23 Years Young Getting Aggressive Lipo & Large Saline Implants- Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I have been researching for YEARS on different...
WORTH IT$7,500
I have been researching for YEARS on different surgeons in the Miami area. I had previously had a consultation with Dr. Nalluri who was located locally...&He really upset me he was rude and wasn't very interested in what I wanted. It was an overall horrible experience.
From that point on I really did my research and read tons and tons of reviews on several different surgeons. But all this time I kept gravitating towards one doctor, Dr. Sean Simon. My consultation is officially scheduled for AUGUST 22ND & I couldn't be any more excited! I also have two more consultations scheduled for AUGUST 25TH with Dr. Leonard Hochstein & Dr. Robert Hunsaker.
The fact that I'm finally making these consultations gets me filled with joy. I've been waiting for this for years!
The surgeries I plan on getting are:
-Saline ultra/high profile implants w/ lift
-Liposuction
-Fat grafting to my butt
I'm 23 years old if any one was wondering. Wish me luck!

Updating my Consultations...
I've decided to actually cancel my consultation with Dr. Sean Simon. I'm choosing to cut him off my list because I originally wanted him to be my plastic surgeon for the simple fact that he was 1) Young & 2) More expensive than other plastic surgeons in the area.... Through time I've done more reading on his reviews of him and looked more at his work and not that WOW-ed. I feel as though his work is meteor and just okay. His reviews were the lowest of the three doctors I've narrowed my choices down too.....&I don't really see any work where he made a HUGE DIFFERENCE. & That is what I'm wanting. I don't want a subtle change or for my body to look natural.... & He also is SO busy I feel as though I'd be rushed in and out. I feel more at ease eliminating him from my choices.
Now, it's down to Dr. Hunsaker and & Dr. Hochstein... I'm thinking about eliminating Dr. Hochstein because he's had more negative reviews rather than positive ones. He doesn't seem that caring and nurturing. I need a doctor that'll put me to ease and comfort me....Someone who will take care of me and make me feel comfortable. As I look into this more and more I find myself more comfortable with choosing Dr. Hunsaker. I'm just afraid he might not be what I expect when I meet him face-to-face. I'm so overwhelmed with the choosing I'm breaking out and a nervous wreck. I hope my mind eases out more.

Consultation Update + I'm In the Books!!!
Yesterday was such an amazing day. I feel so silly for all this built up anxiety and almost depression with feeling so overwhelmed with my two consultations I had.... Yesterday I went and saw Dr. Hunsaker first...My appointment was scheduled for 1:45PM and I got in probably around 2:30PM but that's fine because they were taking in post-op patients and if I were in their shoes I would want the same attention post op. I was greeted by Maria and as everyone has been saying she is the best! She's so amazingly kind, sweet, nurturing, and made you feel very comfortable. I was actually blessed because it was raining very hard and when I got into my consultation with Dr. Hunsaker he said he other patients won't show so he spent a good two hours with me. Talk about blessed! When I was talking to Dr. Hunsaker he didn't make me feel like any of my questions were stupid, he was very honest to me, and he actually tried helping me find what was best for my wants and what would look best on me and my specific body type. I knew a few minutes into my consultation I wanted Dr. Hunsaker to be my plastic surgeon so I never went to my second one. They even decided to give me a MD due to my past experiences with anesthesia at no additional charge. Yet another blessing! I will be getting TWO surgeries TWO weeks apart because unfortunately I will not be able to get everything done at once. I will be having XL liposuction next Thursday towards my full abdomen area and inner thighs and then two weeks following that I will be getting my breast augmentation...We decided to do smooth saline over the muscle (He said he typically will NOT allow over the muscle for patients 99.9% of the time but in my case he said surprisingly I am a great candidate and I can have over the muscle! I'm so excited and blessed! He said he couldn't remember the last time someone was a good candidate for that!) and then I will be done with my plastic surgery! ......FOR NOW! I am SO blessed because the price was unbeatable! I could NOT believe how much it was I was expecting DOUBLE! For both surgeries it's only $7,500. Such a blessing! I had to place $2,000 down because it's $1,000 per surgery which is fine I was expecting that when I heard it was two surgeries. My pre-op appointment is THIS Thursday and then next week is surgery for me! Dr. Hunsaker said it won't be more than 3-4 day recovery per surgery which is amazing! I will update again on Thursday!

