After many hours spent on this site I finally made the decision to go with Dr. Peter Fisher. A decision I will never regret. I had a lower body lift along with a brachioplasty surgery was over 8 hours. I stayed 2 days the hospital in San Antonio. I wish I could remember more but, I was on pain meds and the experience in blurry. After I was released I stayed about 9 days at a relatives.

Your results were awesome. So I'm going with Dr Fisher next year but I've been going back and forth between having my lower body lift done with my arms or my breast lift/augmentation. I'm concerned my arms will be in too much pain to handle having to lift myself in and out of bed/on to off the toilet etc. How was your experience since you had your arms done at the same time as your lower body lift? If you were going to do it all over again to include a breast lift/aug which would you have done? I'd appreciate your input since you've done been there done it..and look faaabbbuulous by the way! Thanks Joanne

I won't lie, the first 4 days were terrible. My arms did not hurt very much, it was he lipo and the LBL. I bought a compression garment for my arms and wore it for several months. I don't have desire to get my boobs done, so the decision was easy. For me, I remember telling Dr. Fisher that I was in pain and he calmly told me," this will last a very short time in your life and then oh will look gorgeous." I guess like they say,no pain no gain. Like child birth, you don't remember that part after the baby is here. Good luck!

thank you so much for your honest information. I do feel tons better knowing that my arms aren't going to be the thing that gives me pain and that it will be ok. Dr Fisher is so cool. And he is right. You do look gorgeous.

I am having the lower body lift with Dr. Fisher in October. What hints can you give me about what worked and what didn't with recovery. Where did you get your body compression garment? You look fabulous!!

Congratulations on your decision. I bought my original compression garment just a couple of Amy's before my surgery, I should have put more thought into it. I have another review that I give the name and company of the one I bought 2 moths ago. Love it! Because I has a cottony inside that is so comfortable ( I'm latex sensitive, so those things are important) I went back to work after 3 weeks of this surgery, I didn't return to working out until 6 weeks after. Everyone is different, take your time.

Wow! You look gorgeous! The scars have faded and you can barely seem them. Do you have any recent photos of your arm scars? How far do they go when doing the arm lifts? My next surgeries are going to be my face & neck lipo, lip augmentation, rhinoplasty, etc and the upper body lift. Back/bra roll area, arm lift, and breast lift and augmentation. My boobs are flat and gone! I want them back lol Thank you so much for sharing your photos and your story! It looks like your ps is really talented. How long did you wait for an appointment and then surgery? If you don't mind me asking How are you doing now? How long did it take to recover to be back to normal with activities, etc?

I went to see the doctor after 2 weeks of making my first call. I then took about 3 months or the surgery date to accommodate my schedule. I had no problems at all, Dr Fisher's staff worked with me. I went back to work after 3 weeks. I have another review I started about a month ago on my thigh lift

You look amazing!!!! Good for you. You showed recent photos of your torso (hot damn Gurl ;-) but what about your arms, how happy are you with them? I want it all done, plus my thighs but I have two hip replacements and a breast explant (due to Breast Implant Illness) to contend with first

I thought the lbl was supposed to lift skin from the thighs. I am scheduled for this same thing. Do you feel like yours was pulled tight enough?

you look amazing...I am also a massive weight loss patient...i have been on here a while, i just finally decided to send out a question to the drs....your surgeon is a mass weight loss surgeon?

Yes, he is and he is amazing. Like you, I have been on the site reading and going thru so many posts. I chose Dr. Peter Fisher because he is always commenting on people's questions and giving great advise. He has great reviews and the best bedside manner. He is always available on his cell phone to answer any of my questions. There are not that many doctors that would give out thier cell phone number like that. I'm going to see him this Monday and I'm excited to show him my progress.
