WORTH IT$13,000
After losing over 200lbs I still didn't have the body I expected. I was left with a lot of excess skin hanging on my body. When i looked in the mirror I still saw the 420 body i started with. I was also getting rashes under my stomach from the skin rubbing against itself.. I went to see my primary care Dr and was referred to Dr Malik Kutty about the skin removal. After my first consultation with Dr Kutty I knew he was the man for the job. I immediately felt at ease when I went in for my consultation. Nikole, Anet, and Kelly were all very friendly. Dr Kutty was amazing! I wasn't even sure if I was ready to have this type of surgery because I still thought it was all fat. He assured me that under all the skin I was actually thin!! I never heard that before!!! He showed me what could be done, where the incisions would be, and what results to expect! I couldn't wait to have it done!!!
I had my surgery on January 9, 2015. The surgery lasted around 9 hours and Dr Kutty removed 17lbs of skin from my abdominal and back. The results and care I received were AMAZING! I stayed overnight in the hospital for observation since the surgery was so long. I saw Dr Kutty the next day and he explained everything that was done and what to expect during my recovery. The recovery was a lot better than I expected and being able to talk to someone at the office was very helpful. Every time I called or emailed with a question someone would reply immediately. This made me feel very cared for. I am so happy that I choosed Luxeplastic Surgery to handle my procedure.
I am now almost 4 months out and have the abdominal and back I have always wanted but never thought I would have. I find myself looking at it and still can't believe how wonderful it feels and what an incredible job Dr Kutty did!
I just had my arms done (brachioplasty) on April 22, 2015 and already LOVE the results! Dr Kutty removed 3 lbs of excess skin but feels like he took off 30 lbs!!
I will continue to come back to for any future procedures that I may need. I'm already planning a thigh lift in January 2016! I have already referred friends and family to Luxeplastic Surgery for all their needs. I have never had a Dr and office staff that made me feel as comfortable and cared for as them!!

how much was the arm operation and other related costs? How long of time difference was there between the operations.? Good luck with the legs How much did the Dr. quote you for the leg surgery and related costs? Where I live everything is too expensive. Thanks!

I only waited 4 months but now I think I should have waited a little longer since I still have swelling from the belt lipectomy. So now I have swelling from both. Thank you. The thigh surgery will be around $5000.

3 weeks post brachioplasty
I had my brachioplasty surgery on April 22, 2015. I expected recovery time of 1-2 weeks. So I only took 1 1/2 weeks off of work since I have an office job. Went back on Monday May 4th. Was very tired, swollen, and sore when I got home. Tuesday night very very sore and swollen. I never realized how much I move my arms at work. Woke up Wed still sore and only worked 1/2 day. Stayed home Thursday and went to see Dr Kutty on Friday. He checked the incisions and they are doing good. Have some wound seperation under the armpit and spit some sutures that he removed and cleaned. He suggested that I take another week off work to prevent the swelling.
It's just going to take time to heal and get back to normal. But I sooooo would do it again because my arms are looking great! It's so nice for my arms to stop moving when I do!

heh! glad to hear that u are back at work. Take it easy. I was told arm surgery is painful. take it slow!look great!

Thank you. Yes I wasn't expecting it to be as painful as it is. I guess compared to the belt lipectomy it's not as bad.
Congratulations on your weight loss! I'd love to see before and after pics, if you have them. They would be very helpful to the community.
