Hi everyone I just couldn't help but join in the chat. I have made the decision to have tummy tuck after having my daughter 4 years ago. I had preeclampsia so I gained about sixty pounds lost most of it gained it back because of stress and bc (I'm assuming ) But that's not the problem. The problem is I have met with 2 plastic surgeons 1 I really
like feel real comfortable with he is a guy the other is a woman I don't feel as comfortable with and she has only been doing it 4 years and really young but she is cheaper. What Should I do

I wouldn't go with the one is cheaper and less experience i would go with the most experience one.

If it were me I would choose the PS I am most comfortable with, even if it means postponing the surgery until you have the funds to pay for it. This is not an area where you should sacrifice comfort. Good luck with your decision!

I think I am going to go with the more
expensive surgeon. I knew what the right
choice was but I kinda wanted someone
to say something else so I would have an
excuse to save $. Thanks for commenting

Hi Mrs D and welcome to RealSelf!!

I am glad you joined in on the chat :)  This is a good sounding board for all new tummy tuckers. 

Try to put the money out of your mind in this decision.  Go with your first gut reaction on the two.  Who did you feel most comfortable with, who has more experience, who showed you pictures of previous work they have done, who comes recommended, and who has all of the necessary credentials?

If you are still not sure then go for a consult with a third.  I met with six before finding the right one for me.  When everything checked out and my heart and gut both screamed YES,...I knew he was the one.

I look forward to reading your posts as you go through the process.
