Default 2nd Plastic Surgeon Consult

Ok - when I had the first PS consult I found out I have a hernia - 1st PS surgeon did not want to repair - he wanted the repair done, then me have ANOTHER surgery with him . . .

Well, PS Surgeon #2 . .. LOVE HIM!! He was . . . OK, I see you have a hernia (man, I didn't even know I had one and all these darn drs just feel my tummy and go . .. you have a hernia!) Then, he commented on my lack of butt . . . and said I can fix the hernia, and do you an extended abdominalplasty with an anchor scar (which I expected b/c of where my extra skin is) . .. and he said he'll extend the tummy tuck 4 inches past my hip bones so that he can get my "flank" area . .. my ONLY problem area in the back - And they will lift my butt and upper thighs ..... which he said already look amazingly good with my loss! And he said . .. don't lose anymore weight - I'm going to be taking off about 6 pounds of skin and fat.

So, NO breast lift - I doesn't want to do 3 procedures - that's just too long under anesthesia - But I'm stoked about the tummy tuck and lift!!! The cost is right at $8,100.00 - and that includes the overnight recovery facility.

I can't schedule until I get my clearance from my GBS surgeon . . . and I'm seeing him next month!!
