Anyone Use an Indiana Doctor They Love?? Tell Me Your Story :) - Indianapolis, IN

UPDATED FROM hb40

Second thoughts......

$13,000
Just curious is anyone had second thoughts about spending so much money on their surgery???? I feel like it is so much money to spend on myself when honestly there are other things it could go towards. I feel selfish and a little foolish for wanting to do this. I could always wait a couple years, but I feel like I'm not getting any younger and at 40 (as silly as it may sound), I feel like my window of opportunity is closing lol. When I told my best friend she couldn't understand why I would want to do something like this at my age. Jeez , I don't really feel old. Or I didn't anyway lol. Anyway just looking for advise or thoughts from anyone who struggled with spending such a huge amount of money on something a TINY part of me thinks is frivolous.

I know your right. It's just hard. I'm seriously considering just doing the tummy tuck for now. That has been the thing I have wanted to do for ever and the boobs was kind of an after thought. I guess it's just easier to swallow spending 7-8 thousand instead of 14-15 thousand. I'm sure I will change my mind a thousand times lol

I would do it again and again. I can't believe how cute I look in my clothes now and the swelling isn't even down. Honestly I'm happy about both procedures but the breasts look fantastic. I can't imagine my old asymmetrical saggy boobs anymore. You deserve this! I took a 401k loan and every pay check I'm not going to ever regret not having that money.

I guess I need to do my consult to decide for sure. At this point I'm not even sure of the cost. I'm assuming it will be close to what you paid but I'm still undecided on the implants. I keep checking to see if you have updated pictures. Would love to see your progress when your ready. Thanks for all the support :)

In order to make myself feel better about spending so much I sacrificed a new car. I could get one but I told myself that I won't get a new car until my surgery is paid for which makes me feel a little better. Like the money is going to be gone either way and I would rather have a TT than a new car. LOL....mind tricks!

Am I crazy?

As I was searching for a Dr. In my state that I liked I kept coming across the work of a doctor in Denver. Well I am from Denver but live in Indiana now. My parents and 3 sisters live in the Denver area so I have decided to go to Denver for my mommy makeover. I feel great about the doctor but am nervous about all the drawbacks that come with using a doctor out of state. My plan is to stay in Denver for 3-4 weeks after surgery, probably more like 4 weeks. My question is for those of you who have gone through your surgery. Am I crazy to think I will be able to fly home after 4 weeks? It's about a 2.5 hr flight. Also, how many of you have felt like you needed to continue to be seen by your doctor beyond the 1 month mark. I can always fly back for like a 2 month post op appointment but what if something goes wrong?? Anyone who has done their surgery out of town....any thoughts or advise would be great. You all have been so awesome. I love this site!

I really think you'll do great in Denver! Anything you need too, you can call me! Seriously! I visited 4 surgeons and none had the pictures/results he did.

I am not going to be able to have surgery until November and maybe not until January. Is it too soon to do a consult?? Everyone has said to take a ton of pics so I have also added more before photos :)
