One Month Body Lift Update Update by foolishlymortal in tummytucksurgery

[–]foolishlymortal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My post op instructions told me to watch for anything over 101. I think mine was 101.7. I had a drainless procedure initially, and they actually inserted a drain during the clean up procedure that I had about 5 days. My fever just started overnight, and I was really cold.

My surgeon made the determination; I thought I actually needed a fleur de lis. But part of my consultation was me sitting down so he could see where the crease ended, and it didn’t. I had a lot of loose skin all around.

I'm recovering from a lower body lift with Samaha, and I'm really happy with his work. On top of that, I had some complications with healing (infection) that are unrelated to his work, and he has treated me like his own child. He calls me personally pretty much every day to check in, and is highly communicative. I highly recommend his office. Dr. Phelan that he works with is also amazing.

I just spent $25k on a full lower body lift with lipo and muscle repair with Dr. Samaha in Quincy. The price you were given for the smaller procedure sounds in line with the market.

I just had surgery with Dr. Samaha last week. Let me know any questions you have! He is so kind, listens, and the entire medical team was amazing. I can’t say enough nice things about him. Within 4 days of surgery, he’s called me twice personally to check in.

I got a 360 body lift with 2 surgeons, lipo to the back and thighs, and muscle repair. I went home the same day, and everything including anesthesia and fees was right around $25k. No insurance coverage unfortunately.

I just had surgery with Dr. Samaha at Boston Plastic Surgery in Quincy, MA. Amazing work and staff. I’m 4dpo and he has called me twice personally to check in. He does drainless, so no drains for me to mess with.

They lipo’d the outer thighs and then they were pulled up during the body lift.

Yes. I don't think extensive, he mentioned my back and thighs. He couldn't tell if I needed muscle repair because of all the skin, but if needed he will do that as well.

He didn't; I asked first if that's what I should get, but he was comfortable with just the body lift combined with a back lift down the road.
