Surgery Gossip More HeadlinesShakira, the coveted pop princess of “Hips That Don’t Lie” and “
The 30-year old Colombian celebrity has denied having plastic surgery in the past, although she has admitted that she previously flirted with the idea of going under the knife on various occasions to have different procedures including a breast augmentation and lip enhancement.
A fan of blown-up, lip augmented lips for years, 43-year old Courtney Love is planning to have more plastic surgery to fix her enhanced lips and restore a natural look.
“My mouth still looks wonky. I have to restore myself to not looking ridiculous,“ wrote Love.
Love writes how some plastic surgeon “…did a trout mouth, with a substnce that doesnt fade, so it takes surgery to restore my face to natural, i feel like m,y mouth is too big still so im gonna have to go back and RESTORE it to NATURAL…”
Love is not the first person to suffer bad results with semi-permanent and permanent lip fillers, as using such fillers poses the risk of getting undesirable results that cannot fade away. Whereas temporary fillers such as Collagen, Juvederm or Restylane reabsorb into the body after a few months, long-lasting fillers such as Gore-Tex and silicone can last for several years. In many cases, such long-lasting fillers also have a lumpy feel to them, although this is not visible to the eye but can be felt when the patient touches their lips. Many surgeons recommend that patients first get a temporary filler before considering a long-lasting filler, so as to make sure that the lip filler is providing them the results they want.
In any twist of irony, Love previously made 53 new year’s resolutions for 2007 on her website, among which was that she’d be giving up plastic surgery. The ever contradictory Courtney Love promised, “No more surgery for any reason other than medical until I really need it in my 60s.”

Iconic sex-pot Kim Kardashian can be spotted just about anywhere a flashing camera, red carpet or where Paris Hilton is propped. This Armenian bronzed brunette beauty has caused quite an uproar and gained serious Hollywood status for her choice in entourage ranging from Paris, to just about anyone in the spotlight at the moment. 
In addition to her notorious sex tape with Ray-J, the 26-year old step-daughter of plastic surgery addict Bruce Jenner is equally notorious for her behind. A statement is rarely made about the party queen without including graphic comments of her derriere. Many think buttock implants are the culprit behind its distinct ample shape, but perhaps quite the contraire.
While Kim Kardashian’s buttocks are very large and shapely relative to her thin body frame, there are quite a few women who have this body shape from natural genes. While Kim is a fan of plastic surgery, it does not appear that she boosted her butt with implants, as she would have likely opted for a smaller behind if she was getting augmented.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn said, “While her [Kim’s] bottom does appear to jut out unnaturally, this may, in fact, be hereditary. I have seen some patients with similar figures who have not had any work done.”
For the many that remain a fan of her bum, and lack those freak of nature genes, the procedure is truly quick and simple. Solid silicone implants or via “fat grafting” are used to create the enhanced size and shape. An incision may be made in any one of the following places: where the cheek meets the back of the thigh, or down the buttock crease. The incision is usually made on the buttock crease to avoid noticeable scars. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to insert the implants, either under the gluteus maximus muscle, or on top of it. The entire procedure usually takes two or three hours to complete and the patient is free to return home within a few hours.
Along with the chatter of Kim Kardashian having buttock augmentation is word of her having her breasts augmented, also. Comparing pictures of her in the late teens to present-day pictures, there is certainly a “huge” difference. The size is much larger and more defined, and the only explanation to the burst of perfect growth would be breast implants. Kim sports the tell-tale signs of breast implants, including the rounded and super-projected boob look. Just as her twins have gained some plump-age so have her lips when comparing different photos. Lip injections would be the tool at hand used to create that beautiful pout you see glossed and flawless in all of Kim’s photos. One last possibility in her transformation from a little drab to gliterratti fab would be a nose job. The older black and white photo reveals a larger, more bulbous version of her now teeny tiny perfect little bump. The nose bridge is narrowed and more chiseled compared to her wider tip.
