Wow what a difference 2 years and 2 more awesome surgeries by Dr.John Dean makes!
WORTH IT$3,999
Lord I am really sorry everyone, I have not posted in what seems to be Years... So sorry to all of you out there that are looking at Real Self for the first time! I have been where you are Terrified:) But I have to say the very most important objective you have right now is to find the right doctor for you!!! I have been very blessed to have the most Outstanding plastic surgeon I have ever had Dr.John Dean! I believe I wrote I have had years of doctors after my wreck at Ole Miss ( I know total trader to LSU but I did make my Ole Miss dates sit on the Tigers side:)) He and his team( I call them his angels) can not be topped! All of them are there for 1 reason only, taking care of you and doing it with total perfection. I have now had 4 surgeries with Dr.Dean( and by the way, Never has he asked me if I want some other surgery done.. Very Important!) he did an amazing job with an old large burn on my thigh, he did lipo on my stomach, he took old breast implants out ( o' natural now:)) and he did a mini plus tummy tuck on Feb. 9 of this year! I will post a picture.. Let's just say I Am Thrilled!!!! and last he has done 2 sets of fillers on my 56 year old falling lower every minute skin on my face!
So I can tell you go with your first impression of a doctor.. it is probably correct or in my case it certainly was, please do not go in with a negative attitude in the beginning.. it bothers me that some people are looking for the mistakes and not all the positives JMO..Also you can usually tell Everything about a doctor by the staff he has!! As I have said from way back 35 years ago when my adventures with doctors began... I want someone who is Brilliant but someone who can also hold my hand ...That pretty much sums up my time with Dr.John Dean and his team of Amazing Angels!!! Lastly I pray all of you have the great experience I have had.... Please take care of yourself and find the Perfect Team for you... They are out there!!! Have fun staying up reading all of these post, just like so many of us have before you! Thanks to RealSelf!!

Going over to the explant side!
Hi everyone I wanted you to know that I will each month post an update however I am going to get my size D implants finally removed at the beginning of Sept. I will also be getting a lift because at 54 the old skin as I have found with lipo is not as quick to go back to where it should:) Also Dr. Dean is going to do a reverse tummy tuck and pull my extra skin up through the scars I already have and will have again under my breast ! So as much as I can not stand to do one more surgery I am so very excited!!A ps put in size D implants in 06 when I had asked for B"s and sadly I got very ill with gastric ulcer disease very soon after so dealing with my breast got put way down on my list. So 12 years later I am finally going to have small boobies:) and a flat stomach !!YEA:)

Good luck with both procedures. I could use the boobie lift but will live with the sag. How is the lipo results coming at present?

I am 55 and had lipo of the abs, waist, hips 8 days ago. Your post is very encouraging that i will see results! Right now i feel like i am 7 mos pregnant and prolly look the same. Wearing the cg 24/7 and doing low salt. Tonight I have a long plane flight and i am really worried about the swelling. Definitely with you on the lack of underwear LOL!

I flew home on day ten after lipo. It was not to bad and did not experience any additional swelling. I had only a large purse and had my sister mail me everything else. The Dr. Told me to lift no more than 5# 4 6 weeks so I really over did. I just reached four months two weeks ago and have quit the CG

Thank you for the advice! I will try and limit lifting for sure. Glad you are doing well and no more CG:).
