I'm Ready for Round 2 - Getting Thighs and Backside Done!!!! - Northbrook, IL

I went back for revisions, there were no charges from the surgeon, but I had to pay for surgical room and anesthesiologist. Unfortunately for me it was a waste of money and time as the surgeon did not correct the issues and promptly informed me afterwards that he "was not a magician" and "since I was looking to have my arms done, they could "try" to fix the issues again then". Are you kidding me?? If after $17,000 and 2 attempts he couldn't get it right, do you really think I'd go back for more????

Sorry had trouble loading pics with my review - here they are!

Here are my 3 month post surgery pics. I had a few concerns to share with my doctor, all of which he was in agreement with. I could see that the skin around the outer thighs was starting to sag again, something which I understand my doctor can't predict due to the swelling going away and how things 'settle'. I had the same concern with the upper part of the inside of the thighs, and the inside of my left knee. Dr. Krochmal assured me that that all of these concerns could be handled with a short 'touch up' surgery to address each area. He acknowledged my concerns and told me he wasn't 100% happy until I am. Since I am still healing on the inside, his recommends waiting till at least 6 months post op to do the touch ups. So I am looking forward to this fall and getting the final nip n' tucks done to achieve that smooth, firm look I've been dreaming of having since losing 117 pounds :-)

Overall I am satisfied with the results thus far, I knew due to the extent of the surgery that there was always the chance of needing a few revisions done. I am very happy with the 'purse-string' procedure he did on my backside. I have a 'butt' that is not an exaggerated Kardashian booty, and it's all me, no implants or fat transferring needed. Oh and did I mention how firm it is :-) And how nice it is to see a smooth hour-glass shape, no more protruding hips. There is a huge difference in my thighs, and the way they feel, I think the only way I can describe it is it no longer feels as though I have 10 pounds of jello on each thigh wiggling and jiggling with each step I take. Oh what a feeling!!

So I am anxiously awaiting to have the touch ups done, (and am considering having my arms done at the same time!) I am so close to where I want to be, and I am so fortunate to have Dr. Krochmal as my surgeon. He is a skilled, highly trained surgeon in the field of body contouring who also has a caring and sensitive side to him which makes him a complete "Win-Win" when considering this type and extent of surgery. The office and medical staff at MAE Plastic Surgery are amazingly caring and attentive. If you are considering any type of body contouring procedure, I would recommend Dr. Krochmal and his staff in a heartbeat.
