Royal Lower Body Lift - 100% Would Recommend

*Statistics*
I had the Royal Lower Body Lift with Dr. Carmina Cardenas May 3rd, 2019. At the time of my surgery, the procedures included were; 360 skin removal (I opted for the additional vertical Flur de Lis), muscle repair, butt lift, outer thigh lift, pubic lift, lipo to the back, and fat transfer. I am female, 25 years old, and weighed 142 pounds at the time of surgery. I am a post massive weight loss patient, I had the RNY gastric bypass May 3rd, 2018, high weight of 260 pounds, meaning I had lost 118 pounds.

I had 8 pounds of skin re-sectioned and an additional 4 pounds of fat liposuctioned out for a total of 12 pounds of mass removed during surgery. I spent 8 days in the recovery house where they feed you very healthily and I estimate I lost another 5 pounds during that time period. My lowest recorded weight after surgery was 130.6 pounds 2 weeks post op. I currently maintain at 135 pounds at 3 months post op.

*Doctor Review*
I highly recommend Dr. Cardenas. My whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. Contacting and coordinating my trip and procedures with the Beauty Enhance team was easy and well organized. I had all of my questions answered quickly and completely. There was always open communication and the team works on the weekends as well so you are never waiting for a response.

I couldn't have asked more from the surgery itself. Dr. Cardenas removed 100% of my excess abdominal skin, lifted my lower body to an amazing degree, gave me a very nice waist, and really exceeded my expectations with rounding out my hips and butt, exceptionally considering that those were down at like 5 or 6 on the priority list.

Recovery was difficult (I'll post a more complete recovery description under the review of the procedure itself), but the recovery house was all I could ask for. The 24 hour nurses were friendly and well organized and on top of everything. Dr. Cardenas makes visits to the house every day or every other day to check on everyone. Once released from the house, you send updated photos regularly so that the Dra can continue to monitor your recovery and make sure everything is going well. Any questions or concerns are taken seriously and answered quickly and completely.

I 100% would recommend Dr. Cardenas for a Lower Body Lift or Tummy Tuck type procedure. She specializes in post massive weight loss clients and is an expert!
