TUMMY TUCK
After having 4 children I was left with loose skin and fat that hung over the top of my underwear not to mention the muscle movement that made me look pregnant. For years this has made me very self conscious and I have found myself wearing leggings and baggy cover up clothes all the time. A night out would fill me with dread!! So after a long discussion with my very supportive partner

Dr Siddiqui is brilliant! I’ve been to see him twice now for some lip fillers and my results have been incredible. I am so pleased. He knows exactly what he is doing and uses his experience and expertise to advise how to get the perfect result. He’s a genius.
I have received a quality service from Mr Siddiqui and nearly three months in the results get better each day. Following a good amount of research I felt that Mr Siddiqui had some great results for tummy tucks and I’m so pleased to have chosen him as a surgeon. My breast augmentation is also coming along well too. I have followed his instructions to the letter and have had no problems at all.

Frequently Asked questions
You can initially consult your family physician or GP who can treat the condition with pain killers and refer you to physiotherapy. For persistent severe pain you will be referred to a pain specialist for evaluation and management.
Although it is more common in women, CRPS can occur in anyone at any age, with a peak at age 40. CRPS is rare in the elderly. Very few children under age 10 and almost no children under age 5 are affected.
The key symptom is prolonged severe pain that may be constant. It has been described as "burning", "pins and needles" sensation, or as if someone were squeezing the affected limb. The pain may spread to the entire arm or leg, even though the injury might have only involved a finger or toe.
One of the theories suggested for CRPS isan auto immune cause. If auto immunity is suspected, testing for auto antibodies (antinuclear antibody) may be performed.
There is no cure for CRPS. However with medications, physiotherapy and counseling most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms. A few patients suffer from severe persistent symptoms.
While it is not guaranteed, it is common for CRPS to spread in many cases. If CRPS does spread, it is usually to nearby areas. For example, if you have CRPS in your arm, it may spread to your hand or shoulder. If you have pain in your leg, it may spread to your foot or buttocks.
Unfortunately, CRPS will not simply go away. This is why early diagnosis and treatment is critical. In some cases, people can go undiagnosed with CRPS for years; if there is a possibility that a person may have CRPS, going to see a doctor is imperative.
