Wow, your results look fabulous - but that picture of your fat and skin - wow so gross - you must be so happy to get all that excess tissue out of you. And I see your much hated drains LOL.
I'm particularly thrilled at how great your breasts look without implants - that's what I want, I don't want to worry about replacing implants. Thanks for sharing.

And these are still a full C according to my surgeon. So not bad at all. They are definatly perky and one of the first things I noticed coming out of surgery - I looked down and said " My boobs aren't in my arm pits anymore!!!" LOL!
They are very full and firm like a teen again!:) And ALLLLLLLL mine! I too like that I dont have to deal with implants!

To be honest - I did a lot of calling around. Then I got on the board and complained about my searching. A wonderful lady here on the board told me about her Surgeon Dr. Lomonaco and raved about him. I went to visit him and instantly knew from my visit that I was done searching.
The entire experience there put me at ease. I walked in and sat down and watched TV episodes of his show - had a drink of tea. The office staff treated me respectfully and like family. One of the ladies even had similar adoption situation as ourselves. The Surgeon was very clearly someone who cares a great deal about his patients and isn't looking at patients as a paycheck coming through the doors.
It's a very personal decision and I really think you will know when you find him.

It is absolutly worth it - in my opinion to come to Houston for Dr. Lo. My experience with him has been phenomenal.
He had a loss in the family while doing my surgery, and yet continued to come visit me and didn't shove me off on some "stand in " doc. He also gave me his personal cell number so I was able to contact him PERSONALLY this weekend when I had my ER visit while he was dealing with his family business.
I truely don't believe you will find another surgeon quite like him - GENUINELY like him - anywhere else!:)
Plus - if you wait long enough to do it (another week or two) Ill come visit you where you are staying and bring you magazines and paint your toenails!:)
