I have been unhappy with my tummy area for a long...

WORTH IT$8,300

I have been unhappy with my tummy area for a long time, no matter how much I have weighed. I have been 150 - 210.currently at 200 and am trying to get back into a healthy weight and lifestyle. Which for me being 35yrs old and 5'7 I am comfortable at 170..Today I went for my mommy makeover consult. I feel like I could use a breast lift as well as tt but with my clotting disorder the Dr feels it's safer for me to do one procedure at a time.

I am glad your doctor wants to do your procedures separately if you have a clotting problem! I have to ask...were you quoted $83K for a mommy makeover?? I had a TT in December (Dr. Basu, Houston), and I love my results. I had a BA years ago with another surgeon (my bad), but my tummy is definitely my favorite. :) It is so nice to feel good about myself in a swim suit again. I can't think how long that's been! I am excited for you! It's also admirable that you are trying to lose weight first (I wish I had done that). Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Btw I appreciate the feedback and this site. I am realizing how important it is to connect with other women going through this. I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone else about these thoughts and feelings concerning a surgery like this.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Definitely better to be safe. Will you be consulting with other doctors or do you feel you've found the right one?

I thought he was a lil arrogant but I assume all ps are. More importantly he was firm about my safety and cautious. Plus like I posted earlier, I am confused as to when or how I would really know who's best.

Anxious .. Confused..

HappyMamax2April 25, 2014

So my immediate reaction when I went for my first consult was excited and I wanted it ASAP as well as the fillers and obagi skincare etc. I put $3000 on my credit that day for all that.. Now.. I love the results I got from the bolatera around my under eye bags ,volumax in cheeks and juvaderm in smile lines..it's still bruised but I can tell that it going to have taken 10 years of my face...however I'm having second thoughts about booking my tt with him until I meet at least one more Dr. I have hears so many bad experiences that make me think..how will I KNOW I have the right Dr. The one I met this week (Dr. Farber) seems safe and knowledgeable, and he says he thinks I'm going to get great results. But I'm nervous to book the first one I meet.
Btw I will add pics soon.

Don't believe everything you see

HappyMamax2April 25, 2014

I wanted to add one of my "wish pics" that I showed the Dr.. He immediately said "no , that is not real".. With all the photo shop and editing pics online and in magazines , I have to be careful about my ideas of perfection.
