Susan

Name: Susan

Profession: Account Executive/Sales

Procedure: Liposuction, Breast Lift, Botox® and Scar Revision

As a single mom with two young boys and a demanding career, Susan found she had little time or energy left for herself. "I had played sports my whole life and I was used to being active, so when I stopped exercising I gained weight. I didn’t feel like myself, and I didn’t feel good about myself.”

Susan wanted to get her pre-pregnancy body back. "I didn’t look like myself either, so I thought about having a tummy tuck and a breast lift. When I started looking for a doctor, I knew to look only for a board-certified plastic surgeon. I’m not sure why, but I knew it was important. I did a search on the Internet for ‘board-certified plastic surgeons’ and found the ASPS Web site where I searched ASPS Member Surgeons.” She consulted with two plastic surgeons about a tummy tuck. “The first doctor didn’t spend much time with me. He seemed rushed and I felt like I was just another patient. I had a much better consultation and examination with the second plastic surgeon, the one I chose to do my surgery. He recommended I have liposuction instead of the tummy tuck. He genuinely cared, always made me feel good, answered all my questions, and I liked his office staff. His fee was higher than the first doctor, and I still knew he was the right one.”

Susan says her plastic surgery reminded her of what her body could look like and gave her motivation to diet and exercise. Her liposuction removed inches and her breast lift improved her self esteem. “I had my procedures about a year ago, and I am very pleased. I knew I had to change my lifestyle habits and that plastic surgery alone wasn’t enough. In the last four months I have lost 30 pounds and again exercise two to three times a week.”

“I trust my ASPS Member Surgeon and would recommend him and the procedures I had to anyone interested.”
