Dr Chua, the Art of Plastic Surgery

I had a tummy tuck a little over a year ago and the doctor, who won't be named, did a terrible job. I ended up with a larger waist at 30 inches, a lumpy protruding stomach and my belly button looked weird, like if was sewn shut. I saw Dr Chua about a revision because the other doctor kept telling me that there was underlying fat under my stomach and it "was normal". It was clear he didn't want to do anything to fix it and by that time, I didn't want him to do anything else for me. I met with Dr Chua and after a long, extremely informative consultation we decided to do a tummy tuck revision, lipo 360 to address the lumpiness and unevenness and since we were taking out fat, added a bbl to put that fat in a better place. He was very thorough with the pre-op instructions and very clear that the surgery was his job but the recovery part was on me. Before surgery I jokingly told him that I would like to see my old 25 inch waist again. I have to admit that the first 2-3 weeks were tough. But a few days past 4 weeks, my waist was already at 26 1/2 inches!! So far, I am almost at 6 weeks and the results are amazing!! My tummy is flat, my waist is getting smaller, the lumpiness and unevenness is smoothed out and my belly button looks normal again. He is extremely professional, kind, caring, patient, answers any and all questions, and I Gould see that he really likes what he does. His staff is great but Daisy is wonderful. She constantly texted me and made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process, pre-op and post-op. I love my results now, and they are going to get better. THANK YOU DR. CHUA!!!!!
