Life Changing Procedure

WORTH IT

After having 4 children I was left with loose skin and fat that hung over the top of my underwear not to mention the muscle movement that made me look pregnant. For years this has made me very self conscious and I have found myself wearing leggings and baggy cover up clothes all the time. A night out would fill me with dread!!

So after a long discussion with my very supportive partner I decided to look into some sort of surgery. I began my research and found Mr Siddiqui. He has been amazing. Such a nice man, very friendly and approachable. He made me feel at ease straight away. We discussed options that were available to me and he explained everything I needed to know about the procedure.

Roughly 2 months ago I went ahead and had full abdominoplasty. I was a little nervous before hand but I needn’t of been, he made me feel at ease from start to finish. I am absolutely over the moon with my results even though I’m only 2 months post surgery. This procedure is life changing!

My scar is very neat, better than any I’ve seen online. Since my surgery Mr Siddiqui has been on hand with any worries or questions I have had. He encourages regular updates and photos via text. Any problems he’s always at the end of the phone which I found reassuring. All in all I am very happy and would definitely recommend Mr Siddiqui to anyone looking at having surgery.

Hi All
Here are some before and after pictures. I hope you find them helpful.
My before pictures were taken just before surgery about 9 weeks ago. These are my results and I’m not even 3 months post surgery yet so I still have some swelling. I expect to see the best results at 6 months.

Wow there is a huge difference! Congratulations you look fab!! How has your recovery been?

Thankyou :)
The recovery wasn’t too bad to be honest. I’m wearing the pressure garments all the time and I massage at least twice a day with bio oil.
I expected the recovery to be so much worse after watching YouTube stories. They were mainly American and I feel they exaggerate ALOT!!
Obviously you have to be careful and look after yourself. One thing I would say is make you have have lots of pillows to keep you in that Z shape.
Good luck with yours xx

The belly button doesn't look like it's been moved down. I really don't want my belly button 2-3 inches lower than normal as I have seen in the past and was wondering how it was addressed in your case. It looks absolutely normal.

Hi
To be honest my surgeon just told me that he would reposition my belly button as close to where it was before and I thought no more about it. I think he has positioned it perfect because I haven’t even noticed.
I can’t praise Mr Siddiqui enough, you would be fine I’m sure if you decide to go with him.
Stay safe and good luck x

Thankyou!
Good luck I’m so glad I did it, it so worth it. I didn’t lose much actual weight but I’ve gone down 2 dress sizes and am able to wear clothes I never could before! Actually love clothes shopping now

Thank you for the honest feedback. Pain doesn't scare me it's just the idea of being laid up for weeks with small kids and my own business to run. If I thought I would be through the worst at two weeks I wouldn't hesitate to get this done! You look fantastic what a difference.

Thankyou
The thing that worried me was how I would cope with looking after my 9 month old baby after surgery. For the first 2 weeks I had someone with me everyday because I couldn’t pick him up. After that I was very careful. I didn’t go back to work for 4 weeks, luckily I timed it well with my maternity leave. I couldn’t of gone back to work at 2 weeks like some people do, I couldn’t even stand up straight! I would say that even though it’s difficult to stand up you are over the worst by then. X
