Hi All; I have been reading on here for months and...

Hi All; I have been reading on here for months and months and now that I had my surgery done I would like to share with you my experience.
In 2011 I finally had my son after years of trying fertility treatments. What I found that made it happen was loosing a couple of pounds. I then started my journey to get Gastric Bypass. In May 2012 I underwent my surgery and lost about 100lbs :) Whoop Whoop. Unfortunately because I lost so much weight so fast, gravity took over. My size F breast were more like F skins. After consulting a local doctor he recommended a breast reduction. The only thing I regret was getting the breast reduction. It pushed me into a very depressing and heart breaking time. Hated looking in the mirror. Although it did help with the very low riding breast it also took away from me being well ME...
I then decided I will look into getting implants. I went to my local plastic surgeon and quickly decided to go else where since the price to have implants was $16,000... OMG... I started doing research and that's when I found Coral Gabel's Cosmetic Surgery in Miami FL. I send them pictures and spoke to Norma the consulting coordinator. She answered all my questions, took her time and made me feel like this was the right choice. On May 25th 2012 my husband and I packed a bag and headed to Miami for a Breast Augmentation and a mini vacation. Everything went well. They did a really good job. I had 430cc and 450cc of saline. My boobs where back. Whoop Whoop.
A couple of months after my BA my husband confessed that he did not like the way the implant felt. They were a bit hard and when I bent over they would tent up. So I decided to call my old friend Norma and see what I can do.
January 19th a friend and I went down to Miami, FL to get yet another procedure. This time around I had a mommy make over. Hoping to be happy. On January 21st 2014; I had a Tummy Tuck, Lipo Suction, Breast Lift and New natural feel High Profile Silicone 550cc Implants. And now here I am a day shy of two weeks telling you all about my journey... I will post before, before and after, after pictures. Hope this helps...

I thought Dr. Ortega was very knowledgeable. He listened and was very professional. I felt very comfortable telling him what I wanted.
