[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to hear who you used op! I’m considering a TT with Austin Westin center in Reston.  I am very nervous about the anesthesia because those operations take a long time.[/quote]

I had a MMO at Austin Westin in late 2020. I think the operation took about 4 hours. Dr. Poindexter performed the surgery (tummy tuck and breast lift). It’s outpatient surgery. I took about 10 days off work. DH took care of me.

I’m just meh about my results. I’ve healed well and my scars are fading nicely. My breasts look much better than the stretched bags they were before surgery. My tummy isn’t completely flat and I have a large bump/shelf over my tummy scar. I’m mostly meh, because he didn’t seem to do much Lipo. My waist is the same size as before surgery. I still have very annoying and ugly armpit and back fat. I look the same in my clothes after surgery and you’d never know I had a $16K surgery. I don’t think they did a good job of describing all the available procedures. I would’ve been much happier with a 360 lower body lift and more back/flank/arm pit Lipo. I wish I would’ve went to Miami where they are much more aggressive in their procedures. Spending as much as I did to look the same in clothes feels like a waste of money. [/quote]

I’m sorry, that really sucks. I’ve heard both really good things about AW and not good things. I personally didn’t care for them because it felt like a factory. I don’t know if it’s surgeon specific or what. The shelf is weird. One of the main goals is to be rid of the shelf! And it really is a quality issue, not quantity. I lost barely any weight in surgery, but I look totally different because it was lost from the right places. PS is definitely both art and science, and I think some surgeons don’t have enough of the former. They treat it like a basic medical procedure when it’s far more complicated than that. If you ever get the desire to give it another go (understand if you don’t, not sure if I would) I hope you land on a surgeon who treats you like more than just another customer. Good luck! [/quote]
