I have considered a Tummy Tuck for over 7 years now and I have decided that 2013 will be my year. I live equally between Houston and San Antonio Tx. I have read alot of reviews from Dr's in both areas but would like as much information as possible. If you are willing to share your physician, costs and results with me, I would greatly appreciate this so that it will ease my mind when making my decision. Thank you.

09/06/12..... I had my first consultation on yesterday and it went well. I was extremely nervous but the Doctor answered all my questions just fine. I have several appointments scheduled because I don't want to settle for one opinion only. I need to have that absolute faith feeling before I know who my doctor will be. This doctor did tell me I needed to lose at least 25 more lbs so it shall began. Wish me luck!

Great review?

Hi imsoready,I have a mommy makeover scheduled for Jan. in Houston w/Dr. Chris Patronella...he has a pg on here which also gives you his website address,both of which have pics....very informative online & in person. He also offers the true form tummy tuck at $9800 & if you were to add any additional procedures he gives discounts for each if done together,which is what I decided to do to save money & healing time...since you heal once & done :) Dr LoMonaco is pretty good as well & offers the Lejour breast lift but I was just so impressed w/the true form tummy & Dr P's character & staff he was the right choice for me,but everyones different. Good luck!
I am in the Houston area and so far I love my doctor. My surgery is scheduled for September 17. I went in for 2 consults with Dr. Paul Gill. After the first consult I paid my deposit and scheduled my surgery. Then got home and started reading on here and making a list of questions. I went back in a week later and he was absolutely wonderful. He answered all my questions. I go in on Tuesday September 11 for my pre-op....check my review for information on my recovery...Good luck
Thank you, I will keep up with your progress and pray for a speedy recovery. I will look into Dr Paul Gill as well, thanks!
