breast surgerys? a...

breast surgerys? anyone had breast surgery yet? lift, remodeling, structure etc. ha ha ha? any names of docs? where? when? what do you recommend? your advice or suggestion would be deeply appreciated.

Yep - but this was a couple years prior to WLS. I had a breast reduction. I highly recomment Dr. Armando Soto at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore for any plastics. He does wonderful work. He has also worked with other patients that have had gastric bypass or lost a lot of weight. Dr. Soto is located in the Weinberg building that is attached to the main hopital in downtown. I also happen to work in IT at Mercy and support the OR software as well as other applications. The staff all really like him as well. He has a great rep.

well, since you asked....I am scheduled for a full TT w/muscle tightening next Monday, Sept 19th, followed by a breast lift w/implants in January.... So far, I highly recommend Dr. Vogel, Baltimore. He and his staff have been beyond anything I can describe....everyone is wonderful and VERY helpful. I had questions...they told me the nurse would call me back...nope, Dr. Vogel himself called me...that was a shocker...he encouraged me to call HIM back if I had any other questions or concerns. Dr. Vogel came highly recommended to me...so I interviewed him...I was sold, and my husband was VERY impressed....btw, as a sidenote, I knew I wanted a man "to do" my breasts....to a woman they are "just boobs"..but to a man, they are B-R-E-A-S-T-S!!!!! Anyway, just my opinion...anyway, he had LOTS of pictures of beautiful breasts that he had done...I think of him as an artist...also, he has worked on other WLS patients. Check out his website...I don't have it right now, but do a search for Dr. Vogel, Baltimore, md and his website will come up....with pictures.... Also having some lipo done....Dr. Vogel was very kind and actually came up with a few ideas that I hadn't thought of....including some lipo....by the time I left I realized that I am actually going to look better than I thought possible.... Of course in the wash/baltimore area, we are very lucky because there are SO many great doctors/surgeons...but for me, Dr. Vogel won hands down. Best wishes to you, RAE

As posted, there are some great doc's in this region, do yourself a favor and interview several and ask for references of WLS patients. I had breast and arm lift in April of this year. Both turned out beautifully and arms are a tough area with scarring, etc. My breast lift was exceptional (hubby quite pleased The hand stitching made a difference and I didn't lose any sensation which some doctor's will tell you that you may or you will. Best wishes... do your homework and it is worth the effort of several consults. My surgeon is Adam Basner MD in Lutherville and I have had an exceptional experience with he and his staff. They are great! /Lisas
