Dr Garcia SPIDER TECHNIQUE

[Liz210 151]

That was written by a doctor??? 0_o

 

Yes, from Dr. Garcia. I'm glad that he is honest. I am getting it done.

Ugh, more pain? Yikes. That's contrary to the all of the info that I have managed to read about the technique thus far, but I'm gonna choose to believe him, he would know. I'm on my phone now, when I make it to my computer I will post the pics of the single incision that were sent to me; really flawless-looking. Since my skin is prone to hyperpigmentation issues from scarring and because I have about 70-65 to lose (and therefore hope to escape the need for plastics)I must say I'm still sold on it.

[Afrodite82 148]

Lol, Laura-Ven, English is not his first language. We're self-paying in Mexico.

[Afrodite82 148]

He didn't mention that there was not any validity to the claim that the recovery time is shorter with this technique, but it makes sense to me that it would be; it's still one wound instead of four or five. Guess I'll know in a couple of weeks.

It wasn't really just his writing its what he said about who is primarily getting the surgery..

But you know what I respect you decision and its none of my business at the end of the day!

I wish you luck and post pictures when your done!

On a side note I don't usually keloid but I will say one of my scars did keloid..

[Afrodite82 148]

Oh gosh Laura, now you have struck the heart of my fear! Was it one of the tinier incisions (I hope)?

 

My mother gets keloids from surgical scars (I've never had any surgery, so I have to go off of hers). That, coupled with the fact that the coloring of my surface scars is always so dark is exactly what is driving me to single incision. I will be more than happy to show pics and to give my experience, either to recommend or to warn everyone else away!

 

I tried to post the pics I received, but it says "that file format is not allowed in this forum" or something like that. I see other people add pics to their forum posts, though, is there a trick?

Remember to ask that if for any reason the spider cant be performed do you get that $1000 back?

[Liz210 151]

All you can send Dr. Garcia an email through Facebook he is good at responding.

Hi, I'm on my way to a camping trip, but I wanted to answer you. The keloid is on my main scar..

But I'm ok with it. I needed this surgery I was morbidly obese, and the scar was a small price to me I'm healthy and smaller now. I feel blessed to be able to have had this, it makes me feel so bad for the ones who need it and are not able to get it (insurance,money,health).

Good luck to all!

Thank you for your response! Indeed, it seems like a miracle to be able to have a shot at regaining health and life and self-confidence. I absolutely share your sense of gratefulness. Have a great camping trip and see you around again soon.

I do understand, the aesthetic part for you girls though. I am almost 47 years old, had kids, married for life.... But if I was in my 20's single and had hope of a string bikini??? I'd be thinking about all options!

I read less pain & less healing time on a few things while researching?! As well as that clip someone kindly put up here where a lady was on national TV 2 days later made me think so too... Oh well I'm still having it.... I'm sure LOTS of questions were asked when they went from huge cut down your stomach to 4/5 little incisions and tools pushed in lol

I had the Spider surgery done by Dr. Ganta in Austin, TX. I can tell you that there was NO PAIN AT ALL! I woke up from surgery and couldn't believe that it was done! I got up and walked immediately after waking up, went home the very next day with no pain meds. I wasn't ever even sore at the VERY SMALL incision right along the inside of the top of my belly button. NO PAIN EVER! I would recommend it to everyone if it is physically possible for you to choose this surgery!

OMG THANK YOU FOR POSTING! ... You would assume that 1 cut through your skin would be less pain then 4/5?! Lol ... I'm flying back from Mexico to New Zealand so that was a big draw for me! Thanks for sharing .. Maybe dr Garcia miss typed? Lol ... Thanks again for sharing ????
