6 WEEKS: Now almost six weeks since I had Lipo, Tummy Tuck, and modified armlift at CCRS Thane, INDIA.
WORTH IT$5,000
Almost 6 weeks and I am very happy. Healing well. The scars are not too bad. I can live with them, and they will fade. I wear the pressure garments for several hours each day.....usually at night...and they are comfortable. I still feel a little sore in places where I had the lipo, but it isn't enough to bother me. My clothes fit me so much better now. In fact I have had to buy some in smaller sizes. Dr Sameer does great work. I just can't recommend him enough!!!

Your scar looks great, did you use anything special?

No, I didn't use anything at all. Nothing. I think a neat scar has a lot to do with the skill of the surgeon, and the care taken in suturing the wound edges neatly together. I was worried about having an ugly scar, but I think Dr Sameer has done a great job. I think it looks good. In a few months I hope it will be almost invisible.

You are looking so good. What a lovely flat stomach and the Dr seems to have positioned the scar lower on your abdomen. It also doesn't look quite as much like the Indian Pacific railway line cutting across your stomach as I have seen in some of the tummy tucks. I am now 63 and have to lose a bit more weight but am so looking forward to getting my thighs and stomach fixed up. Did the price above include all your accommodation when in India? After your release from hospital where did you stay? Are you from the east or west coast of Australia?

I think the position and appearance of the scar is great! So much better than I expected. I was worried that I might end up with an ugly scar that I really hated, but I'm very happy with this. I live in the north of Australia and flew out of Darwin to Mumbai.
It is difficult for me to give you the exact cost because I had a lot of procedures lumped into the one package. So it's more of an educated guess. The accommodation works out at approximately $100 per day. And the Vaser lipo. depends on how many areas you have done. I'm not sure how much the TT alone cost. I know that the Vaser lipo. procedure, under general anesthetic, on 5 areas, plus 2 sets of pressure garments comes to about $4300. You need to add the TT procedure and accommodation on top of that. Dr Sameer is very helpful. If you send him an email with some pictures he will get back to you with answers pretty quickly. And he will give you a very good idea of the cost. I hope this is helpful. Sorry I can't be more exact.

i am very curious about the mini arm lift. I am hoping to have one with my tummy tuck in Costa Rica next week. Was it worth it?

Australian Granny - 9 days post TT and 2 days post full face and neck lift - Dr. Sameer Karkhanis, INDIA.
I'm feeling good. No discomfort from the TT and Lipo procedure remaining. I feel I can move normally and roll from side to side at night. (Couldn't do this until night 2, and only small movements at first)
Face Lift is all done. The first night was uncomfortable, mainly because I was sleeping on my back. I also developed a headache which settled after some medication. But no pain in my face or neck. Just a feeling of tightness and pulling. Dr Sameer removed the drain today (day 2) - absolutely painless. Also removed the dressing and strapped me into my head bra. Quite comfortable! And, I don't look great yet, but I can already see the improvement. I have a jawline!! Swollen cheeks, puffy eyes, duckbill lips......that will settle down. And not a bruise to be found. How good is that? I believe that is down to an expert technique on the surgeon's part.

Very happy already Dr Sameer! And I feel very well, energetic and somehow 'lighter'. Like everything seems to require less effort. Maybe this is because there is now less of me to lug around? :)

Your body looks Great !
I have just had my own tt, lipo, and fat injected into my face and just hope I look as good as you do when I recover. I'm 65, so had same thoughts/reservations about all this at this stage of my life. I believe I'll be glad I did it when this is all over.
