MY life changing SURGERY! After having 3 beautiful children, I found out about the mommie make over procedure comprising of a tummy tuck and a breast implants. Advertisements were everywhere, on the radio, online, on social media, but I wanted to be safe, needed guaranteed results, and a peace of mind. So, I called Beverly Hills physician; which I am glad I did. When I met the team in Encino and the support team in the Lancaster office who prepared me for surgery, I felt confident, with their professionalism, expertise, knowledge, response time, and the affordable costs. I had my own personal Specialist, who was there to answer all my concerns, and who referred me to local clinics to get all the necessary tests that I needed for my preop. ($200). When I met Dr. Cohen, my confidence level increased. Dr. Cohen was upbeat, down to earth, professional, Friendly, and confident. He examined me, and in his own words, "of course I can do that for you." He met with me several times before surgery, and went over my expected results. SURGERYSurgery was in the clean secured surgical room at the Encino office. I spoke to a qualified anesthesiologist, who took the time to go over all my allergies and allergies to medication. I was informed of the process of placing me under, I feel comfortable talking to the qualified individual, and didn't even know when I fell sleep. soSurgery was about three hours and my family members could wait or return. When I woke up, I was not in the amount of pain that I thought I would be after such an intense surgery. Dr. Cohen explained to me that there was a new process, at that time, where he would inject pain medication before closing me up. It was the best procedure for me. I was given my meds right there at the Encino office, my family members spoke to the doctor, and received instructions on how to help me heal, and how to care for me. AFTER CAREI needed help for about two weeks, I stayed with my daughter, during Thanksgiving, as a chose a holiday, where they would be home. She gave me my medication on time, which helped me manage my pain. I recommend drinking lots of water and using stool softener since some medication cause constipation. I had absolutely no problems with my bandaging, I followed instructions, I did not take a bath until instructed, and I was able to keep my self clean with the use of warm wipes, and antibacterial soap to wash my hands. I went back to work after 2 1/2 to three weeks, but I was fully recovered in about six weeks. I was able to return to my normal work schedule, with little restrictions, I did not lift anything heavy, for six months to give my body a chance to heal, externally, and internally. And yes, when I got up to go to the restroom, I had to crunch over a little bit to secure my stitches for a while.I kept my surgical waist band on as suggested, and it helped a lot. The drainage tubes helped removed excess blood from my incision area and helped with my healing process. The collection ball was easy to empty in the toilet. After surgery, in the early hours of the morning, the nurses, help me get dressed, took me to my family member, I made sure I was OK before I was sent home with instructions on how to care for myself and an appointment to be seen the next day. Dr. Cohen was available by cell phone to address all my concerns During my post surgery. When I looked at the before, and after pictures, I was amazed. The expertise of the board-certified physicians at Beverly hills physicians are commendable, and I am a real life example. Five years later, even though I gained a few pounds, I still have a beautiful stomach, with no stretchmarks, and hanging skin, and just a thin line for the surgical cut underneath my bikini. Dr. Cohen, ensured that I receive enough visits to follow me and make sure that I was OK, eating properly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.I would recommend that you lose the weight And get to a desirable weight before your surgery, and maintain a healthy diet there after to maintain your new body. You have to give up something to gain something. After having three beautiful children, I was left with sagging stretchmark skin. Dr. Andrew Cohen gave me the body that I can confidently show off on the beach, and with tight fitting A-line dresses. Would I do it all over again, yes! With the same team of professionals, yes. As a matter fact, I have been back to Beverly hills physician for two more procedures, both of which I'm satisfied. Beverly hills physician gave me back The confidence that I needed to become the new 55 year old hot glamma of 3 GRANDKIDS. Today,5 years years later, I still have my smooth stomach with faded surgical cut and enjoy my new attire. Thank you Beverly hills physician.
