Plastics

I am just starting to do some reaserch on getting plastic surgery after weight loss and am looking for any info on which doctor is the best and about how much does it cost. I am looking to have a tummy tuck, breast lift, inner thight lift and maybe getting rid of the extra skin from my arms. If anyone has any sugestions they would be most welcome

I live in the upstate of SC, so I can't be of any help with the doctor. I had a lower body lift ( belt lipectomy), breast lift with some reduction and I paid $11,700.00 out of pocket. My insurance wouldn't cover any of it. I wanted the thigh lift and arms done, but after talking to the surgeon and researching it, I decided not to get them. The PS said that thigh lifts are hard to heal and both leave a lot of scaring. I would rather have the lose skin than scars that can be seen.
 Good luck to you!

Dr. Harvey did my plastics in DT Charleston.  I had a TT and BA and it was around $11,500.00 (all inclusive).  He did it outpatient in his surgery center.  There are quite a few of us Charleston girls that have used him and we love him...

I also know Dr. B recommends the MUSC doctor.  If you can get your insurance to cover it that is great, but they do it inpatient at MUSC which makes it a lot more expensive if insurance doesn't cover it.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

I had my surgery in Mexico, and have heard lots of great things about PS in Mexico too. So when its time for PS, Ill go there. Check out the PS board here and most people will know about this place...http://www.medicaltourism.com.mx/page9.php
The offer package deals too. Plus, the hospital in Monterrey (san Jose) is very luxurious. .. sure beats the rooms in SC hospitals. The San Hose rooms are more like Maternity Suites,, very nice.

I have had a consult with Dr. Harvey and liked him and his staff very much.  I visited several other dr's with a friend of mine looking into it also and I still liked Dr. Harvey best.  Several of the girls in LCBB have used him and liked him also.

I'm so glad you liked Dr Harvey.  I think he's the best.  I'm still saving up to get him to fix my tummy tuck done elsewhere
Miss ya, let's get together soon
