I'm having a revision on my my flanks in which I had a tummy tuck but the lipo to my flanks just did not cut it. I wanted to go back to the Doctor who initially did my tummy tuck but he tried to charge me damn near more than the initial tummy tuck. SMDH!! So I decided to go with Cochran I C town (Columbus Ga) I truly pray all goes well with this because I truly did not want to repeat this process. I just was not happy with the results of lipo to my flanks. It didn't make sense to have a flat stomach but the flanks continue to pertrude over my pants. So I have to make it a complete package. My surgery is next month October 12 and I'm already getting back into the panic of going under. He will go from one side of the flank around the back leading to the other side making this an extended tummy tuck after this procedure. So here we gooooooo for round 2.

You are so brave. Beast wishes. I very much wanted to use Dr. Cochran. Based on reviews here he seem to give the results im looking for. I just don't have the support system to go and stay out of town for a tummy tuck. Good luck again keep posting

if you have excess skin on your glutes too, i suggest make a complete back lift for round 2 ; instead of flanks only. and dont panic, back lift / flank surgery is way more easy than a tummy tuck, since there is no musle repair / wall tightening which makes the tummy tuck painful. hope you ll get the results you want, cheers.

Know I'm worried. Why did I not catch this?! He puts you under a light sleep and that's what I'm worried about because they did this years ago when I was a kid in the dentist office and I came out of it fighting the doctor. Uggggggg.... know what!!

You will be okay... I asked About anesthesia... he uses ketamine and versed... IV sedation in the neck.. Ketamine is a tranquilizer, it's way stronger then gas at the dentist...

Yeah I heard since I've had my surgery and read other people's experiences, that several have actually come through feeling the pain, although I didn't feel anything....I will say that the nurse who were to do the IV couldn't find a vein so she got one in the inner fold of arm, she got the needle in but couldn't figure out how to get the blood to flow, the Dr had to come tell her how to position the needle that was my first sign of worry, but I was already on the table. There is a lot more inexperience then actual know how if you ask me going on in that office.

I didn't have any issues with the IV sedation and the local anesthsia. It was sleep the entire time. It was like a quick nap for me. I had my surgery on 8/31
