This is a short 3 minute video that I put together about body contouring after weight loss. It is not a professional video by any means...but I think it is a nice compilation of before and after pictures. It shows all the procedures that have been discussed on this site...including the hard to find fleur-de-lis tummy tuck! Enjoy.

Nice work Dr!

I would have it ALL if I could afford it. Great work!

No kidding...I need most of it lmao!!! Someday I'll have a few of those things done!

Great video!! I wish I lived in the New York area.

For some reason I can not make the video play

If the video does not play, it may be because of a restriction on your computer (especially if you are using a work computer - not that anyone does that).

You should not have trouble viewing the video on my website - www.drschulmanafterweightloss.com

Im gonna need all of that when I lose the 260lbs i need to lose. I know how much a tummy tuck costs but Im not clear as to how much a body lift is. Im sure I will need the body lift. Also can arms be done at the same time? If so how much together. Thanks for taking the time.

a LBL usually runs about 50% more than a TT - but this can vary between surgeons. While many procedures can be combined, I would not recommend performing a LBL and a brachioplasty at the same time...it is way too much surgery. It is possible to "split" the LBL into a TT and a "back side". In this case, a brachioplasty can be combined with either the front half or back half. Most PS (myself included) do give significant discounts when procedures are combined.

Dr did insurance companies cover any thing if it medically needed. I got the lapband done 12/08 and weighed in at 462 so I have alot to loose and I know that there will be alot of skin hanging. I do work out with a trainer to help tone up some but I am thinking that there will be alot still. Might sound like a dumb question but is there payment options with ps, I live in Iowa and there is not alot of talk about ps here.

Thanks

Insurance will cover some procedures if it meets the requirements of medical necessity - check with your specific insurance carrier to see what these are because they vary. The PS themselves usually do not finance, but can help you get set up with outside finance companies that specialize in surgical procedures such as care credit, capital one, etc.