When trying to piece together a shred of explanation to Kim’s drastic sky-rocketed fame that’s been achieved with no real accomplishment, one may find it a little difficult for any tangible conclusion, other than this girl has a few good plastic surgeons, a few good friends, and one very good behind.

Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Wednesday appearance on the David Letterman Show in a scintillating golden mini skirt that boasted decidedly larger-looking breasts renewed rumors that the Welsh actress may have gotten breast implants.
Make Me Heal first reported on this breast augmentation rumor in January of this year when the 37-year old actress was seen on the beaches of St. Barts in a skimpy two-piece swimsuit that revealed strikingly larger breasts than the ones she sported in previous years. While Zeta-Jones’s breasts appear to have grown in volume by at least one cup size or more relative to photos of her seven or eight years ago, the change in breast size may be attributed to her weight gain over the last few years and from having two children.
Moreover, Christine Zeta-Jones’s breasts do not have the typical tell-tale signs of breast implants which are round and upright. Some pictures of Zeta-Jones actually show that she has moderate sagging in her breasts, which would rule out a recent boob job.
On the other hand, some insiders insist that Zeta-Jones had a boob job in the past and that her weight gain over the years alone could not explain the considerable gain in breast volume that she experienced. London-based Plastic surgeon Apostolos Gaitanis claims that Zeta-Jones had a breast augmentation in spite of her having packed on some pounds. “There is a considerable difference in the volume of the breasts. She has put weight on over the years but it looks suspiciously like she has had breast augmentation because the breasts are full and have more volume.” Dr. Gaitanis added that “they look firmer and project to the front. They are very full, which is a sign of a boob job”.
Catherine Zeta Jones dropped a few dress sizes in the last few months, claiming to have gone on a crash diet and exercise regime to shed the pounds. Zeta-Jones previously told how she “ate for Wales” while pregnant with her first son Dylan, now six, putting on 50lbs. The star denies having had any plastic surgery, although it is rumored (and pretty obvious to us) that she had a blepharoplasty (eye lift) in 2001 and that she had previously had her nose done. Moreover, Zeta-Jones flawless and wrinkle-free face suggests use of dermal injection fillers such as Botox, Restylane, or Juvederm and potential potential laser skin procedures and chemical peels.
Sizing up Catherine Zeta-Jones after all her alleged enhancements, she remains a naturally beautiful woman whose work, if any, is subtle and well done. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about her husband Michael Douglas’s facelift, whose surgery results are disappointing.

Make Me Heal’s Plastic Surgery Police has got a warrant out on Jack Nicholson, who is in desperate need of the knife. The 70-year old actor can be found sporting his five decades in the business like that of an outworn tattered, but somewhat hopeful pair of jeans. You know the pair- the ones you have visions of taking in, resizing, and hemming because you remember just how good they once were, and can’t help but want to show the world their beautiful potential.
For Jack Nicholson, the closest encounter to any form of surgery he’s had would be the makeup and face retouches in Batman, 18 years ago — complete with two raised lines drawn above and along his mouth to resemble some obscene form of a smile — that for two straight hours refused to go away. A less scary version in mind would be some laser treatments, botox, peels, and perhaps eyelid surgery to erase a few of the years on Jack’s face and soften his look to something closer to his younger years of being a Hollywood heart-throb. Such procedures offer noticeable changes right away. Laser treatments are used to diminish wrinkles, by using small lasers that precisely remove tissue in the face without removing blood, to their desired depth and also tightens the collagen fibers revealing a smoother softer face. Botox or Juvederm injections would also be very beneficial in Jack’s case to tighten and reduce his frown lines and the creasing in between his eye and brow. The eye surgery better known as “blepharoplasty” is a procedure that uses small incisions to remove excess skin and fat on the top and bottom lids; this too would assist in recovering the younger, dreamier Jack Nicholson. Perhaps with this surgery underway Jack could attend public events and ceremonies without his coveted dark glasses and be more willing to show his new and improved, youthful eyes. All of these facial procedures will result in no change to Jack’s unique features, leaving him looking naturally refreshed while avoiding the overdone look of some other celebrities.
