I recently lost 150 lbs. and my body definitely didn’t look like I had imagined. I went to Dr. Voge for a lower body lift to remove the excess skin in my stomach and back. At the evaluation session Dr. Voge was very clear about risks and expectations, she wanted to make sure I had a realistic picture of what the results could be, both pro/con (we can’t all look like super models, right?). The surgery itself went very well, Dr. Voge and the surgical staff have great bed side manner and there were no complications with the operation. I will admit, the recovery time was longer than I had expected. Dr. Voge had told me at least 2 weeks off from work, but I thought I only needed one… yeah you will need at least 2!! I felt pretty normal at 4 weeks and fully recovered at 2 months. I am very happy. Yes, there are obviously scars (no way to avoid those with this type of surgery), but they are fading with time and with clothes on you can’t tell. I would recommend this operation to those with excess skin afar weight loss and I would recommend Dr Voge.
