Consultation

$13,500
So I had a consultation with my sisters plastic surgeon-In Denver co. Her results are amazing-she had the exact same surgery and almost identical bodies and post baby saggy breasts and tummy. And I was curious to get a second opinion on my results . I have two hard lumps two inches above my incision. He thought this was just fat necrosis?? But then when he had me undress he said it wasn't and appears something weird with stitches but he can go in and fix it. Also, with my breasts he i should have had a lift. Which is frustrating bc when I asked if I needed one she said according to my measurements I didn't ????And that by even suggesting to go in to close the pocket is unnecessary bc had I done the lift to begin with my breasts would look great and that he sees too many times these surgeons don't do a lift and then keep doing these revision surgeries over and over, when in reality had they just done a lift they wouldn't need all that. He once said that he had a patient have 7 revision surgeries by the time she got to him he could barely fix them. I also still have some loose skin ???? So he can pull that down more. Just so frustrating to spend 13 grand and have such a bad outcome. I wish I had gone with my sisters surgeon in the beginning. He was surprised to hear she wanted me to pay for the implant. And that she suggested I go with the smaller implant bc less chance of problems. He said there is no reason why u can't go with the bigger breast. And that I could even go bigger with both. Also the nice thing with him is he does all the pre op and follow up over the phone ???? Also he covers revisions 100% ! He completely stands by his work and the patient counselor even said he is a perfectionist so if he even sees the results can be better he will fix it completely free. I love that he wants his patients to be extremely happy with their results. He told my sister that his patients are walking advertisement for him so of course he is going to make sure one hundred percent happy! I'm excited about having him do the revision but also upset bc more money.

I went to dr Honeycutt bc of her real self reviews. Even upon meeting her she spent quite a bit of time with me, was very thorough in discussing the pros and cons, very attentive and seemed hands on. So I decided to use her as my plastic surgeon. After the surgery and the majority of my post visits. She would maybe only spend a handful of minutes with me and I would have to talk over her to get my question in. Majority of the time I would have to follow up with a nurse about a question. I had a full girdle on after the surgery. And it was so tight it actually was leaving sores on my sides. super painful! I brought it up at my next appt and they apologized but pretty much was told that sorry but I have to wear it. Not long after the surgery it was obvious that my right breast was quite a bit smaller then my left. We waited 3 months and my dr decided it wasn't swelling and that I would need a revision. She said I would need a new implant to match and would have to go either smaller or bigger. She said that when she sat me up they looked even to them but I wasn't awake to tell her if that looked right. Which I feel wouldn't have been my job. She gave me some time to decide if I wanted bigger or smaller and gave me cons. I told her that I don't believe I would be happy if I went smaller I preferred bigger. She said no problem we will go bigger then. She said she would waive her surgeon fee and would just charge me 800. Never once saying she would charge more for me wanting to match my right breast. I recently just went to book my revision and was surprised to find that the amount had went up to 1900. I had told the scheduling coordinator I didn't understand why it went up from what I was told before. And especially bc I don't feel that my uneven breasts are my fault. They called me back the next day and said its higher bc I am going bigger in my right (never mind that I am just wanting to match my left breast implant that she already did) but if I went with the smaller it would only be 800. I have decided against having her do the revision and will be going to another surgeon to fix my breasts. The pros-her staff was always so kind and always took the time to listen, call me back and check up on me. I just wish my experience with the staff would have been equal to my experience with the surgeon. I am very happy with my tummy tuck but am not happy with how my breasts look!

Your previous body shape is similar to mine. My surgery is on Tuesday, my doctor told me he doesn't think I need a lift, but if I do he will go ahead an do it at no extra cost.
My dr told me same thing and I trusted her and now I'm disappointed! Can you do the pencil test where it stays put under your breast?
I did and I did good
Maybe u don't need it then! Before surgery I could hold penicil under breast and she still didn't do lift
I'm hoping I don't, but I did ask my doctor and he said if needed he would do it at no extra cost. Something tells me I do, only because I'm desperate for the "perfect" results. Of course it may not be perfect, but I want to at least feel good about it. Less than 24 hrs now :(
I was just curious is your sisters Doctor, Dr Vath?
Yes it is!
Sounds like him :))) I have a mommy makeover schedule with him for August, he gets rave reviews across the board!
Yah and after seeing my sisters results he really does great work!! And you can tell he knows what he is doing! Wished I had gone to him in the beginning
It's unfortunate but I guess the good thing is that you found him , there are girls on here that go back to the same Doctor that made the mistakes and have multiple revisions.
So sorry you went through that. I'm glad you found a doc for a revision and you will love him! He did my surgery and my results are amazing!!! Your doc just doesn't seem to know what she is doing! And I never swelled near that bad. Everything she did was just backwards.

33 Years Old Mom of Two Kids Mommy Makeover to Fix Tummy and Sagging Breasts

I had excessive extra skin on my stomach and deflated saggy breasts and wanted a tummy tuck and breast augmentation to help correct what mommy hood did to the body :) my surgery was a lil rough. Was extremely nauseous from the anesthesia and the binder was so tight it was super painful. It took awhile to recover but I made it :). I love my tummy but am very disappointed in my breasts and how they look. My right breast is noticeably smaller than the right. But I would have to pay almost 2k to get them to match unless I wanted to match my smaller breast. My sister just recently had her breasts done and they look amazing. We are very similar in body and even had the same amount of sagging breasts and he told her if she didn't get a lift she would be super disappointed. Which I can now see why bc mine are saggy. He told her revisions are 100% covered and that his patients are walking advertisement for him so of course he wants them happy. I will be having him do my revision!

Update on my revision

So my breasts are not even. My doctor needs to put in a bigger implant in the right so they match. She told me I just would have to pay 800 to pay for the new implant. Which whatever. I called yesterday to book it and they told me I needed to pay 1000 and I asked what did that include and she said my surgery was 1900 and I needed to pay half. I asked why it was double what she told me. She said the doctor is waiving her fee but I still had to pay operating room expenses. I said I have already paid almost 14 grand and I feel like this is her error so why would I be forced to pay another 2k. So frustrating! She said she would see if there is anything they could do but I have yet to hear anything. I won't do a revision for another 2 grand I will just live with it and down the road get it done by someone else and get the lift. I mean 16 grand seems a little ridiculous for a tummy tuck and just imp,ants with no lift. My sister got hers done for 19 k in Denver and that included a lift, tummy tuck and body lift and her boobs look amazing nothing like mine.

I
I would be so upset! It seemed like she completely mislead you and is trying to cover up her error and put it on you. If she wasn't going to pay, or make you pay more, she should have said so at the appt! To come back later and try and charge you more is disingenuous! I would NOT go to this doctor. You want to know what they do when there is a problem. Who want to go to someone who doesn't own up to their mistake? You can see you are VISIBLY uneven! She even admitted it! And then to not fix her mistake? SMH... I hope others consider what they are doing when they are going to her! I would look elsewhere! ((Hugs.)) Sorry you had such a bad experience. I definitely will tell everyone I know in ND and elsewhere not to go to her!
