EYORE'S SISTER HERE ...

I'm a little saggy baggy these days. Now that I'm within about 27-30 pounds of my goal weight - I'm wondering about all sorts of things plastic surgery related.Of course watching EXTREME MAKEOVERS helps fuel this fire! Where in Iowa are good WELL RESPECTED surgeons, clinics, etc. for this type of thing. I'm in the Quad City/Muscatine area.And how do I start getting insurance approval for this type of thing? Would you go first for parts that show (like the face?) or would you go for things like saggy belly, funky looking thighs, etc.? me back!

I went to Dr. Eckhardt for my abdominoplasty. He is located at the Trinity campus in Moline Illinois and I think very highly of him, he is a perfectionist and did a great job. He submitted for a bunch of procedures for me and I would recommend him to anyone. I just called my insurance company to make sure he was in our network (I have PPO) and they said they would pay for the consult with him, I just had a regular copay for that initial visit. Dr. Eckhardt's office took care of the rest. I have had no prolems with my face, my neck, chin area all firmed up on it's own, but would botox help with that? I wanted arms and thighs and breasts done also and maybe when I win the lotto I will get some more done, but for now I just did what the insurance paid for. Any other questions, either email me or post it here. Hope this helps. Julie

I have known Dr. Ron Bergman in Des Moines for many years. In fact, he was a resident when I worked in surgery many moons ago. He is very good at what he does. His nurse is a very close friend of mine. I will have him do my surgery when the time comes.
