  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

So about this plastic surgery thing...

It must be addictive. Lol. I've always hated my breasts (or lack thereof) and knew I'd eventually want to fix those too. Now that my bottom half looks sooooooooo much better, they look even worse in comparison! So I scheduled an augmentation for mid-September with Dr. Gervais. Lol
So stay tuned for another review! These sneaky surgeons must know they've hooked you once you get one procedure! :-)

18 days out

All my drains have been removed. Thank god! Took my first shower in 2.5 weeks. There is no pain. My muscles aren't even sore. Everything feels tight but I wanted that right? Lol.
The entire area is numb is an irritating way, but I've been reassured that that will lessen over time. I'm still wearing the binder but get to wear tight Spanx starting next week.
I'm thrilled with my results. I actually feel skinny for once in my life. I really believe this is worth it...the cost, the recovery, everything.

11 days out

Recovery is going really well. I just had my third drain pulled. I have one drain left. I havery some really annoying/painful nerve twangs in my right hip. It radiates down my leg and towards my groin. At night It's maddening because it happens every couple of minutes and makes it nearly impossible to sleep! But it's good because I know the nerves are waking back up. Most of my midsection is really numb and I'm eager for that to get better.
I got some complimentary Botox today in my forehead and between my eyes (a thank you gift from the surgeon) so we'll see if that is helpful.
All in all, I would say this surgery is not nearly the ordeal I thought it would be. I've tried on my clothes a couple times without my binder and all the padding I'm supposed to wear around the clock and HOLY COW. For once, finally, even after losing 130+ pounds 13 years ago, I finally feel like I look thin! My only regret was waiting this long to do it!

Dr. Gervais is amazing. He and his staff take very good care of you after the surgery. He is very thorough and is probably the only doctor anyone should see for a lower body lift. He is great at communicating and gives you all the information you need to proceed and have the best result. I am thrilled with the entire process.
