Topic: RE: Vegas Consutls with Dr Sauceda

Hi Chris, how can I find out when Dr Sauceda will be in the states next? I've looked at his website but do not see this information there. Thanks!

Topic: RE: surgeon recommendations

I didn't research that area, so I'm not sure, but if you don't get many responses (or even if you do), check www.realself.com. People write reviews of all kinds of doctors, but a lot of them seem to be plastic surgeons. I got a handful of names from there.

Topic: surgeon recommendations

I am looking to have the belt procedure with a thigh lift and would like a surgeon in the OH, KY, WV area. Does anyone have any recommendations. I have a couple of doctors in mind that I have researched but would like input.

That's great you're recovering well. The nerve "zaps" sound really strange, I'm glad they don't last long! :)

Updating again just in case anyone is curious about recovery!

A little over 3 weeks post-op. I can stand up almost straight (looks like I'm totally upright to the naked eye, but I'm not quite there). Lots of swelling, which is creating a lot of intense pulling in the mid section... I'm told this is normal. Just taking Tylenol twice a day. Sometimes I get weird nerve "zaps" which is a part of the healing process, but they can stop me dead in my tracks for a second because they are intense.

Incisions are basically healed and now I'll start working on scar treatment. The scars are thin and tiny... yay once more for Dr. Michaels.

Topic: Underarm Fat ..Bra Overhang Question

Have any of you successfully solved bra overhang / w freezing the tissues or other kinds of laser fat removal like thermage ? Did the results last and what was the cost ?

This is still a real trouble spot on my body ( formerly apple shaped ) . I hesitated to get liposucked here because there are so many sensitive lymph nodes in the underarm that if damaged will cause lifelong lymphedema and arm swelling .

My maternal grandfather had cancer surgery there and suffered a grotesquely swollen arm for the rest of his life so it's a very real threat . Any ideas / experience would b very much appreciated . Ty !
