Do you know how much skin was removed? I think I would be a little "dark" and ask for photos lol

Thank you for sharing! I will want to have my thighs done soon and have been diagnosed with Lipedema so I am hoping that the diagnosis will help have the procedure covered!

Topic: RE: those of you who have used Dr. Sauceda....what are costs and what does it all entail to start

Yes, he does the 360 body lift, also called a lower body lift. He also does breast lifts (with or without implants), but this is a separate procedure. You can have them both done at the same time.

I just had an extended TT with my arms done and I 100% agree! This was much easier than my WLS, cake walk except for the drains, they are a bit&$. Surgery was 2/10

Trying to schedule mine right now and my insurance approved it first time out and I think that was because a) I had a ton of documentation and b) my surgeons office knows how to code correctly.

Topic: Thighplasty vs. Skin Excision

I see a lot of questions about this topic, and how to get insurance to pay.

The key is a matter of semantics and coding.

Thighplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that tightens skin and underlying muscle. Most insurance will not pay for it. What I had, skin excision is a procedure to remove excess/redundant skin. In my case, it was paid for because of the constant skin infections and other issues.

Different procedures, different codes.

Topic: RE: post op pannelectomy

Thank you so much for your feedback on your experience. Easier than RnY? what kind of anesthesia did they use? Everywhere I have seen it's an outpatient surgery, so it's awesome you got the extra care (maybe insurance just has you stay overnight vs. cash pay)
