Starting my journey

I had my consult on September 19th,2020 Dr Crantford is very personable and professional He was very easy to talk with and answered my questions I will have another consult with him to ask more questions. The first one seems like a blur due to nerves and fear! I am as excited as I am scared. I know I made the right choice with him and his team.

Well I had my second consult today. Dr Crantford is just as amazing today as he was the first time. He answered all my questions and did not take umbrage with any of them. He was kind and genuine and made me feel unbelievably comfortable with my decision to go ahead with the surgery on January 5,2021. I am excited and nervous!! He and his staff are simply the best. A few more weeks to go.

I have decided to go ahead with my surgery with Dr. Crantford on Jan 5, 2021. He genuinely makes you feel like you are the perfect candidate for the surgery and he is the doctor to perform the surgery! I am buying it!! :) He is smart and charismatic and experience, and I believe has everything it takes to follow through with his surgery plan for me to be successful. So I am having a tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair and an arm lift. He explained his way of doing the arm lift totally different that Inhaf ever heard it. He liposuctions all the fat out of the arm then cuts the skin off and stitches it up, therefore not to interfere with the nerves or lymphatic system in the arm. Therefore no need for drains in the arm and less trauma to the arms as well. The tummy and I will have to tough it out for a couple weeks but I am sure we will make it. Blood clots are my main concern at this point so I am gearing up for mobility once it is over. I did ask him about Exparel for pain but he said he didn’t use it. He said if I wanted it he would absolutely get it for me it would just be $300 more which is right for that pain control medicine. He said he has not had any problem with what he uses now. So I will mull that over for a bit. He really just made me feel so much better about the whole surgeries today. It was an amazing appointment and he is an amazing doctor who is in Charleston, SC.
