Overall all I am very satisfied. The facelift procedure was performed by a skillful and caring surgeon. The scars are barely noticeable after 3 months and I have to say I look great. I hardly had any swelling after the procedure and could go out I'd say after about a week. I did have a complication, not from the surgeon, but from a "perfect storm" scenario. Dr. Russell showed concern and repeatedly had checked up on me to see how things were progressing. At the 3 month mark,

I am so excited to be joining you ladies! I am a 29 yr old mom of two very active boys- one and three, and we lost a baby girl before they were born in the third trimester of my pregnancy (hense the 3 babies). I breast fed both boys so my breasts are deflated looking, but the surgeon said that I did not need a lift so I was kinda happy about that. I am 5'9" and currently 149 lbs (trying to lose a couple before surgery). I am getting a full tummy tuck, lipo for my flanks, a

I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow morning (despite having gotten 7+ inches of snow today!). I’ve always been small and after having my daughter got a bit saggier. This hasn’t always been a dream of mine, but something nice I am doing for myself that I am hoping will make going to the beach and wearing tank tops more fun. It would also be nice to feel sexier! My surgeon is Dr. Roger Russell at Specialists in Plastic Surgery in Raleigh. He was initially referred by a friend.

I had adomible separation and a significant mommmy pooch from having kids. I've been thinking about doing this for years, but it's never been a good time. There never is though. I was sick for a week prior to my procedure and I'm still not 100% with my congestion and cough. I can't cough though, it hurts too bad. Somehow my self preservation has kicked in, and even though I get the urge I'm able to fight it. Went In Yesterday for my procedure and don't remember anything after

I've wanted rhinoplasty for as long as I can remember, at the latest -12 years old when kids really started to point out the size of my nose. Money being what it is (hard to come by!), I've always put this desire on the back burner. My child is now out of college and I've been working very hard to be able to do this. Sometimes I think "is it silly to do it now?" But I am! A couple of years ago I had severe hyperthyroidism and since then my eyelids have been swollen and puffy.

I am so excited I never thought the day would come. This site has helped me feel so much better about my decision. I received my approval on April 28th. I only recently found this site...like last week. I had be denied for the BR in August, but I decided to go to another surgeon in November...it took 6 months of physical therapy, mammograms, back X-rays...to get approved. I can't believe it is only 4 days away...I go from excited to nervous everyday, but as I said earlier this
