| Q: | What procedure did you want to have done? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A: | A full breast reduction and later a tummy tuck. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q: | What kind of research (if any) did you do on plastic surgery and plastic surgeons? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A: | My family doctor told me for years that I was a very pretty person and that if I would lose weight that I would look so much better. He was the person that really gave me the incentive to want to have the surgery in the first place. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q: | How did you decide to have the surgery performed by Dr. Foley? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A: | I went to my family doctor and talked to him about having the surgery done and this is when he sent me to talk to Dr. Foley to see if I was a good candidate for the surgery, and I was. I was so heavy at the time that I had back problems and the weight caused three of my ribs to be pressed together. Not to mention the grooves that the weight was putting in my shoulders, along with the curvature of the spine. I didn't need much to help make up my mind after all of this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q: | Did the office staff affect your overall experience? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A: | Dr. Foley has a wonderful office staff. I was very leary about having to stand with nothing on to have pictures taken before the surgery. They made me feel vey at ease and a joke now and then didn't hurt. I thank them all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q: | How did Dr. Foley come across during your initial consultation?
| A: | Dr. Foley really took the time to talk to me and tell me the procedure
that he would be performing on me and what I could expect after the
surgery was complete. | Q: | Did you feel like all of your questions were understood and answered to
your liking? | A: | I felt Dr. Foley understood all of my questions and concerns and in
return he gave me the answers, not just what I wanted to hear, but the
truth. Considering any type of surgery can be a little
frightening
at first, but I was put at ease. | Q: | How was your recovery? | A: | My recovery was a good one as I had the help of my husband (which was
greatly needed). Dr. Foley made sure that I had what I needed to stay
comfortable without much pain and I recovered nicely. | Q: | Are you happy with your result? | A: | I am very happy with the results from the breast reduction surgery. I
can now wear things that I have never been able to wear. | Q: | Would you recommend Dr. Foley to someone considering cosmetic
surgery? | A: | I would and have recommended Dr. Foley to others that have asked about
my surgery. Why spend your entire life unhappy or in pain. | Q: | What did you like the best about the overall surgical experience? | A: | When I am asked what I like the best about having the surgery, I tell
them that for the first time in my life people see me and not my breasts
first when I walk into a room. Is this important you might ask? When
you are heavy people look at you differently. For some reason they
don't see the person on the inside, just what's on the outside. I
can
now wear clothes that I have never been able to wear before. A
dress, a pant suit, a pretty bathing suit or a lace bra, and I feel
good about myself.
| Since having the breast reduction I have now had the tummy tuck. I am healing just fine from that. It takes a little longer, but it to has been worth it. The tummy tuck was performed in the surgical suite in Dr. Foley's office and the time was just about the same. I wish to thank Dr. Foley and all of his staff. I can never say thank you enough, you have given me a new lease on life. |

them.
