Love my Body by Sauceda
Hello Jennifer R. My name is Dr Peter Fisher. I live in San Antonio. I specialize in post massive weight loss body contouring. It is very understandable that you are anxious about further surgery. That is normal. With the amount of weight loss that you have had (awesome) it does sound like a lower body lift will be needed. A few comments about this.
Firstly the pain is not particularly worse than a regular tt as most pain is on the abdominal side.
A significantly more amount of improvement can be obtained with a lower body lift. In my hands this comprises 5 things.
1 tummy tuck
2 mons lift
3 lateral thigh lift
4 buttock lift
5 ability to do a buttock and hip auto-augmentation.
I know you said that you had full hips and buttock but rest assured when a competent LOL is done the buttock is flattened as are the hips giving a somewhat narrower and boxy look to hip area.
I do not charge extra for these.
A LOL In Total Costs $12,500 including a 2 night stay in the hospital.
Whomever you see, make sure that they are experienced in these procedures and look at before and after photos.
