Hello Ive been lurking on real self since 2014 and have been trying to find the right doctor to bring this body back to life, I have one child and have been left with larger breast, stretch marks and excess skin, I went to Dr. Salzhauer in March and was originally suppose to get a TT, BBL & breast reduction, Dr. Sal wanted to break the surgery up into two one in jan 2016 and the other on March 2016 which I was ok with until now. Im not sure if my job will give me time off for both procedures. So now im thinking of doing the most important to me which is the TT and BBL and giving up my date in March. Ugh I have so many mixed emotions about it and am not sure what to do. I was 186 but have now lost weight for better results and am currently at 170 with a goal of 160 before surgery. I also am 5'4. I always told myself if I did a review I would be detailed. I will be calling my coordinator monica today with my decision ugh hopefully its the right decision. Also has anyone went thru care credit????

i HEARD about them no longer accepting it! (well, I'm not sure if they accepted it before) I am not sure how I will finance surgery. I want to find out before I even get my hopes up of going to him.

I SEE!!! I'm starting to have mixed feelings, lol. I guess it's a way to filter out who is serious or not. I don't know. The prices have skyrocketed, no more care credit, I guess like you say, he's getting fame and mansions don't pay for themselves.

SMH, I don't even care about fame, I'd never walk around like "Dr Miami did my ass!", I just wanna make sure I get that best care with quality work and not some quack who's gonna let some other random surgeon finish my surgery as soon as my payment clears.... :'(

So true I was able to get a personal loan thru my creditunion to help with half while I save the other half

omg!!! i never thought about that!!! did you have to disclose what the loan was for? i love my credit union too but I never thought about that. And I trust my credit union over some of the questionable posts about rates and stuff that care credit had. 24.99% even if you have good credit???? :-|

Their website has Prosper Healthcare Lending as the financing option.

Prosper is like a google search (in a way). They submit your info to various lenders on your behalf and see if anyone will agree to loan you money. I was unable to see if they pull your credit once or if they send your info to each lender and the lender pull it, however. Sucks if they do it the second way.

Hello:)
I'm of course not an expert, but if you plan on having more children, I would say it's best to wait on the TT. Even eating healthy and doing pregnancy safe exercises your belly will still grow. Giving you the probability of having muscle separation and leaving you with a loose abdomen once again. How many times can one go through a TT? Anyway that's just my opinion. I wish you the best in you journey to finding what's right for you :)

I have the same issue.Didn't want one but doctor said i need one. I heard he doesn't lipo your stomach well when he thinks you need TT and dont get one.

Hey, I was reading on your profile and saw that you had 2 dates with Dr. Salz. Could you possibly use the later date instead of the January date?