Being that Jack has little jowling around his jaw and his neck seems to be in pretty good shape without excess skin hanging all over the place, there is no need for a facelift; or perhaps Jack has already visited a plastic surgery before and had a lower facelift to take care of these age-raising issues.
Along with the facial restorative treatments the benefits of liposuction, a tummy tuck, and gynecomastia would be profound. A few too many trips down the pleasure lane of sweets, beer, and in a recent photo-massive hoagies, has Jack’s mid-section resembling a massive lumpy bowl of stretched out goo. The combined effort of lipsuction and a tummy tuck would tighten his buried abdominal muscles, and smooth out the cottage cheese-like effect along his sides and under his “moobs” (man-boobs). A final mid section retouch would be to attack those “moobs” a condition known as gynecomastia. This procedure involves much of the same effort of the two mentioned above in that, incisions made would enable the doctor to remove the excess skin and fat, leaving a tighter more compact version of what could otherwise be exceedingly self-conscious man boobs. Finally, a last recommendation to complete this perfect transformation would be hair plugs, to again erase decades of aging and “top-off” his end result and to show everyone, just how good it CAN get.
The good news is that the procedures can all be done at the same time as a plastic surgery combo. Moreover, the healing time in these procedures would be nothing longer than a few weeks and results would be seen immediately, given proper care and provided that the patient follows the doctor’s recommendations for healing. Up keep would be nothing more than eating a reasonable balanced diet and regular exercise.
It has been a very successful half century for Jack Nicholson in showbiz, complete with countless classics that have reached the eyes of millions of adoring fans throughout the years. The cosmetic transformations that we suggest would be phenomenal to see and surely extend his incredible career for years on after and allow him to play a wider range of roles. We look forward to the possibility of seeing Jack sporting those great jeans again.

Just prior to getting arresting for driving under the influence this week, Lindsay Lohan spent the past weekend in Malibu partying with her friends and trying to play low-key at a beach barbeque. That was until she stripped down to a red-hot bikini that revealed her large overflowing breast implants.
Although the 21-year old actress has repeatedly denied having breast implants and attributed her sudden chest growth to genes, the just-released bikini pictures of Lindsay yet again confirm that only plastic surgery could explain the miraculous expansion of her breasts by one or two cup sizes. Moreover, Lindsay’s razor-thin body is in striking opposition to her voluptuous breasts, suggesting this lack of proportion between her chest and body was achieved by cosmetic surgery.
Lindsay is rumored to have gotten her first breast augmentation when she turned 17. Some sources say that Lohan subsequently had a second breast augmentation to improve her breasts and achieve a more “natural” look. Responding to these rumors, Lindsay said that she was a late bloomer who happened to develop her chest at 17.
“I developed very late in high school. When I was 16, I still had baby fat. I didn’t get my chest until I was 17, so that made me feel insecure. I used to feel like I had to stuff my bra,” said Lindsay Lohan in an interview with Cosmo Girl.
While it is normal for adolescents to develop their breasts in their late teens, Lindsay’s ballooning from complete flat territory to her current breast size of generous 34C seems unlikely without going under the knife. Real or fake, Lindsay’s boob job looks convincingly natural and had she not been a celebrity whose every move is caught on camera, only the trained eye would guess that her breasts are implants.
Lindsay’s breast augmentation is not the only plastic surgery rumor under her belt, as the actress is also rumored to have gotten a nose job and lip augmentation via dermal fillers such as collagen and Restylane. Lindsay’s lips have had their ups and downs, as in many photos they appear substantially fuller and more pouty than in other photos where they resume their flatter shape, suggesting that the star gets lip injections. As lip injections have a limited life, the only way to retain the voluptuous look is by having more injections.
Although Lindsay was not self-conscious about being photographed incessantly by paparazzi in her bikini, she was careful enough to keep a bit of her Maxi dress on top of her ankle so that no one should see her alcohol detection ankle bracelet that she has to wear after crashing her car in May due to alcohol intoxication.

