Swanson Center Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck Kansas City

“I always had a stomach, even before having five kids. I did thousands of crunches, leg raises, and used an exercise machine. I could feel that I had good muscles underneath, but you couldn’t tell because my muscles were hidden under my pouch. I would wear clothes to hide my stomach, like pleated pants. It was affecting my self-esteem. I researched my options thoroughly before deciding to have surgery.

I love my results. It’s beyond what I thought it would accomplish. Now I have a flat stomach and almost all my stretch marks are gone. My abdominal muscles are no longer hidden. I put more into my workouts.

I have a whole new wardrobe. It’s awesome! I’m even wearing half-tops. My daughter told me to cover up – she thought I was showing too much. But she doesn’t know how happy I am that I don’t have to hide anything anymore."

“I have four children and have had three C-sections. With each pregnancy, I began to develop a pouch that would never quite go back to what it used to be. When I was in high school, I weighed 98 pounds. With my first pregnancy, in my ninth month, I weighed over 170 pounds. Between children I dieted and did everything I could but I never lost that pouch. I wanted to look good but I never could. I would wear a girdle and deprive myself trying to look better, but I never could. So after my fourth child, I decided that I needed something else. We moved to this area and I began looking into what could be done. I told my two sisters about Dr Swanson and my older sister decided to have it done. She had it first and I took care of her. Then she took care of me. Since I’d had three C-sections, I knew what it was like to have trouble bending over and moving around for the first few days after surgery. The staff was very supportive during my recovery so it was fine. I’m glad I did it. When I stand up, it’s a straight line. I look better, therefore I feel better. Because I feel better about myself, I look better. It’s a circle. My husband loves how I look. He loves it when I buy a dress that fits my body instead of me trying to cover up a flaw. It’s just been great. My husband got excited helping me buy a dress. One size fits all my body.

I think patients should be given a worse case scenario and then it won’t be that bad. I knew what abdominal surgery was like, but for someone who’d never had it, you’re going to feel some pain – though not much – and you’re going to need help getting up and getting to the bathroom the first couple of days. You’re going to have to take time to let your body heal. You’ll see an improvement everyday until you can stand up straight again. For awhile you’ll be hunched over. Try not to laugh of it’ll hurt. It’s uncomfortable, but not that bad. Not as bad as those three Cc-sections. Take it easy, be nice to yourself, rest, and within a few weeks you’ll be fine.”

"After my two children were born, I had a pouch that wouldn't go away. Diet and exercise didn't do a thing for it. I'm thrilled with my tummy tuck. I now wear my shirts tucked into my jeans. It's really changed my personality. I have more self-confidence. For me, surgery was the answer."

"I had five children, who really did a number on my abdomen. I’d also lost volume in my breasts. I’d been working out and never really had a problem controlling my weight.

It seemed the more I worked out the worse I looked. I knew I needed a little help. I decided to have a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation. I feel like a new person.”"
