Mindblown, in the Best Way.

While losing weight, I spent years researching skin removal surgery and what to look for in a doctor. After reaching my goal by losing 160 lbs, I was ready to find the right surgical team to partner with for this next step in my journey. I spoke with numerous surgeons around Colorado, and the moment I stepped into La Vie and met Dr Pulikkotil I knew I had found my match.

Not only was the team kind, respectful and answered my laundry list of questions, Dr Pulikkotil made me feel seen and listened to in a way no other doctor did. He was the first surgeon to tell me what I didn’t need as well as what I did, instead of trying to add every little thing on to increase my quote. He is also a double board certified surgeon who specializes in cases with damaged and delicate skin, so I felt confident I was in the right hands.

After considering multiple surgical paths, we ultimately landed on a 360 lower body lift, Fleur de lis tummy tuck and breast lift.

Leading up to surgery day, the whole team made sure I was completely comfortable and prepared for my procedure and the morning of felt more like a trip to a spa than a pre-op visit.

Immediately after surgery I was completely blown away with my results and I can’t get over how well everything turned out and has been healing. I’ve had minimal pain and an incredibly smooth recovery considering how extensive the procedure was.

Ultimately I am so happy with my results and I feel like my body finally matches who I have become on the inside. Anyone who’s lost significant weight knows how disorienting it can feel to not match what you feel inside and my results have far exceeded my expectations.

I can’t thank Dr Pulikkotil and the team at La Vie enough and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to complete their journey with skin removal surgery.
