Any advice on plastic surgeons to go to in mi? i will be having wls in some months and i like to be prepared ahead of time.

I'm a little over 3 weeks post LBL with auto-augmentation and BL with fat transfer. I'm so happy with my results and I've been assured I have several more weeks of fine tuning before the real result is complete. My incisions look fantastic and in the places where the glue has come off, they are pink and only slightly firm. I'm actively using Biocornium scar cream on those areas. The pain at this point is just muscle soreness. I am taking 1/2 a valium every other night before bed because normally around the 48-hour mark without it I start to have a lot of tightness in my abdominal muscles and glutes. My new butt does not love hard surfaces and I get really achy if I sit for a long time (like on the 14-hour car ride I just did this past Sunday!).

The swelling really started to abate in week 3 and everything seems to be balancing out. I still am swollen in the evenings if I am up and moving a lot during the day. I'm really looking forward to 4 weeks so I can maybe wear the compression garment fewer hours per day and 6 weeks so I can start to slowly work out again.

As far as my breasts, they also look fantastic and it's amazing that a bra is now optional! He fat transferred 30cc's into one breast and 120cc's into the other and the side that got more fat seems to be a tiny, tiny bit smaller than the other. But, I don't think anyone but me would notice that.

I uploaded photos of my tummy (you can see them on my profile if you're friends with me).

Joseph Hunstad in the Charlotte (NC) area is supposedly very well-known for that, although I don't know anyone who's gone to him. You could check reviews, though. I've considered him since my brother lives in the area.

Did you have your surgery?

I have heard of Dr Sterry, but don't know anyone who used him. It is well worth getting more than one consultation. All the Doctors were nice- they are trying to sell themselves.... but it was definitely an education and helped me make my choice.

One of the things I decided was I wanted someone who specializes in massive weight loss. The quality and quantity of our skin is different.

I did not in the end choose Dr Capella, but I know many people have been happy with him. He does do consultations in Manhattan, although he operates out of Hackensack Medical Center.

I chose Dr Michaels in DC and he was worth the trip. You can do a virtual or phone consultation with him.
