WORTH IT$5,600

I am a 28 year old mother of four (10, 7, 3, & 3 months) and recently decided to get a tummy tuck. All of my kids were delivered by c section so I'm not worried about the pain. I just recently became interested in having a tt after my last baby in October. I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Naman on January 24. I'm so excited and anxious for my appointment!!! I'm just curious to know if I'll be satisfied with the results!!! Update coming after my consultation.

I have my appt with Dr Cochran tomorrow.. I'm excited. 29 2 kids delivered csect, i am so ready to not have the skin hanging. He is 4900 And does lipo with the tt. Let me know what your experience is with dr naman,i also plan on consulting him

January 6, 2014

The skin hanging is a big problem! I only gained 5 lbs during da pregnancy and lost bout 20 after delivery cause I breastfed. I've been going to the gym to lose more. My friend lost 65 lbs and she looks great except for her hanging stomach! I feel even exercise won't make it go away. Dr. Naman's tt is 6000 and I'm not even sure if that's wit lipo. After seeing some of his work I've decided to consult with him so I'm calling tomorrow for an appointment. Let me know how yours went! I will be anxiously waiting!

January 6, 2014

I'm on my way to see Dr. Cochran as we speak! Hubby is driving... @Nita84... Purple Rayne... I have had 3 c-sections and no matter how many crunches and core work I put in, it won't go away! Please keep us updated on your journey! Good luck!

Have you already had your Work. Do you have before And after you don't mind sharing

January 6, 2014

Just met Dr Cochran. Great personality, answered all of my questions and ultimately i am happy!!

January 6, 2014

omg, we were there at the same time!!! I had on leopard rain boots!!! I LOVED the staff. I am about to write my review. I was only going to do a TT but the price was soooo good I am doing a TT/lipo AND a BBL! Total price, drum roll please……… $5900!

January 6, 2014

Dis u set a date Nita84?

January 7, 2014

I will be going in June.

January 9, 2014

At the consultation did you have to undress and he "drew" on ur stomach?

January 6, 2014

omg, we were there at the same time!!! I had on leopard rain boots!!! I LOVED the staff. I am about to write my review. I was only going to do a TT but the price was soooo good I am doing a TT/lipo AND a BBL! Total price, drum roll please……… $5900!

January 6, 2014

What is a BBL?

January 6, 2014

Brazillian butt lift maybe?

January 7, 2014

YUP!!

January 7, 2014

Is that the same as the fat transfer from lipo?

January 7, 2014

From what I understand, Brazilian Butt-Lift is the colloquial term for a fat transfer and fat grafting. There is really no difference, except that there are different variations of the same procedure that would give you more specific results.

January 6, 2014

I just made my appointment with Dr. Cochran for Thursday @ 2:30!!! Excited!!! Nita 84 & MX & M's Mommy please let me know how it went!!! Did yall have questions written down to ask?

January 6, 2014

I had a ton of questions! One thing about me is I am a planner, so much so that I even went ahead and purchased post op supplies like an abdominal binder, silicon sheets, gauze, Etc... But Dr. Cochrans office provides it! (One of my many questions) so now I will just have extras oh hand. I didn't feel rushed as others have said. But then again, don't BS me, get straight to the point! What I liked most... Upfront fees... Looks to be the same across the board for the most part $4900 for straight TT, $51 for lipo and TT. The whole office seemed so genuine and friendly. @Purple Rayne... I think you will like him.

January 6, 2014

*$5100

January 6, 2014

Sounds good!!! It's a good thing they add all the supplies in with the overall total. Did u set a date for ur surgery yet?

January 7, 2014

3/5 but earlier if possible!!!

January 7, 2014

I had s list of questions. I wanted to make sure i was thorough. He didn't rush me at all. He was very personable, kind, and i felt extremely comfortable. I am very excited!!!! I think those with written questions seem a bit more prepared and he is willing to answer all!!

January 7, 2014

Im gonna try to think of some to write down to ask

January 7, 2014

It took me about 2 days to come up with my questions. Lol How long have you been practicing? What type of result will i have? What type of pain management do you use? What type of incision ? Typical healing time?

January 7, 2014

My questions were very similar to Nita84... also, how many days a week do you perform surgery? When is the first post op? do you provide post op supplies? what type of anesthesia is used? how long does the surgery take? and what his thoughts were on goal weight being achieved before surgery. Trust me, when you leave you will think of 13 additional questions to ask. The staff is awesome so they will definitely answer them for you.

January 8, 2014

Purple Rayne are you excited about your consult tomorrow? did you write down your questions?

January 9, 2014

Yes I am!!!! I'm so excited and I absolutely can't wait!! When u went did u have to undress so he could "draw" on u?

