Second Consultant with a New Doctor!

[tcbgirl 0]

I just went to consult with another doctor this week. Remember the first one that refused to answer my questions and made me feel rushed. Well, this one is totally different. He took time talking to me and listened to what I need and gave his opinion. Well, the first one said I need Tummy Tuck and arm lift. This NEW doctor said tummy tuck alone with yield bad results on me because I have a lot of skins on my hips. He said I need belt tummy tuck (when they cut you all around). He also said I need a little tuck for my inner thighs and a mini arm lift (doe not cut long to elbow). He also said to do the tummy and legs first then come back in 6 months an do the arms. The price is a lot higher but it is because I have to do it in the hospital and stay overnight. He agreed that with my skin type (Asian American), I am a slow healer and tend to get keloids, so 2 weeks after surgery, he has to put silicone strips on the incision. The only thing he does not do is pain pumps.

I have another consultant next month; will see what this one said. For anyone that has belt tummy tuck, was it super painful?

Thanks,
