“I wanted to be a fit mom and lost 40 pounds in 3 years. I was not living a healthy life, getting pregnant was not a given and the medical process also caused me to lose weight. After my pregnancy I made the switch: I started eating less and exercising more. That is how I lost so much weight in three years. But the image did not match what I saw in the mirror, I could only see my fat body.

Plastsich surgeons Michiel Schuringa and Mireille van Hal are really top-notch. They are people. That may sound a little crazy, but not all plastic surgeons are people. I was able to communicate openly with them and Michiel understood exactly what I wanted. In consultation, we not only did a tummy tuck, but at the same time my breasts were lifted.

I’m not there yet, I still have too much skin on my arms, but that’s for later concern. I also find an arm elevator a bit more intense, then you really have a visible scar. Without a scar no result, but the scar from my tummy tuck and breast elevator I can easily hide, no one is going to see it except my husband.

I only had surgery 5.5 weeks ago, but I’m really happy already. During my recovery I also asked myself regularly “why did I want this again?!”, but now I have found my bearings. Really, I see so many results already, even with all the fluid I am retaining, so ask me this question again in 3 weeks, then I will jump in the air.”
