I love the before and after pics so I thought I would share some of mine. First a little background. I am 51 years old and 5'6". My highest weight was 320+ 15 years ago. I had my VSG done by Dr Aceves, Mexicali Mexico on Nov 12, 2010 at 270 lbs. I had my lower body lift done by Dr Gavin Dry, Kirkland Washington on March 14, 2012 at 177lbs. They took off almost 17 lbs whi*****luded lipo as well as lipo of the outter thighs. Today I weigh 152.4 pounds.

Sorry about the quality of the before pics but they are the only ones i have. Taken on March 14th 2012.

Hello fellow Olympian!

You look FABULOUS! Dr Dry does very nice work, and it's a bonus that he's just a nice guy too.

I sorta laugh when you mention the before pics being the only ones you have, because I had my only naked before pics on ONE camera, to be deleted after I had my plastics. Well, my camera was stolen, and whatever jerk took it must have burned his retinas and been blinded with those.

Some times dingle berries are the lowest hanging fruit.

I agree. He does great work. It still amazes me everyday to look in the mirror and see the results he was able to acheive.

Hope your doing well in your recovery!

GREAT pics.....I can't wait to get my tummy tuck!!! I've seen your tummy tuck surgeons name but wanted to make sure he was good before calling him. How much did it cost??? I'm almost afraid to ask!!!

Hi and Thank You! What I had was a lower body lift which is quite a bit different then a tummy tuck. The lower body lift with muscle tightening and lipo, flattens and tightens the tummy, lifts the monds area and the outer thighs along with the butt. So happy I went that route as opposed to just a tummy tuck. The cost for the lower body lift ran just under $20,000 all inclusive and was worth every penny. I did a lot of research and believe Dr Dry is one of the best in the greater northwest area. I went from a size 10 before lift to a size 4, yes, a size 4. It amazes me everyday. Dr Dry also recently preformed a breast lift(no implants) combined with an arm lift and am absolutely loving my results of that surgery as well. I swear the man is not only an extremely gifted surgeon but must be part magician as well. I am currently scheduled for my last plastics with Dr Dry which will be a full thigh lift on October 1st.

Good luck with your future procedures!
