This procedure has completely transformed my face and neck. Face is much tighter and under eyes much smoother, and my neck looks 15 years younger. Love the minimal down time too. I now get so many compliments on my skin.
I wanted subtle, natural filler and Botox refreshed look to my face. Dr Lewis delivered exactly what I was hoping for. He explained everything thoroughly and I couldn’t be happier. I will be frequenting him for years to come.
Very nice down to earth doctor. It was my first experience with Botox and he described the procedure and made me feel completely comfortable. I love the results, very natural looking. I will definitely keep coming back.
Dr. Lewis did my Breast augmentation and mini tummy tuck over 12 years ago but this forum wasn't around back then. At least I don't think so. I have since moved away and am now researching face lift docs but Dr. Lewis was absolutely wonderful. Not only was I a patient, I am also a nurse who witnessed how amazing Dr. Lewis is with his patients. He has a wonderful bedside manner and very professional. If I wasn't so far away I would definitely use him again.
I am a very fit and fairly young looking 59 yr old woman (turned 59 2 weeks after surgery) who was always self-conscious about my breasts. I was uneven, much smaller on one side, and could barely fill a padded 34A bra. With my husband's support I decided to have breast augmentation. Still recovering 1 month post-op; I did not realize just how slow the process would be. I have had a lot of sensitivity on my nipples and the skin on my breasts and lots of swelling. Started to feel a little better now but am anxious to feel "normal," whatever that is. I am currently a 34C but when the swelling subsides I may be a full B which is what I wanted. I have been told I will have a better idea of my final size when I am 3 months post-op. I am a petite woman and do not want to look out of proportion. Happy with the way I look in clothes but still surprised by how I look when my clothes are off!
Here we go.....I'm 57 (5'3" & 150 lbs.) and scheduled to have a tummy tuck on October 7, 2013. I have talked myself in and out of it every day, but all I have to do is look in a full length mirror to know I will do it! I see my doctor tomorrow to go over everything. I have 3 sons, (37, 34, 28) who were all large babies. Any and all words of encouragement will be appreciated! Updated on 24 Sep 2013: I went to the doctor today and everything is a go! And I found out that I've lost 3 pounds!! No turning back now.....I paid for it today! The surgery center called me to go over medical issues and everything is clear for the surgery. I'm so excited & nervous at the same time! Updated on 24 Sep 2013: A little back story......I had breast cancer last year. I had a lumpectomy on my right breast with another surgery a month later....followed by 25 doses of radiation. While I was happy to be rid of the cancer, I was not happy with my breasts. I had reconstruction surgery in May of this year. My breasts look great and only magnified how ugly my abs (or lack of) were. So, with the support of my hub, I decided to keep on going and get a TT. Updated on 27 Sep 2013: Well, today marks the beginning of my 10-day countdown! I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic thinking what in the hell am I thinking!?! I'm quite sure this is normal behavior for someone preparing for major surgery! I told my oldest son last night about having surgery because I babysit my grandchildren a few days a week. He wasn't phased at all. (Must take after his dad) I've been wrapping up my canning season and getting the house in order. I still need to teach the hubs how to run the washing machine. What else do I need to do? Help!! Updated on 2 Oct 2013: Well, I think I'm ready now! Got the house cleaned (thanks Lois), finished my canning and put everything away till next year! (anyone need any jelly?) Just need to make sure all the laundry is finished...no problem! Paid all the bills! Hmmmm....what else?? Now we wait........... Updated on 6 Oct 2013: My surgery begins at 6:30 am tomorrow. Then I enter into the world of the unknown. Wish me luck! See you on the "flat" side!! Updated on 8 Oct 2013: Surgery started at 7 am and I was home in my own bed by noon! Cool! I'm in some pain but am staying on top of it. But just let me say that coughing is not your friend! That hurts more than you can imagine!! Tom has been beyond wonderful! Taking good care of me and bringing me yummy things to eat! I didn't even know he knew how to cook! I go see my doc on Friday to see how I'm