“Sorry I Waited So Long for Lower Body Lift”

Pros:
+My butt is nice and high and super plump.
+My waist is just that, a waist! They took 8 inches off completely around weighing approximately 12 pounds. Wh00t!

++ I am only 3 weeks post op, but the doctor says I will see greater results at the 6 week mark and even more within a few months when the swelling completely subsides. Already, I cannot believe my eyes. From the moment I woke up from surgery I was trying to look at my stomach and was so upset I could not because of the binder. When the surgeon came in the next morning I was high as a kite on hydromorphine (i had confused the nurse button for the pain button in the middle of the night but didn't care haha), he removed the binder to check out their handy work, i looked down and started giggling like a freak. And now, WOW even still when I remove the binder to bathe I cannot believe my eyes.

+ Even now, while I may still have discomfort it is easily controlled by one alleve in the morning before i start my day.
+Doctor cleaverly admitted me under a "23 hour admit", saved loads of money while still getting great care.
+Surgery only took 3.5 hours!
+Recovery is a hump but well worth it to the final results

Cons:
- I did develop an infection at 2 weeks because I felt so damn good I decided to go out and run errands and take a mile walk. I had a lot of pent up energy from sitting/laying around for two weeks. When I woke up the next morning I had the chills, a terribly high fever, super dizzy, a nasty cold soar, and in horrendous pain.
+ Just one day after being on an antibiotic and I felt better, like i could go on a mile walk through the trails again. But....I think I learned my lesson, I will wait for the go ahead from the doc first.

You get what you pay for. If you cannot afford it, don't try searching for a bargain. You will be disappointed and possibly deformed.

While the doctor himself was superb, his nurse was awful. Several weeks in I
developed problems with the incision line and had a rather large whole in the center of my back. after 3 weeks or so having the doctor care for it it again opened even more. immediately I phoned the office.6 hours later I received a phone call from the nurse who was either drunk or stoned on pain meds (she was sluring her words and apathetic to me BLEEDING all over my couch, was told it was, whatever the cause, my fault. I went to my primary care doctor who helped me heal by sending me to a specialist. It took the office and doctor nearly 3 months before they realized I had not returned for a follow up. So much for a caring hand. I have only one finger I want to show his nurse Louise.