January 9, 2014

I know you are super excited!! I did undress down to bra and panty. one wall of the room has a long and wide mirror, you stand on a step stool and look into the mirror (versus trying to look down at where he is showing you he will cut) I got a great view of where he would start and end and where he would lipo. he was very hands on, lifting my fat right on up, turning, tilting and squeezing me. :-) He did not draw on me, but if this is something you prefer, I don't see why he wouldn't mark you up.

January 9, 2014

Wasn't it crazy having your fat played with. .lmao. It was the first time i ever let anybody grab it willingly

January 9, 2014

Lol!!! I'm gonna trip off on that! I still can't wait tho!!!

January 9, 2014

yeah, at first I was like wow, you just gonna grab hold of it like that...? lol Even though I see myself in the mirror everyday, to stand before a surgeon and let him show you exactly what will be fixed made it real.

January 9, 2014

you are going to leave that appointment doing everything you can to make it happen! I know I did! I was S-O-L-D! I scheduled my surgery the same day of my consult. I promise you will feel so inspired... throw on some Beyonce and channel your inner diva goddess and picture the new you!!

Consultation Complete!!!

Purple RayneJanuary 10, 2014

My consultation went great!!! Dr. Cochran answered all of my questions. The staff and Dr. Cochran as well were very nice. For my TT, lipo, muscle repair, and fat transfer the price is 5600. I don't think I will get the fat transfer because I don't need my butt AND belly hurting at the same time! Plus my butt ain't that bad anyway! ;-) I asked if my cut will be the same as my c section cut, only longer, and he said no because that cut will disappear because the new cut will be lower! He also said that the TT will hurt worse than the c section as a result of the muscle repair. I plan to have the surgery in February or March

January 10, 2014

I am so glad it went well!!! do you think you will go with Dr. C? I didn't think I wanted the fat transfer until I was at the consult so I said, what the heck, round that thing out since you already going to be in there!

January 10, 2014

I'm definitely going with Dr. C!!! I tried to change my doctor on my profile but I didn't see how to!!! I feel u on the roundness! He said it will hurt to sit for a while. I wonder how the pain will feel if we got both at the same time? I'm sure u will let me know if u go before I do!

January 10, 2014

You guys are bold. No way am i going to not sleep on my back or my stomach..lol.

January 10, 2014

I know it will hurt like hell, but I don't even want to go back or think, dang, I should have gotten it done. I told my mommy (who is a devout Christian) girl, I'm about to see what strip clubs is hiring because baybaeeeee... girl she hollered!!!! I am not having any more children, I am married, and I am going to give myself the body I had 13 years ago. By the way, did y'all see the implants in the consult room? I was shamelessly palming them like a stress ball, I couldn't put them down, lol..

January 10, 2014

Lol , mommy during the week stripper on the weekends..lmao i loved the boobs.. They were awesome especially since you never have to replace them.

January 10, 2014

Lol I saw them! I didn't pick them up I just poked them all!!!

January 10, 2014

They felt so real!!! My friend asked was I gonna do anything to mine to go with my new body. I told her not right now. I don't need implants or anything cause I got enough. Her exact words were "to make them sit up like a [RS bleep] star"! Lol

January 10, 2014

Ladies we all need to get together and do lunch and talk PS...lol..I'm so excited but so jealous you girls are doing yours before me

January 10, 2014

Lunch sounds great!!! We should set the date!!! I'm excited too!!! I can't wait!!!

January 10, 2014

Absolutely! but you know Nita, we will be able to tell you all the things we forgot to think of until after the fact! like since this is suppose to hurt more than a c-section, should we get the toilet seat lifts that raise the seat so we don't have to bend that much? so random! just popped into head!

January 11, 2014

Did u see my updated post? I asked and yes the TT does hurt more than a c section

January 11, 2014

Yup! That's why I don't want to bend and I think I should get that toilet seat cushion that is elevated so I don't have to bend... I'm going to be a mess!

January 10, 2014

Are you in Columbus?

January 10, 2014

In Americus, bout 45 minutes- an hour away

January 14, 2014

Good luck!!! He did mine in Nov. he did the high tension TT on me I still have some soreness in my upper thighs. It come from the nerves being cut. Plus he only uses on drain.

January 14, 2014

Good luck to you!!! Yes, the TT hurt quite a bit (because of the muscle repair) but thank God for pain management :-)

February 1, 2014

Thanks! When I went to my consultation I asked did it hurt more than a c section (since I've had 4) and he said yes:-( I hope I can handle it though!

January 31, 2014

Oh wow I'm excited for I heard he was a great doc

February 1, 2014
