Re: rytidectomy underarm boobies!

[Guest guest]

I had that procedure done in my plastic surgeon's office. He was going to do it

when he did my tt but ended up not doing it so he gave me a great price, only

$200.00 for the office procedure. He only excised the " underarm boobies " and it

sure made a difference in how my bras fit, etc. I hated those things. They

were left over from an old breast reduction and weight loss of course. He just

did local anesthetic and but them off! Wasn't too bad.

Hope this helps,

If I may ask, are you self-pay for the " rytidectomy " or is it being covered

by your insurance? Just curious if it was deemed " medically necessary, and

if so, the criteria? The usual, i.e., rashes, etc.? I'm intrigued.

Thanks for any info. I also have large amounts of redundant skin next to the

breasts. I've never heard of this procedure.

OUCH! Mine are wayyyyy too big to get removed in the office. He will remove

enough to even pull up some of the flab from my waist, and the incision will be

all the way down my arms into my armpit and into the same incision as the

rhytidectomy, which will also go a ways around the back on each side. I don't

have any idea how I am going to lay down afterwards.
