Amazing Tummy Tuck Experience

WORTH IT
When covid 19 began, I bought myself a treadmill and began running in the early mornings for 5 km, 5 mornings a week.( I was an athlete and sportsperson in my youth). Decided it was time to get really fit, despite surfing, swimming, camping, hiking, biking and riding with our children, I knew I still wasn’t very fit. After doing this for two years, I was fit, and had knocked off a few kilos but I could see the love handles, the baby tummy and the wobbly thighs were never going to disappear even with all my efforts.
I love the feeling of putting on clothes when they hang well. No time to bother with ill fitting clothing. Wanted to walk/run without the feel of loose skin/fat jumping up and down on my body.
I outlined my main concern to Dr Choy; that being that I wanted great legs and I was frustrated with my wobbly thighs and legs despite strong, toned muscle underlying the “middle life weight that won’t budge no matter what!”.
Dr Choy is an empathetic, caring and approachable physician who listens with intent to his patient’s body concerns. He understood my wishes and after assessing my physicality, explained that loose , stretched skin was what I was feeling rather than enough extra weight ie not enough extra weight to warrant a thigh reduction/liposuction and the resultant visible scarring. His expertise, experience and knowledge was conveyed through his assurance that a tummy tuck would achieve similar, if not better results than the thigh reduction/liposuction and simultaneously successfully removing unwanted “baby body” abdomen and torso stretched skin and fat layers. I found this very appealing as well for the fact that the middle weight gain of mid-life reduces health outcomes with extra strain on the organs.
Every member of Dr Choy’s team, from the office to the surgical rooms to the post care in Baringa hospital and community nurses at home, were friendly, confident, competent, professional and caring. I felt well attended, well-assured and relaxed in the knowledge I was in excellent hands for surgery. Dr Choy is indeed an artist in his field. He possesses a natural understanding of aesthetics and proportion and this combined with his superior interpersonal skills and empathetic personality ensures him as a leader in enhancement surgery.
I absolutely am loving pulling my clothes on and doing up the button on the waists with ease and room to spare!! My clothes fit perfectly, which is something at my point in life does not happen via the natural process. I figure, we don’t have to look old or dumpy any more as we age, so why not just take advantage of the new technologies if we can! I have worked hard all my life and now I am taking a little bit back for myself (and my vanity, I can’t deny).
I am loving running without the jigging of weight around my middle and I can sense I will be able to run for longer and faster in the near future. I am already back to my run rate prior to surgery, six weeks ago.
We are having a cool summer so far, but I know I will feel internally cooler in the summer months without the extra insulation! Good for hot flushes if they ever come! (Maybe not!!:)
I can’t recommend Dr Choy highly enough.

You look great! Can you explain to me a little more about the thigh reduction? Did having a tummy tuck did your thighs somehow firm up by pulling the skin up? I'm feeling the same way about my inner thighs and I know it's probably loose skin. I'm having a tummy tuck it's month and I want to inquire about this. Thank you and good luck on your continued healing!
