Tummy Tuck Austin TX Area

Hello,    I had weight loss surgery Jan 11, 2011 and have lost 75 pounds.  I need a tummy tuck.  Can anyone suggest a surgeon in the Austin, Texas area?  -- Thanks

Hello neighbor!  I haven't had any PS yet so I will be watching replies to this as well.

Hopefully I'll get replies.  My good friend had wls and tummy tuck.  She says to make sure that the plastic surgeon knows that your weight loss is from wls surgery and not bearing children.  I guess there is a difference, not sure what though.

What if it is due to both? lol  I have heard good things about Dr. Steve Holzman, just from some CPMC personnel  - he has a lot of experience with WLS patients.

http://www.aspiraplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon-austin-tx/ I've heard good things about Dr. Errella. He visits our support group now and then at NAMC.

I'm not opposed to go to Mexico for surgery.  Can you tell me how much he charges for a tummy tuck?

He's not in Mexico. I know he offices part time with my surgeon and part time in Westlake, I believe? I don't know his prices, I just know he seems to know his stuff and the people that have gone to him like him. The coordinator of the support group I go to her in Austin (NAMC St David's off of Mopac, 2nd Wednesday at 6:30pm) went to him and he did good work on his LBL.

If you are willing to travel, Dr Sauceda is in Monterrey Mexico and does a great job.  We have a group here on OH, you can click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line and it'll take you over to the group.

I'm in Dallas, and have a great PS here if you are interested, but I am sure that there are excellent ones in Austin.  Do you research and find one that you TRUST, that is experienced w/ patients that have experienced massive WL and then go for it.  The differences about having kids or not,  is that there is no muscle tightening in the TT if you have  not had kids.  I had a LBL with no muscle tightening as I have not had kids.  As you can imagine, not having your muscle cut makes the recovery SOOOO much easier.
