Thank you so much. I live in Texas. My Surgeon is Dr John A Standefer Jr. at Fresh Image Cosmetic Surgery Center. $10,200. He is awesome and a wonderful bedside manner. I am thrilled with my results.

Hello, I hear so much about Dr. Sauceda. His work is amazing. However, I have concerns about the fact that I am in another country and if something goes really wrong, you are sent to a Mexican hospital for care. That is frightening. Has anyone had that experience?

What plastic surgeon do you recommend highly that lives in the states?

Also, I understand that Dr. Sauceda does not want to do lipo where he will also be cutting and stitching, but, I need my pubic mons to have lipo before my lower body lift. Has anyone had that done?

And last, has anyone split their surgeries into two by staying for two weeks after surgery then going in for the other half and staying another two weeks.

Hi Norma - I had a panni while still overweight because I needed a hip replacement and the surgeon was afraid my hanging stomach would pose infection problems. Now my stomach from the waist down is totally flat BUT it looks somewhat odd because I still have skin/fat above the waist. I camouflage with clothing but I thinks it's better to do it at goal weight.

Erin's scars are pretty much impossible to detect even in her pictures where she's purposefully trying to show them off.

Congrats. I am 2-2.5 years out from surgery with Dr Michaels as I as just as happy. I had breast reconstruction then later thigh lipo with fat transfer. You were showing your scars so people could see - but its wonderful that in normal body position the scars are difficult to detect. Best wishes for continued success with all.
