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!

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.
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.

That's awesome! Would you mind sharing the surgeon's name?

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 !
We are going to see what the insurance will pay for first!
