WORTH IT$12,700
I consulted two offices for a mommy make over. The first was a free consult. The downside was that I only met the assistant and not even a nurse. I did not felt comfortable, surgery like this is life changing and i was expecting to talk to the PS to help me overcome my fears. Then i made some more research and found that the PS they assigned to me was not really a plastic surgeon! He is a doctor of medicine (dont get me wrong) but not a plastic surgeon by trade specialty. So i did more research and found Dr Salemy. There is a 100 fee but it goes to your procedure if you decide to or you can use it to their other service. I like his ways. He does not promise the sun and the moon to you. He is very realistic. I even wanted to do more procedures but he honestly told me that there is no problem doing it but it may not be worth it for me to spend the money. Other PS will just go for it but he would rather not take your money knowing it will not make much of a difference. I had my surgery pushed for a while due to my smoking! I know............ but im 6 weeks clean and ready to go this April 1 and it's not a joke!!!
I'll update my file after my surgery. I'm hoping that everything will turn out really really fine!!!

I'm in my hotel now resting with my hubby helping me out. Surgery went really. The nervousness I had prior was a thing in the past. As soon as Dr salemy step in the waiting room he immediately provided comfort that sooth my nerves. To top it all he has amazing OR staff from the anesthesiologist down to the nurses! Definitely there is a lot of pain but really tolerable. I think the most annoying is the throat. A bit painful to swallow.
I have not seen the actual stitches but they said it was all a success! Peed already too which which is a good thing.

For some reason the rest of my reply got cut off (maybe because I used an emoji?). Anyway, very happy for you. You may experience somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster in the first couple weeks. Realize that many people do, it's normal, and it will pass. Stay on top of your meds to deal with the pain, and rest, rest, rest to let your body heal. Best wishes for an easy recovery.

Im glad all went well, your throat will feel that way due to the breathing tube that was down your throat, I just
ate throat sucrets. Welcome to the flat land its worth every dime. Oh get ready for the blues that will come, my first post opt appt. I cried in the office like a baby and he said what im feeling is normal that everything will be ok and he was rite. Let your hubby and family help u as much as possible. They said I will only need help for 24hr s that was not true I needed help for the 1st wk. Well take care and eat lots of proteins.
