The before and after is remarkable

ORIGINAL POST

I Had a Tummy Tuck, Lipo 360 and Arm Lipo

I had diastasis recti (abdominal separation of the transverse abdominal muscles) which caused back pain, loose skin from pregnancy as well as new love handles and arms that made me feel self-conscious. After my younger sister, a nurse practitioner, booked with Dr Gonzales and I saw her results, then my mom’s as well (yep we have a family punch card here) I booked with full confidence that this procedure would change my life. I’m not a tiny woman. I’m 5’9 and wore a size 12/14 despite consistency with workouts and nutrition. Today I’m six weeks post-op with still have swelling but the before and after is remarkable. My belly button is perfection. The way my love handles were liposuctioned helped create a new hour glass figure that I haven’t seen since before kids (except I look better).

I felt safe with Dr Gonzalez and I trusted him. Initially I was nervous about the “Twilight Sedation” where you’re sedated during the procedure. This method is less risky and has less side effects than general anesthesia. I may as well had had anesthesia because it occurred for me as the same.

I know I could get these result by a more well known branded doctors in the valley and paid three times as much (I got a quote).

Know it’s still was an investment and one I don’t regret. I’m almost finished with my divorce and though dating in my 40’s isn’t something I’m looking forward too, I get to do it feeling confident about my body.

When my sister and I stand side by side and compare our tummy tuck, our scar and the positioning look almost the same. This tells me Dr Gonzalez is consistent. He produces extraordinary results with attention to detail every time.

I’m so glad my sister was referred by a friend of a friend with an impressive after photo shared via text. I know it’s difficult to choose your surgeon with so many options. Look for someone with consistent results and someone who you feel cares about you as a person. I never felt like a number and I felt Dr Gonzalez was invested in my results too. He seems to love what he does. Thank you Dr. Gonzalez .

Did you have your tummy tuck and arm lift at the same time? How was the pain and how was it getting around after not being able to lift yourself well?

I had arm lipo, no lift. It was a rough recovery. I was sore and tired. The pain was tolerable. I bought a recliner that lifted me to standing, which helped. I only used Tylenol and Ibuprofen. If you can, I’d take at least 10 days off from work.

Thank you for your feedback. I plan to take a few weeks off after.
