Tummy Tuck Revision... - Boston, MA
UPDATED FROM MunchkinB
One of my breast looks like a prune
$11,000
Not only it has a dog ear. It is all wrinkle. My breasts definitely look worst than pre-op.
For tummy tuck, I can understand my extra large uterus, swelling, skin condition but my breast lift is pretty straight forward breast lift, no resize, no implant.
I hope it can be fixed.

Dr. William Jay Austen
Saw Dr. Austen after Dr. Cooper left Mass General Hospital. Dr. Austen is the chief of Plastic surgery and Burn unit at MGH. Busy man. A bit intimidating. I am sure he is a great surgeon.
I think my impression of him would have been better if I didn't already have a terrible experience at the practice. Nevertheless, I didn't feel comfortable. He said I don't need a revision (I look great), I need a LBL because I seem picky and wouldn't be happy with a fleur de lis TT. Just want a patient needs to hear.. I thought I was rather calm considering the situation.
I was a bit stunned so I kept sitting down, he kept asking me to stand up for a second so he could talk to his intern. LOL! Strangest thing ever.
I need a great surgeon obviously but I also need a kind surgeon who will be available after the surgery. I have decided not to be operated on by Dr. Austen because I am picky.

Wow. He doesn't sound very empathetic or like he has an even remotely good bedside manor. You should definitely keep looking till you find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Good luck!

I found a review about Dr. Austen here. He operated on a woman for tummy tuck. He did a decent job, not omg, the best tummy tuck I have ever seen in my whole life. The patient didn't get to see him for 2 months post op because he was always busy. I don't want that kind of after care. And definitely not for $11k to $15k. If that is the case, I would fly somewhere in the country for the best tummy tuck plastic surgeon. One of the reasons I am still pissed off at my surgeon for leaving shortly after my operation, if I didn't want after care, I would have had surgery out of state with someone better and cheaper.

Dr. William LoVerme
I had a consult with Dr. LoVerme at the beginning of the year. He is professional. I didn't choose Dr. LoVerme because our personality do not match. He told me plastic surgery is not weightloss surgery. So strange, because I already told him I had weightloss surgery 3 years ago and my BMI is very close 25. He also told me the picture I saw was a women in her 20s, never had kids and had LBL. I was like.. I do have a realistic expectation, can't bring back time.
