Tummy Tuck at 52 - thrilled with my surgical outcome

Here are my one year photos - I’m so pleased with my recovery since January 9th, 2024! It’s been a careful journey, and I’m incredibly happy I had a recovery free of any complications:)
The scar is healing beautifully, and I’m thrilled with the form of my body now. I’ve experienced huge benefits, both physical & emotional, and I am grateful I was able to do this for myself.
I’m still building up strength and exploring new ways to move and exercise, which has been interesting. I am feeling confident, proud, and excited to keep improving! I have no regrets.
Thank you to everyone who supported me.

I am 7 weeks post-op after an Abdominoplasty, and I have had a positive experience with Dr Doyle, his Office, and his Nurses. I chose Dr Doyle’s practice because of his qualifications, his long years of experience in this field, and the overnight hospital stay after surgery. I felt looked after, cared for, and safe during my procedure. I was especially impressed with the comprehensive information provided from the initial consultation, and the specific instructions provided pre & post surgery. I felt guided through the process which was easy and uncomplicated. I took supplied supplements starting ten days before surgery, and attended regular pre-scheduled follow-up appointments for drain removal, stitches removal, scar healing checks, plus compression advice was given. His office is prompt in replying to enquiries, and there’s ample opportunity for questions during appointments. I had no pre-existing health concerns. I am thrilled with my surgical outcome, and would recommend Dr Doyle and his team to others.

Initial consultation: 87.8kg
I booked the Abdominoplasty six months out so I could lose more weight. I did intermittent fasting and only ate between 10am - 6pm.
Surgery day: 77kg
7 weeks post-op: 71.8kg

I had three close successive pregnancies in my late twenties. I had prolapse surgery in my forties, and made a lot of effort trying to reclaim my body. I lost 15+kg twice - at 40 and again at 50 years old - however the fatty skin flap on my abdomen only hung lower after my weight losses and hid my private area even more.

Life-altering decisions take countless years of introspection. I reached the pivotal decision to prioritise my well-being before I turned 53. Another twenty years of feeling powerless was very depressing and unappealing to me. By taking this surgical step, I’ve not only altered my appearance, I have given myself the opportunity to embrace a different future. With some professional expert help.
