WORTH IT
I chose Dr. Ochoa based on his expertise in full body restorations after massive weight loss. While I had planned to do a breast reduction, circumferential tummy tuck w/contouring and fat redistribution all in one go, I ended up doing the first separately-- because Dr. Ochoa had my safety in mind first, and my bloodwork wasn't high enough to do it all together. He did a beautiful job on my breast reduction with side extension to remove side skin. Facilities were spotless: the stay at the Grand was great-- their nurses are experienced in aftercare. I created a wound opening 5 weeks po by accidentally pulling on the incision, and he was very responsive very quickly through Haley the coordinator. Following his instruction, along with wound care info, it healed in 3 weeks.
I returned 5 months later for the CTT and contouring. He repaired a 4.5 inch muscle gap, and removed 6lbs of skin. He also revised the scar I had from creating my wound opening, making it appear tiny and thin like the rest of the incision. A small area of skin on the incision line, about 2inches square, scabbed over because it lost blood supply being moved so far. I was quite worried about it, but the skin never opened, just healed with scarring, due to great aftercare nutrition and high, high protein diet. Massive weight loss clients have greater risks bc of our weakened skin, but Dr. Ochoa seeks to remove as much as possible without overtaxing what remains. The rest healed very well, and I love my shape! I am now 12mo post op from breast reduction, and 8mo post op from the rest of my torso/body lift.
Dr. Ochoa himself is very professional, with excellent bedside manner. He was caring, patient with my many questions, and a precise artist when it comes to his surgical markings. He was very gast to respond to actual needs during recovery (I now know some of the emails I send were not important). His anesthesiologist and assisting doctor were wonderful. The process was smooth, I would absolutely return to him if I needed more repair.