doing. So far so good! Updated on 11 Oct 2013: Saw the doc this morning to maybe take out a drain. He said I was doing very well, but we would take one drain out on Monday instead. I'm cool with that. It is difficult to hide two hangy down things! (I don't know how guys do it! haha) I'm feeling better each and every day. Not taking pain pills very often...mainly at bedtime. I still can't believe I did it!! Updated on 14 Oct 2013: I visited my Dr. this morning and he removed one of my drains! What an angel!! It's such a relief to have it out! Maybe now I can finally sleep on my side. The other drain is coming out on Thursday. Dr. said to wait a month to weigh myself. Funny...I have weighed myself every single day & have lost at least 7 pounds & that's with my binder on with 2 drains hanging off me! So there! I'm feeling much better! So if you are thinking about having a tummy tuck, I say "DO IT!" I'm glad I did!! Now I'm thinking of more lipo on my backside and thighs. But, I haven't mentioned this to the spouse just yet!! Updated on 17 Oct 2013: Well, I went to the Dr to get the final drain removed and was informed that I would NOT be getting it out just yet! BOOHOO!! Oh well, I will do whatever my Dr tells me to do! He's the expert not me! Other than that, everything is going very well. The bruising is going away and I can stand up straight! (well, after a few minutes) Continuing my journey to the FLAT SIDE! Updated on 24 Oct 2013: I got my final drain out this morning! What a relief!! I really think I will feel much better now that it is out! Also, I get to move from my binder to a Spanx type garment! Yippy!! I was a very good day until I got one of the worst migraines I've ever had! Oh well, feeling better now. Another Dr appointment in one week. Updated on 13 Nov 2013: I went to the dr yesterday to get some fluid drained. Just got a little; about 10 cc's or so. And he took out a stitch that had worked it's way to the surface. I'm feeling so much better each and every day! I'm down about 10 lbs so far. I think once I get back to walking regularly, I will lose some more. I'm only about 7 lbs from where I want to be anyway! I still can't wear jeans or anything that has anything besides an elastic waistband. It just hits me in the wrong place and makes me hurt when I don't have to. I do find that wearing Spanx or a similar garment does feel better than not wearing it. My next post op appointment is in January. At that time we will be discussing further lipo. The journey continues............... Updated on 6 May 2014: Well, it's been 7 months since my TT & I'm doing great! I still have alot of numbness, but that is normal! (So I'm told) I'm now 58 years old. I've been back to my surgeon several times since the surgery. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago & I've scheduled another surgery. There is a small revision needed on my TT & on my breast reconstruction (May 2013) & I'm going to have lipo on my thighs. The surgery is scheduled for June 4, 2014.....less than a month away! So excited!!
I paid for liposuction and got zero results. I would not recommend Dr Lewis. I am 6 months out from surgery and still no results. I voiced my concerns with his office and got no answer’s from him or staff
"Had a Brazilian butt lift consultation with Dr Lewis. He was very comfortable with him the minute I met him. He went over what I wanted and suggested some things himself. He answered all my questions and eased the concerns I had. I have booked with him for my procedure on May 23. I'm super excited and ready to have him make me a new lol." Updated on 17 Apr 2018: Hello all. I'm 34, 160 pounds, 5.4, and 4 kids later. This is my BBl journey. Had my consultation March 27 couldn't get a faster surgery date because I breastfed feed had to be done for at least 2-3 months doc said so my earliest surgery date is May 23rd. I decided to stay local and use one of our own doctors due to the cost of traveling and the horror stories about traveling when having this procedure. So I will be 15-20 mind away from home. I see him again two weeks before surgery which is May 8th. The only thing I haven't paid yet is for my supplies due to trying to find things on a budget. Plus my faja was included with my fees. I'm so happy to finally be able to do something for my self and to get the body I've been dreaming of. I dont expect perfect but I do expect dramatic results. I've wanted this procedure for over a decade but never could afford it. 35 days and I've never been more excited to embark on this new journey. Updated on 18 Apr 2018: Big