I appreciate your comments and completely understand how you could wonder how I would go back again and again... I started with my surgeon (I'd rather not give his name) a year after my surgery in 2006. He did my lower body lift and bracheoplasty at that time. The arms were and are fine, and my stomach area is indeed a work of art. Still, after 12 years! I've never seen better. At that time my back opened up, which was truly traumatic. That was not his fault. My skin is older and non-elastic. I eventually healed and it is fine. He also did my upper thigh at that time, which was also fine. The breasts were an issue again due to non-elasticity and probably my previous breast surgery in 1984 when I had a major reduction. So the issues that occurred when I had my initial problems in 2012 with the breasts were unexpected, and he was determined to get it right no matter what. I don't believe these were his fault and he eventually had to put in an internal bra, which did the trick. I am upset THIS time because he should have foreseen the traveling implant when changing it due to the past experience.

As for not taking out enough from the thighs, this I am pissed off about. It is obvious that there was a lot more to remove the moment I removed the dressings. I did a lot of reading this week about the sensitivity and possibility of the wounds opening up -- I am not so special in this case. But not removing enough to make a real difference is what I'm livid about. But at this point I am NOT going to go to someone else to fix it. I know he will take care of it and get it right. He has done my whole body and, other than the thighs, I've been satisfied with my results. Fixing the breast is very minimal in terms of recovery, pain and time. So I'm just bugged with that part. I've never read on here that a surgeon eats the whole fix when it doesn't go right. He stands behind his work, which eventually is right. I can't imagine at this point going to someone else. I blew my money on this, and there's no more for anyone else. He WILL take care of me. I'm just PISSED.

My plastic surgeon is a true artist. Everything is done perfect the first time. What a nightmare to have one who wants to practice on you until he gets it right. He should be paying you for using you as his experiments.

I'm rapidly approaching 64. I had a vertical thigh lift on July 17th, 2018. It was clear right from the beginning that he did not remove enough skin and I still have hanging skin on my thighs (no fat). I did not spend all of that money to still not be able to wear shorts or shorter skirts than to my knee. It took me ten years to finally bite the bullet and do it because I knew it was going to be an extremely difficult recovery. So I'm pissed off. My surgeon agrees that I have reason to be displeased. He has done all of my plastic surgery and has always made it clear that he will do whatever he has to do to make me happy, on his dime. That is how I believe it should be. When he did my implants in 2012 I had to have it redone 3 times until it was right and never paid a penny after the first surgery. Now, in addition to the problems with the thigh lift, I had a rupture of my left implant. When he replaced it (at the same time as the thigh lift), it was not placed securely and is moving around to the side -- so that has to be fixed as well. I'm pissed off at this as well because this was the problem I had in the first implant surgery back in 2012 and I feel he should have read all of my notes from the first implant surgeries. I can handle fixing the implant, as there is really no pain at all in that area. But the thighs? What an uncomfortable area!!! And the area near the groin has opened up on both sides. A mess!!! I HATE to have to go through this again once I am healthy and healed!!!! I'm wondering if there is a way to pull it up rather than to cut from groin to knee. I can't believe how uncomfortable and painful this is after over 3 weeks.

I had to change my surgery date. Updates will follow. If anyone is interested.

Hi,

I know that Lima tends to be more economical when considering cosmetic surgery, but with the number of surgeons offering their services, it's hard to find out which surgeon one should consider for cosmetic surgery. I certainly don't want to base my surgeon by price, and most women tend to be mum about who they go to. I've only been given ONE personal recommendation, not leaving me much of anything to work with. I'm not asking anyone to make it public knowledge that they've had some "work" done, but it would be helpful if some direction was given. Any kind of surgery is no light matter, and much serious consideration has been given in this matter by my husband and I. PM me with your thoughts, opinions, personal experience(s), recommendations, referrals, etc. etc. if you do not wish to post, but still wish to share.

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
