Has anyone paid for a panni on their own? Would you recommend your PS physician? How much did it cost?

Hey Linda, if Tallia's at coffee tomorrow, talk to her (or Facebook her). Her Mom had some PS done with Dr. Lokeh and I know she was extremely satisfied with her results!

ohhhhh really? I have heard things about him, that weren't so positive....interesting, i might have to ask her about her Mom's experience...and we all know there are two sides to every surgeon recommendation....I still like mine....

I had a lower body lift (cut all the way around and up the front) and breast lift (no implants) done together, outpatient, back in 2004 for about $11K. Dr. Michael Fasching at West Health was my surgeon and I'd highly recommend him.

It's better to be imperfectly happy than perfectly unhappy.

OMG, Lori, that sounds way too painful to be outpatient! I would need the "happy" machine....LOL

It was painful - plain and simple, it sucked. But I did have happy drugs and I saved a boatload of cash not having to pay for a hospital stay. Looking back, I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's great having a flat tummy and boobs up where they belong!
