WHAT LED YOU TO CHOOSE RICHMOND SURGICAL ARTS FOR YOUR MOMMY MAKEOVER?
I spent a while searching for a good plastic surgeon and finally found Dr. Lynam. His reviews online were outstanding, and during our consultation, I was really impressed by the photos of his previous surgeries. His attention to detail with incisions and belly button work was so reassuring and really stood out to me.
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE?
After having a child, my body changed, and I gained a significant amount of weight. I was able to lose almost 100 pounds and maintain that loss for a couple of years; however, I eventually decided to undergo plastic surgery. I had worked so hard to shed the weight, and I wanted my body to reflect the effort I had put in and to feel more confident in my own skin.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO SELECT RICHMOND SURGICAL ARTS OVER SIMILAR BUSINESSES?
Everyone in the office is amazing. Every person I interacted with made me feel comfortable, which was very important to me. Dr. Lynam was incredibly confident in his abilities, which gave me a lot of peace about my decision to have these surgeries. He was knowledgeable and explained everything to me in a way that I could easily understand. Also, he creates the best belly buttons in Virginia, haha!
IN WHAT WAYS DID DR. LYNAM AND THE STAFF AT RICHMOND SURGICAL ARTS EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL CARE FOR YOU?
When I met with other surgeons, I often felt like just a dollar sign or another client, and my concerns about price led to me feeling unheard. However, Dr. Lynam and his Patient Care Coordinator, Lauren, changed that. They made me feel like a priority, listening to my needs and answering all my questions. Lauren was always responsive and never made me feel like my inquiries were a bother.
HOW DID DR. LYNAM AND THE STAFF PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND HELP ALLEVIATE ANY ANXIETIES YOU MAY HAVE HAD?
Lauren took the time to thoroughly educate me about what to expect before and after surgery. This made me feel completely prepared for my procedures. Despite feeling nervous, Lauren and Dr. Lynam continuously reassured me and alleviated my fears. I have had friends who had plastic surgeries without knowing what to do before or after, and they were not fully prepared or informed. That wasn't the experience I wanted, and thankfully, it wasn't the experience I had! Before my surgery, Dr. Lynam visited me, which renewed my confidence in him and my decision to have surgery.
HOW HAS THE MOMMY MAKEOVER POSITIVELY IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?
I don’t know if words could ever explain it. I loved my body before, but I am so fully in love with it now and everything it is capable of. My hard work in the gym is visible now; my clothes fit better, I can wear a string bikini and feel so confident! That confidence has affected every area of my life, honestly.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF SOMEONE ASKED YOU ABOUT GETTING A MOMMY MAKEOVER AT RICHMOND SURGICAL ARTS?
I would encourage them to go for it! I've already recommended it to many people. The entire experience, from the consultation to the post-surgery check-ups, was amazing. I've healed beautifully and I want everyone to have the same incredible experience that I had!
WERE THERE ANY ASPECTS OF YOUR PROCEDURE AND EXPERIENCE AT RICHMOND SURGICAL ARTS THAT SURPRISED YOU?
During my post-op journey, I was provided with two garments, which may seem small, but most surgeons do not do that. It was one less thing I had to worry about! My check-ups after surgery were frequent, whereas most surgeons don’t see their patients for a while. It was calming and reassuring to know that everything was going smoothly and according to plan. They were able to address any concerns I had immediately. Dr. Lynam even called me the evening after my surgery to check on me! I am now four months post-op and just had another check-up, and everything has healed beautifully.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE OR ADD?
Don’t settle. When undergoing major surgery, ensuring that your surgeon listens to you and provides advice is crucial. Choose a surgeon who will address all your questions, no matter how silly they may seem. Schedule the initial consultation – that's the first step!
Dr. Lynam and his team at Richmond Surgical Arts can help you take the lead in achieving your desired results, both inside and out. Whether you're considering cosmetic surgery or a non-invasive procedure, scheduling a consultation with them can be the first step towards reaching your goals.
