Was that everything for 7000? That seems very reasonable. Glad it all worked out. I was surprised to find out it takes 6 months for the swelling to go down. Wow.

For me the recovery was very easy. I'm already back at work and standing up straight. I still have swelling but that is normal so I'm not worried about it. I think my recovery time was aided by the fact that I do alot of yoga so I had a pretty strong core to begin with.

The total cost was $5095, I used the $100 off coupon. I would recommend Dr. Sarosy. He and his staff are very professional and I always felt comfortable with them. I will say that the scar is nasty but I have tried on bikini bottoms and it is covered except for one little section on the side so I'm ok with it. I will probably need to get the sides touched up because I think I'm going to have those things called "dog ears"
