I'm updating my review for anyone interested in this procedure. I have been waiting until now to give my review a thumbs up or thumbs down but have decided to go with a thumbs up.

The results are not perfect. I would love to have more definition in the treated areas. I also have three scars, which are noticeable in the photos. I don't know if they are because of the issues I had with getting my stiches removed or just a normal risk when having surgery done. I am a little self-conscious of the scars and I'll be booking an appointment with a clinic soon to ask them if there's any way to treat them.

However, I know what I used to look like even when I was a lot skinnier than in my before photos here - and I had no defined muscles at all. I used to be very self-conscious and never take my shirt off. This has now changed. I may not be 100% happy with my body but it's a lot better - which is why I think this surgery was worth it for me.

The results have stayed more or less stable during the almost two years since I had the surgery. Some days it looks better and some days it looks worse. I'm attaching two photos. They are about an average - on a good day it will look better, and some days there's less definition. These photos should still give you some idea, as well as show the scars.

Feel free to ask any questions here and I'll be happy to help!

Dr Mekle is very nice and calm, makes you feel you're in good hands. The staff were all wonderful and I never had to wait long for anything. Top-Medics (Natasza) is very communicative and helpful, arranging things and clearing up mistakes/changes for you. However, I will say this: it is not just about what you ask as a patient. There are things I've thought about afterwards that I think would've given a 5 star rating. For instance, Dr Mekle never asked me what kind of look I wanted or told me if he could do the procedure in different "styles". So far the results I'm seeing are good, but I can't help but wondering - could they have been better if I had asked the right questions? Also, while my aftercare instructions were good, I was sent home after the followup with three open drain holes. I was not told how long they would take to heal and the staff just put little band-aids on top which clearly were not enough because the holes were leaking a lot of blood-mixed fluid all the time. I've read online that leaving these holes open is common and that they should dry out soon, but I wish I had been better informed of this so I didn't have to worry about the clinic having made a mistake. Overall I am mostly happy with my experience. I can't review my results yet so an update will come.

Skin tightness getting better. Incision sites still not fully closed, beginning to see what the scars might look like.

As for the results, I'm not seeing as much definition in the abdomen as I would like. The photos look better than what it looks like in reality. I'm hoping it's swelling that will eventually go away though.

It's been over 2 weeks since the surgery and I'm healing well. I did have some issues when I went to get the sutures taken out. I had to see 2 doctors and 4 or 5 nurses before one finally got the sutures out. None of them, including the last one, had ever seen this type of suture. I asked Natasza at Top Medics for advice but she said Dr Mekle had never had any complaints and that the sutures were completely standard. I can't see how all of the professionals that I met could be incompetent so that for me was weird. I'm fine now, but it was definitely a stressful thing not knowing if there was something wrong etc. Also, having had several people literally digging around in the incision sites with tools obviously I'm hoping I won't have any extra scarring.

Otherwise I believe I've been lucky as I've had very little swelling, no apparent edema and little bruising too. I'm sleeping with the compression garment and today I tried some light exercise which felt good. I have no pain anymore, only some slight numbness in some areas. My main point of discomfort is now skin tightness, it feels like the skin has been growing back in a sort of "hunched" body position, so when I try to stand straight/keep a good posture, the skin really stretches to a very uncomfortable point. I'm sure this will get better soon though.

Will update with progress photo soon!

Hi there. I had the same reaction when I had mine out. They thought it was very tight etc etc but do not be alarmed. Everything will be fine and it will all work out. Mine scares are healing fine and I had the same problem them been removed. Please do not be alarmed you will all be good if you follow Dr Mekle advice.
