Plastic Surgeons in Minnesota

I'm giving serious thought (and doing my research) into a hefty amount of plastic surgery.  My list includes LBL w/butt augmentation (I think), breast lift w/augmentation, and my batwings!

Has anyone had these (or some of these) done, or researched them?  Any done in Minnesota?  I'm curious as to cost and recovery time, and if I have to wait in between them, or can I have them all done in one procedure (or 2 close together).

If not Minnesota, then where?

Hi Mary,  Dr Fasching (sp?) has been frequently lauded on the three forums I've been involved with.  I'm having double medial thigh lift plus mini-panni October 20 with Dr Adam Lokeh of WestHealth in the metro area.  His credentials, representation, personal style, experience, and clientele references speak volumes. This had been recommended by my neurologist (MS) and medically necessary due to increased deviations with balance and falling. I have Social Security Disability insurance, which paid 100% for RNY with gall bladder removal two years ago, and these dual surgeries will also be covered 100% which surely alleviates pre-jitters.  Suggestion:  once you gain information on details, perhaps checking with your insurance regarding coverage would be helpful.  IMHO, cost and recovery time may vary. My experience has been this surgeon only takes clients who have maintained goal weight for one year. And it truly helps to know people with similar situations for pursuing plastics.  Additionally, I've amassed plentiful information and support on the Plastics board, where you may want to copy your post.  Best wishes to you as you present your questions, and I sincerely hope you're able to acquire the answers you seek.  Take care of you!  Patti  (this is long though merely attempting to be thorough, and hopefully I've not mentioned anything which could be misinterpreted as offensive.)

Thanks Patti.  I have been reading the PS forum a little, but haven't posted this question over there, yet. 

I'm going into this presume insurance won't pay for it, which is why I'm shopping around this much this early!

Good Luck to you, and thanks again!

Mary,

I recently went to see a PS. Her name is Angela Hatfield out of Fridley in the Unity Professional Bldg. She does her surgeries at West Health.

I felt she was very informative and in the middle range of cost......For a tummy tuck and batwing, her charge was around $10,200.

Google her name and you will find her credentials, etc.

Good luck.....

Kelly

Thank You!  The $10,000 is actually less than I was questimating for around here, so that's good to know!

Hi.......I had everything done that you are looking for except for the bat wings with Dr Fasching about a year ago.  Feel free to send me a PM and ask any questions.  I also have pictures to share if you are interested.
