Topic: RE: Recommendations for PS in Pgh

If you want to pay for PS with insurance, you will need to check with your insurance company for your coverage and participating doctors. Good luck because most Plastic Surgeons don't take insurance and most insurance won't cover any plastics other than mastectomy reconstruction.

Topic: Recommendations for PS in Pgh

I need recommendations for a PS in the North Hills part of Pittsburgh PA. I would like to use insurance if possible so they would have to accept highmark. Speaking of insurance was anyone else able to get a breast reduction/lift approved and also a panny removal? Thanks!

After both recent surgeries, he would spend hours stretched out on my belly with his nose next to mine. If I moaned, he would lick my face a few times to remind me that he was there.

He is a rescue cat that we've had for about 2 years. He'd had 5 or 6 homes before ours and was returned or dumped because he can be a difficult and moody cat. He still has his troubles, but he can also be such a sweet heart and we love him dearly.

Thanks Pat! I appreciate your input. The incisions are really looking good for the time post-op and the drainage is slowly going down, just not as fast as I'd like. I keep repeating to myself the mantra "no seromas" when I feel discouraged! It's down to about 15 cc a day now so it hopefully won't be much longer.

I think it looks like you're healing great!! If the drain wasn't getting that serous drainage out, it would be building up inside. When the insides are healed enough, the drainage will stop. Keep the protein intake up.

Not giving medical advice, but I was a wound specialist in my Nursing years.

Yes, Holmes has to be in the center of everything! I didn't notice that he got in the picture until I was uploading it! He loves to stretch himself out on my belly like a ho****er bottle keeping me warm and comfy!
