WORTH IT$17,500

Hi everyone! I am 40 and my little Munchkin is 19 years old. That's 19 years of trying to get my body the way it was before. It ain't happening. I have been to one PS for a consult. My final quote came down to $19k which includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and a chin implant.

While I am active, from hiking, running 15 miles/week, bootcamp/Krav Maga.. nothing is helping with my loose pouch. Gravity has taken all fullness of my breasts. And at 40 my chiseled chin/jaw line has disappeared. I am tired of doing those face exercises! LOL...

My PS came down to as low as $19k for all three surgeries. I'm going to do it! Well, I'm working on the finances and my target date for the surgery is the second week of September 2012.

Wish me luck!

(Do the face exercises work?)

Hi Angiemcc - Yes, the face exercises work. You can find a lot of gals on YouTube that show muscle tightening exercises for the neck and chin area. But it's so temporary. You have to do it often, eat right, and exercise for a more noticeable change. It may not work well for some.

Hi Blone - Not sure yet. I may schedule more consults which is highly advised. I'm hoping by 2nd or 3rd week of Sept.

I used Dr. Svehlak. Love him!!

Hi 1of5 - Dr. S was awesome. I did get a second consult from another PS just in case. He was good too, but the cost was a bit too high. While I understand these procedures are expected to be very costly, it's also about affordability. Dr. S is in the running for sure. I may schedule a third consult. Maybe :)

All I know is I'm so excited! It's time to spoil me now. I'm so grateful there's a place like RealSelf.com to review the experiences from others.

I'll be back with pics and my final PS decision.

I consulted with 5 different docs and ended up going back to him! I definitely say get more than two consults.

Hi Angiemcc. Thank you. I'm checking out the list and will definitely going shopping for all the essentials.

I keep flip-flopping the surgery date. Now I want to just get just the BA and chin augmentation (CA) because the cost for a MM is too high. I left a message with my PS to see how much it would cost just for the BA and the CA. I'll get my answer next week.

Another reason I wanted just the BA and CA is because I want to participate in a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) which is scheduled on Oct. 28.

I figured if I could schedule the BA and CA on Sept 4, I'd have 4-5 weeks to recover and at least 2 weeks to get back to running. I already run now. But then I thought I would be putting my health and recovery at an expensive risk.

But every time I look at my tummy, I want the tuck!!! So, I'm back to wanting the MM and CA. The expense will be worth it.

Now I'm thinking of pushing the date to early Nov..a week after the marathon. Ugh! I am so bummed. Then I thought the next two months will be a good time to lose at least 10-15 pounds which would put me in the weight I want to be. I now weight 130 lbs. I can also use this time to stop that disgusting habit of smoking. ( I know.. Ewwwww. I smoke.)

Since I'm pushing my surgery to Nov (if I don't change my mind again), I can use this time to obtain a few more consults. It's very important I see more PS and compare costs as well.