See what i said about Maria and Dr. Hunsaker? Theyre amazing. im happy for you and also excited you chose my PS. Oh what is a MD by the way?
August 26, 2014
I know! Your advice was honestly a life saver! I really don't think I would've had the courage to a less known "internet famous" doctor if it weren't for you helping me with all my nerve-racking questions! Maria is such a delight and Dr. Hunsaker just makes you feel so comfortable and he's such an honest man it was everything I wanted and more!! & Instead of have a certified nurse who specializes in anesthesia they're going to give me an actual licensed anesthesiologist to put me to sleep because that was a big concern of mine if it were a nurse I wouldn't have done it but Maria said because of my past they'll make sure free of charge I'll have the MD (Doctor of Medicine). My last surgery my lungs almost collapsed because I was given too much and when I woke up the nurse took me off my oxygen too soon.
August 26, 2014
Oh woow. Yea the anesthesiologist is an olde woman i forgot her name but she is very sweet and knows what she is doing. She is licensed because i was worried about that also. Im glad i was able to help you decide on a good doctor. You know its always the hidden Gem doctors that offer excellent skills along with customer service. Maria i loved dealing with her so much and she is an RN or LPN not sure which one but thats even better. She is not with you in the operating room though. Luptia i think thats her name she is very nice as well. She speaks English ok but her accent does get in the way sometimes. Oh they also give you a quick dissolving anti nausea tablet before you have the surgery which helps with that sick feeling after. I had an issue with anesthesia also when i was 14 years old i had 3 teeth extracted and the doctor i guess used too much because immediately when i was in the recovery room i vomited black stuff for a few hours then could not eat for almost 3 days without vomiting. I explained that to maria and she reassured me about the medication the anti nausea meds they give before the procedure is started. Good thing is there is a walmart right down the road from Cosmetique. I was able to fill my prescription before i had the actual surgery and also you can get some last minute things as well. Oh he does not provide the bra though. You can buy front hook sports bras from that walmart. Oh and PLEASE PLEASE its a must, Get arnica gel and the liquid form of orajel extra strength. If you want read my blog where i first got them done. My nipples were on fire felt like someone was pinching them extremely badly when the feeling started to come back. Oh also since you want big boobs get some type of diaper rash cream. I know it sounds silly but get some because your going to have chauffeur marks on your side boobs as they drop into place and it can be a bit painful. Sorry if this is a long drawn out response. There are things i didnt know before i got my boobs done that i wish i had known and if i can pass on the helpful tips to a future Dr.Hunsaker doll then i am more than glad to.
August 26, 2014
the chauffeur marks are from when your arms rub the sides and i have tried to avoid that but its a natural thing we do and when i had small boobs i didnt have that problem. Once i got them done i kept rubbing the sides and it hurt so badly. So it is a must that you get some type of diaper rash cream or a thick lotion like curel or gold bond for extra dry skin.
August 26, 2014
Yes, that's what Maria told me but I will get the older Spanish man. So that put me at ease for sure! I felt so much more relaxed knowing the MD will be doing it. I am half Hispanic so it's easier for me, lol to just speak Spanglish with them. I've read that the language barrier is a bit confusing at times for patients. & I asked Maria about the nurses if they're caring and nurturing because of my anxiety disorder and she explained that unfortunately she can't be with me but Lucita (I think that's her name, lol) is a very caring and kind woman. Which again relieves my stress. She did tell me about those dissolving pills for the nausea, does it taste like anything? I hope not, lol. No, I thank you so much for all your advice and help it is so much easier to prepare and feel relaxed rather than tense prior surgery. Thank you again doll!
