WORTH IT$7,300

Had an appt with Dr. Erik Miles, FACS he his office located inside of a hospital was very professional made me feel very comfortable ad confident that he could get the job done, he doesn't like to do lipo with tummy tuck, will do tummy tuck only due to brusing. I just would like to see if anyone else has had work done with him here on this site. If I don't have surgery in the DR with Dra Walkiris Robles , He would be my be my PS of choice here in the charlotte area.

No, but I have been seen for a tummy tuck at the Hunstad-Kortesis Center in Huntersville, and I am extremely happy with my results and their care and staff. Dr Kortesis did my tummy tuck 20 days ago, and it looks really good already! The scar is low and neat...think it will fade and heal really well.

Thank you for the information NewselfNC I have research The Hunstad Center , But I was to afraid I might not be able to afford them :(. Dr. Miles is located at the hospital He quoted me 7200.00 he price was only 4333 but then you have the hospital stay etc, I do feel confident that he can do the Job, I found one person who had a facelift by him, but no Tummy Tuck. Which did you choose at the Hunstad-Kortesis Center ? How much was it? And did they also do any Lipo or just a tummy Tuck? I truly appreciate the inforfmation Thanks and Happy Healing :))))

I chose Dr Kortesis. I was really comfortable with him and his bedside manner. He also went to my alma mater, Unc, so maybe I am biased! I paid $16 k for a full tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair. It was extra for the lipo and overnight stay which is optional.

Thanks Ms. Thangs Robles was at the top of my list but sometimes , I get scared and I think about staying close to home or get a tummy tuck here in the us and maybe fat transfer in the DR later. I have to think things through especially being a Diabetic type 2. I'll be keeping track of your progress... The good thing is that you wil be there for 3 weeks!!

Hey Joy, I am type 2 diabetic as well. I am scheduled with Robles on 1/17 for TT/Lipo/BBL. I have been on 8 consultations and they have all said surgery is ok as long as ur blood sugars are controlled. A1C must be good and your doctor has to give you medical clearance authorizing that all blood work is good and you are ok for surgery.

Girl my sister and mom too a lot of people don't know anyone that has had TT but after you see the results from someone that is close to you it makes a big difference!!!! I'm so happy for you it's still unreal to me sometimes it's only been 15 days post op for me!! My husband always watched me get dressed and I use to try to be sexy while hiding my big stomach now his stare is more intense and I don't have to hide anything these doctors know how to bring sexy back for real!!!

I'm Truly glad I choose Dr. Erik Miles for surgery he's been humble and patient through out this whole process. Staying in the hospital the first night was truly needed I was very sore and in alot pain, thank god I was given a pain pump the staff was really awesome and had a lot of good things to stay about Dr. Miles things I had already seen and felt about him. The first night was not a walk in the park, but each day gets better . Very important to stay on top of Med's. Without my husband and daughter Helping me don't know how I would have made it. I Hope to post more pictures soon!!

Things That you will truly need after surgery once your home:
Hospital Provided Spirometer - use to open up your lungs and prevent pneumonia.
Pain Meds
I purchased a leather recliner in my book a life saver or you purchase wedge pillow of some sort.
Big Girl Panty's :)

Hospital Provided Gauze
My Doctor provided me with a Binder. I'll get another one next visit.
haven't even used my wife beater tee shirts.
If you go overseas I'm quite sure will you need all these things and then some.

Life changing - I no longer feel like I have to hide my arms

I have always had huge arms, even when I was very thin. This meant I always had to be covered and uncomfortable in hot weather. It also meant that dresses, women's shirts, and women's coats often would not fit over my arms, and if they did it was really tight and uncomfortable. Dr. Miles changed my life with ...
