I got home yesterday from having my Panni removed.  My procedure started at 7:30 am and when I woke up in recovery it was 9:30 am.  I left the hospital at 12:30 pm.  I am feeling great and not using to much pain meds.  The rny was less painful however after 24 hours this mini tummy tuck is not that bad at all.  I have one drain which is the worst part and I am wearing a binder but all in all I am feeling fantastic.

My insurance paid for the procedure except the $15 co-pay so that was great for me.  Thanks everyone for all your comments and posting on this forum it really helped me out and let me know what to expect.

Aloha,
Asia

Thanks Jessica.  BTW who is your surgeon that did your two girls.  My surgeon will cost me $7500 to get them done so I am just pricing around.  I had my surgery done at Queens.

I went to see Dr Sauceda in Monterrey for all of my plastics.  I had a lower body lift, breast lift with silicone implants, medial thigh lift, and lipo to tummy, back, sides, necks, and outer thighs with fat injections to my butt.  I paid $14,000 and that included a reimbursement of $600 of my flight, clinic stay, hotel, transportation, and 2 sets of garments.

Hey Jessica, What was the breakdown for those procedures? Do you know? I'm looking to get an inner thigh lift (vertical incision), lipo to my lower back, stomach and outer thighs as well as lipo to my neck.  I'm just curious to find out approx. what I would be looking at with Dr Sauceda.

Laura,

I don't have the breakdown for the procedures. I did price it with and without the lipo with fat grafting, and it would have been $2600 cheaper without the lipo and fat grafting.  Just send him an email, and he will give you a quote.  He is super nice and won't have a problem at all with giving you one.