August 26, 2014
Is this something you will have to continuously use? Or will it ever get better through time? I'll be sure to buy some Curel before surgery to make sure I'm stocked up for post-op. Silly question, did they feel weird when you put clothes on for work at work? I'll be going back to work four days post-op and I'm a little nervous it'll be uncomfortable at work for eight hours. :(
August 26, 2014
The anti nausea medicine tablets taste like sugar with a hint of medicine but they're gone the minute you place it on your tongue. Your welcome. I had extreme anxiety regarding this because i live in VA and traveling to Miami for a boob job was a bit nerve wrecking and once i got there for my day of surgery i was shaking like crazy but Maria calmed me down and so did Dr. Hunsaker. Your in great hands. You will be fine. You are so welcome. I am here if you are unsure about anything like packing list, etc... Just make sure you do not wear or bring anything that will be tight over your boobs for the first few weeks. It hurts like hell.
August 26, 2014
I know the feeling i work for 12 hours. No its just until your comfortable wearing clothes against the skin of your boobs. They're not painful but its just an annoying sensitive feeling. Also stay on top of your pain medication, I learned my lesson by thinking i am invincible and didn't stay up on it. Work clothes are not bad. I would stick to button up or shorts that are easy to put on. By the 2nd week i was able to put on pull over the head shirts which was good. I took off only a few days.l By day 4 i was able to pick up my baby. The over the arm stretches were a great help. Dr. Hunsaker makes you do them every 10 minutes for the first 2 days (i think its 2) but i kept doing them. I left february 2nd my pre op was Feb 3 Ba was feb 4th and i returned back to work feb 9th. And i was able to drive myself. Those over the arm stretches really helped me be able to drive myself faster. But since your getting over the muscle your recovery may be alot faster and different than mines was. Your not getting any muscles split open or anything. I have mines under the muscle.
August 26, 2014
Okay that's great! Because I gag really quickly. My gag reflex is horrific! :( I made it VERY clear to both Maria and Dr. Hunsaker I have been diagnosed with high anxiety disorder and I most likely will be a handful pre-surgery due to nerves. But they reassured me I will be in great hands and I will have nothing to worry about. Which put me to ease. I was 100% honest with them and I felt they did the same to me. I will probably just wear baggy sweaters or really loose tank tops to work even though it's like 95-100 degrees here in Florida right now, lol.
August 26, 2014
I can only imagine the stress traveling from out of state for surgery. That has got to hit hard on your nerves. But this upcoming surgery I'm sure you'll feel more relaxed now that you know what to expect. :) I am honestly uncertain with what I should pack for my travels to Miami. I mean what are the necessities I should bring? I don't want to miss anything.
August 26, 2014
I did hear that over the muscle is a quicker recovery! Which is a huge plus for me!!! :) I am pretty sure my fiance will have to take me to work on Monday especially if I'm going to drugged up on medication. I am a lightweight when it comes to medicine if it says "May Cause Dizziness" it's almost a GUARANTEE I'll be knocked out within an hour at the most! LOL. At least I'll be able to work relaxed I suppose. I work front desk at a resort so it's pretty easy. I don't have to lift anything heavy I just have to walk around the resort at times to show guests around. I am nervous with the liposuction because I always wear mid rise jeans or high right jeggings to work. I honestly do NOT know any shorts because I am so self conscious of my legs. I'm praying it won't hurt my inner thighs. :( I didn't even think of that!! Plus my belly might hurt with rough jeans on my belly sitting down. Maybe I'll just wear some harem pants for the first week and just tell my boss I can't wear jeans, etc. I am a baby when it comes to pain so I will stay on my medicine. The only medicine Dr. Hunsaker wants me off of my propanolol medication which is a beta blocker for my sever migraines. So my headaches might be more intense prior surgery but I can get back on day of surgery when I wake up. So hopefully my headaches will decrease post-op.
