"After my divorce, I lost over 120 pounds. When I got married, I was tiny with a small frame. I only weighed 100 pounds on my wedding day! But I had a large baby and my body changed over the course of my relationship," says Kelly of Valencia. "When I dropped the weight, I felt even worse about myself. There was so much extra skin and my boobs were totally gone," says the Heller Plastic Surgery patient.
"In Kelly's case, she didn't just need implants to restore the lost volume that was the downside of her very-successful weight loss," says Dr. Justin Heller, a board-certified plastic surgeon. "I also gave her an internal lift, which results in a more attractive, natural slope of the breast without the scarring and additional healing required by traditional lifting methods."
"Dr. Heller has such a wonderful attitude. He just made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning. I loved his office, I loved his staff! Everyone was very nice, friendly and helpful. Plus, they were great about payment options." says Kelly, whom also received a tummy tuck at Heller Plastic Surgery.
"I look in the mirror now and I FEEL AWESOME! I look better than I did in my 20s. My breasts
were off center before the surgery; now they are centered the way they should be. I didn't feel
anything after the breast augmentation. I was in no pain at all. I'm a single mom and, besides not lifting much, I was able to go on with life almost immediately. And now my 120-pound weight loss actually looks great, thanks to the tummy tuck he did! No extra skin! The staff is so kind and they take care of everything. Most importantly, though: Dr. Heller made me look amazing!"

"I hated the way I looked after my weight loss," she says. "And Dr. Heller gave me a flat tummy and the cutest little belly button! I have actual muscle lines now! He took a full eight inches of skin off my stomach and even lifted the sides of my legs as well, all while adding so much shape and curve to my waist. I wasn't happy at all before my surgery. I honestly felt like crap. Now I feel great. I have no issue walking around in a bikini or my underwear. The scars are totally hidden and they healed beautifully - nothing like my C-section scar. He made such a difference to my body and in my life. No other surgeon - and I met with a few - offered these kinds of options or results. I am so confident in Dr. Heller's abilities that I have already brought in a friend to see him."
Says the Ivy-league educated doctor: "The combination of the natural-looking implants with the body-contouring tummy tuck and removal of loose skin is often referred to as a Mommy Makeover, since so many mothers are left with 'baby pooches' and deflated breasts after pregnancy and nursing. It's rewarding to see these moms, who give so much to their families, walk in with a renewed sense of confidence post-op! Seeing Kelly so happy now is one of the primary reasons I love what I do."
Heller Plastic Surgery is located in the Atrium Building next to City Hall in Valencia. The comfortable, well-appointed office is now accepting patients and scheduling
complimentary consultations.
