Still in disbelief 1 month post-op tummy tuck - is this really me?

I have spent nearly my entire life self conscious of my stomach. It’s genetic on both sides of my family to carry weight predominantly in the mid-section of my body. After also having had twins that I carried to 36 weeks who were both nearly 7lbs, there was nothing I could do to get my body 1) back to ‘normal’ and 2) in the shape I have always hoped I would be in my 40s. I decided it was time to get help and started to book consultations. Dr. Campbell was my 3rd consult and it was a very easy decision after meeting him. His experience and expertise is easily confirmed just by looking through his web profiles and the other reviews but meeting him in person is what really gave me the certainty I had found the right doctor. He is kind, genuine, science-based in his approach (should there be any other?) and exemplified everything I had read about being a master plastic surgeon. Within seconds of seeing what I had described as my problem area, he knew exactly what I meant and how to help me. Obviously he has done tons of these procedures but he just had a way of looking at this as a problem to be solved with precision and craft and I felt like I was in such good hands. That feeling just cannot be underestimated when it comes to a decision like this. You have to feel that or else it is just not going to be the right path.

I am 4 weeks post-op. Before (left) in this photo was about a month before the surgery. The after shot is exactly 4 weeks and 4 days. I’m still recovering and have tons of swelling but still you can see what an incredible job Dr Campbell did. He really listened to what I was hoping to achieve and, combining that with a strong understanding of the female aesthetic, targeted all of the areas of concern perfectly. He’s really gifted in his trade, both in his skill and his care. Cannot go wrong with this doctor.
