After 15 years of considering a tummy tuck, I mustered up the courage to do it. I have always been physically active, but my stomach always looked 3-4 months pregnant. I felt attractive and good in my skin, but this was really about fitting better in my clothes. Met Dr. Maloney and he came across direct and confident. I was eventually ready to commit however, I had more questions then the average patient. The newly constructed belly button was one of them that weighed on my decision. I let go, stopped thinking about all the what ifs, and I did it!! A week out of surgery and damn, I am impressed with the results. I hugged Dr. Maloney and I told him that a kiss of appreciation is coming his way. The entire staff is kind, compassionate, positive, and available. I told Dr. Maloney that this is a one shot elective surgery and I am done. Well... It is kind of like a candy store as he stated.Should I get anything else done, he is THE PLASTIC SURGEON, THE MAN I trust with my body, my temple. Thank you.

Today I met with Dr. Maloney to see if I could get my left drain out. Not yet. That's ok. I like a conservative Dr.! He thoroughly examined me and as I have already mentioned, it all looks well. I had questions and he answered them all with that sense of knowledge and experience. We spoke more about comfort. There were no real concerns to speak of. No rushing, just conversing. My standards are high, very high and I like my Drs. to be present and attentive. Still so utterly impressed with Dr. Maloney and his team!

Did you have your thighs lipo'd as well?

Getting there. Lots of gentle massage with arnica gel. Dr. Maloney says we look at your areas of lipo at the 3 month mark.
