Valencia resident S.R. has had a remarkable 18 months; she beat cancer, started eating clean and working out, lost 85 pounds and, most recently, graduated from college.

"After all that's gone on, good and bad, I wanted to do something 'just for me,'" says the mom. "That's why I began considering a tummy tuck. No matter how much weight I lost or how hard I worked out, my stomach wasn't going anywhere. I had a muffin top after birthing an almost-10-pound baby and losing a lot of weight."

After getting a handful of plastic surgeon referrals from close friends, S.R. began extensively researching local and regional practices. "What I noticed was that, after doing a huge amount of research, Dr. Heller of Heller Plastic Surgery had these stunningly-positive reviews and credentials. No other board-certified plastic surgeon could compare."

She was sold after the consultation. "I've never felt so at ease with a doctor - and his staff is so amazing. After talking to Dr. Heller about my past and my goals, I decided on a Mommy Makeover. I've never had much on top and my breasts shrunk even more after I lost the weight. We selected Gummy Bear implants and they look incredibly natural!"

Now, six weeks after her surgery, S.R. is enjoying her new figure. "I've already had to replace 95 percent of my clothes because everything is so incredibly loose on my waist! I love it! I've lost at least a full pant size and my tummy is flat now! And it looks great. The scar is hidden by even my smallest underwear and it's healing beautifully."

Previous damage was also repaired during the procedure. "Dr. Heller noticed that, after my C-section, I was not properly 'put back together,' so he fixed that during my surgery, along with a herniated belly button we didn't know about. It made a big difference. And the liposuction on my sides really made a huge difference, too. My breasts look natural and full but not 'fake.' I have such a crush on myself when I look in the mirror!"

"I would 100 percent refer Heller Plastic Surgery to everyone," says S.R. "The staff is amazing and so is the doctor. He made himself available to me 24/7 after my procedure and never made it seem like I was bothering him with my questions and calls afterwards. And his team went above and beyond - even visiting me on their lunch break - every step of the way. They are just the sweetest!"
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.
