How do you feel about yourself now that you've had plastic surgeries for your body?
Now, I feel transformed, like a butterfly.

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

I lost more than 100lbs. with a doctor's help (bariatric surgery). The weight loss saved my life, and I worked hard, but my body looked awful.

Loose skin and fat still remained. I started saving for plastic surgery to give my body shape, tighter skin and better proportion.

How did you hear of Galumbeck Plastic Surgery?

My bariatrics counselor mentioned him as someone who could help.

How would you describe your lifestyle?
My weight loss gave me a second chance. I'm committed to a healthy lifestyle.

What procedures did Dr. Galumbeck suggest to you? Which did he perform?
First, I told him what I wanted. Then, he told me how he could help me achieve my goals. I could have all the procedures I need at one time. He helped me to understand the plan he had for me.

We finally settled on tummy tuck and breast implants with lift (mastopexy). Those surgeries were performed at Dr. Galumbeck's surgery.


Did you feel that you had options, and a voice in your plastic surgery?
Yes, I believe the doctor listened to me.

What concerns did you have about your surgery?
I wanted a board certified anesthesiologist, and that's who gives anesthesia in Dr. Galumbeck's surgery.

Would you do it again?
I love the results. I don't want to go back to the old me.