stomach, no hips, no ass... womp, womp???? Updated on 18 Apr 2018: Updated on 20 Apr 2018: 32 more days left. I'm so excited and anxious a little nervous but I think that's expected. I'm so ready to feel good again. So ready to have my confidence back and so ready for a new me... Updated on 25 Apr 2018: Been reading alot about woman having to stop their birth control(Pill) a month prior but my doctor didn't say anything about it and I told him I took birth control. Did any of you guys take your birth control still? Updated on 27 Apr 2018: 25 more days left so I started to get my supplies. The closer my date gets the more real it seems. Haven't got my big stuff yet getting it little by little. So next week and week after I'll get the last 4 things on my last like the bbl pillow, the massage tool, and the ability boards and foam. A couple little things like the bed pads and leggings. Hope I'm not missing too much. Didn't want to go crazy with spending on unnecessary stuff and what not. I'm still so excited not really to nervous but I'm sure that can change. Updated on 29 Apr 2018: Day dreaming of what I'm going to look like in just 23 days. I just keep looking at all the women who got this procedure and how beautiful they look. I'm just waiting for my time. Everything is pretty much in order just counting down now Updated on 1 May 2018: I'm talking to a friend about my procedure and she's like yeah my friend went and got a bbl done and within 6 months she lost all her fat... I've read only a handful of these stories on here but I'm really getting nervous after hearing a friend say it. What if this happens to me? Yikes!!! Not only would that be devastating but jezzz you know how long it took me to gather up all this money for this. 7900 would be heartbreaking to waste. I dont know if these people are doing something wrong but I will do everything to a t. Praying I have beautiful long lasting results. Besides this I'm doing great 21 days left and next week I have just a 2 week pre OP with the doctor. Ordered my boards, foam and roller board today. Last thing on list is bbl pillow. Here's to 3 week count down.. Updated on 4 May 2018: So I did get a call back from the doctor when i asked about my birth control if I should stop it or not and Doc said no. I go see him Tues for my 2 week pre-opt. Can't wait I'm just getting so close. I wrote some stuff down that I want to ask him that I didn't get a chance to at my consultation. Really excited and just so happy. Updated on 7 May 2018: I see Doctor tomorrow for my 2 week pre-op. I have my list of questions that I didn't ask at previous appointment. All my supplies are here. I did go get just a few outfits to start me off bought a real cute Teddy something that I could never wear before. Hope it looks good on after surgery. I'll update tomorrow with some of the answers to my questions for the Doctor. 2 weeks to go and I'm so excited but a lil nervous hoping the doctor can give me the body I want. Updated on 7 May 2018: Updated on 8 May 2018: Went for my 2 week pre-opt and everything went good. He took measurements and pictures. He eased my mind so much with answering everything I didn't ask him at my first consultation with him. I asked him about drains he said I wouldn't need any because I'm not getting a tummy tuck. No blood work needed because I'm doing it local my home town. He does provide my first garment and binder. I new about garment but not binder or I could of saved on buying my board. Anywho, he said they gives the butt out I am kinda of skecthy about this because of reviews I read about the butt out not being as butt in. He said they offered two the butt out and butt in I hope he let's me get butt in or l will be getting another garment. He's taking from my stomach and love handles and injecting into butt and hips. First shower can happen 2 days after, sec when I'm up to it lol first 3 months no sitting, faja on all day with only off here and there, no vitiams, or special diet and absolutely no sitting first 3 months. We've watched enough videos on YouTube that my husband will be doing my home massages. 