I had my plastcis with Dr. Reinblatt July 12. 2010. As a doctor, her bedside manner is GREAT!!!!! She is very thourough with making sure you understand everything. I had a breast reduction with lift, tummy tuck/abdominoplasty & a thigh lift.
I spent 24 hours in the hospital. The scars---- my tummy tuck scar is low, same place I had my hysterectomy....it goes hip to hip & this summer when I wore a bikini you could not see it. On my tummy, she replaced my belly button to where it should be, so there is a scar around it.  My breast scars---- they are under my breasts and I have a small line that goes towards the armpit area. And where she removed, resized, and replaced my areola/nipples....you can not even see that scar!!!!!!
As for recovery time, mine was different because I ended up with a massive infection and had to have SEVERAL follow up surgeries due to the infection. What should have been a couple weeks, ended up in a couple months for me. \
Good luck and please tell Dr. Reinblatt I said hello!!!!!! She WILL remember me! If you have anymore questions, please let me know!~

How far is Hughsville from Baltimore?  I lived in MD for 10 years and never really learned how to get around too much. I live in Laurel and then Odenton before I we purchased a house in Charles Town, WV.

 Just spreading some of my joy in registering for this - NOT asking for donations from my OH family!

On October 29th, there's a walk in DC at Freedom Plaza to raise money for the Whitman-Walker clinic and my DH & I will be among those walking! We're not quite ambitious enough to do the 5K just yet but we've been spending my post-op life putting our feet where our mouths are; raising money for causes that we're passionate about or affected by. So if anyone's curious about the walk, here's the link: http://www.aidswalkwashington.org/

Cari,

Just wanted to come by and check how are you coming along these days.  I hope all is well.
