Best Decision Ever

46 yo mom of two and substantial (60-70 lb) weight loss after years of weight fluctuations. Because I had been a chubby teen, I never wore the bikinis or cute clothes, and after getting in the best shape of my life, decided I earned the body I should have had.
I met with Dr. Bruce for a consult and immediately knew he’d be my surgeon. Only recommended what I needed, GREAT bedside manner- hilarious, and very up on the latest research. I’m currently 3 months post op from drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair and could not be happier, both with my results, and with the aftercare from Dr. Bruce and the staff at Illume. I’ve had 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 month visits, and I’ve seen the surgeon each time. I will have a 6 month and a 1 year visit, and will be discharged after that as long as everything looks good. This is all included in what I thought was a very reasonable price. And any time I’ve had a question between visits, I’ve been able to email pics to the nurse, and she gets me answers right away.
I’m so pleased with my experience, and would recommend Dr. Bruce and Illume to anyone looking for a similar surgery.
