Hello, Im new to realself and have been...
Hello, Im new to realself and have been researching on tummy tucks for the past month. I'm 24 yrs old and have one child who was 10lbs at birth (c-section of course). I have that "pouch" that I just cant get rid of. I changed diets and added exercise in to my routine but I have extra skin that I cant get rid of. Im ready to get my sexy back!! Im searching for a good surgeon in the GA to perform a tummy tuck. I would like a Dr. that performs a drainless TT. please feel free to leave any suggestions or tips on this process that would be helpful in choosing a surgeon. let me know if any residencies are a good idea!
Drainless TT research and concerns
Everyday Im spending hours surfing the web trying to find info on drainless tt and PS who perform them in the Atlanta area. I prefer drainless because who has time to be empty drains while in pain?lol.(ughh so extra) I found plenty PS in Dallas TX who do them, also patients with reviews. But Do I really want to travel to get my surgery done?? No.I think it would be better to find a PS in my area who I feel comfortable with and save the traveling money for a new wardrobe. So far I found two PS in my area who do drainless but I cant find many reviews on their work,(plus there a little pricey). I watched TT journeys on youtube of people filming the day they got there drains taken out BIG MISTAKE (ouch!!) There were mixed reactions, some good and some not so good. I enjoy watching and reading journeys of others, always keeping in mind that everyone's results are different. If it comes down to nothing, I may have to suck it up and just commit to getting drains bc I'd rather have the work done correctly than have regrets about it and waste hard earned money$$. Ive made a couple inquiries on consultations to get a better idea of what kind procedures would work best for me! I'm hoping to get this done before my birthday in February!!
First Consultation Tomorrow!!
So tommorrow I have my first consultation appointment and Im sooo excited.Im taking my first step in the process of getting my body back!! Ive wrote down a million and one questions to ask Dr. DiFrancesco. I cant wait to get my quote!Im hoping its nomore than 6k. Im also still searching for a Dr for my 2nd consultation. I really love Dr Cochrans work in Columbus Ga, which is four hours away for me..Really not trying to travel after surgery though. Im thinking between Dr.Nakano or Dr.Crispin. I want a PS who knows how to cater to Tummy tucks. Plastic surgery is like art, they need to have an eye for sculpturing the body and also keeping it neat at the same time!! Well I will keep yall updated on my consultation tommorrow, Ive also added a pic of me right before I had my son.Yea i thought i could eat what i wanted while pregnant and bounce right back..umm yea right..Im PAYING for it now literally..lol

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr Cochran and his staff are great!! If your looking for a Dr to hold your hand and have story time with then, Dr Cochran may not be for you!l He answered all my questions and gets straight to the point!!His staff are very skilled. I love the way he preps for surgery with twilight sedation and Demerol. It really impacted my recovery.I would definitely recommend Dr Cochran to anyone looking to get a tummy tuck.From Atlanta to Columbus I must say its well worth the travel and experience!!
