Procedure Testimonial
I had an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with liposuction. Dr. E and his staff are courteous and professional. All guidelines and timelines were honest. For example, I was told I could return to work at the 7-10 day mark – sooner if I had a sitting job, later if I had a standing job. I returned to work on day 8 (I stand all day at work), and day 10 would have been perfect. Day 8 was probably a wee bit early. They were right on the mark, so listen closely to recommendations and guidelines.
I am thrilled with the excellent results of my tummy tuck. No longer wear Spanx and bought a two-piece bathing suit for the first time in twenty years. I am in my early 50s and have the belly button of a twenty-five-year-old! If you are going to lose weight, do it first. I had my consult with Dr. E (who answered every question I had and was extremely patient) and lost 32 pounds in the year before surgery. I’m so glad I did.
I have never felt better about my body. Had a tummy flap that would not go away, even with diet and exercise. I would recommend Dr. E without hesitation and would use him again if the need arose.
