Dr. Nyte was 10,300$ For Lipo, TT, and boobie lift...+ a guarantee to make me happy with surgeries! + he is only two hours from my house, so if there is a problem. + peace of mind!
Mexico was between 7500-9800....BUT I didn't want to go into deep Mexico for the 7500, plus, there was airfare, hotel and food to add, plus I would of had to fly my mom in from Mississippi to stay with my son....So for me, it wa cheaper!

Hi Pammie. I just got my surgical package from Dr Nyte and he mentions in there about alot of seapage post op from the lipo and even bringing a shower curtain to sit on in the car and sleep on in bed.
How much drainage did you have? How often did you need to change the dressings?
Lisal if you are reading this I would to hear from you as well
Thanks

You will love his work, I had an extended tummy tuck, lippo on my back and sides. Breast lift, and then breast Aug with Dr. Nyte. I am so happy with what he did. I love my breasts and tummy!
Congrats, and like Pammie said, we're both close and will be happy to help you out.
Take care,
Lisa

NO, NOT REALLY BUT IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA TO BRING A TOWEL I GUESS. MY TUMMY WAS WRAPPED UP SO TIGHT, THERE WAS NOTHING COMING OUT. I DID HAVE A DRAIN IN FOR A DAY OR TWO BUT NOTHING CAME OUT OF IT.
I DID BLEED A BIT ON THE ARMS BUT I HAD A THICK KOTEX WRAPPED UNDER ACE BANDAGES SO VERY LITTLE LEAKAGE
HAVE YOU SEEN MY SURGERY PICS?
