1 Week Post-Op Appt
I had my 1 week post-op follow-up appointment with Dr. Houssock and Danielle, JEV’s Practice and Surgical Director, earlier this week. She removed my drains which was honestly the most painful part of this experience to date. Dr. Houssock and Danielle were so incredibly supportive and compassionate with their care. I had been experiencing increased pain and cramping along one of my drains. Dr. Houssock addressed my concerns, extended my pain medication script, and wrote a script for a short course of oral antibiotics (just to be safe). I received an email from Danielle the following day to see how my pain and cramping was doing since the drain removal. The pain and cramping had significantly improved. They are really adamant about making the patient a part of their care.
Later this week I had some concerns about two very small openings along my suture line as well as continued drainage from one of the drain exit sites. I took photos and emailed them to Val, one of the amazing nurses at the practice. Within an hour she had shared my email and spoke with Dr. Houssock and called me back with an update. She gave me some advice over the phone (light bacitracin on the small openings, cocoa butter on my legs but not on the incisions to help with dryness and tightness), and continued use of my compression leggings.

Thighplasty After 90lb Weightloss
I cannot say all of the wonderful things about JEV Plastic Surgery, Dr. Houssock, and her team. There are just not enough words.
In 2020, I lost 90+ pounds. Most of my lose skin was in my inter thighs and lower stomach. So I had a consultation for a tummy tuck and thighplasty in June/July 2021. My consultation was the Danielle (the surgery director) and Dr. Houssock. Amazing, wonderful women! They were incredibly supportive, informative, answered all of my questions. I am a nurse but on the inpatient side so I don’t know all the surgery/OR lingo and culture. What I loved the most about Dr. Houssock was that she didn’t push a perfection agenda. Her first question for me was what were my goals, what did I want/need to feel healthy, comfortable and happy with my body. Instantly I knew Dr. Houssock was the surgeon I wanted to do my surgery and help me continue on my journey.
During the time between consultation and procedure, Danielle kept in consistent contact with me. She sent me info regarding pre-op and post-op instructions, helping me with medication prescription, everything. And everyone in the office was always willing to help answer my questions if Danielle wasn’t available.
The night before my surgery (Sunday), Dr. Houssock called me from home to touch base, see how I was feeling, went out over any last minute questions, and just the overall plan for the day.
I was scheduled for a bilateral thighplasty for 1/3. I was created and prepped by Val K, RN. Val was amazing! So kind, supportive, sociable. Val went over all of the post-op and after care instructions with my friend (who is also an OR nurse) and then took me back to get ready. It felt like have a casual breakfast conversation with a good friend. Next I meat Sara, CRNA. Again, incredible! Sara is on her game! We went over medications, possible interactions, she explained step by step everything that would happen on her end. Lastly I met with Dr. Houssock and Val again. Dr. H went over what her intended plan was and afterwards asked me what I wanted to do in terms of the procedure (where I wanted lipo, problem areas, etc). We did some before pictures and marking.
Next up I was taken to the OR where I was greeted by other staff and a warmed OR table and lots of blankets. Sara ensured that I was comfortable, down to readjusting my hair and positioning my limbs for comfort. Some pleasant conversation and then I was out.
I woke up to Val’s smiling face, sitting at the bedside. She had already called my friend who was taking me home. Val helped me get dressed and out the care safely.
I’ve been very comfortable since getting home. The pain of the equivalent to a decent leg day at the gym. Though I'm starting to get still and I’m sure I’ll be in more pain tomorrow. Dr. Houssock called me in the evening to see how I was feeling and to answer any questions.
Hands down, highly recommended!! I plan on do more procedures with Dr. Houssock in the future and I could not be happier with my choice.
