Dr. Wagstrom is amazing, with the help of her staff they were able to coordinate with my gynecologist to do the panniculectomy at the same time as a much needed Total Abdominal Hysterectomy. The procedure went as planned and my recovery is going well. I love this group and she is a wonderful surgeon and special person!
I'm 6-weeks post op breast lift with small implants, tummy tick with muscle repair, and some lipo contouring. I'm 48, 5'5", 160 pounds. I had lost 50 pounds and needed skin removed and wanted some fullness in my breasts. From consult to today, I am completely happy with my experience with Dr. Wagstrom and her caring staff. My incisions are straight and beautiful. My stomach is FLAT and beautiful. My breasts are full and beautiful. I worked for two years to lose the weight and now I feel like my body matches that hard work. I also chose Dr. W for my eye lid procedure a couple of years ago. She did so well, I came back from more.
Carol has yeeears of experience and it shows! She is efficient and pays attention to detail. I’ve always had fabulous results from her work!This review was created as part of a nomination to the RealSelf I Love My Injector Campaign.
Very pleased with my upper/lower blepharoplasty procedure. While Dr. Wagstrom is very nice and did an excellent job on my lids, the nurses at the office are top notch. This office is very customer focused. I ask a lot of questions and they answered every one in a patient and understanding manner. My calls and emails are always answered and it's been easy to get an appointment when I needed to come back for check ups. Dr. Wagstrom has always greeted me with a smile and she loves what she does.
My Tummy Tuck with Dr Wagstrom was great. The results are better than I hoped. Dr Wagstrom was patient and answered all the questions I had before the surgery. Healing went well. The follow-up has been great by both Dr Wagstrom and her staff.
More swelling yesterday responded to light massage. Finally slept. Eating better which makes me feel better. Still hunched. Have a sharp shooting stabbing pain in right groin. Wondering if it's a stitch pull or nerve irritation. Incision is hardening. I still hate being on drugs but Valium and Celebrex is great. I cannot wait to be cleared for Ibuprfen my magic pain med lol. Overall still happy. Pics pod 2 Updated on 19 May 2017: Woke up after about 8 hours of sleep. Felt a little burning throughout the abs but after moving about it's much better. The groin pulling is subsiding thank god. I've had some fat clumps in the drain but the drainage is way down and more serosanguinous. Pain is the best by far today. Wound is approximated and I'm putting on bacitracin. I'm getting cabin fever. Bad. But Monday I get my follow p and I'm hoping I keep getting better. Friends have taken great care of me and believe me when I say you need to surround yourself with only positive vibes. The intermittent depression can get real. Especially if you're active like me. TAKE YOUR STOOL SOFTENER AND HAVE GKYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES AND USE THEM ONE DAY POST OP OR YOULL BE SORRY. I think avoiding constipation is critical. Still tired after small things but feeling more energy everyday.
I had been contemplating for years a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with lift. After doing my research I decided on a surgeon..Dr Lois Wagstrom. I could not be happier about my decision. Dr Wagstom is a compassionate, meticulous, and skilled surgeon. Her staff is equally amazing. I knew immediately after my consult this was my choice. Dr Wagstrom worked to create my desired outcome. Im so pleased with my results. I am three months out now and I have healed up without any issues or concerns. My scars are even and fading to a faint pink, my tummy tuck scar is very low. I did have to go out and buy all new pants, smaller pants! I feel fabulous! If I ever had a question, Carol, Tasha or Katie would immediately take my call or call back after finishing with a patient. They have always been available prior to and after my surgery. Look no further for your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon...Dr Wagstrom is who I recommend if you are considering a procedure. At seven months I will have photos taken again and I plan on posting them. I'm so excited to share my transformation.
Upper and Lower Abdomen tuck, skin removal on both arms, and breast lift with implants. The pain was very tolerable, although I have been told I have a high pain tolerance. The most aggravating part of the surgery was the drain tubes. I had 7 tubes. One in each arm, one in each breast, and 3 in my abdomen.
Dr Wagstrom and her staff are amazing ! I feel so confident with Dr Wagstrom. She is a talented and caring surgeon.Her staff are so supportive and professional. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that I had the best care possible. I truly feel blessed to have Dr Wagstrom and her staff caring for me.
Wonderful doctor and staff. Would not go to anyone else. Made me feel as part of the family. Truly caring and compasionate staff. I had Bilateral mastectomy reconstruction and could not be more pleased. They are very professional and always on time and took what ever time was needed to answer all questions and explain thoroughly the process and what to expect and time frame. Everyone friendly and knowledgeable, very well trained and pastionate about their job.
Normally we use 12 to 16 units on the forehead depending on the patient. Treatment is individualized per patient depending on the depth and the amount of wrinkles.
Fractional Co2 laser resurfacing can slightly elevate the upper eyelid but is not usually the treatment of choice when a patient is a candidate for upper eyelid skin excision (blepharoplasty). You could have a blepharoplasty done at anytime as long as most of your post laser swelling is gone. By your photos it appears that you are ready.
Breasts take about 6-8 weeks literally to start relaxing into shape and for most of the swelling to be gone. One side can also swell more than another. Normally we advise our patients to wait about 3 months to spend money on an expensive bra due to changes in shape and size. It will take normally a full year to completely know what you will look and how your scars will heal.
The horizontal lines of the forehead are caused by motion so you would need to stop the motion or any additional treatment would not be of benefit. You might try Dysport as a 3rd option to try to stop the movement however normally if used in appropriate amounts Botox should do that as well. A browlift would help definitely if it is an option for you. If you opt for the non surgical approach and can get some improvement on your motion then you could try laser resurfacing to help smooth out the remaining wrinkles. Fillers are not best for this type of wrinkle; however, if you wanted to try a filler it might be best to use something thin that could be placed superficially like Beletero.
Normally Botox is fully in effect by 2 weeks. The medial portion of the brow has dropped in your case and you have full movement of the lateral eyebrow. It can be improved by very lightly injecting over the lateral eyebrow with possibly 1 or 2 units per side. That will bring the eyebrow down however it will look more natural until the center of the eyebrow can start lifting again.
