Case Study - Tummy Tuck

Cheryl Couser

I can't stop smiling!

People are constantly complimenting Cheryl and asking for her advice on where they should go for similar treatments. Some friends and family thought she’d had a boob job to begin with because her posture had changed, and she was walking tall and proud, instead of hunched over and slouching. Cheryl said: “Now my stomach is gone, attention is drawn to my breasts which I have to admit look a lot bigger!”

A couple of years ago, Cheryl discovered a fibroid growing in her stomach - it grew so big that she looked 8 months pregnant. Cheryl was referred to hospital where she had her womb and one ovary removed. This caused excessive weight gain, which left her miserable and self-conscious.

Reflecting upon her experience, Cheryl said: “Enough was enough. I was fed up of wearing baggy clothes to hide my stomach and my unhappiness was beginning to put a strain on my marriage. I never wanted to go out with my friends or get changed in front of my husband! All of my self-confidence had completely disappeared.”

With this in mind, Cheryl began some research on the internet and contacted several cosmetic surgery clinics, none of whom she was happy with. Some told her she was overweight, others told her to wait. After years of frustration, Cheryl wasn’t prepared to wait any longer so she contacted SurgiCare who she found to be efficient, friendly and very caring.

Since having the procedure, Cheryl’s happiness and confidence shines through. She said: “I can’t stop smiling!! I go out now and I feel good! It’s changed the way I look, feel and dress. I don’t have to wear “old ladies clothes” now – I can wear tighter fitting tops and I don’t have to worry about looking pregnant in high waisted dresses.”
