before and after pics

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?
Hello MMare , it was through MediMakovers .
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 :)
Good luck with your surgery , hope you have a wonderful outcome !
I remember reading your review before your revision with Dr. Ho and I'm so happy for you that you finally have the results that you're happy with!
Thank you ..... i am very happy ! :)
