questions for patients of Dr. Sauceda

I've been reading posts here for quite a while & have learned so much! After reading everyone's praise of Dr. Sauceda I've decided I should consider him as well.

Here's my situation, I've decided to have a tt & brachioplasty. These are are the two ares with the loose skin which are causing me to have to buy larger clothing to accomodate the extra flesh & make me the most self conscience. I despise my inner thighs but have to accept there is just so much money in my budget and two more kids to put through college.

I know how to take the pics of my arms, but for the abdomen how many directions do I need to take pics from? Am I correct he'd like to see the size of my panni from the side?

If I were to go with Dr. S. I would be going alone as my husband couldn't get off and there wouldn't be anyone to stay with our two teens. I'm not thrilled with the prospect of going alone, however a part of me is thinking that it would be less disruptive to my family to have my recovering elsewhere & coming home more like myself. I would be a little lonely without them for so long, but my squeemish husband would be spared & everyone wouldn't have to deal with a recliner in the living room!

I am so looking forward to making this decision & moving on with this!!!

 Hi Cindy!

Come join us in Dr. Saucedas group where there are lots of people to answer your question.

As far as the pictures, wear bikini panties and take pics from the front, back and both sides.

Dr. S doesn't have a secretary, but gets back to us pretty quickly.

I love my Body by Sauceda!

Thanks Lee!

I'll pick up a pair of unflattering bikini panties & get those pictures taken! lol

I've been reading posts on Dr. Saucedo's Group page; they're extremely informative. I hadn't considered joining as I haven't chosen him yet., now I realize the benefits & will be joining.

 No reason not to join. It doesn't mean you need to select him.  It's great for getting info!

Gina, below is the link for Dr. Sauceda's forum. I have had two phases of plastics with him, and I can assure you that you could NEVER find a more down to earth, caring, artistic plastic surgeon. He is simply the best !

 HI Cindy,

    I havent had my surgery with Dr S yet, but I go in two weeks. But I was worried about what pics to take and I was nervous because I didnt want anyone to take the pics for me. But I did it all myself. I set a little timer and did all my poses and it turned out good enough for the Dr to assess. I also did a front pose holding my arms up, Kinda like when a body builder flexes his muscles pose. Just so he can see how much skin hangs. I have the goal of posting my updates once I do my surgery so you can follow my progress. I am also going alone and I know I will be bored and it will be tough, but I know I will be fine doing it.