2 weeks cannot come fast enough. I also see my husband getting excited for me. He has definitely been my biggest supporter. Updated on 9 May 2018: Day dreaming of what I'll look like in 13 days. Updated on 10 May 2018: This was the last thing on my list was my pillow so today I did some online shopping and got some maxi dresses, bras, shorts. I'm so iffy about what size underwear to buy. My husband swears with a bigger butt comes a bigger size I'm starting to think the same. Maybe buy a couple Large and a couple medium to see what will fit better I guess. A lil over a week and I'll be introduced to my new body!!! Updated on 12 May 2018: My pillow arrived today the medium size and I cannot stress enough what a waste of money it was. First for $70 I expected it to look like a medium size not a small. I'm trying to test it out and my real ads touched the chair. It has a dent and Mark's under the cover I really do not like it. Updated on 15 May 2018: I'm still trying to come to grip that in just 7 days one of my dreams and wishes will be fulfilled. I'm ready to get my confidence back, ready to wow my husband and most of all ready to see this pretty face have the body that goes with it lol. My family and just a few close friends know. I'm not ready to show my body off quite yet but when I do I'll be prepared for the negative and positive that people will have to say. I'm soooooo Ready!!! Updated on 16 May 2018: Just some of the things I bought including some outfits nothing fancy just some comfortable wear Updated on 17 May 2018: 5 days wooooo hoooo Updated on 20 May 2018: 2 days and a wake up. I dont think I could be any more excited and praying I have an easy, quick and pain free recovery. Going to buy a gravity chair so scared in screwing the hole up. Lol wish me luck on that project Updated on 21 May 2018: 5am is surgery on Wed. Getting last minute details in order for my week off of work. I didnt make any appointments to where I have to leave so I'm relaxing all week Updated on 23 May 2018: Waiting to go back to registration. The day Is finally here. Updated on 23 May 2018: Surgery was 6am and was done aroundc12 ish. When I woke I was in agonizing pain not my ass but my stomach. Mine you I've had 4 natural births no meds but this pain takes the cake.They have me morphine drops in the surgery center. Felt good enough after that to go home got home at 2. Haven't took any of my pain meds because I'm been super high all damm day. I definitely dont like that feeling. So I've been taking advil. I'm super swollen, my vagina looks horrible with all this sweeping and its definitely alot of swelling down there. My who mid section is numb including my ass. For some reason my right hip is starting to hurt really bad. Pain right now is probably a 6 and alot is coming from the right leg/hip area. O hell I forgot to mention my faja was included with my fees so why in the hell dont I have one on. My doctor sent me home with just foams and binder on. He was gone by the time I woke up. I'm not fully compressed so I will be calling him tomorrow to get my [RS bleep], hell I paid 125 for that. Anywho 12 hours out!!!! Updated on 26 May 2018: The day I left the clinic I knew I wasn't happy with my bbl. Not that it wasnt big enough but not big at all and once I lose fat its definitely going to look like I didnt even get this done. My husband even said 8,000 down the drain. I'm already talking about a revision but cant do this pain or even come up with the money. I'm so disappointed,frustrated, angry,in pain and broke. I definitely knew the risk but I just knew I would be happy. To top this crap off I've developed a yeast infection from the damm antibiotic. Freaking ewwwwwww Updated on 27 May 2018: Feeling a whole lot better pain wise. So scared when I lose fat I'll lose the little i have. It definitely should of been bigger. Still swollen alot in my mid section. Updated on 29 May 2018: My stomach is looking really good. But my debts, hips and butt isn't doing much progress. Updated on 2 Jun 2018: I'm still on antibiotics because of a lil hard spot on buttocks. I think it's a fat necrosis. My stomach is shrinking daily but I have cheated and kept my binder and faja off for two nights. Even though I have ass than I started with I'm still very unhappy with size and shape. Updated on 8 Jun 2018: I just see it shrinking by the minute. So not the results I wanted. I've dreamt of looking half way decent and I dont see much of a difference of what I used to look like to now. Will be talking with the doctor soon on what can be done. Updated on 11 Jun 2018: Pain is little to none. Bruising is almost gone. It's still shrinking. I go see my doctor Thursday so I'm going to talk about a round two. I'm scared to go back to him but also scared to go to as new doctor. Hoping I can come up with the money and get it done by the end of this year. Very disappointed by the day Updated on 8 Jul 2018: Still very unhappy with results much nicer in clothes than not. But I have decided to go for a round 2 in Oct or November so I'll keep updated
