Catherleen’s Skin Removal Journey — Q&A

How much weight did you lose before having surgery?

I went from around 125 kg down to 60 kg, so I lost approximately 65 kg. After such a significant weight loss, I was left with a lot of excess skin.

What procedures have you had?

I had a 360° circumferential tummy tuck, breast surgery with implants, and an arm reduction to remove excess skin. I’m also planning to have a facelift as the next stage of my journey.

How much skin has been removed?

Around 3.5 kg of skin has been removed so far. This included excess skin from my stomach, arms and breasts.

Why did you choose to have surgery in Thailand?

The value was a major factor. If I had all of these procedures done in Australia, it would have cost me more than AUD $180,000.

For me, Thailand offered much better value while still providing a very high standard of care.

What was your experience with the hospital and aftercare?

The care has been outstanding. The doctors, nurses and staff were excellent, and I felt very well looked after throughout the experience.

What was your consultation with Dr. Ring like?

I appreciated how direct and transparent Dr. Ring was during my consultation. He was very clear about what procedures I needed and also what I didn’t need.

That gave me confidence that the recommendations were based on what was right for me.

How was the pain after surgery?

Once my pain medication was adjusted to suit what I needed, the pain became very minimal.

It felt more like tightness than actual pain.

What would you say to someone considering skin removal surgery?

For me, it has been about quality care and having access to great surgeons.

If this is something you’ve been considering, don’t let other people’s doubts make the decision for you. Do your research, understand what’s involved and make the choice that feels right for you.
