Tummy Tuck Surgery – A Patient Testimonial

I had the operation after losing four and a half stone in weight, but also I’d had twins some 14 years before and I had very loose hanging skin. So I decided to, having lost weight, decided to get rid of that excess skin because obviously it was quite ugly and seriously bad stretch marks.

I went for the consultation at my local private hospital Saxon Clinic in Milton Keynes, and I found it very simple and straightforward. I met Mr. Richards and we went over everything, talked about it, got a date booked in the diary. So it was very straightforward and no complications there.

After the operation, my recovery was reasonably quite smooth. I wasn’t in too much pain, and pain relief I had took away any really unpleasant discomfort. Obviously things were sore, but I was still able to travel home in the car after the surgery. But obviously, over the period of weeks, I got more and more mobile, and probably by about four weeks I was really kind of back more or less to normal. Six weeks I was back to work. Still a bit sore, a bit tired, but fine on the whole.

With regards to having the operation, I wouldn’t change anything. It was a fantastic thing that I’ve had done. All the clothes look brilliant on me now. There’s no overhanging skin underneath the clothes, etc., and I just wouldn’t change it for the world. It was the best thing I ever did.
