Patient Profile: Tracey Smith

A closer look at our patient’s journey through the process of Abdominoplasty and Flank Liposuction with Dr. Cluett.

Patient Review

My name is Tracey Smith. I am 53 yrs old and I have been with my hubby since grade 11. High school sweethearts. I have two beautiful sons and a tiny baby girl up in heaven. I am a very busy person, I work with special needs children, and I work in the office as well for my hubby. I look after our pets, my goats, I walk daily and visit the gym 3-4 times a week.

This surgery (Tummy Tuck and Flank Liposuction) changed my life. I’ve been working out my whole life, exercise has always been a part of my life. The last 2-3 years with a change of life and menopause my metabolism slowed down to the point I was watching everything I ate, and nothing was working.

We were on a fabulous vacation last march nothing fit the way I wanted it too. I decided enough was enough. I love clothing fashion shopping, all my beautiful things weren’t fitting the way I wanted them too and I wasn’t buying another wardrobe. We came back from Jamaica I contacted Dr. Cluett and set up a consultation.

After my consultation my mind was set, I’m doing this for me! My deposit was paid and waited for my surgery day. A couple of days before surgery I saw Dr. Cluett again. I was excited and nervous all at the same time. I couldn’t wait to get rid of my “gut” as I called it. I was so done with not fitting into anything anymore. I look into mirror and see a different person on outside as I feel on the inside. I’m fabulous but I just wasn’t looking it. She looked at me and smiled “I’m going to carve you like the Mona Lisa.”

The day of surgery I was so scared, happy and so excited. Let me tell you something she did not disappoint. It's unbelievable. Me now is no comparison to me then, it's unbelievable. I’m so happy with my results. She has changed my life and I cannot say enough good things about her. She did what she said she was going to do. I was fabulous before but now I feel as if I’m in a dream and someone is going to wake me up and give me my old body back.

There are changes I have made for myself to stay as fabulous as I am. I watch everything I eat, I never overeat. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, this is to take care of myself, I’m not 20 anymore. I wear what I want whenever I want. I have nothing to hide anymore. I do tell everyone this is the best decision I have ever made for myself and my hubby (can't keep his hands off me).

Dr. Joy Cluett did exactly what she said she was going to do. She carved me like the Mona Lisa. She changed my life for the better. This is by far the best money we have ever spent. I thank her and her team for that.