These last 10 years, April Larkin (member name: retiree54) has been thinking very seriously about having liposuction but she was frightened to go under the knife. Approaching her 55th birthday, she decided that it will be “now or never” to remove her self-described “huge Buddha belly”.
See April’s Before & After Plastic Surgery Pictures Album.
April elected Dr. Groot from Alberta, Canada, to perform her Tumescent Liposuction - a doctor she had known for 15 years. With 4350 CC removed from the upper/lower abs and hips, April already lost a total of 12 inches and 6 lbs and knows that she’ll loose more within the next 3-6 months.
The choice of the procedure and the encouragements she truly needed, April received it when she found the Make Me Heal website. She was able to ask doctors and real patients on the Plastic Surgery Message Boards and watched hundreds of plastic surgery pictures from the online library.
In part because of her American Indian origins, April prefers to use natural treatments and Arnica Montana helped her greatly with the recovery. Having gone throug the journey, April now recommends to everyone who would consider Liposuction: “remember, we all heal and the benefits far outweigh the procedure. You do forget the pain and are just amazed with the results up to 6-12 months. Liposuction is safe now and changes your life dramatically for the better.”
Dr. Groot from Alberta, Canada performed April’s liposuction.
Make Me Heal: When did you first have the idea to have your procedure?
April: I first had the idea for liposuction around 10 years ago but at that time, it was not the right timing as I needed money and was kind of scared by the idea…
Make Me Heal: What were your motivations behind your decision to have the procedure?
April: I am 55 years young and thought now or never. I had retired from my job, saved the money and was truly disgusted with huge Buddha belly…I have exercised, eat pretty health, had a stable weight for a few years but held onto that Buddha belly.
Make Me Heal: How long did it take you to make a decision and was it an easy or difficult one to make?
April: When I finally made the decision I phoned right away and made the appointment so I wouldn’t change my mind.
Make Me Heal: Did your family, friends, and any other people in your close circle give you support, opposition, or did you make this decision without considering them?
April: I truly respect my mate’s opinion so when he said why not you have wanted this for a long time I knew it was right and he said the procedures are so safe now. I was hesitant to tell my friends, as I didn’t want negative feedback. Also in case things didn’t turn out. I wasn’t working so that was not an issue, thank goodness.
Make Me Heal: How did you research the procedure and come to decide on this particular procedure?
April: I googled everything I could think of to read…lots of testimonials on many sites, every kind of liposuction procedure and what was the newest and safest. But my real break through came when I came upon MMH website. I talked and talked with the forum and read about everyone’s results and before and after photos. Then I knew for sure I wanted it done now and I would have the support I needed.
Make Me Heal: Please discuss if you used any of Make Me Heal’s resources.
April: I devoured everything I could think of with MMH resources. I looked at all the before and after photos. I read past posts of results and healing. I asked Dr Mani questions. I posted lots of messages. I used all of the recovery products and did not know of these before. My biggest friend was Arnica Gel, which I am sure, helped all my tremendous bruising to be gone in 2 weeks and also the arnica montana tablets. Then I moved onto EMU oil which I still use 5 months post op. There are tremendous healing qualities with this oil.
Make Me Heal: How did you come to choose your doctor?
April: I had 2 PS in our area that I knew were highly recommended and on the Board of College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada. This way they are certified Plastic Surgeons. I had only 1 consultation with each. But Dr Groot was the one I chose not for lower cost, but he did turn out to be lower, but because I had known him for about 15 years as I went to see him for consultations of my moles and dermatology issues. Now he only specializes in surgery.
Make Me Heal: Please discuss if you have any role in deciding the type of technique used for your surgery by the doctor?
April: Not really but the pre-ops and post-op instructions were so clear and many pages of what to expect that I realized after talking with Dr Groot I was in good hands. This was the first procedure I ever have done like this so I felt he was highly efficient and would know the best and it sure turned out that way. I had done lots of research to know exactly what he was explaining.
Make Me Heal: How did you prepare for the surgery?
