Two Years Later: Sigrid’s Journey After Abdominoplasty

Two years ago, I was a single mother raising three boys. My priority was solely their well-being, and I completely neglected myself as a woman.
After carrying triplets, my body lost its aesthetic appearance, mainly due to a drooping “apron” of abdominal skin. After my C-section, for over two years, I lived with this feeling of how this hanging belly tormented and held me back every day. I couldn’t even think about my lost femininity.
I tried exercising, watched my diet, wore supportive garments daily to feel somewhat better, but ultimately, it didn’t get rid of the belly. Then I made a decision that completely changed my life. I walked through the doors of Christinas Clinic to undergo abdominoplasty and restore my feminine body. Today, I feel beautiful again and wish to share my experience and feelings and encourage other mothers who might be in a similar situation.

The Journey of Recovery

The first weeks after the operation were challenging, especially with children, but I am very grateful to my loved ones who helped me every step of the way.
During post-op, I felt dull pain and slight discomfort, but I was well-prepared by the professional team of Christina Clinic and managed well. With each day, my condition significantly improved, and I never once regretted taking this journey.

The First Changes

For the first time after the operation, I looked at myself in the mirror and felt a new zest for life immediately bloom within me. My belly was smooth and firm, and the apron that had devastated my confidence was gone from the first day. Even the post-operative swelling did not diminish my joy. Physically, it was easier to move, which motivated me to take further steps toward my health and well-being, because let’s face it, abdominoplasty was a huge push towards a better me, but to maintain a good appearance, I need to take care of my body and physique.

A More Active and Healthier Lifestyle

Two years later, my life has become much more active. I started exercising regularly and watching my diet because I wanted to maintain the results of the surgery. Running and working out have slowly become daily routines for me, and I feel both physically and mentally better than ever before.

Self-Confidence

Previously, I feared social events and often avoided them because I felt uncomfortable in my body. Clothes hid it, but not completely, as there was a lot of excess abdominal skin. Today, I enjoy gatherings with friends, family trips, and I wear bikinis at the beach with great joy. The confidence that began with the decision for abdominoplasty continues to inspire me to be more open and active in society.

Looking Back at the Decision

Thinking back to this journey, I am extremely happy with my decision. Even the challenges of recovery do not outweigh the positive changes and the sense of self I live with today. I am extremely grateful that I chose Christina Clinic, who, with their unwavering professionalism and warm reception, gave me back my confidence and joy of life. The thorough reception at the clinic, where everything is considered, and the opportunities needed to achieve the best results for the patient (such as quality support garments, post-operative scar treatment, etc.), play a significant role in all this.

Recommendation to Others

To everyone considering similar steps, I definitely recommend: explore your options, consult with specialists, and do not be afraid to take steps for your well-being, it is worth it!
Consider other factors when choosing a clinic, beyond just the operating surgeon and the price of the surgery. For example, where the operation takes place, who monitors the patient, what are the pre-operative procedures for assessing the patient’s health, how the clinic operates if complications arise, and the readiness in case of a sudden health decline, etc. Value your beauty and health and trust them only in the best hands. This is how I achieved my desired results and a better quality of life, something I hope everyone who undertakes a similar journey will experience. Two years later, I can say that it was one of the best decisions of my life, and I would walk through the doors of Christina Clinic with no reservations.
