Let me start by saying that I hate doctors in general. I've worked for plenty and they are mostly full of shit jerks. I can only say FANTASTIC things about Dr. Lynam and his staff. He was not the only Doc I had consultations with. In fact, he was 3/5. Not only did he speak to me with candor, he treated his assistant with respect during the evaluation. It speaks volumes when male surgeon values his female staff. I can assure you that this is not the norm in medicine. Day of surgery, he was lighthearted but business focused as he drew his master plan on my body, verbally walking me through the procedures. The after care has exceeded my expectations. I feel welcomed, valued, and never rushed during follow up appointments. And the results . Oh the grand results! The practice is named Richmond Surgical Arts - and for good reason ! Dr. Lynam transformed my breasts and abdomen into an aesthetic pleasantry, instead of the Monet (good from far, but far from good) I have been living with for nearly the past two decades. Special accolades to his staff- Kari, Brigitte, Liz, Elizabeth and numerous others. They are warm, professional, knowledgable and have accommodated any needs and requests I have had. If you are questioning which doctor to choose for your procedure, you will NOT regret the results and care you receive from Dr. Gregory Lynam and his team at Richmond Surgical Arts.

I spent the greater part of my life after having...

I spent the greater part of my life after having my child at age 17 feeling like a fraud. With any compliment I would receive, I secretly knew what was under my clothes. I was a stealth and inventive master of disguise camouflaging what can best be described as "front butt." That's right, friends, my stomach had a deep vertical cleft from muscle separation, deep stretch marks from my pubic bone up to about 6 inches above my navel, which lent themselves to appearing like cellulite when joining the enormous amount of extra skin and uneven fat distribution. Before Spanx was a thing, I would wear a one piece bathing suit for compression under my clothes. I even wore a girdle to my senior prom. Breastfeeding left my chest lopsided by more than a cup size. I would sew a shoulder pad in the cup of my bra to make it appear even. I was just a kid, with a kid of my own, with a body decades older than my years . I felt like "used goods" which in turn attracted mates who treated me the same way as I grew up. Intimacy, physical and emotional , was tough . Oftentimes, though irrational, I believed I was being punished for being a teenage mother. I have dreamed, planned, and researched this procedure for 17 years.

Awww, I'm so sorry you felt that way for so long! I hope you can let go of those negative feelings and have a fresh start! You're an amazing person! Congratulations on your transformation!
Thank you for your kind words.
You look great! I am scheduled with same doc Nov10th. I will be following your journey. If you don't mind what was your HT Wt?
5'2" and 140. I lost only two pounds from the surgery, but it looks like 25!
well you definitely deserve this.....you look great and must feel like you've been released from a personal prison. I know it has lifted my sense of self worth alot too:) Thank god we even have the opportunity to do this.
Thank you ! I am so grateful for the opportunity and financial ability . And ultimately for good health that allowed me to have this invasive procedure in the first place. As for the "personal prison " I agree. The surgery changed my outside, and now I am working on my inner dialogue and personal relationship with my own body. This aspect is not discussed frequently on this site
True it's not...it's a lot easier to work on the inner when the outer doesn't look like a train wreck though. ;-) I have just be infinitely happier since doing this and wanting to be social instead of always hiding! That feels nice.
Amen. Appreciate the wise words and encouragement!
Wow, thank you for sharing your story and now your journey. I was also a teen Mum and was left feeling the same as you. I am now 39yrs old and have 3 kids in total ranging from 21yrs old down to 2years old. My husband would love to have another but I want my body back. Like you I have hidden my secret body from everyone including my husband as much as possible. I dare not want to be seen in a swim suite nor do I wear tight fitting clothing. I have wanted myself back for 21 years now. I am fit and healthy but unfortunately my body does not show it with the extra skin on my belly and my sagging breasts. All the best with the new you.
hi I'm glad you had great results but you definitely scared me when you said killer that's scary when talking about a surgeon but you look awesome. Is that iodine on the skin or what is causing the greening around your incisions?

Thanks
