Lower Half Lift, 20 Years Younger
I live in a small town in NY about 90 miles from Albany. Over the last 3 years I have lost a total of 110 lbs and I had a lot of excess skin and a very saggy buttocks, stretch marks and all around aging sag that I was unhappy with. Going in I didn’t have any idea of the results I would get, looking at what a surgeon had to work with I wasn’t super optimistic to be honest.
At my initial free consultation I met with Dr. Hargrave and he was very upfront and honest about what he could do for me and the procedures he’d need to perform to get me as close to my desired results as possible. He was realistic and funny and really great to talk to. I felt comfortable standing naked chatting about my body while he drew on me with a sharpie. Leaving his office I felt confident that I wanted him to do my surgery and tried to schedule it for the following week, but couldn’t get the OR time. I had a big trip planned and planned the surgery for when I got back. In retrospect I am happy that it worked out that way since the recovery has been more extensive than I had anticipated.
I met with Dr. Hargrave one more time to discuss what would be done, and again it was a very positive experience. He didn’t BS me about my results and was blunt and realistic which I appreciated greatly and this allowed me to put my trust in him.
On the morning of the surgery, he sat down with me to once again to go over what he’d be doing, drew on me a final time and we were off to the OR.
Today marks 4 weeks since the surgery. I had a tummy tuck, butt and thigh lift. I have had 3 follow up appointments, first to remove the drains and then to check how I was healing, the last one I had included a lymphatic massage which Joanie is wonderful! During the last month, the office has called to check on me numerous times, which really makes you feel cared about and not just a patient.
So...results! Wow! Dr. Hargrave is a miracle worker! My tummy is smooth and flat, I have abs and my stretch marks are gone! My new belly button is adorable. My thighs are no longer sagging and I’ll be able to wear shorts next summer without my fat and skin falling out of them! My butt is what I am most excited about as before I didn’t have one and now...I have a firm, rounded and clearly defined derrière. I never in my life thought I would look so good.
I’m not going to lie, this recovery has been rough and painful. If you’re considering this surgery, make sure you have help at home and enough time to heal properly, you do not want to push yourself and mess up your results! I personally recommend a month.
My overall experience was better than I ever would have expected and I highly recommend Dr. Hargrave and the Plastic Surgery Group.
