I've waited a long time to pluck up the courage and for it to be the right time in my life to be able to do this . My main worry apart from waking up during surgery, not waking up after , dying and leaving my kids all in the pursuit of having my nice stomach back and not the one I've had for the last nine years that reminded me of a wrinkled old man faced just suck there . Was finding the right surgeon to do it . Well I can save you ladies lots of time , effort and possibly money . Mr marando is simply the best. I know myself I wasn't the worst case in the world but it bothered me daily how different and old looking my middle section looked in comparison to the rest of my body. I'd seen one surgeon before mr marando and was in his office no longer than 5 minutes And then dismissed ,he told me to wait 10 years .. And it couldn't be done now . I left his office feeling tearful . I think my mum and husband at that point felt relieved. But I said I wanted a second opinion and if that surgeon says the same then that's it .. I will let it go . Mr marando had been mentioned to me by a family member. I'd booked to see him last November and like most people who meet him ,knew it had to be him or no one . He said I was a candidate for a tummy tuck and gave me all the advice on the procedure good and bad . He listened and was so polite and I never felt rushed for one minute. I felt elated. Due to different things happening in my life I've just done the surgery now . I am 8 days post op and I'm so happy that I did it. I have been blessed with an amazing family who have looked after my children and supported me through this even though I know they were so worried about me having it . My kids and hubby have been fantastic. I'm a very lucky woman.
Mr Marando and his lovely kind secretary martina have been brilliant from the start.
If I or any friend or family member ever needed anything done in the future I would not hesitate to recommend him . Professional, caring ,polite and easy to talk to . I'm a perfectionist and was so worried about the end result not looking like I had imagined it to be . But I'm happy with the results so for and as I say I'm only 8 days po , so sorness and some swelling is there. My scar is neat and low , with a nice little belly button, just what I asked for . Good luck ladies.

Hi, congratulations on your surgery, I hope your recovery is going well, will you be posting any before and after photos as I'm interested in using this surgeon
October 6, 2016
Hi, to be honest I wasn't planning on doing photos as I'm quite a private person. All I can say is that I really don't think you'll be disappointed with him. In the consultation he'll show you before and after pics of people who are closest to your frame. Hope this helps

Thanks so much for posting this review, I am due for a TT with Mr Marando on 7th November so the nerves and 'what if it all goes wrong' feelings are just starting to kick in!

I know exactly what you mean about his attitude and personality, I have already recommended him to friends and family - I just need the results to back me up *fingers crossed*.

Good luck with your continued healing, I hope the end result is everything you hoped for xx

Hi, you'll be fine, none of it is as bad as what your mind is telling you it's going to be. The op , the recovery, everything. I'm a perfectionist and thought no one would meet my high standards but mr Marando has. I'm 4 weeks po and really pleased with it all, once it's done, you'll be elated, so get your bikini ready,, best of luck xx

All the best for tomorrow, you'll be fine x
