$7,700
After a couple decades, and several consultations I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. I'm a 36 A, & have wore padded bras for way to long. I had a second consultation with a plastic surgeon that my friend recommended on April 2. I had a hard time with the sizers choosing between the 375 & 400. Thankfully the doctors assistant helped me with making a decision to go with the Silicone Mentor Moderate Plus 400 cc's. My surgery is scheduled for August 5, 2015. I'm so thankful for this site for insight, tips, reassurance, and support. I will be posting pictures soon. I'm so excited to start this journey

Best of luck to you with your surgery.
I use to live in Anchorage, as well. What part of town are you in?

Thanks. I'm in Fairbanks, so I'll be staying in Anchorage for a bit for surgery & recovery.

I plan on Dr. Cole who is in his office, was wondering how long from consult to surgery date? I'm worried I'm going to have to wait forever for a surgery date my consult is June 3rd. I'm really wanting 500cc silicone high profile under the muscle implants with lift and tummy tuck :)
Best of luck!!

Firefighterswife, are you going to get a consult with Dr. Manual as well? He truly is amazing. I would suggest getting a consult from both. I had a mommy makeover with him in February. He has been great throughout the whole process and so far I am beyond happy with my results. I had a lift and implants and tummy tuck. When I had a consult with him in November I chose to get it done in February after the holidays but I could have done it months earlier.

Umm if I have to consult him I would but I personally very uncomfortable with male doctors so I look for female. I have heard he is the best at TT and she is best at BA/BL up here in Alaska. I worry seems every waited to get the surgery done and I'm over here like can we book it tomorrow or next week lol. If I would of known it took this long to get in I would of booked earlier before I got all the money for the surgery. Thank you :) Oh not to be noisy how much around did you have to pay for all 3 with him I wonder if it is different?

I just needed time to prepare mentally and with getting help for my kids ( I have 4). The recovery for me was a good 4-5 weeks before I started feeling normal again. Some women bounce back much quicker. My lift and BA are awesome. My scars will be very minimal. He did an incredible job. My tt is also great. I have never felt real comfortable with Male doctors either, he is my first. He always has a female nurse in the room with him at all times. I have never once felt uncomfortable with him. But I figure this is my body so I want the best person working on it. I am sure Dr Cole is great too. But from everyone I spoke with while doing my research he really is the best up here. I am so glad I chose him. I believe my final cost was $16300 give or take a few hundred. I know it was over $16,000. But I believe as of January the prices went up a little for the surgery center portion. Because my initial consult was in November and I paid my deposit the extra portion they were going to charge me they waived.

Are you getting any lipo too? I was quoted about $15500 for the lift, aug, and TT. So maybe his prices are higher? lipo was quotes $3200
Thank you :) Maybe ill think about it but ugh I would have to wait longer :(
May 16, 2015
No I didn't do any lipo and I don't plan on it. I think you are right, his prices might be more. How far out is he? Maybe they could do the consults on the same day for you.

I don't know about him I had about a months wait for Dr.Cole when I set up my first consult on June 3rd

Hopefully you were able to get your surgery date soon after your consult. I had to plan mine way out due to getting time off work. Good luck with everything, from what I've seen & heard we will be in great hands. :)

Is this really happening?!
The doctors office called today & I paid for my procedure. I got butterflies in my stomach thinking about how it's 2 weeks away! I made a list of things to gather to take with me on my trip for recovery. This site & the ladies have been so helpful. :)
So glad you started a review! It sounds like you've been doing some great research. Looking forward to your pictures. Feel free to include some wish boob pictures too. Keep us posted along the way!