April: This was an area that MMH site was truly a blessing. I had everything ready the day before surgery. Also I read on the site about not using any Advil or Aspirin or V-E that causes bleeding 2 weeks before surgery. My PS said that also. We bought a recliner chair for the first few weeks which isn’t necessary but I lived in that chair for 2 weeks. Good for elevation and easy to get in and out of. Then tons of lemons for water for elimination and fluid retention. Low sodium meals frozen so you can pop it in the micro or oven and is easy. The clinic provided a take me home bag with all my pads and tape and gauze pads for the incisions. I drained heavy for 3-4days. Also the before photos and after photos. This has been a lifesaver. To see the changes and document the inches and to know the procedure is dramatic. My husband was ready and he assisted me greatly. You can be quite concerned about the bruising and leaking with blood (not much blood just liquid) that is good to have a support system in place and for them to see photos on line that might happen to you also. I learned from the site all the post op symptoms that might occur and the healing process from tightness to lumps to swelling which kept me a lot calmer and when I was upset I wrote the forum and received genuine caring from all the members and MMH coordinators. After the surgery I purchased 3 garments from MMH on line. Moving into smaller sizes as healing progressed. It was amazing how fast delivery was as we live in Northern Canada and the friendly assistance. The quality was excellent.
Make Me Heal: How were you feeling the night before the surgery and on the moments before the surgery itself?
April: The night before surgery I was scared. Was I doing the right thing, was I too vain, was I going to die, would I turn out like a freak, would he do a good job and how painful would it be. I thought of all the years of wanting this and I was very happy I finally made the decision but true jitterbugs. But the next morning I was calm. There was no going back and the time was now. It was like a true peace came over and the office called and asked me to come in 2 hours earlier. Even better let’s go and I was excited. I took my garbage bags to cover the seats for leakage and a blanket in case I got cold. Also we live 1hour from home so we would have to stop at 20minutes and have me walk after surgery so not to develop blood clots.
Make Me Heal: How was the recovery process?
April: It was harder for me. I read online some had a walk in the park. Out and about after 1 week and into exercise after 2 weeks. I was in my recliner for 11 days then I started to feel better. I couldn’t have massage, as I was too tender until about 3 ½ months. I did massage myself very carefully and stretched a lot with the tightness. Within 3 weeks my side tightness had left. I started riding my exercise bike after 3 weeks at home slowly.
Make Me Heal: Please discuss what side effects you experienced?
April: When I came home the PS asked me to have a shower at 4 hours and change the pads. Well I was frozen so there was no pain but I passed out in the shower and hubby was ready to pick me up and I got sick. I was told this might happen. So we were ready. Just the removal of the compression garment, rush of blood and then draining and weakness from surgery. I was leaking a lot for 4 days and I could not change my bandages as I was so bruised it freaked me. I couldn’t look. So Hubby did it all.
Make Me Heal: What were the worse parts of the recovery?
April: Of course my bruising but then the day after surgery my abs felt like they were falling out and all squishy. Like a bowl of jello and not attached. When I stood up it felt like everything was ripping not pain just ripping and tight. Then I got the abs of steel like a girdle around my waist. My first stage garment cut into my sides so much with the clasps and zippers but I made myself wear it for the full 2 weeks and I am happy I did. I only needed pain pills for the first 3-4days. Then of course lumps and tightness on my sides.
Make Me Heal: Did anyone help you during the recovery?
April: My dear hubby alone and of course MMH site I talked with every day.
Make Me Heal: Please discuss the pain or discomfort you experienced during the recovery?
April: I had a lot of numbness on my lower abs and hips. So most of my discomfort was tightness and lumps. I also gained 16lbs fluid after surgery so swelled huge then after day 6 lost the fluid. It was the ripping and tearing feeling that scared me. Also getting in and out of the car was very hard.
Make Me Heal: How well prepared were you for the recovery from physical, emotional, and mental respects?
April: I was very prepared and knew recovery would be a slower process.
Make Me Heal: Did you do any research to make your recovery smoother? What are your top recovery tips to other patients?
April: I learned a lot of tips on what to use, the healing process and support from MMH
Make Me Heal: What are your top recovery tips to other patients?
