After gaining 60 pounds with the pregnancy of my son, I seemed to lose the “baby weight” quickly at the age of 25. Keeping active and in shape throughout my twenties seemed to be done with little effort. Even though I did not have stretch marks from my excessive weight gain during pregnancy, I did have what I called a “pitted” look all over my stomach. An analogy that describes it best is: you cannot deflate a balloon and expect it to look like new.
Nearing 40, I began to realize it became harder to maintain my usual weight and size 6 figure. Each year I exercised and ate less, but I still seemed to gain weight and lose tone. Finally, when I could drop 10 extra pounds, my breasts also dropped and my stomach seemed to look even worse. It was as if the elasticity in my skin was gone. Even though my clothes fit once again, the “mushroom” bulge that hung over my jeans and dress pants started to annoy me even more. I became more frustrated and depressed daily and worked out harder and harder. Getting up at 5:30 a.m. daily just to fit in the workout, my frustration level rose day by day.
After researching traditional liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast lifts, and breast augmentation, I decided I was going to go for it. I scheduled consultations with several doctors, but was most impressed and comfortable with Dr. Agha. After meeting him, I was certain he was the one I wanted to perform the surgeries. I had a breast lift, liposuction, and tummy tuck by Dr. Agha. After two months of recovering from surgery, I began to see the incredible results of Dr. Agha’s touch. My jeans and pants fit like never before. I have a waistline that I do not think I ever had even in high school. My breasts, one size bigger, are perky and my husband thinks they look the best ever! The scars will take time to heal, but each day they look more faint. I can hardly wait until the six months point and see how the results have evolved.
All in all, I do not regret my decision to have plastic surgery and feel more confident and youthful because of it. Dr. Agha gets my highest recommendation, and I would tell any woman that it truly gives you back the figure you used to have or the one you always dreamed of.
