Re: Dr.Don and tummy tucks

[Guest guest]

Carmen I had a tummy tuck by Dr.Don three weeks ago, I cant tell you the

going rate beacause it all depends on what he has to do,and how long it will

take

,let me tell you it aint cheap, but I highly recomend him, it has been three

weeks and I have talked to him or seen him everyday,great bedside manner and i

have great results for what he had to work with LOL Saia mgb 8-20-02

Dr.R 350-------160.Dr.Don did a breastlift on me in oct. all I can say is WOW.

Just this morning, I got a price for breast implant & lift and tummy tuck in one

hospital stay (2-days)package discount for $11,200. That's for a surgeon in AL.

Also, Ted Lockwood in KS that is so highly spoken of by MGBer's has prices on

his web site. I want to say his lower body lift is $17K.

Good luck,

Good luck Aimee, please let us know how it goes. I am particularly

interested in the thigh one, that is one I really need. I am interested in the

price

but more in what exactly do they do and how is the recovery. Thanks! barb

Did Dr Don tell you to wait on a tummy tuck until after having a baby???

Thanks

What is the recovery time, is there a lot of pain and what about scarring, I

am worried about all three. And how old are you?

Thanks

recovery time is around 12 weeks, feels like thousands of situps and a

c-section all together, what scars, its only been a month and it looks like a

tiny

line, that is hidden in the panty line, and since mine was so major, I lost 200

lbs, my scar also curves around my hips, but it already looks just like a

light red pencil line, But what a difference, I dopped 3 sizes. Hope I helped.

:

I am no where near the plastic surgery stage but I couldn't help but

notice you said UHC covered them all. I actually work for a segment

of United Health Group and have UHC insurance. I would love to talk

to you more about how you got them to cover your PS. If I or my PCP

need to begin documentation, I want to get started...I'm already

sagging! Would you mind if I contacted you directly at your email

address...or you can contact me at meloniereid@...

Thanks.
