If you are willing, I would love to see pics. I understand of course if you'd rather not post them, but I am very fair too and plastics, including facial plastics, will be in my future.
I had my Freshlift w/ BuccalFat Pad Excision as scheduled Nov 5 2018. Want to tell all I am doing great,just trying to find things to do that does not raise blood pressure I suppose I am super bored which is most difficult part for me so far. I had my surgery they woke me up and out the door I went.I did have help for five days which was great. I am very light hair and skinned I have lots of swelling some bruising still. My neck oh my goodness is looking good even now. A dream come true. Feel free to ask me anything.

Now that NYMom22 has revived this post, I just wanted to update and say that I still get charlie horses in my abs sometimes and I'm now 9 months post LBL! I don't do a lot of focused ab work right now, but they will happen during yoga when going from rag doll to extended mountain too quickly or when pulling in tight during high plank. They've also happened while on the toilet which is pretty terrible!

I ended up with a refund on 2 out of 3 surgeries. One was a little more. Can't tell you exactly but I remember thinking it was reasonable.

Good luck to your surgery, I never experience such surgery yet but I'd been through anesthesia. I know it's tough but you can do it.
I had my PS almost 2 months ago and am very happy with the results! I did do everything all at once, and I am really glad I did. The worst part for me were the compression garments - I was able to tolerate them for about a week but once I started weaning off the pain meds I began to have panic attacks. I have been taping my scars instead at the instruction of my surgeon. I look so good, I am very pleased! I still haven't done after photos yet, but I will.

CarrieJane,
I ran across your post researching ways for Tricare to cover my surgery. They did do my gastric bypass in 2001, tummy tuck in 2004, and thigh lift in 2005. I was young and still under a parent, but my ID expired before I could complete my arms. Now I am married to a soldier and would like to get it done.
I hope you're still a member and following this post. I would love to speak with you more on the subject. Your post gave me so much hope!
Michelle
