If you go to @Dr.MikePalmBeach Instagram IGTV you can see clips of my surgery. As of writing this, I am the 2nd video, it’s 2:07 long.
When I met with Dr. Mike, I had already interviewed with several other surgeons and was 90% sure I was going to go with another Dr.; but I really liked his Instagram results so I figured what could the consult hurt.
I immediately changed my mind after sitting with him. It felt like for the 1st time a surgeon was excited about what he could do to change my body rather than it being just another Wednesday for them. He answered every single question I could think of and explained in terms that were easy for me to understand. He gave me several options for the different placement of scars so that we could cover all the areas that I didn’t like and explained how each would affect the outcome.
In the end we decided on two separate surgeries, and I say we decided because I can’t stress enough how much he made me feel like I had options, every other surgeon I had met with basically told me what they could do, the scar I would be left with, and any questions were met with a brief explanation on why it would be another surgery at another time and a separate scar.
The first was a circumferential body lipectomy with extended bilateral brachioplasty and liposuction for sculpting.
The second surgery will be an extended breast lift. (hopefully will be getting this soon, just waiting for my armpits to heal up.)
3 Weeks Out of 1st surgery: I am 3 weeks out today and so happy with the outcome so far. The whole experience has been great from the start and while I am still a bit swollen and have some wound breakdown in my armpits, the results are already drastically different, and I am very happy and I can’t wait to see what the final will be once the 2nd surgery is done.
I can’t recommend Dr. Mike and his staff enough.
I’ll keep this review updated as I heal.
