I had my last post op visit with him 12/16/19. I had a FDL and medial thigh lift 9/25/19. Dr. Lien is a super awesome doctor. I had the opportunity to have some cosmetic work done, that I have waited to do for a little over ten years. My total weight loss was 140lbs(highest weight 270) I have kept 120 to 130 off. I researched two other docs and had consults. I wasn't to sure about them. I had my consult with Dr.Lien and BLAMMO he was it. I don't know why. You'll know when you meet him.
He is a very kind guy, I did not feel rushed during any of my appointments.I was not embarrassed or uncomfortable. He has awesome bedside manners. I trusted he would take great care of me AND HE DID. He will answer any questions you have, and go over all options and advise on the best one. I do have to say he was the first doc ever to convince me, to give up cigarettes. He didn't have to try hard either, something was mentioned about blood vessels and tissue necrosis. That was good for me right there. He has great staff as well from front desk to MA's and the RN.
My incisions look fantastic i no real complication, he performed a miracle, swear to god. I was reminded at a few post op visit, that once the swelling goes Ill see the real results. I extremely happy with some swelling. The only complaint I have is, the garment,which is not his fault. I had to wear for a week it was like bike shorts that covered my stomach area. like two in one. I hated that thing with a passion. I was given an abdominal binder and ace wrapped my thighs. I was much more comfortable.
I highly recommend him and that's an understatement, oh yeah he wears cool socks too.
I can't say enough how grateful I am to have had him as my surgeon.

Back to excersising, not that easy to get back to it. I can do moderate excersising up to 1.5 hours every other day. NO AB work. Its fine im glad I can freely move around. I do swell up a lot by the end of the day. Each day is getting better.

The pictures of Dr Lien wonderful work. Im super happy with my results. I had medial thigh lift as well. I the next few months swelling should be less of an issue and I'll get some holiday swelling off too. Bike ridding is not too comfortable right now. Stick to walking, hiking and other activities.
Again THANK YOU DR. LIEN
