I thought since a lot of people are looking for recommendations for surgeons (including myself a few weeks ago) that we should all post about our surgeons and our experiences with them. Be sure to put the name of your surgeon, what you had/having done, where your surgeon is located and what hospital they use.

Me: Dr. LoMonaco - Houston, Texas
        Full Tummy Tuck (skin removal),Lipo to back and hips, and breast lift
        Houston Hospital for Specialized Surgery 
        
I have yet to have surgery yet - but I have to say that from walking into the door, meeting Dr. Lo, talking with the Financing staff etc, I have felt completely at ease with my entire experience. They are very great about relaxing you, and answering all your questions. All seem to genuinely care about YOU, and your situation and needs! The other day Lighting struck and messed up their computers/phones for a day - so they actually went home and called me from there to tie up loose ends - THAT is dedication! I look forward to my surgery in March and cannot wait to finish my review!
OH - I FORGOT - They also told me today that they call you daily for a week after surgery to check on you and answer any quetions you have! Great followup!

Dr. Lomonaco - Houston, TX
LBL with anchor cut and Breast Lift, lipo to the back
Houston Hospital for Specialized Surgery

Dr. Lomonaco is AMAZING!!  I could not be more happy!!  His staff did call me every day after surgery and even gave me the office manager's cell phone number in case I needed anything on the weekend or the evening!!  And Dr. Lomonaco's follow up is amazing...he knows exactly what to look for and stays on top of everything!!  I had my procedures one month ago and can't wait to schedule my arms and thighs!!!

I went to Dr. Sauceda in Mexico.  Many OH patients have gone before me so I was able to get their glowing first hand accounts and was able to see their amazing results.  Way way more first had references and pictures of results than I could get for any US plastic surgeon.  Plus I could never have afforded to have all the work I had done with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mx here in the US.  He is a wonderful person, a gifted plastic surgeon, and he and his team do everything possible to make sure his US patients are well cared for and comfortable.  i also believe because his medical tourism practice is booming he has a lot of experience working on reconstruction after weight loss.

It is still is another country and you have to be able to realize that some things will be different but I really appreciated having a nurse come to help me shower, replace my bandages and dress every day for the first 10 days after surgery as well as being able to see and talk in person with my doctor every one of those days as well.

I just want to say that there are good doctors in other countries, you just have to do your research.  Dr. Sauceda is a really good one.

Dr. Lam from Bucks county plastics is my PS,
he is amazing, he did all my work, first my Abdominoplasty, then inner thigh & Butt & back, & bra fat area, then brachiioplasty & Blepharoplasty and on Monday he just did  my carpal tunnel on my hand and a neck/facelift I ams so  pleased with the results as you can see in all my profile pix. for some reason after he removed my bra fat area my breasts looked better & they don't have to be done,  they never looked so good ,, cause I never really wanted implants
His office staff is Awesome, I just love them all, I am all finished with plastics but he will be doing my other hand for carpal tunnell in September.
Im gad to be finished with plastics but I will miss them all and my Dr. I have been seeing them every month since Oct 2009

Did you have a full length thigh lift or medial? I have a friend in Bucks County who would let me stay with her if I have surgery there. I need a full length, my thighs literally hang over my knees. :(

I had a full length from knee to groin, he said the results are better that way, my legs/thighs are so thin they look great, give him a call 215-702-8600

Is he associated with Barix clinics.  My sister had an RNY there.  I wanted the VSG and no surgeons in PA (I live in Chester County) had much experience if any so I went to San Francisco.  Does Dr. Lam do fat grafting do you know?  I surprised a PS did Carpal Tunnel surgery.
