My Personal Statement:
I have wanted this for so long. I am very athletic, and love to dress up, and be in a bikini ( I live in Florida). I have always been very conscious of the tears on my stomach, and became the master of disguise, when it came to buying clothes and bathing suits. I was young having children, so speding money on myself was not an option for all these years. This finally was THE YEAR FOR ME! It was hard to take the step for yourself, putting all the guilt aside. But I couldn't have made a better decision for me. It truly has changed the quality of my life. We become so good at setting aside stress, that we forget how much it can affect us. I feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF! I know that I have raised a beautiful family, and now my plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Evans has given my body a second chance! I had a full tummy tuck, he repaired my muscles that were so stretched from my 9lb babies! He performed liposuction of the back and flanks, and my buffalo hump. I also recieved a breast augmentation, which at the time was not a high priority, but now that I have it HOLY COW - your not getting these back! Just to walk by a mirror with no clothes on and have my breasts look this good without a bra, brings a tear to my eye! My doctor has made this journey's experience what it is. Since my first pre-op appointment he had made me feel like I was his only patient. He is an amazing listener and very intuitive of your wants and needs. He has a strong sense of detail and perfection. And also will tell you of YOUR realistic results for the best you. I highly recommend Dr. Brian Evans, surgery staff, and office staff.
