Topic: RE: Abdominoplasty and panniculectomy

Congratulations! May I ask what insurance company covered it please? What state are you in? It also sounds like he/she did a tumy tuck? I have horrible rashes andeverything associated with it I am sure you know what I mean. I have been complaining for at least 8 years. Its all on paper. She keeps prescribing me cream to help aleviate the rash but it is only temporary. Its awful to say the least. Are your rashes gone completey? how was the recovery time if you dont mind me asking?

Topic: Ruptured implant

I had breast implants in 2007 and just recently found out that one of them has ruptured. I'm kinda upset because insurance may not pay to have them removed!

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue!

Topic: RE: Abdominoplasty and panniculectomy

Thank you hun I'm almost 2 months post op. My surgery was moved to 08/18 from 08/11. You need to start a paper trail with your pcp for rashes. Mine wrote up a letter and so did my surgeon. He did Abdominoplasty panniculectomy with muscle plication instead of Fluer de Lis and I'm so pleased

Topic: Plastic surgeon search

Hi this is my first time here in over 10 years. I had bypass in 04 and a lower body lift with Dr Fasching in Minneapolis in 2008.

I want to have another surgery to remove excess skin from my thighs now and am looking for a surgeon within driving distance from South Dakota.

I am open to going back to Dr Fasching but wanted to research to see if there is a better option now.

Any feedback you can offer is appreciated.

Thank you.

Topic: No compression garment after thigh lift - what to wear?

Hello everyone- I have a thigh lift scheduled for Oct. 1st. It'll be a doozy - from groin to ankle basically. My surgeon doesn't use compression garments and I'm wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and the best thing to wear for post-surgery recovery. A skirt/dress so there's no rubbing on the bandages? Or loose pants so my legs aren't rubbing against each other? I forgot to ask him if there'll be a drain (I didn't have one for my arm lift but did for my tummy tuck) so I'm not sure if that's a factor too

I got andominoplasty panniculectomy and muscle plication covered 100% through my insurance. I went to Dr Stefanos Boukovalas. He's a reconstructive surgeon
