I have a consultation appointment this evening.  I have a list of questions, but wanted to ask you all if you had questions you wish you had asked or think I should be sure to ask.  I'm inquiring about tummy tuck and brachioplasty.

I know one question I had was if they felt that a tummy tuck was a good option or if I needed a full LBL. The surgeon recommended the full LBL. I asked him how much time he thought I needed for recovery, and what sort of pain management he would recommend.

I also asked him to look at my whole body naked and tell me what he thought would be the biggest difference in terms of my appearance since I needed my legs, arms, breasts, stomach and face done. He said that doing my breasts and stomach at the same time goes together the best and would make the biggest difference.

I also asked if he would take care of my pubic area since that is really an issue, and if I had to pay extra for that. Hope that helps.
