I am scheduled to have a mommy makeover October 4, 2013 with Dr. Atagi in Lone Tree, CO. I am having a breast lift, silicone implants, tummy tuck, lipo, and tubal ligation. I have had 3 children. I have also lost 86 pounds. It is my turn now. I am 5'0 114 pounds. I am still unsure what size and profile implants I will get.

Here is what I found out at my consults.I was looking for a breast lift, silicone implants, tummy tuck, and a little lipo of the flanks (muffin top). *Remember everyone is different in what and how much they need. Your quotes might be different from what I got. You also may prefer a doctor I did not these are just my opinions*

Dr. John Millard (Lone Tree),
He does his surgeries in a surgery center not a hospital. He uses a pain pump and calf squeezers to reduce discomfort. He uses 1 drain in stomach and 1 drain in breast. No charge to do revisions on dog ears. He will not due breast and tummy at the same time. You have to schedule 6 weeks apart. He recommends no post surgery garments. I really liked his result pictures. He offers Hi-Def Lipo Vaser. He offers 3 IPL treatments to reduce scarring after surgery. You would have to have multiple surgeries for a full mommy makeover.

Dr. Slenkovich (Littleton)
He does his surgery in a surgery center. He does not use a MD anesthesia. I did not like his bed side manners or his results. He charges for consults. He offers pain pump and pain meds. He uses drains in tummy not breast. He offers revisions within 1 year. Price range 12,000-18,000 Sorry, not a lot of info on him. I just did not feel the need to get very much info from him.

Dr. Capraro (Rose Medical center)
He does his surgeries in a hospital. I felt his tummy tuck results were to harsh. His personality was very dry and book intellect not very warm toward patient. He uses drains in the tummy not breast.

All the above surgeons are American Board Plastic Surgeons. They all require labs and meds at additional cost. I have chosen Dr. Atagi. She is not the cheapest, not that you want to go cheap when choosing a surgeon. She is not the most expensive either. I really liked her staff and her. I like the fact she does her surgeries at a hospital. If I was having 1 surgery I would be ok with a surgery center. Since I am having so much done it will be around 10 hours of surgery. I feel more comfortable at a hospital. I live an hour away from her office so an over night in the hospital sounded good too. All the doctors I seen require you to come in the day after surgery any way. This will save me the uncomfortable drive.

I hope my reviews can help you. If you need more information let me know. Or if you just want to talk. My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 4.

1st installment, and set back

I sent in my first installment toward my surgery this past weekend. It felt really good to know I am one step closer to my surgery. Well the happiness was short lived. I took on a part time night job to help with the cost a little. Last night at work I fell off a ladder. I bruised my ribs, bruised my right knee and broke some blood vessels. I also severely bruised my left ankle bone, tore ligaments and muscle and sprained it. I am on crutches for two weeks. I feel like this is a set back. I have been trying to get in the best physical shape possible before surgery because I feel like it will improve the results and help with healing. I swear if one more person says, " looks like you have your hands full" as I hobble on crutches with my 3 kids following behind I might hurt them. If you think my hands are full don't make a stupid comment instead offer to help. I guess on the positive note my arms will be stronger. LOL
