5.5 months post-op, I'm loving the skin I'm in

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Mosher for the care he put into my procedure, and for the safety and comfort I felt during my consultations and surgery. My hips were quite out of proportion to my body after incurring a massive hematoma on my left hip at age 15, two surgeries there, and then a 100 pound weight gain and loss. I worked hard on acceptance and learned to dress to camouflage, though it was with me every day. I'm 56, and with skin laxity, fat was concentrating in an ever more concentrated area on both hips.

I went to my initial consultation with curiosity. I didn't "need" this surgery and yet wanted to know what Dr. Mosher thought. I felt respected and heard, and with image technology, I could see what my results might look like.

Now I'm 5.5 months post-op, I'm loving the skin I'm in. I shared with my nurse Nicole that I look like my mother and sister for the first time in my adult life: tall and athletic, and proportional. She teared up with me. I felt her investment wholeheartedly.

This surgery is the biggest, most impactful, gift I've given myself.
