How do you feel about yourself now that you've had plastic surgeries for your body?
Every day I feel more comfortable with my new shape, and I think, I'm so glad I did this for myself. I'm going to have this shape for a long time!

What did you want to change about yourself that made you consider plastic surgery?

I wanted curves where I'd never had any, and I wanted to get rid of the bulges I've developed.

How did you hear of Galumbeck Plastic Surgery?

Several friends talked to me about him.

breast implants by Virginia Beach Plastic Surgeon Matthew Galumbeck, MD



tummy tuck and saline breast implants with liftHow would you describe your lifestyle?
I'm the mother of teenagers, and I help my husband with his business, and am an avid tennis player.

What procedures did Dr. Galumbeck suggest to you? Which did he perform?
The first thing we talked about was a tummy tuck. I wanted no pooch and longlasting improvement in the abdominal area.

When they answered my questions about managing two recoveries at once through having the breast procedures and the tummy tuck at the same time, I started to give it serious consideration.


Did you feel that you had options, and a voice in your plastic surgery?
Yes, I did.

What concerns did you have about your surgery?
I wanted to work with a surgeon I trusted, of course. One who understood my need to have good results and a good recovery so that I could get back to family/work/church obligations as soon as possible.

Would you do it again?
Yes. Before my surgery, my husband said, "It's this or a Caribbean cruise." No contest. This new shape will make me happy for longer than any cruise.
