Breast Reduction & Full Tummy Tuck with 2 Areas of Lipo:consultations with Differing Opinions - Birmingham, MI

So far, I have gone to 4 different consultations for a breast reduction and full tummy tuck. I live in the metro Detroit area in Michigan. I am a size 40f/g (40" around underbust, 48" at fullest point). I am 5'7" and 185 lbs. The first consultation I went to was Star plastic surgery in Novi. They just asked me a bunch of questions and gave me prices which were very high compared to all of my other consultations. It was like a drive-thru operation. I crossed that one off my list immediately. My second consultation was with Dr. Andrew Lofman in Birmingham, MI. He had a very good bedside manner, was thorough in explaining everything. In order for my insurance to cover my breast reduction, I would need to have about 575 grams taken from each breast. He assured me that this would still leave me with womanly curves. I told him that I would prefer to be a D cup, he said that he is not able to predict size. I then told him that if I would end up smaller than a C cup, then I think I would die. He assured me that I would definitely not be smaller than a C. My third opinion was from Dr. Ellen Janetzke in Birmingham, MI. My consultation with Dr Ellen was the best out of the 4 I have gone to so far. She spent the most time with me, had the most pictures to view, and seemed concerned not only about the procedure aspect of it, but understood my fears of coming out with no breasts. Her staff was very knowledgeable about the requirements and coverage of the insurance. The staff also assured me that they would take care of any and all paperwork I would need for my employer as well. She said that removing the amount needed for insurance would probably leave me with a full C cup. My fourth consultation was with Dr. Stefani at Renaissance plastic surgery in Troy. Although the doctor had a really good bedside manner, I didn't really care for this place. He had said that removing that amount of tissue from my breast would leave me with flat shapeless breasts. The office staff was not familiar with the requirements of my insurance which is blue cross, so it is a very well known insurance. She even argued with me about it. The ladies in the office were very snooty. Neither the doctor or the consultant took enough time with me to express my questions and concerns and I didn't even get a chance to go over the other areas that I wanted liposuction on. The lady who gave me the prices and went over the insurance requirements with me made me feel like a fat cow. She also gave me the impression that insurance was a pain in the butt for them to deal with. I am just very confused now because I am scared that removing 575 grams will leave me flat chested. despite my height and weight, I only wear a size 10 in jeans. I have a more athletic build besides my giant boobs and apple shape.

I feel like Dr. Janetzke is going to be the one to do my surgery. I remember the feeling when I got done with my consult with her just knowing that she is the one. I am just waiting to pay my down payment because my work owes me over a thousand dollars. There is a $1000 deposit required to schedule surgery. I have plenty of time though, because I want my surgery at the end of November.

So, i have my surgery scheduled now for Dec 2nd. I am excited but it is still far away. I have to quit smoking a month before surgery and lose 20 lbs (not required, but want great results). Let the countdown slowly begin!
