This is kind of a delayed review, but I feel the need to do it...
After massive weight loss, I researched for over 2 years on who to have complete my body contouring. My story is a bit different; my husband's first wife passed after a very common procedure (not plastics), so I was going to do everything in my power not to let this happen to him again. In short, I wasn't just looking for a plastic surgeon for me, I was looking for a plastic surgeon for the spouse of my husband and the mother of my children. It puts things in a different perspective.
I read and researched and researched and narrowed down and emailed numerous patients of different plastic surgeons until I ended up with one name. I knew practically every answer of his on RealSelf plus ObesityHelp and probably knew his website better than him. :)
It all came down to three main criteria:
1. Skill of surgeon
2. Safety concerns of surgeon
3. Personal character of surgeon
Dr. Lomonaco was on the top of all three. I could have traveled anywhere for the surgeon and ended up traveling about 4000 miles.
My first surgery consisted of a LBL plus BL. Five months later, I had a medial thigh lift, arm lift, side of chest lift and small BA. I am very happy with the skill and follow through of Dr. L.
I also have to add that his staff was fantastic, especially Destiny, who was right there when I went into surgery and Stacey, who was there for all follow up appointments.
I am from a very small town and a private person, so I am not adding photos, but if anyone has any questions, especially for traveling and staying in the Houston area, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks !
Thanks!
I flew in from out of town and stayed 2 weeks; I probably could have left after 10 days. It was good to be there, though, for followup appointments. I was getting a bit stir crazy, so was cleaning the rental I stayed at even though I had a cleaning person :)
You could probably go back to work in two weeks, but I would give yourself three if you could.
Dr. L. is very good and conscientious. He will take good care of you if you decide to go with him, I have no doubt.
Take care. Feel free to private message me if you need info on staying in the area, services I used, etc.
Re: scars, yes, they are fading nicely and can be covered with bikini bottoms.
I did not have the augmentation to my buttocks. Dr. L. thought it wasn't worth the minimal benefit I would get from it because I was basically all skin, no fat to lipo and that "my butt wasn't that flat anyways". I kind of laughed inwardly when he said that, and kept a straight face, thinking....did he just say I had a big butt? Lol. But I appreciated his honesty in telling me the cost vs. benefit was really not worth it.