August 26, 2014
It was a 15.5 hour drive from VA to Miami. But it was worth it. The only things i brought with me were a few maxi dresses, toothbrush, deoderant, brush for my hair, i didnt feel like eating and i wish i had brought these with me but get some ensures if you can and some gatorade. The arnica gel and orajel and diaper rash cream you may not need until your back home. The arnica gel i began using day 4post op. This procedure you really do not need much. Just get the size sports bra you want your implants to be. I got a size 40 and it was fine for me. you may need a size 42 or 44 if your going really big. you dont want a very tight sports bra because it hurts for fresh boobs from a BA to be compressed down. Thats about it
August 26, 2014
Oh dam well the high waisted pants should not bother your boobs at all. Who is doing your BBL?
August 26, 2014
I know how you feel about those headaches. theyre debilitating. I suffer from them whenever i am in a bright area. sensitivity to light, which sucks at times. If your getting thigh lipo done i read on here it does hurt and takes long to heal. It all depends on your pain tolerance. Im not a sucker for pain and i have 2 herniated disc with a bit of leg nerve damage so the narcotics i am no stranger to. I have taken them for 6 years so usually i have to get something stronger. My job i sit for 12 hours but can alternate between standing and i can walk around for however i need to which is a plus. Im excited for you
August 26, 2014
I too have two herniated discs ! What are the odds of that girl! I got into a car accident back in 2012 and caused a lot of damage to my body. I was at 125-130 lbs prepping to be in a bikini bodybuilding competition where I worked out twice a day and eight times a day + I carried my water jug around everywhere.....Now, I'm told to use the hot tub and use the elliptical and I'm now at 168lbs. It's so devastating all the more reason I'm excited for my liposuction. I've never asked my doctor for narcotics...They also tell me I'm too young and they don't feel the need to give me something I'll get hooked on. FRUSTRATING! Have you tried Excedrin or Claritin D for your headaches? My mom has your same issue, she flew the dashboard when she was younger and she has migraines daily now. :( I just am on a preventive which has helped but my blurred vision sticks around daily. That's awesome your job let's you get up and walk around. I'm nervous with my legs because I ALWAYS wear tight clothing. That's not going to be easy, lol. But Dr. Hunsaker said if I do my stretches and keep on my medicine I should be feeling back to normal in a week....But like I said, I AM a sucker for pain and BRUISE VERY EASILY so it may be longer. :( THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVE! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW AND IMPROVED BOO-TAY!
August 26, 2014
How do you know what number you are? I didn't find out what exact cc or numbers are my boobies for surgery. Should I call Maria and ask her today? I would like to get my bag packed and not have to worry about it the sooner the better. Did you boobies fit into your normal size maxi dress size? Thank you SO much for helping me. Puts my poor brain at ease for packing. LOL.
August 26, 2014
The high waisted pants I think may hurt for my liposuction I'm getting done next week! My boobies are September 18th! I have to get two separate surgeries and the closet the doctor approved was two weeks apart. -_________- I'm still considering a BBL. I'm indecisive at the moment, but if I do it in the future I'll have to do my research. I really like Dr. Hunsaker for that as well because we discussed it yesterday. Sounds like a painful and long recovery but amazing results!
August 26, 2014
That is a LONG drive. It felt like forever and a day for me and I'm about 4 hours away!
August 28, 2014
I told him the size boobs i wanted. And also when i was breast feeding my babygirl i loved that size i was a DD and i just used those bras. I already knew my skin was going to be able to stretch for thw implant because they did for the milk. And yes my boobs fits everything thats stretchy lol. All my maxi dresses, shirts but some of my button ups i had to get rid of. He had the CC amount for your boobs but he also is one of the few doctors that actually took the time out to study the amount of cc equals what in cup size. Lok aww i know that feeling. Im anxious to get my new booty lol. Well not so much the booty but a new tummy. My booty is fine i just want it to project out more.
August 29, 2014
I'm just hoping and praying that my boobs won't need a lift after I have my child. I'm a little nervous because Dr. Hunsaker said it's very RARE a woman will need a lift after child birth, but then you will still have some women who will need it. I just hope it's not me! LOL. I can't wait to see your final result! Your tummy will look amazing PLUS you'll have the better physique of the butt you want! You're going to look like a fabulous Barbie doll!
