Bye Bye Sharpei Butt - Marina Del Rey, CA

After 150 pounds of weight-loss in the last ten years, I am scheduled for a butt lift, thighplasty and a body lift. In 2013 I had and Extended Abdominoplasty with Public Lift & Panniculectomy in one procedure and a few months later I had a Arm Lift, Breast Lift, & Bra-line Back Lift in another procedure. We could probably create two full human adults with the skin that has been removed.

This will be my third surgery with Dr. Stoker, who is a true magician and artist.

I am thrilled to get this done, it's truly the last step on my total body transformation.

Will report next when I have my pre-op appointment on January 16th.

Pre-Op appointment was easy. Nurse reviewed the pre-op and post-op instructions. No photos taken, will take on morning of surgery. The past few weeks have been busy with other things but now that they've passed, I've got the energy to focus on what's happening in a few weeks. Starting to wonder if it's hard to sit after a butt lift?!

My surgery was on February 11. It went well and I stayed three nights in the aftercare center. My doctor is on holiday this week, so I will not see him for a week. He did visit me three days after the surgery at the after care center, where he had some other patients as well. It was nice to have a house call!

I had three drains, which is one more than I expected and had had with my other procedures. They did their job and I had them removed today, a few days sooner than I had thought, which was nice.

Everything is healing fine, but the challenge is finding a comfortable position for sitting/laying - as there is an incision all the way around. I am more dependent on the pain meds I have been with the other surgeries I've had, sleeping has been difficult. I have been very sore, but it gets better every day.

I am wearing the binder. Today they took out the pads, and I am allowed to wear a light camisole in between me and the binder. This is a vast improvement
