Has  anyone here had Sauceda do their thigh lift? What were the costs? Are you pleased with the results? Any information you can give me would be helpful.

I went to Dr Quiroz for the first round of PS but I am not comfortable going back to him because of some post-op complications. I am exploring my options. :)

Diane B, Kruella is her username, has had the large thigh lift, and her results are absolutely beautiful!  She has pictures under her profile as well.

Good luck!

Yeah, looks like we're in the exact same boat.. I'm happyish with my arms but my stomach is a mess. :(

And it turned out to be a 5" long perm suture that was tangled and rejecting. Created a massive hematoma and infected some nerves.  This is the 10th perm blue suture to reject. So pissed.

The surgeon that I've been seeing here in Edmonton (he's a general surgeon) couldn't believe it when he saw the permenant sutures. He pulled a couple of them out of the infected area (which was about 2" deep into my abdomen) and showed them to me and I was like "yep. I have them everywhere" and he was seriously confused - he wasn't sure how I even knew what they were. I explained that they are really close to the tops of my incisions everywhere on my body and that you can see the blue through my skin ..

I did a lot of research as well.. we were doing our research around the same time if I remember right. :) I never had anyone say anything negative about him... and like you, I heard the horror stories AFTER the fact. I mean.. my body definitely is better than what it was before but no where near what it should look like. I HAVE NO BELLY BUTTON!

I will take some close up shots and post them soon. I took far away shots because it's easier to hide the imperfections (including the crazy LBL scars and lack of a BB) .. I didn't really want people to know I was unhappy... but I don't care anymore.

I got away with not paying the last $2500 of my surgeries because I had accidentally sent my money orders in CDN funds instead of US and they didn't realize until after they did the surgery. They made me feel very guilty about it and I intended on paying the difference once I found out about the mistake.. but I decided not to because I was angry.

I'm sorry about your Dr Q issues. I know it doesn't fix anything for you, but when you told of your results in a earlier post, and it led to others telling of their unhappiness with Dr Q, I took him off my list of prospective surgeons. I don't think I'm the only one who decided he was not the right surgeon. You DID help save me from him, and I appreciated that you shared that.

It gets more likely by the day that I'll go to Dr Sauceda for several surgeries, and still have to find anyone with botched results that feels he did wrong by them.
