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!
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.

Hi everyone, 12 years out in May.
235 down to 115....
I have decided to have my arms done , wondering if anyone is near me or surrounding states that knows an excellent plastic surgeon ?
Thank You
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.

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.
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)
