“It Meant Everything to Me to Feel More Like Myself”
Mommy Makeover Patient Reclaims Her Confidence After Raising Three Boys
After delivering, in her words, “three giant babies,” Karen found herself wanting more than just aesthetic improvement. She wanted full body restoration.
Working directly with Dr. Donaldson, she underwent a successful mommy makeover surgery consisting of a breast reduction with lift, tummy tuck and liposuction to the flanks and subaxillary area to help her body reflect the effort and strength it took to get where she is today. Karen is now healing and moving forward, saying that the care she received has been responsive, compassionate and incredibly motivating.
“It meant everything to me to feel a little bit more like myself — not necessarily just to improve my appearance, but to get myself back to where I was before I did all of that hard work.”
Healing That Goes Beyond Surgery
Karen worked hard in the year leading up to surgery, shedding 20 pounds to prepare her body for the best results possible. Since the procedure, she’s felt even more inspired by how she feels: energized, supported and deeply proud. Her sleep has improved, her nutrition is more intentional and her mindset is focused on sustainable wellness.
“I have focused on making sure that all the work that we put in on the medical side is followed up on the behavioral side through diet and exercise. It’s been really great because my family has been super supportive of that.”
“The surgery took off about eight pounds. I’m already on the track to losing more weight. It’s so motivating to see & feel different. To feel better.”
