Using Dr. Juan Ortiz at Cape Fear Aesthetics in Fayetteville, NC. I have been quoted for implants for 5900.00 but it will be 5723.00 if you pay cash. I have been using this office for laser hair removal and I just love the staff! Tina is my technician for that process and she is awesome and makes me feel so comfortable. My pre-op for Breast Augmentation is 29 Oct. I am considering lipo on my inner and outer thighs as well. The total for the breasts and lipo of the thighs is 10650.00 without the cash discount. I am worried about the recovery time. Just hoping I can get back to work ok without to many issues. Alot of people say using VaserLipo you only are down for 2-3 days. I am currently bringing my sister in town for 5 days and hope this is enough. If there is anyone else that has done similar procedures at the same time, I'd love to hear from you! Any advice is very much welcomed!!!

Update from my Pre-Op

Soooooo I am feeling VERY frustrated with this office!! Apparently I had a pre-op lab appt at the hospital that the office manager left me a voicemail about, that I never received. Here's the gist of it, I cancelled my pre-op appt on Tuesday because I had to work late, I called them a week prior to make this change. Then the office manager, Diane, says she left me a message saying I needed to get my pre-op labs done on this same day after I had cancelled the pre-op with Dr.Ortiz. Needless to say I showed up Thursday for my rescheduled pre-op with the Dr. and received a bit of attitude about not making my pre-op at the hospital. Im sorry I never received your message, also, is this how we do business? There's no confirmation about the appt? No asking me if that would be a good time? I thought this was my surgery? I feel like I mean nothing now that I've paid for my surgery...like they have my money and I'm stuck!
It gets better, at my consultation I asked Dr. Ortiz to make my aereola's smaller. He said sure no problem, and at my pre-op he would make measurements and we would come with a size, which we did. When I walk out of the appt, Diane, the office manager, who I have also just dealt with regarding the missed lab pre-op at the hospital, informs me that it will be 1575.00 for a breast lift! WHAT?!! I am not getting a breast lift. Plus I have already paid for my surgery, why did you not include this in the price when you emailed me the original surgery summary sheet? Then Dr. Ortiz comes out, he says I wrote it down in my notes, Im not sure why they missed it, but I will talk to Dr. Dickerson, who owns the OR to see if they can lower the fee. Am I missing something here? If you cant get the paperwork right then what makes me think your going to get my breasts right? Anyone want to give me some advice? I am really nervous here!!!!!

BTW I decided not to d the Lipo because I was afraid of the recovery time, and didn't want to take too much time for work for my elective surgery...maybe later :)

sounds like a poor experience so far… I hope your doctor and his practice will offer you more comfort and listen to your requests. After all, this is your surgery and your decision, so they should be willing to do whatever it takes for you to reach your result.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! Glad to hear your sister will be there to help you the first few days of your recovery. In fact, here is a list of items you may want to have on hand for your recovery. Have you discussed implant type and size with your doctor yet? Keep us posted!
