Tummy Tuck East Grinstead – The Right Surgeon
This level of care begins with her ethos, putting prospective patients at ease, listening to them, talking through their hopes for surgery and also any concerns.
Or, as Elena says: “The one thing that matters most to me when I am with a patient is empathy.
It is only when you are able to identify and understand your patients problems that you can begin to help resolve them satisfactorily.
“A good surgical outcome is not the only thing that matters. Everything that you do and say to a patient has to come from your heart.”

What, though, of tummy tuck procedures – are they the right course of action?
The abdominoplasty reshapes the stomach and abdomen to give a flatter, smoother profile and also helps remove any lumps that have been resistant to diet and exercise. It is often used to correct changes caused over the passage of time or through childbirth.
The procedure is a straightforward process yet the effects are truly life enhancing, including having the potential to greatly increase self esteem, removing negative self-image issues.
Tummy Tuck – A Simple Process
Elena would restore the shape of the tummy by removing excess skin and fat and then tightening the deep tissue or fascia over the muscles.
Most patients can have between 30 to 50% of the abdominal skin removed, eradicating any stretch marks that might have been present. The tummy button would also be reshaped and the scar well hidden below the underwear line.
There are a few techniques open to Elena and these would, of course, be discussed in your thorough, lengthy consultation.
Timescale wise, post tummy tuck procedure, patients would typically be able to stand straight inside a week and within two to three months would be back to exercise and most other activities.
