My complications didn't start until 2 weeks post-op starting with pneumonia, then wound dehiscence week 2.5 - week 4 with treatment still ongoing (week 11), then a pulmonary embolism at 7.5 weeks. Just an example to show you're not necessarily out of the woods at 7-10 days!

Hi Jaz,

I'm not sure. Those questions need to be answered by Dr Sauceda. [email protected]

I know I had a breast lift, lower body lift, sm thigh and my arms on a Thur and a full facelift on Monday. I went by myself and did fine. I was also 59. I took powdered protein shakes and bars with me, but mostly ate the clinic food then at the hotel. Breakfast has eggs, waffles, fruit, beans, cereal. Not the continenal you get at most places. Enough for breakfast and snack later plus. I ate at the little mall right behind the hotel, Applebees, or the Italian place. There is also a food court at the HEB which is on the end of the mall.

The price goes down as you combine procedures. The LBL - $7200, breast lift 4500, w/aug 5500. Everyone prices are going to be different depending on your body and what needs to be done. Think about the price of a new Prius and start saving.

My mons area is completely sideways and I had two belly flaps and only the bottom one was completely removed. He is going to make a vertical incision and pull the top to the center to get rid of the upper one. It won't be anywhere nearly as invasive as the belt lipectomy.

He said the mons is easily fixed but right now, it's still swollen, tender and numb. I hate to even touch it!

Good! I'm glad you feel better. I have to have a revision so I'm thinking I won't feel right for a LONG time. I made the appointment yesterday and I put it off to November. I've already lost the whole first half of the summer, I don't want to lose the rest. I'll do it in the winter.

Geez... I hope it doesn't take 2 and a half years! Yikes!
