2nd Consult
I went to a second consult a few days ago after hearing some bad reviews on the first PS I went to. I was recommended to my second PS consult by a nurse at my gynecologists lol. I loved this place so much better. Seemed WAY more professional and the staff was amazing. They helped me so much. I decided I will go with them. They started a predetermination request with my insurance company. I REALLY REALLY hope they cover the tummy tuck. That would help so much. My husband said we will pay the deposit here at the end of the month, if we hear back from the insurance company, then we will be able to pay for it in about 3-4 months. While I was there the PS and I decided that a full TT with lipo to the flanks for shaping and a BA would be perfect. While trying on the sizes the nurse and I decided that 500cc would look great. I liked them a lot. I thought about 450cc but then tried the 500cc and liked it better. Plus I heard that if you can't decide when it's between a few cc difference then go with the bigger size. I'm REALLY hoping the insurance pills through. Trying not to get my hopes up but being optimistic. Here are some wish pics
Been awhile
So it's been awhile due to a lot of phone calls. Good news though! Or potentially good news. Due to my recent surgery for endometriosis which was $13,000, we have paid almost met our deduct able! Which is great! I talked to my insurance and they said that if anyone would be covered for a tummy it would be me so I have a good chance for that! I just have to have my doctor do a predetermination request. And if I'm approved and have met my deduct able by then, then they will pay for 100% of the tummy tuck, so I'll just have to pay for the BA with implants! And it would be done this year! That's awesome! My doctor hasn't got ton back to me yet but I'm so excited! I hope this works out!
Q and A's for your consult
These are the questions I asked and my doctors response.
Q: Are you Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
A: Yes I am.
Q: Do you have Plastic Surgey privlages at a well respected local hospital?
A: Yes I do
Q: Can I talk to previous patients of yours about their experiences with you and their results?
A: Yes I can give them your number and they call you so if they wish to be anonymous they can be.
Q: Where would my procedure be performed?
A: In the same facility I was in for the consult in their private surgery suite.
Q: Are the facilities you use Nationally Credited?
A: Yes by the AAAASF
Q: Do you use Board Certified MD Anaesthesiologists?
A: Yes I do I could always give you their names to look up.
Q: Are you easy to get ahold of after surgery for questions or concerns?
A: we have a 24 hour line so that if you do have any questions or concerns they can help you immediately. If they advise you to come in for something serious then I will be called.
Q: Will I see you every visit?
A: Yes you will see me for your pre op appointment, the day of surgery and all your post ops up till the 6 week mark.
Q: Where do you get most of your patients from?
A: I get them from in towners, out of towners, people who went to a different surgeon and weren't happy with their results, people who found me online, they come from all over.
Q:What procedures do you do often and how often do you do them?
A: I do breast augmentations very often as in quite a few a month, same goes for tummy tuck. I'm usually booked a few months out. Right now I'm booked till the end of April.
Q: What can I expect during recovery?
A: Honestly for you it will be very similar to your cesarean section. The only difference is that you will feel tighter. And for your breasts they may feel heavier, and a bit difficult to breath but not too bad along with the tightness.
Q:when will my recovery be complete?
A: Well it's different for everyone. I stop seeing you after 6 weeks unless there is something that causes me to want you to come back. After 6 weeks you can usually do your normal day to day chores but even then you should take it easy. A year is what most people say that they are completely normal but other women say that after 6 weeks they are good to go. So it all depends really.
Q: Have you ever had a malpractice judgment against you?
A: No I have not. And there is a way to find out for sure if you are looking at other surgeons as well if you look it up online.
Q: Can I get a copy of your CV?
A: You can get it online.
Q: Am I a good candidate for the "Mommy Makeover"?
A: You are a very good candidate.
Q: Will it fix my nerve damage?
A: Nerve damage is difficult to fix. But based off of where it is, I believe I can remove it. However your scar and I tiny bit above and below may be numb.
Q: What do you think would be the best implant size so as not to look fake or too big?
A: I think a 375 or a 385 would be perfect for you.
Q: If I lost some weight would my results be better?
A: With your problems with your muscles I don't think you could lose any weight on your stomach or sides. And honestly and excersizes that involve using your core is a VERY bad idea for you. They are stretched so tightly now that they could tear if you did. The only thing you could do is lose weight on your legs and arms but I really don't think you need to and it wouldn't affect the outcome of your surgery at all.
Q: How low would the scar be?
A: right above the pubic bone. Exactly were your cesarean scar is.
Q: Will my breast feel real?
A: They will feel very real and honestly you probably won't feel a difference except they are perkier and a bit bigger. No one else will be able to tell though.
Q: How often do the implants pop?
A: I have never had a patients pop in my 30 years. But the implants do have a lifetime warranty. So if one did they would replace it for free and they give you a certain amount of money to go towards the surgery cost.
Q: What kind of Breast Procedure would you do?
A: We do under the muscle Breast implants. We do not cut around the nipple. There is a chance of no feeling or intense sensitivity to that procedure so we just don't do it. We go under the breast.
Q: Would my stomach stay flat?
A: That really all depends on you. It should if you follow all the rules and don't gain an extremes amount of weight.
Q: Do you make an all new belly button?
A: we use yours but we modify it.
Q: Where do the drains go?
A: On your side
Q: Would I have drains for my tummy and my breasts?
A: Nope. Just for your tummy. But you will have a pain pump for your breasts and one for your tummy.
Q: Will I need to return to get the pain pumps removed?
A: Nope. You do that yourself at home. It's painless. Just feels a bit weird.
Q: Will I pull the drains out myself or do you do that? And does that hurt?
A: you will come to me for that. We do like a relaxing spa experience and put on soothing music and get you relaxed. All my patients love it and all have said that it is painless just a weird feeling.
Q: How long before I can travel?
A: 6 weeks. That goes for a plane as well as driving.
Q: What are some serious bad signs after surgery?
A: If you are bleeding really badly. If you are swelling about 3 times your size. Not good. And if you see any pus you need to call or come in.
Q: What is the fatality rate?
A: I have never had anyone die here for anything. It is EXTREMELY rare. You have a much higher risk of dying during a cesarean section.
Q: are there any risks of the surgeries I want?
A: the only one I can think of is that it won't be what you pictured in your mind.
Q: when I get older will I need to get my breasts removed or renewed or will they look awful?
A: no you don't need to get them removed, they will still look normal. As for renewed, some women get them renewed every 25-30 years but they have a lifetime warranty so you shouldn't have too.
Well that's that. Hope this helps someone. Have a great day :)
