Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift/augmentation

I had been considering these procedures for about 10 years but wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to have anymore babies. I’m 37 with 2 children aged 12 and 14.
I found Chris online, checked his credentials and ultimately chose him as my surgeon as I personally knew someone who he had operated on.
The consultation was thorough and he was extremely professional. I was realistic about what could be done in terms of my stretch marks (they’re quite high up). Chris did a muscle repair (brought my abs back together) and a full tummy tuck. Because I breastfed my boobs had lost volume and were saggy so I also opted to have a breast lift with implants as well.
I spent 2 nights in hospital with round the clock care from the amazing nurses and Chris came in each morning to check everything was looking good. The recovery process is HARD and I found it difficult to not be active as I’m a dance teacher and at one point I did question my life’s choices. However, coming out the other side I have absolutely no regrets. Chris has done a great job and while I still have visible stretch marks (which I knew I would), the excess skin is gone and my tummy is flat again. My scars are below my underwear line and I finally felt ok to wear a bikini this summer which I haven’t done since before my first baby. My clothes fit nicer and I’m getting my ab definition back slowly.
I love my new boobs, they look completely natural and you would never know that I had a lift and implants. I chose to have round implants which he placed under the muscle.
I only took 1 week off work (my day job) which, even though it is mostly desk based, was a stupid thing to do as I couldn’t even stand upright. Looking back I should’ve taken at least 3 weeks off. In terms of getting back to dancing, I went back to 1 class after 7 weeks and it was too much. Everything felt tight and awkward and I still couldn’t move freely 100%.
My post op care was great, I had appointment’s 1 week, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after the surgery. I did get an infection at 5 weeks which was unrelated to the surgery. I had an ingrown hair (I got waxed prior to surgery) close to my tummy incision which i didn’t pick up straight away as I had no feeling there. When I did realise I called his office and I was seen the same day and given antibiotics.
I had also looked at going overseas for my surgery BUT I wanted to be sure I was in safe hands and didn’t want to risk something going wrong in another country.
Chris has done a phenomenal job on my new body and I highly recommend him to anyone who is considering these procedures. It has been life changing for me!
