MAKE | ME | OVER - Atlanta
Hi Beauties! Like many of you, I have stalked RS...
Like many of you, I have stalked RS for some time contemplating the decision to be "made over." I scheduled three (3) consultations this week with Atlanta plastic surgeons.
-Jimerson/$100/non-refundable/applied to balance
-Celestin/$100/non-refundable/applied to balance
-Davoudi/$50 hold/released after appt
My goal is to have surgery in December...so I will make a decision this week!

All I Want for Christmas is a TT, Lipo, and a BBL!!!!
I'm a 38 year old, married mother of four children ages 16, 14, 7, and 4 (whew that was a lot to type-lol) seeking a physical transformation despite my husband insisting I don't need it (yeah right)???
Ok....so after careful prayer and considering Dr. Cochran in Columbus, Dr. Okoro, Dr. Celestin, and Dr. Jimerson, I have decided to go with Dr. Davoudi.
I paid my deposit, secured my pre-op and surgery date, got approved for the entire surgery amount, and received all pre-op, supply list, surgery requirements within an hour!!!!
His results and patent reviews are consistent, he delivers "natural looking" results, he is known as a perfectionist in his field, and he performs surgery in a hospital.
I decided not to go with the other doctors for the following reasons (no shade), just my preference:
Dr. Cochran: i like his results and his reviews were okay, but his results were inconsistent. If I only needed an average tummy tuck, I would've chosen him because he is the closest to me. But, seeing that I need a major "body over-haul" I had to go with someone with more precision!
Dr. Okoro: Again his results were okay, just not consistent. His staff was really nice and informative.
Dr. Celestin: At one point I was convinced that a woman surgeon would provide me the best results, because we're usually particular about how we like things to be done. Again her reviews were good and her results were okay, but she lacked the experience that I was looking for.
Dr. Jimerson: I was set on going to Jimerson, but his results were hit or miss. Plus being from Atlanta my husband was not feeling me have what he called "a Jimerson booty" - LOL. I was like....well I can tell him only do this only a little here....he was like that's too much explaining, and I agree. Plus he was convinced that I would be recognized sitting in Jimerson's waiting room. (as if I require a certain level of anonymity)?
I'm so excited about my decision. I have so many questions about what to expect and how to get great results with the right garments? I have had 6 abdominal surgeries so I'm sure recovery will be similar if not easier than what I've experienced in the past.
My surgery proposal includes:
full abdominoplasty, lipo of epigastric and anterior flanks, lipo of posterior flanks, and fat transfer to buttocks and hips
If any of you lovely ladies have advice, suggestions on recovery, supplies, garments, etc. please share....flat side here I come!!!!

You are doing the exact same surgery I anticipate on getting from Dr D as well. I am waiting for final clearance from my doctor before putting down deposit and taking the plunge.
My only concern was how will we rest after a TT, lipo and fat transfer to hips and butt? He mentioned something to me (which I'm sure same to you) regarding cutting a while in a lounge chair. Which sounds good but make me wonder if it will protect my hips. I have even considered sleeping in doggie stole position with lots of pillows. It doesn't sound possible but anything to protect my investment. lol
My prayers to you and your surgery and recovery.
Let's keep in touch because the support is definitely needed. :)
I feel exactly the same as you do with including the hips to my procedure. For whatever reason my hips no longer exists so a little fluff in those areas will only accentuate the hour glass figure I would like. :-) I feel if we go to these lengths than we should get exactly what we want.
Have you heard of embrace strips? If you haven't you should google them. They seem to really have a great outcome on your stitches during the healing process.
It's expected to receive negative feedback because people fear what they do not know or haven't researched. I think a lot of people would do this surgery if they had the funds and/or opportunity to do so.
I think most people are usually curious because it's something that they may have entertained but didn't think it was financially feasibly to do.
I will say that I'm not unhappy with myself and confident in how I currently look. However, I want to enjoy me naked as much as I do when clothed.
I'm so grateful for modern technology and the demand for the surgery that has driven the price down to make affordable to those of us that may not have had this opportunity.
In which case, don't teeter with your decision. Stand strong in what you have decided and unless against doctors orders. Prepare and embrace your new lease on life. I stand strong in my decision and look forward to making my first steps into the flat, curvy and sexy side as should you:-)
It's time for you to give yourself a gift and so what if others say something during holiday time. If anything they may want your doctors number once they see the transformation. :-)
Please and please, I will suggest you go to temptations in Duluth to get an abdominal board quickly.... It will help you to get on the flat side of your stomach quickly. Trust me. I wish I knew about it sooner than I did. I only got mine two months post surgery. I wear it at night now. When you go to that store also ask Teresa ( the store owner) to sell you the best waist clinchers.
You can call Dr. D's office and ask Diana or Toni for the store number and address. Get all the compressions you can get my dear. You really need it, and the sooner the better too
All the best
