I lost 165# and kept it off 10 years... Having Dr....

I lost 165# and kept it off 10 years... Having Dr. Bermudez do my lift, implants, and "batwings" was one of the last parts of my transformation. And quite possibly, the piece no one but me will ever notice. Yet, I'm ecstatic.

He did a masterpiece job (he is a perfectionist!) of making my breasts look years younger; my arms are already (4 months) ready for going sleeveless, and my clothes look and fit better.

I had saved up once to have this done, then wound up needing it for a family crisis... and just let it go. But I decided that 2015 was my year - I was going to get everything fixed and over with so I'd be ready for 60 (next year) and my skin problems would finally be resolved. I can't begin to tell you how awful the skin breakdown and sweat can be (I work out) when you have such bad droop that you could tuck your breasts into your granny pants.

I attribute my excellent results to picking the right surgeon, AND following every instruction to the letter. I did not cut corners. I had family come in and wait on me hand and foot. I slept in the recliner (arms elevated for the brachioplasty, too). I didn't lift, or do anything I wasn't suppose to do. I took my vitamins and ate very very healthy with extra protein and anti-oxidants. I did return to work from home (no lifting that heavy laptop + files) after 2 weeks, but I took breaks and naps as needed.

I also used the Embrace scar therapy strips for the arms (not the breasts, my skin is too fragile and blisters from even paper tape if on too long).

I also wanted to commend Dr. B and his staff. They monitored me and took excellent care of me. (I had one tiny glitch, entirely me - that paper tape thing made one little blister), and I never was made to feel I was defective or a problem person. And I was told that if it didn't come out perfect, he'd make it right. (Even though it was my stupid body that reacted). It came out fine - but it is reassuring to know he stands behind his work.

A perfectionist, who worked with me to help me select the best size and shape for me and then spend ALL the time needed before, during, and after the surgery to ensure that my outcome was perfect for ME. He patiently answered all my husband's questions, and took the time to work with my family support system/ caretaker to ensure that each step of the aftercare instructions were clear and achievable. My husband is a critical connoisseur, and researched extensively on outcomes among his acquaintance's experience. I'm in a medical area and had researched Dr. B (who had also done my facelift a couple years ago and another procedure earlier in 2015). Hubby is almost never happy with anyone's effort, and he readily admits that Dr. B did a "phenomenal job." I'm so pleased. Hubby is also a bit tight, and he complete agrees that Dr. B was the best value, because you DO (in this case) get what you pay for. I wanted a great shape and a great outcome, with a doctor who would stand behind his work and "tweak" if needed. (I know my age and I know my body's limitations) . Dr. B does work to make sure you are happy, and stands behind his work. I appreciate that. (Note that he's now - as of this writing - done a complete, head to knee makeover in the last few years). I wouldn't keep coming back - and it's a trek from the east bay - if he wasn't the best I'd found.
