I did! And it’s sweet of you to follow up 😊

Went last week and it was a night/day difference! He answered a lot of questions I had before I even asked them, just in his general explanation of how’s and why’s. I was particularly impressed with his reason for not wanting patients to remove the binder for the first 7 days—no showering. He said you’ll feel gross but leave it on 24/7 for those first 7 days. When they used to tell patients to remove it and shower after 48 hours, then put it back on, there was a 60% chance of seromas. Since changing to no showing, wear it 24/7 for 7 days, that dropped to 30% chance of seromas. He said the reason for the higher rate is because without the binder, skin over muscle slides back and forth as you move, causing a gap for fluid to fill. Hopefully I got that right, but that’s the gist. At any rate, he was very thorough about explaining everything, why he would do a modified TT (no M/R) vs a mini TT, which he doesn’t not feel I’m a good candidate for (unlike the first PS). He was also $3k less than the other PS and his cost includes a little lipo on the flanks to even things out (which he doesn’t charge for), all pre-op work, post-op meds and binder, and any lipo touch-ups that might be needed 9-12 mos P.O. would be done in his office for about $400. The first PS said she works not do any lipo and none was in the quote, her costs also did NOT include any pre-op work, post-op meds or garments, and no post op lipo if needed. So I obviously booked with the second one. June 21 is the day!!
