I'm in GR and years ago used Dr. Andrew Livingston. He has office space in with Grand Health Partners. He and his office staff did everything they could to help me get my insurance to cover it. After an appeal they did cover my panni portion and the hospital stay.

Since he does share office space and doesn't have his own facility like a lot of the other plastic surgeons I found his pricing very reasonable. My cousin who works for a plastic surgeon said I got a great deal as for what I paid for all 4 procedures they probably would have charged for just one.

Hi everyone, I am 32 years old and had my first round of plastics last Tuesday, September 3 -- an arm lift and a breast lift w/ aug. I weighed 144 that morning and yesterday I weighed in at 158. I am GOBSMACKED omg. The compression garments help a lot but they just squish out all the fluid to adjacent areas like my wrists/hands and abdomen. I am really just all around swollen. My thighs haven't touched in years and suddenly even they are chafing again.

I see my surgeon tomorrow for our one week post-op appointment and have sent her pics and I also saw her at day 3 post-op for her to change the dressings on my arm. My surgeon has tried to reassure me the swelling is normal and I really do trust her, but 14 pounds normal? Did anyone else go through this?

My experience is insurance will pay a very limited amount for very limited surgery ... they will pay for a panni removal for regaining mobility but not a tummy tuck . So you still end up paying to look good !

I found a great surgeon in Mexico for about 1/2 the price .. a real artist . I felt safe cared for and he really made me look and feel beautiful at a reasonable price . I could have tried to get similar surgery partially paid for in the US through insurance - but I would have paid more for less than by simply medical touristing to Mexico.

It went great! I did another post 6 weeks ago, lots of info. :)
