Reverse Tummy Tuck- He Isn’t a Cookie Cutter Cosmetic Surgeon

Dr Cook did such an amazing job on my reverse tummy tuck! For years I have wanted to tighten my abdominal skin but didn’t want the huge scar across my waist. I am a competitive bodybuilder and I think the scar would impact my placing. I also didn’t have so much loose skin to justify being cut the typical tummy tuck way. I went to several surgeons for consultations and they told me the operation I wanted didn’t exist. Upon my consultation with Dr. Cook, he informed me that he could execute the procedure and that I was a good candidate. I appreciate that he was honest with me by telling me it would be a difficult recovery. I especially liked that he isn’t a cookie cutter cosmetic surgeon. He spent so much time with me because he wanted to understand my expectations and provide my desired outcome. He hit the mail on the head and I couldn’t be happier. I have waited for this surgery for so long. I am so happy I found Dr. Cook! Finally, the staff at Sanctuary Plastic surgery are incredibly positive and uplifting. Everyone working there is invested in the well-being of the patient.

I gained some weight after the surgery. I have been working too come back to my typical body fat percentage so that I could take these pictures and get accurate representation of Dr. Cook’s work. The swelling is gone. There are some areas that still have bruising but I think it will go away in time. To be completely honest, I didn’t adhere to the Massage schedule as much as I should have. This is why I think I still have bruising. Overall I am so incredibly happy. Before the surgery, I felt like no matter what I did, my stomach was out of shape. It was annoying that my dedication and work wasn’t represented in my body because of the loose skin on my midsection. I would have to get down to an unattainable body fat percentage just to see my abs and I was constantly picking myself apart. I’m about 19% BF. This is a healthy number for a woman and I feel really good with how I look. I have more freedom to enjoy life. Thank you Dr. Cook!

The neat thing about the surgery is the ability to hide the scars. The 2 biggest scars are hidden under the breast. The other scars are from the liposuction and the scars are just dots. Unfortunately, my husband was injured soon after my surgery and I was unable to make it to the laser scar treatment appointments.
