I Had a Fantastic Experience and Results with Dr. Pedersen!

I am 45 and have 4 kids. I had a 3 finger separation and a pouch in my lower belly. I found Dr. Pedersen to be direct and answered all of my questions. I had researched a lot of information about what to expect with a tummy tuck, so I felt like I was prepared, but Dr. Pedersen made sure to ask if I had any other concerns. I did ask about liposuction, but he said I didn’t need it. I really liked that instead of pushing me into a procedure I didn’t need, he gave me his opinion and then let me choose what was best for me. I had the procedure at the surgery center in Fairlawn. Every single person I interacted with was very professional and kind. I was so impressed and really was treated so well. They reviewed exactly what I wanted done, and Dr. Pedersen came in to make sure I was comfortable and understood exactly what would happen. Anesthesia came in and was super nice, asking if I wanted a patch behind my ear to help prevent vomiting after surgery (I did). I woke up in recovery and the nurses were amazing. Made sure I was not in pain. I had the Exparel during the surgery and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! It was so very worth the extra $300! Was not in pain when I woke up. Started to get a bit uncomfortable after a little bit and the nurses were immediately on it to stop the pain. I am very happy with my results and very happy I chose Dr. Pedersen and this surgery center. The pain was not as bad as I expected it to be. About the same as my C-section, but if you stay on top of the pain meds, it was totally manageable. I never felt a time when it was severe. Great experience!
