My mons area is completely sideways and I had two belly flaps and only the bottom one was completely removed. He is going to make a vertical incision and pull the top to the center to get rid of the upper one. It won't be anywhere nearly as invasive as the belt lipectomy.

He said the mons is easily fixed but right now, it's still swollen, tender and numb. I hate to even touch it!

Good! I'm glad you feel better. I have to have a revision so I'm thinking I won't feel right for a LONG time. I made the appointment yesterday and I put it off to November. I've already lost the whole first half of the summer, I don't want to lose the rest. I'll do it in the winter.

Geez... I hope it doesn't take 2 and a half years! Yikes!

Folks looking into PS want to see where the scars are and how they look. Everyone scars differently. 7.5 yrs after my PS, I can still wear a bikini, not well, but it allows me to get a bit of a tan! I'll never have a model body or be a size 2 with 38" hips, but my girls still look great, so much better than the floppy 40DD with headlamps pointing at my feet.

I know that there are extremely highly skilled plastic surgeons out of the country, and the cost differential is enormous. I am sure that most plastic surgeons catering to an overseas clientele will go out of their way to ensure that their patients are safe and stable before they are released to fly back home. But the possibility of having a serious problem after you leave that doctor's care (and country!) is something which must be considered. I'm not sure how to resolve that potential for trouble, as I doubt most overseas surgeons have backup/follow-through doctors here in the states, if any.
