Ava was unhappy with the appearance of her lower abdomen after having children almost 20 years ago, the last of whom was delivered by Caesarian section. This had left her with an unsightly scar and what she described as a “shelf”. She was not keen on a full abdominoplasty, and opted for a smaller procedure.
The operation was carried out under a general anaesthetic, as a day case procedure. A wedge of skin and fat was removed from the lower part of the abdomen (just above the pubic hair-line, at the level of the caesarian section scar). This allowed the abdomen to be tightened up. She had dissolving stitches and a light dressing. She returned at a week to the nurse led, dressing clinic for a reviewed change of dressing.
Waited 16 years for this & I’m delighted with the results. Mr Bahia put me at ease, very reassuring, extremely professional and answered any queries. I would definitely recommend Refine Plastic Surgeons and Mr Bahia in particular.
I am delighted to see that Ava has had a nice result from a short day case procedure. The photos were taken at only 7 weeks following surgery, and are still a little firm and pink. These will gradually soften down over the coming months and fade to a pale white line. She will be able to return to full exercise now, but should continue to massage and moisturise her scars to help with their maturation.
"I cannot find fault with the treatment, results and after-care I have received from Mr Raine."
"Dr C Raine, has my greatest admiration. I can only say I had 5* treatment from the start, the results speak for themselves. I’m pleased to say I scored 1 out of 10 for pain, 10 being highest. You really are putting yourself in professional hands , can’t praise him enough."
"I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Raine to anyone considering a tummy tuck. I'm so glad I had this done and can't wait to go on holiday and wear a bikini for the first time in almost 20 years!"