April: I don’t know if people want to hear this but patience. Patience. Patience. It is not an overnight fix and don’t expect miraculous results immediately. Between swelling, lumps and roping it can get to be quite distressing. But then some people bounce right back depending on much fat you have removed. With minimal fat your recovery is a lot faster. But it is all worth it.
Make Me Heal: How long did you take off from work?
April: I am retired, yahoo!! No work.
Make Me Heal: How happy are you with the results?
April: I am amazed, elated, happy, and joyful. Is that enough? I have lost 19.25 inches from my lipoed areas and down 2 sizes in clothes. Also I have a lot more energy and just so much happier.
Make Me Heal: How has your makeover impacted your life from personal, social, career, and other respects?
April: I have felt reborn. I feel like my abs are back to my 20’s. I still have wrinkles on my face. I have thighs that do touch but with my belly flatter I am happy. I will never be 20 and don’t expect perfection in the rest of my body but I just feel free of that heaviness and band around my middle. I can wear my clothes with pride and I walk and stand taller. My trainer has seen an incredible deal of improvement and motivation in my workouts and sees me as a new person who is stronger and prouder.
Make Me Heal: Would you have done anything differently if you had the chance?
April: No everything has taken its time in healing and truly I have learned patience.
Make Me Heal: What is your final word of advice to other people considering the procedure you had?
April: We all heal and the benefits far outweigh the procedure. You do forget and are just amazed with the results up to 6-12 months. It is safe now and changes your life dramatically for the better.
Make Me Heal: Was Make Me Heal beneficial to you along your journey?
April: Make Me Heal was my lifeline when I was scared or concerned or happy or elated. It has been so much fun to get positive feedback and truly caring people along my road of healing. Thank you.

Olivia Newton John may need to write a follow-up to her popular 1980’s anthem song “Let’s Get Physical” and call it “Let’s Get Plastical”, as the Grammy award-winning 58-year-old actress-singer sure seems to love the knife.
Back in 2005 Olivia Newton-John said “I haven’t had plastic surgery yet, though I would never say never. However, I would like to think that I won’t because the thought of it is an uncomfortable one. I think I’m just fortunate, genetically, and I’ve always said that I want to age gracefully like my mum did.” So she denied ever having plastic surgery, yet photos of Newton-John throughout the last decade just don’t add up at all. By these photos, it seems she had upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelift, and maybe even a browlift (forehead lift). Presently, her neck looks clean and taut. She has a tight jaw line and a lack of jowls as well. These are all tell-tale signs of a facelift. If you rewind back to the late 1990’s, pictures of Olivia show that she had the beginnings of sagging skin on her lower face, which by now should have been serious jowls. The star’s eyes are wide, refreshed, and peculiarly lacking in excess skin hanging over in her upper and lower eyelids. Also, there is little under eye puffiness, all signs of eyelid surgery. For someone at her age, it is extremely rare to look this young without the aid of the knife.

Victoria Posh Beckham may have finally admitted to having breast implants. Forever in denial about having plastic surgery, Victoria may have unintentionally slipped up during her NBC television special “Victoria Beckham: Coming to America“ and fessed up about having fake boobs.
During the intellectually numbing show, Victoria is seen at a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game, where she is given the honor of throwing the first pitch. As she walks off the field, Victoria confides how worried she was that her fast pitch would dislodge her implants. Miraculously, Victoria’s D-size knockers remain intact.
“I really thought that one of my silicones was going to fly out of my armpit then,“ says Victoria to the camera.
Later on the show, Victoria Beckham tries to cover up for her boob job, saying that her breasts are “not that big in the flesh“.
Victoria Beckham has repeatedly denied in public and to the media that she’s had breast implants, sometimes going to great lengths to deny this claim on television shows watched by millions of viewers.
