Total Transformation - 5 surgeries following a 220 lb weight loss
I am very happy despite being a long journey. I will be forever thankful to Dr. Quintin Chivers, Chief of Plastics. I had a breast reduction (no implants), abdominoplasty (FDL/MR), brachoplasty and thigh lift along with lipo. I am now 9 days post op from a revision butt lift. He removed another 5 inches of skin. I had some spots re-open on my scar thought to be a rejection of internal sutures. I have had no infections and have healed well. He has listened carefully and has a wonderful bedside manner. Some of my incisions have completely faded and most of my scars are very flat and now just need to fade into my skin.

I had weight loss surgery and lost 220 lbs. This...
I had weight loss surgery and lost 220 lbs. This surgery has not been that bad. The worse part is realizing that I am temporarily disabled and unable to care for myself. I am almost off pain medication now which is great. I am still very tired. My plastic surgeon is Dr. Chivers and he is absolutely wonderful. My self esteem is increasing from the work that he has done for me. I am seeing a body I am loving. It helps that Dr. Chivers and his staff are wonderful and attentive to my care. I have also had a breast reduction, a tummy tuck, arm lift. This surgery was 6 hours in length and I traveled home the same day.
