Well, I'm getting 3 different opinions before I make up my mind. My ex plastic surgeon, who I love, but he isn't doing much cutting anymore and I want an honest opionion - I may need to be cut, that would be a whole other consideration. I just don't want to spend $1000s and be unhappy.
I'm seeing Maureen Meunke? Not thrilled with her just the way I was treated on the phone, have a feeling this isn't going to work out.
My last consult is with Dr. Hedden, his wife was just so helpful and nice, I have a feeling I will end up there if the fit is right.
I've seen Dr. Grotting in the past and basically my only issue with him, besides he's about the most expensive PS in Birmingham, is he wanted to completely do a overhaul on my body, completely!!!! Very unnecessary and I don't ever think you should suggest things that a patient doesn't ask about. I'm happy with a great deal of what's going on, but he basically told me everything was out of wack, my face, butt, arms, nose, chin, legs, back...he was full of it. I'm not being boostful, but 80% of that didn't need to be touched at all and the other 20%, well if I was Ivana Trump I may consider it. Just didn't like that he was being a PS pusher. I'm not a plastic person, just trying to fix those things I don't have any control over.
Some facial surgery will definately be in my future, but it will never be a complete face lift and I'm very fortunate to have youthful skin/appearance...very few lines, no wrinkles and I'm close to my 48th.
Thanks,
Cheryl
I'm extremely interested in knowing your story. I'm 47 and will be 48 in September, thinking of Smart Lipo but now I just discovered Vaser Lipo? Saw my Plastic Surgeon today about Smart Lipo and got my estimate...expected the cost, but I'm having a hard time believing the my older stretched skin will truly be transformed enough for me to consider it worthwhile.
I'm phyically active, athletic actually. But I've had the yoyo of losing 125 lbs 3 times in my life leaving me with loose skin and some fat that just won't disappear no matter how much I work out of watch my diet.
I'm 5'9", avg sz 4 to 6.
Any info is greatly appreciated, including who your surgeon is.
I love my surgeon, he did my breast augmentation and extended tummy tuck w/ a tad of lipo approx. in 2003.
Thank you and I hope your results produce a rockin' body!