Victoria Beckham’s breasts are clearly the product of a breast augmentation, as the former Spice Girl has gone from A or small B-cups to the 32D-cup realm. The blossoming of her breasts was achieved, ironically, while Victoria’s body shrunk as she lost a large amount of weight to achieve her current petite frame. The result is not very natural-looking on her size-zero body and the implants are too round, hard-looking, and have an unnaturally high “shelf-like“ projection.
Recently, Victoria Beckham commented on her breasts and how everyone has it wrong about their size.
“Everyone keeps going on about my tits, but they’re only a 32B.”
Of course, this claim could not be farther than the truth and a poll from The Sun confirms that its readers did not believe this lie either. Results of the poll showed that 58% of readers believed that Victoria’s breasts are 32C-cups, while 25% believed that her breasts were D-size or bigger, and only a minority of 17% believed that they are 32B’s. In reaction to Victoria’s lie, some people have joked in her defense that perhaps Victoria was really talking about her nipples being 32B’s, not her breasts. She deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Victoria’s television show was panned by critics and came in third in the time slot it aired. In other news, Victoria Beckham is also planning a reunion world tour with the rest of the Spice Girls to debut in December in Los Angeles. Being that Make Me Heal is based in this town, its spies will be sure to get good seats and inspect Victoria’s rack from up close for authenticity.

Kris Renigar (member name: krisren) is 45 years old and has a stunning silhouette that drives her husband crazy and…many others in
See Kris’s Before & After Plastic Surgery Pictures Album.
After her twin boys and a c-section that left her with a roll of fat hanging over a long scar and major stretch marks, Kris tried endless new diets and exercises to lose the excess fat. But none of it worked and she got so discouraged that she stopped all her efforts and gained…some more weight.
Last summer, Kris’s life changed when she stumbled on the Make Me Heal website and saw some of the plastic surgery pictures and stories on the Make Me Heal Message Boards that seemed almost like miracles. Soon after, she made a consultation with Dr. Aldea and decided to go under the knife for a full tummy tuck and some muscle repair.
This surgery has had a great impact not only on her overall appearance (she dropped from a 10-12 dress size to a 8 dress size) but also on her health. Her plastic surgery motivated Kris to eat healthier and work out more. Not only she lost weight and reduced her cholesterol, but she is now active and feels much better in her everyday life. Kris’s results are so stunning that two other colleagues of hers who were inspired by her example are now scheduled for a tummy tuck this summer.
Kris’ best advice for anyone who is considering surgery is to remember that “it will make you LOOK better, but you will still have flaws. You cannot have a perfect body, no one does. Not even models. So you should have the surgery to make you feel better. If you have realistic expectations and a good doctor, this surgery can be the best thing you ever did for yourself!”
Dr. Aldea from
Make Me Heal: When did you first have the idea to have your procedure?
Kris: I had been seriously considering this procedure for about a year. I had been basically obsessed with my fat tummy for about 15 years. I was a very small person before I had twins 19 years ago. My twin boys weighed almost 7 lbs each. That is 13 lbs of baby! And I had a c-section so I was left with a roll of fat hanging over my scar and major stretch marks. It was pretty disgusting.
Make Me Heal: What were your motivations behind your decision to have the procedure?
Kris: At first I felt that the issue was weight, so I spent 15 years trying everything to lose the same 20 lbs over and over. I would diet and exercise and lose weight but I never looked any better so I would get discouraged and gain weight again. I tried everything that came along from fen-fen to ear stapling! The result was that I felt terrible about myself. Every single day for 15 years I thought about my ‘weight’ constantly.
Make Me Heal: How long did it take you to make a decision and was it an easy or difficult one to make?
Kris: About a year ago i decided that I needed help if I was ever going to get my self esteem back. That’s when I began to think about plastic surgery of some kind. I started doing research on the internet thinking that I would just need maybe lipo.
Make Me Heal: How did you come to choose your doctor?
Kris: I was lucky enough to find my doctor on the first consult. As soon as Dr. Aldea showed me the vision he had for me and explained that I needed muscle repair, I knew it made sense. The problem wasn’t my weight, i was close to my ideal weight but my tummy looked terrible. I still wanted to do more research though. However, I was scared to set my expectations too high. I couldn’t really believe that I could actually get results like that. I figured I would only see a small improvement if any, but I decided to go for it.