August 29, 2014
I agree with Arnica gel I was bruised badly with second ba but it took care of it quickly :)
And also agree Walmart has great front clasp sport's bra's I got mine in a 40D with last ba sure glad because Dr.Revis gave me A size medium surgical bra I literally couldn't get it closed one day post op so glad I had purchased something bigger I mean what was he thinking 1050 ccs in a medium Lol love him but he was wayyy off :)
August 31, 2014
HAHAHA. That sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off! I bought an XL sports bra. & Maria said it should be fine. I'm hoping it'll be fine. I wouldn't know what size to get with the waist band size because I know you have to get a way bigger band size. I'm naturally a 34...So I'm not sure what size I would get. & I can't find the Arnica gel! Where is that stuff located in the store? With like what other items?
August 31, 2014
Arnica gel I got mine at Walgreen's and Walmart carries it also any health store would. I've always worn band's on bra's too big but I have scoliosis and a protruding weird ribcage so I wore 38 band's so for my surgery with Revis I just went up to a 40 band size Lol but he was fine with it. I know I'm supposed to wear 28-30 bands because my ribcage is 27.5 but not going to happen anytime soon Lol :)
August 31, 2014
Lol haha big boob issues. Dam i know that must be painful. Im worried about the BBL because if the no sitting. I have 2 herniated bulging disk with sciatica in both legs. I think i may do what another rs member did and filed for sick leave through my job. That no sitting thing i wont be able to do. I sit at my job for 12 hours. 3 weeks off it is lol
August 31, 2014
Wow a medium bra with 1050cc implants is a disaster waiting to happen. lol Im glad you were able to get a better fitting Bra.
August 31, 2014
Yes I was sooooooo glad I had purchased a 40D front clasp from Walmart :)
Sorry about your disc and sciatica that's painful to deal with you definitely don't want to be sitting on your bum that many hours after BBL which is I know to do with butt but what exactly are you having done sorry abbreviations I don't know what they mean :)
August 26, 2014
Oh also make sure you get your implant cards before you leave Miami. I made that mistake and i keep forgetting to call them and ask for the cards but since im going to be in Miami again in a couple months i can just go there and get them.
August 26, 2014
The cards are your serial number for your implants. It tells what type of implant you have, the brand and how many cc's are in each one. It also is for if something was to happen to one of them you already have that information handy for the new doctor.
August 26, 2014
Oh okay! I didn't even know that. Good thing you told me! Is there such a thing of boobie insurance? I know it sounds silly, but I saw a YouTube review where someone said they had lifetime insurance on them? I completely forgot to ask that question!
August 26, 2014
Yes there is. once you get them done you need those cards to pay for an extended warranty. I have it on mines. Even though since saline boobs have a warranty for life, depending on the brand, you still may encounter some out of pocket costs. Thats when the extended warranty comes handy.
August 26, 2014
How much did you have to pay for the extended warranty? That's a handy thing to have God forbid anything happens to your implant! Would that also work when you need them to be redone in 10-15 years? Or is it just in case one becomes damaged?
September 1, 2014
Ask Dr. Hunsaker about it. My previous PS gave me a pamphlet depending on the brand you get. I think Dr. Hunsaker uses Mentor for Saline. Once you have your implant cards you can register on Mentor or whatever the implants website is and if they have an extended warranty you can register your boobs on there. Crazy right
September 1, 2014
That's so crazy! I'll have to do that! They didn't discuss my boobs in pre-op because it was just based off of my liposuction procedure. I'll have to ask that when I get my pre-op for my implants next Thursday! That's so insane you can register your boobies online, lol.
May 8, 2018
Awesome postop pics!! I tried looking at your posts for info but I’ll just ask if you still read here - your doc achieved those results with lipo?? No mini tum tuck?? If so, I want to be next up asap!!!
