My Story
My experience with Dr. Hunsicker and her staff at Revalla Plastic Surgery has changed my life, and I mean that with every fiber of my being. Last year I was 43, a married mother of 2 small children delivered via C-Sections, and I was hopeless about my body. Thanks to 2 large babies and the C-Sections, my abdomen had been barrel shaped with a hanging flap of skin for 9 years, and no matter how much weight I gained, or lost, nothing would change the shape or look of my abdomen. I had been told by friends and family members that I just needed to do more crunches, or do this diet, or that diet, or exercise more, or maybe If I lost a little more weight than I would get that flat tummy I longed for. I hired trainers, I dieted, I did endless crunches, but nothing worked so I just kind of gave up. I thought, “I am healthy otherwise, I have a beautiful family, I need to stop focusing on one negative body part so much. I need to be positive!” I would tell myself that I couldn’t justify paying for a cosmetic procedure when I had children and a family that could use that money in different ways. I told myself I needed to focus on my family. So I would put on my Spanx tank tops under everything I wore, I put on my tummy control pants, I dressed in layers, I endured my lower back pain, I hated any picture taken of me, I dreaded putting on a swim suit, I remained depressed about my body and insecure. But I couldn’t stop thinking, “But what if I did have the surgery??”
One morning I decided I would just talk to Dr Hunsicker, recommended to me by my dermatologist, to see if there was anything I could do on my own to get my pre-pregnancy tummy back. I expected her to tell me I needed more core exercises and a diet. Instead, after chatting with her and a brief examination, she discovered I had a small umbilical hernia, and she believed that I would never be able to have a flat abdomen without surgery. It turns out I had a 7cm diastasis recti, so my abdominal muscles weren’t connected anymore, and would never come back together without surgical intervention. Dr. Hunsicker was so kind and patient with me and she felt more like a friend than a surgeon. She explained everything in detail with me about my situation, and how she could help me. And in May 2018 I had an abdominoplasty.
I am now 11 months post-op, and I have an abdomen that is far better than what I ever had pre-pregnancy, one that I thought was elusive for me. I actually have a 6-pack! After the surgery I cried tears of joy seeing my flat abdomen. When I exercised I was able to actually feel my abdominal muscles contracting! My back pain has completely disappeared, and I now WANT to exercise because I actually CAN now that I have a core again. All of my clothes fit the way they should, I can wear jeans again without having a pooch, and the best part? I threw away all of my Spanx tank tops and tummy control clothing. Spending the money on this procedure was the best thing I have ever done for myself AND for my family. I am more secure in who I am around my children, and now physical fitness is a major part of our lives. I am a happier wife as I feel better about myself, and I now have the motivation to continue to better my self for my family and my own future.
Dr. Hunsicker and her staff are so comforting, welcoming, funny, and they made me feel so very special and well taken care of.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and best wishes to all of you.