Make Me Heal: Did your family, friends, and any other people in your close circle give you support, opposition, or did you make this decision without considering them?
Kris: My husband was with me all the way and has really supported my decision to have this surgery. When I did finally tell my sons and my mom they too were supportive and stood by me, I couldn’t have made it without them. After I made the decision and set my surgery date, the months leading up to it were nerve racking. I almost picked up the phone and cancelled so many times. There was the guilt about the money, the worry about who would take care of my house and family while I recovered, but mostly the fear that it would all be a waste. I was so afraid that I would spend all that money and go through the whole thing and I would look the same or maybe just a little better. But my family kept saying, everything will work out, it is worth a try.
Make Me Heal: How did you research the procedure and come to decide on this particular procedure?
Kris: I stumbled on the Make Me Heal last summer and some of the pictures and stories I saw there seemed almost like miracles. I would go online and look at all the pics at MMH and other places and I would just try to hold on and hope for the best.
Make Me Heal: How was the recovery process?
Kris: The morning of my surgery, I was really calm and just wanted to get it over with. I just thought-whatever happens…happens. I never believed I would wake up with a flat tummy! The first time I got a look at my flat tummy with no stretch marks my mouth dropped. I NEVER allowed myself to expect anything like that. I honestly couldn’t believe it!
Make Me Heal: How was the recovery process?
Kris: My recovery went very smooth. My doctor told me to get up and move around as much as possible and I think this is what helped me have an easy recovery.
Make Me Heal: Please discuss the pain or discomfort you experienced during the recovery?
Kris: By day 3, I was getting up and walking slowly around in my house for 10 or so minutes several times a day. I would only sit for an hour or so, then I would make sure I got up. Sometime I would even get up during the night at least once and walk around for a few minutes. I know everyone heals differently, but I believe that moving around really helped me heal faster. I would advise anyone having this surgery to not lay around or sit too much, it will only make you stiff and sore. Get up as much as you can and move around slowly. The only pain I really had was from the muscle repair. It felt like I had done about a million situps! But every time I looked in the mirror I couldn’t believe the results I saw and it was so worth it.
Make Me Heal: How long did you take off from work?
Kris: I took two weeks off work. Before my surgery I didn’t tell anyone at work about it, mostly because I really didn’t believe the surgery was going to ‘work’ and I would be embarrassed because I was still fat. But when I went back I told everyone who asked (and some who didn’t) because I was so excited about my results I wanted to share! Everyone had almost the same reaction—they want a TT too! Two close friends are actually getting a TT this summer.
Make Me Heal: How has your makeover impacted your life?
Kris: I think the biggest impact of my surgery has been on my health. I have really been motivated to make some better lifestyle choices since my surgery. I have been eating healthier and working out. My weight is down, my stress is down…even my cholesterol is down! It’s almost like I feel that it is worth the effort to eat right and exercise now–I look better so I want to feel better too. I guess my only regret is that I waited so long, I should have had this done long ago. I spent years being unhappy with myself, what a waste of time!
Make Me Heal: Was Make Me Heal beneficial to you along your journey?
Kris: I would like to thank everyone at MMH, the pictures and stories there really helped me and made me feel that I could do this. I spent a lot of time reading the message boards and looking at pictures and all the information I got there was accurate and helpful. And to everyone who posted their pictures and told their story: you are helping people all the time!! Also, thanks to Dr. Aldea. My husband jokes that I am the girl who really got cut in half by the magician. I agree!
Make Me Heal: What is your final word of advice to other people considering the procedure you had?
Kris: Anyone who is considering this surgery, my best advice is to do it for the right reasons. You can have this surgery to make you LOOK better, but you will still have flaws. You cannot have a perfect body, no one does. Not even models. So you should have the surgery to make you feel better. If you have realistic expectations and a good doctor, this surgery can be the best thing you ever did for yourself!
I hope that my experience helps someone else, thanks for reading my story.
