"I am a mother of 4 wonderful kids. The havoc they put my body thru is crazy. I gained over 100 pounds over the course of having all of them. Of course I have to take some responsibility for the food I put into my mouth. After deciding to get myself in control and start on a healthy path, I ended up with a lot of excess skin around the abdomen, thighs, and arms. My breast were huge before pregnancy and GIGANTIC after breast feeding. I had size G breast. They hung to my belly button, and when I laid on my back they went into my arm pits. They were so heavy. My back hurt, I had shoulder grooves, major headaches, and they didn't fit into anything. As much as I disliked seeing myself in the mirror with no clothes on, I sucked it up and went to see Dr. Schwartz. Everyone there is so nice. The office is absolutely beautiful. I felt so comfortable during the consultation. Dr. Schwartz gave me so much information. I felt like he really cared. We decided to break down my procedures into two stages. We started with Thighs and Arms and for the second stage we did the Abdomen and Breast. Dr.Schwartz and his team were amazing thru my whole journey. My husband was a rock star as well. Thanks Babe! I cannot thank them enough. Nicole made sure I had all my appointments in place and always returned my frantic phone calls. The photographer Erika talked me thru all the photos (which I hated at first) and then I would look forward to laughing with her.Dawn visited me at the after care facility to get me up walking, and change my bandages. I would text her nightly with questions and she always got back to me ASAP.
Dr. Schwartz is something special. It's rare to find someone who really cares, listens, takes his time, explains everything to the fullest, and makes sure you understand what you are signing up for.
It feels so good to be able to put on a pair of pants and my stomach isn't falling over the top. The skin on my thighs aren't rubbing together. I no longer have to put baby power on them so I don't chaff. My arms fit into jackets.
I love the outcome of each procedure. My favorite was the LipoLift Breast Reduction. I hated so many years of having my breast lay against me. When Dr. Schwartz took off the bandages and I didn't have the weight, the pulling, and I didn't feel them against me, words cannot explain how happy I was. I had no nipple sensation before surgery. Now I'm hyper sensitive. It is truly amazing. I didn't even need to have drains.
My outside now matches my inside. For that, I will be eternally grateful for the most wonderful experience and help during my journey."
