Got tired of my 92 year old mother ragging on me...

Got tired of my 92 year old mother ragging on me about my "spare tire." No matter how much I exercised, I couldn't get rid of it.
Not only is Dr Richards highly credentialed and skilled, he is very caring and concerned about his patients. He did a fabulous job and I'm so happy with my results. In addition to the tummy tuck, I had some fat transferred to my face to fill in some lines and hollow areas in my cheeks and make my lips fuller. People are already telling me that I look forty, and my brother just asked me if I had a "boob job!" LOL
Dr Richards' patient coordinators, Dawn and Misty, were very knowledgeable and helpful in my recovery and adjustment to the new me.
This experience has made a great difference on my outlook on life, and Dr Richards is my PS for life!

Wow, thank you for joining us and sharing. We would love to see your before and after pictures. How has the recovery been to date?

Yes, I will share pics. Personally I don't have any pics but today was my 5 wks check with Dr. Richards and they took after pics. The difference is amazing. I was to embarraced to take any pics before. I really just wanted to crawl under a rock somewhere. Not anymore!! The first week was pretty rough but by now it was all worth it and the first week is like a distance memory now. I can now get into clothes that I wore 29 yrs ago. In 5 weeks I have gone from sz 12 to sz 6 and am loving every minite of it (and yes, I really did save some of my favorite clothes from that long ago because I loved the colors or the memories I had wearing them. I always thought that someday I would get back into them. I am having soooo much fun now putting them back on and them fitting perfect again. lol It's a wonderful life Thanks to my wonderful and gifted Dr. Richards.

Wow that is an amazing size change, I am so happy for you. I know what you mean about the before pictures. It's very hard to look at those after the fact. Anything you can get would be great.

Congratulations on this being a wonderful life changing experience for you. I am pleased you mentioned your age. I am in limbo as to have the surgeries done that I need and am 67 years young.

Well thank you, after seeing my results, I really wish that I had done long before. I was at the point in life that I was feeling like it is to late to do anything about it. Boy was I wrong!!! I feel s0 much better about myself and life in general. I just had my five week check up today and they took pics. I have no before pics but I asked Dr. Richards if he would share the ones he took before. He is going to email me all my pics and I will post them so you can see the before and afters. It will amaze you! Are you in Vegas?

No, I live in Kerrville Texas and am looking into Dr Peter Fisher who specializes in body contouring after massive weight loss. I would love to see the pictures.

Do you live in Los Vegas? I'm wondering what it would be like to travel away from home for a tt - how many trips required, etc. your ps sounds awesome! I'm 60 and all tummy with chicken legs, butt, arms, etc! Time to change that. I'd be thrilled to just be able to wear regular jeans again !

Sorry I didn't answer right away. I have been out of state with my Mom. I missed RS and no wifi access. I live in a small town that is 55 miles from Dr, Richards office. It is about 8 visits all together. Two prior, 1 surgery, the next day post and once per week for three wks. then 1 month. Also depending on your drain removal (i went three wks with one of my 2 drains). I totally understand it is a life changer!!

Hmm, sounds like too much for a long-distance "tt affair" with your awesome PS! Congrats to you! You look wonderful!
March 19, 2016
Yeah, I don't understand how so many ladies go out of country and get work done and go back home in a week or less. I don't know any surgeon who would want to take over the work that another surgeon has performed. I'm not sure how that works. The thing that I also looked for was my Dr. was all inclusive so why loose out on that? Thank You for your compliment any I wish you the best on luck in finding a great PS near you.

I had my upper eyelid done when I was 40. It was very fast healing and basicly not painful. Now for the TT, you will definally need to take it easy to get your best results. I am a doer and It was hard not doing my usual chores but it is very important to take the needed time to heal for your best results. I had no bleeding except for what was going into my two drains (they were a bit of a pain). My incision was very thin and no draining or oozing from it. the pain was an issue for the first week but you will have pain meds to help with that. For me it was more of a concern that I was very comfortable with my doctor and I was. I didn't want to feel dumb by asking a dumb question. In my opinion why wait? get it done and enjoy your results sooner than later. I wish I had mine done sooner instead of buying clothes for years to hid in. for me I feel that was sad. Since you are in Vegas get a consult from Dr. Richards. I love him. I would like to adopt him. lol
