Good morning everyone, ...

Good morning everyone, I had a consult yesterday with Dr. Zabel for tt, inner thigh lift, breast left with possible implants and the bags under my eyes. The dr. said he could do the first three in one surgery. Whats some of your feelings on this? Out of the three consults I've had I really like Dr. Zabel. He is very nice, explains everything to you and not to mention easy on the eyes. Thanks, Michele

Michele, If I were you and they gave you the option of doing three at the same time, i would jump on it. I mean, who wants to go under the knife again and again if you don't have to? You can heal one time and get it over with. However, I haven't read any studies on this myself, so I don't know if it's safe, but I don't see why it wouldn't be if the doc is mentioning it. Did he mention a cost for doing the three surgeries? I heard it's also a little cheaper to do it all at once, so you won't be paying for the anethstesia, hospital stay, etc. three times. I won't be thinking about this stuff for a while, but I would love to know the cost and if insurance is covering anything??? Let us know! Thanks! Kristen

Michele, I had a tt, breast lift, butt lift and arms at one time. It is a lot to recover from. The breast lift is a breeze, but the implants makes the recovery more difficult. I will probably have the thighs done next year. Both of the doctors I consulted with said the thighs are the most sensitive and require the most recovery time. I had Dr. Joe Danyo. He is a wonderful surgeon. I actually had two preop consults with him because I was full of questions. He is really laid back. He even called me the night before surgery to see if I was ready. Refers to himself as Joe. I think he is pretty cool in my book. He's not bad on the eyes either, but he's taken! Has a beautiful family. Best wishes, Deb
