Did Your Stomach Look Like This???

Leah, would you mind sharing an updated picture with me. I'm so worried that I won't be happy if I don't have the anchor cut, I'd like to see your results without it, thanks so much!!!!

P.S. I have the worst tension headache. I'm doing tons of research and trying to make my final decision, I'm driving myself crazy (it's a personality trait of mine, it's how I get so much accomplished, full time job- 7 kids, guess I need to be type A, BUUT, my head is killing me right now) LOL!!!

Hey...I think the extended and large are the same but not sure if he refers to the extended as the lower body lift...Not sure but I emailed him regarding both options.

I haven't taken one since 3 days post op because of swelling. I will soon. But you can look at my profile now as you are my friend. The password protected pic password is tummytuck. The other pic (before) is visible.

I have seen them and you look GREAT...He did an awesome job and I will look again...I am very excited.

hello my name is pat i live in nj.........i traveled 150 miles each way to see dr chapin....he is an awesome dr.....i have had 4 procedures done by him.........his staff is so pleasent and helpful....as a matter of fact i was there today to get some stitches out from my revision [ love handles].....he did in his office.......and he did an awesome job.....like i said i live 150 miles away and it was worth every mile......good luck....patty

OMG...I met with Dr. Chapin yesterday and he is AMAZING...Everything about him and his office...I first talked with Dori in 2008 before my GBS and she was great...The only problem is that his pricing is double Dr. S and unfortunately I am unable to afford him...He told me that I would LOVE my results and I am sure I would...Thought about it all night.

I really can't see your butt to determine if the full LBL is what you need but I think you would benefit most from an anchor cut.  I don't understand the fat transfer issue because I had the anchor cut with LBL, butt auto augmentation PLUS fat transfer to my butt with no problems.  I carried a lot of weight in my belly and am happy with my results!

You must have been reading the surgeons mind...lol...Dr. Chapin suggested the LBL w/ Anchor and Dr. S suggested the Extended with Anchor...I am going to leave the fat injections alone for now and concentrate on what is extreme for me...Thanks so much for your input.

What price did Dr. Chapin quote you?

I think I need an upper body lift.

Thanks

Hi Tasha, The LBL w/ Anchor was exactly 15,890, I would say that 2-3k was for the anchor (1730 for his fee and then the hospital cost)

BA/BL and arms was quoted 12,973 (done together) this included an overnight stay...Total is about 29,000 which is way out of my league...I was only working with about 17k and NEED all three done...

I am not going on anymore consults, he is a GREAT surgeon but I am sticking with Dr. S and we finalized my procedures today...Extended Tummy Tuck w/ Anchor, BL/BA and Arm Lift...No fat injections for me right now.
