I found Dr. Kerr after extensive research and a handful of consultations. He seemed confident in his abilities, experienced in post weight loss patients, and has a nice portfolio of before/after photos. I have chosen him as my surgeon. I will be getting a lower body lift (360) with a breast lift and implants next week.

Thank you! Yes! I have purchased items to hopefully make recovery a bit easier. This includes pajamas that are button up, lift chair, shower chair, extra bras, adjustable bed, paper plates, and plasticware. I have rearranged commonly utilized items to counter height, food prepped, hired help for laundry, dishes, and light cleaning. I've also networked family, friends, and neighbors to check on me. :)

Looking Amazing! He was my surgeon for my BA last August. And I’m in love with the results!

My surgical experience went flawless!
A little about me:
41yr
135lb
5'5"
Status post weight loss patient, >100lbs
14 BWD
Natrelle Inspira soft touch 445 L/445 R
The staff at the Surgery Suite were pleasant. Dr. Kerr's attention to detail (I won't say OCD) is ideal. He took his time mapping out his artwork on my skin, maintaining professionalism at all times.
After waking, he visited me prior to his departure. He discussed how he sat me up 10 times while working on my breasts. That's pretty impressive, once or twice is the norm. This further reinforced my previous suspicion that he takes pride in his craft.
First couple of days post OP are challenging. Your body is limited, sore, drained. This passed quickly.
Initial impression of my body... beautiful lower body lift. The incision is low and symmetrical. Breasts... incisions look great! My right breast is high, but I can feel how tight it is. I have confidence the final result will be perfect. Dr. Kerr warned me prior to surgery that I probably wouldn't like my breasts possibly for a few months. It seems they take a bit of time to achieve their final look.
I have 4 drains to the abdomen that have had minimal drainage since day 1. They will come out soon.
I really feel great! I stopped narcotic pain meds on post OP day 2, and stopped all pain meds (tylenol) on day 5. My lower back is sore, but that's my only complaint. I know it's due to my slightly hunched posture as well as sleeping on my back (not a fan). In the grand scheme of things, with how big of a surgery this was, this back discomfort is so minute. Every day I see and feel improvement.
Kudos to Dr. Mahlon Kerr and his colleagues. Top notch experience!

Healing along now, 4 weeks post op
RN_to_patientJune 6, 2019
Today marks the 4 week post op date. I seem to be healing well. I have quite a bit of abdominal swelling and my breasts are still riding high. But, I'm already so pleased with where I am in comparison to prior to surgery. My confidence has definitely been boosted. I look forward to my final results!!
Good luck! Are you doing anything to prepare?
