How long was the recovery time for the arm lift? Your arms look great!

Can I ask what you paid?
Looking for docs in the same area for minimum a panni but hopefully FDL panni, breat lift and arm lift.
Thanks in adance!
I live in the same area and also had a bad experience with Dr Edward's. I basically wasted months of effort to document need for jnsurance approval only to be told after the fact that they wouldn't even try to get me approved.

Dr Edwards at Providence also did my pannulectomy and omg he is amazing! I too had lost a significant amount of weight and he did my first pannulectomy and then a revision a few years later after i lost a little more weight! Love that office!!

Hey just wondering how you’re doing? Did you have your surgery. If so, how’s the recovery?

I did have my procedure and it went well. I think it's too early to make a judgement on if I like it or not. Things have to settle in place. I find it very hard to always lay on my stomach and my butt feels like the skin is soooo stretched it hurts everyday. I have been taking pics and I'll post in a day or two. How are things going for you?

I’m still struggling but things are getting better. Still have a lot of swelling, but pain is better. It’s now more discomfort than anything. I feel stretched out too so I know that feeling. Take one day at a time. It will get better

Lipo and bbl

User Avatar

Hi Realself.... it's been to long...So I've been thinking about getting some lipo and a bbl. I've found Dr. Brecht and went for a consultation on August 22, 2020. She was great with explaining everything and what she could do. She doesn't lead you on thinking your going to look like this when your body structure just isn't going to provide you with that end result. Me being a thicker bigger girl 5' 6" 212lbs was very happy that she said she would do the lipo and bbl. I also want an arm lift but I'll wait on that. I've scheduled my pre-op for September 12, 2020. I'll update you with more after my appointment.

I am confused which Dr did what after reading your posts.
I am also in the Seattle area and fed up with the office I have been trying to get approved through so looking for a new doctor.
I had looked at Dr Edward's but am not clear whether you were unhappy with him,can you share more info?
Also can you advise which insurance company you had?

Hi Janine, Dr. Edward's was the first Dr. I had that did my panniculectomy. I was NOT happy with the results. The next Dr. was Dr. Miles with Swedish. She was awesome. She did the revision on the panniculectomy and I got a breast reduction/lift. I had Ambetter Insurance for both those surgeries. Now 5 years later I've decided to pay out of pocket with De. Brecht for some lipo and fat transfer.

Thank you, I will have to check into Dr Miles and Brecht. Unfortunately there are very limited options on my United Healthcare plan.
