After a 3 year journey and losing 134 pounds it was time to remove the excess skin from my belly and put my breasts back in the spot they are supposed to be in. After tons of research and making consults with 4 other surgeons it was a pretty easy decisions to make. With 2 surgeons I met with I spent more time hearing from their nurses about my operation and what they were going to do with and to me. Maybe 5-7 minutes with the actual dr. The other 2 surgeons had great conversation but one wanted to place my tummy tuck line about an inch below my belly button and the other had before and after pictures showing zig zag surgical lines. My initial consultation with Dr. stiles just for the tummy tuck and breast lift lasted about an hour. I had a million and one questions to ask. Being that I've never had cosmetic surgery I am very naive. He hoped up on his chair and stayed completely engaged and focused on the conversation. He never made me feel like I was wasting his time and no question was a dumb question. He drew on my torso giving me a visual of what would be removed and where cuts would potentially be and where things would be relocated. No other surgeon did this. I had time when I got home I could let it sink in and visualize in the comfort of my home what would be removed. Skip ahead to surgery day.. Intake nurse absolutely welcoming and comforting knowing I was nervous. Dr Stiles made relaxing funny conversation and made sure again I was comfortable in my decision and choice and reassured me I couldn't be in better hands. Pain after was controlled very well I don't remember much but what I do remember I left laughing and very comfortable after a long day. My pain was very tolerable and controlled for a long car ride home. Michelle's friendly face at each follow up visit and literally her gentle hands during bandage changes and drain removals. The absolute best part of my follow up care was running out of pain medicine at 11pm and calling after hours and who calls back? That's right Dr. stiles himself. Within 10 minutes I had a prescription called in and waiting for me. 13 weeks later my tummy is flat there's absolutely no sign left of the huge sagging skin even my C section line is gone! The tummy tuck line is so low and already fading in some spots you can't even see it. I opted to do a breast lift with a small implant. My breasts look amazing! They're even,they're perfectly round, and after being stretched from breast feeding and massive weight loss my nipples are small and even. I have complete sensation and feeling in both breasts. I am one very happy and satisfied girl. Dr Stiles was not the cheapest when it came to consults and he wasn't the most expensive. Doing your homework pays. The entire staff in his office is very friendly and welcoming. They learn your name and greet you with smiles. Dr Stiles does INCREDIBLE work. I never could have imagined after losing all of that weight and for so long hating my body naked that I could be proud to wear a bikini for the first time in my life. Thank you Dr. Stiles I will forever be a 100% totally and completely satisfied patient.
