Making the right decision as to the type of surgery, which surgeon and where to have the surgery is a very important one.

Mrs T.L fromLiverpool tells her story on how she found her ‘perfect surgeon’ for her abdominoplasty.

“I had my tummy tuck on the 6th January 2012 with the fantastic Mrs CC Kat! And I have never looked back.

Over the past 14 years I have had 5 children, but it was the first pregnancy that ruined my stomach, I was left with deep unsightly stretch marks and a saggy pouch, I had a bit of a hood to my belly button too. I hated it ! And I never felt nice in clothes, I was always conscious of my saggy protruding stomach.

I went to see Mrs Kat at The Priory in Birmingham and as soon as I met her I knew she was the surgeon for me, she is lovely, very confident in my results and really informative. After the consultation I met Natasha her nurse and personal assistant, she is equally amazing and was on the other end of a mobile phone if I needed her. How cool is that!!

I had my surgery on 6th January 2012 and the staff at The Priory couldn’t have been more helpful. I also had a physiotherapist. She was great in showing me breathing techniques afterwards and she visited me every day I was in hospital. I stayed for 3 nights,the care is 5 star and so is the food.

As I went down to theatre the whole team who was looking after me were excellent and were great at distracting me from what was about to happen, they made me laugh. After the op (which went great) I was taken back to my own bed and had constant care. I thought I would have been in more pain but I wasn’t. The next day I was up and about and got to look at my new tummy.It was amazing!! I had no stretch marks and it was flat and tight, I finally had the body I always dreamed of!

I can’t thank Mrs Kat, Natasha and her team enough. You have transformed my life, and not only my life but my husband’s and children’s, because I am so happy, it reflected on them too.

I travelled from Liverpool to see her and would have travelled across the seas to have her as my surgeon, as I have heard that so many people come from everywhere just to have her. I recommend, if you are reading this, you have certainly found your perfect surgeon!”
