FULL (CG) Breast Aug Review
WORTH IT$3,000
I’m writing for all the women who were like me and really nervous about this decision.
I got my breast augmentation about 3 weeks ago at CG Cosmetics in Miami with Dr. Freiman. So far everything is great. I feel like they drop and get softer everyday. My incisions closed just fine and I’m waiting for my stitches to dissolve before I start the scar cream.
If you plan on getting your breast aug (surgery) done at this facility, or any - make sure you do a lot of research on how to care for your breasts after surgery.
Again, I will say I’m happy with the surgery outcome but the facility could use a tune up in staff. Once they get your money ...baby, you cattle! My coordinator was more like a distant cousin - after I paid, I could never get her on the phone. I had a lot of questions and I didn’t feel the intake process was professional or “by the board”
I have gone to other places for consultations, etc and you get to meet the doctor! Hell, some of them have a computer program that will show you what your breast’s will look like.
At CG.. You only get to meet with the Dr. for a few minutes before surgery and you can feel that he’s in a rush when he enters the room. I think I expected him to “doctor” me but he kind of just marked my boobs, gave his suggestion for sizing and said he’d make them look pretty - which again, he did. But I would have really appreciated more time with the surgeon before a major surgery and when I asked how I could reach him after surgery, he gave me his email address. Also questionable.
I was told my surgery time around 5pm the day before, which was fine. I arrived early. Spoke to doc for 15 and waited for about an hour until the anesthesia lady came in. She’s African American and I believe she may have had braids, not sure but she was extremely rude. I was already nervous and she was the last person I dealt with before walking into the operating room.
I woke up and felt ... off, lol. I was crying for some reason. Still can’t figure out why. I didn’t see the doctor after surgery. The nurses wheeled me out to My awesome boyfriend, who helped me through this whole process.. We got meds and we chilled for 2 days. Laid low but surprisingly, I was able to go to dinner that same night.
The next day I had a post opp scheduled at 10am. There were 14 ladies ahead of me when I arrived. I waited as long as I could but had to leave to catch a flight back home.
Dieting... Ladies, we’ve heard blogs that talk about dieting, etc but people don’t say why! IMPORTANT:
I wasn’t Necessarily eating bad but I was eating good. More like steaks, big dinners.. desserts. I didn’t change my diet or take poop softeners. I woke up Day 5 and finally felt like I could go poop. Serious ... I was trying to go to the bathroom for 3 hours....!! It was so large and hard my boyfriend had to help me get it out. I’ve never felt that type of pain before .. it was excruciating and I’m sparing you the ACTUAL details. Please please please ... smoothies, yogurts, fruits, salads.
MOVING ON..
At almost 3 weeks I feel little to no pain outside of stretching my incision area, or laying on them. CG cosmetics sent me some mail about after care.

Thank you for the review! I also had “Dr.” Freiman at CG. I am so glad I am not the only one who felt this. A doctor should spend more than 15 minutes with you before doing any procedure and at least check on you after. This guy has no compassion and lacks everything a doctor should be. The whole place is just bad business. Blood on the walls and cranking people in and out, like you said, cattle. Just plain scary! My procedure unfortunately turned out BOTCHED and he did nothing to try to make it right. I wish I did not go there and would not recommend others do.
I’m sorry you weren’t happy w the results!!! Geez
How did you get your stitches out? I have surgery scheduled with him in two weeks. I see so many mixed reviews. I walked out on dr potparic day of my surgery last time because he made me so uncomfortable.
I cut the access stitches after 10 days. The sutures will dissolve after several months.
I’m not sure about that other doctor but don’t expect bedside manner or to establish a relationship with Dr. Frieman. He will meet with you for a few minutes before surgery and then he’ll perform.
I am happy with the job he did but only felt comfortable with that process because I did a lot of research on my own.

I was sort of leaning toward that only because I want to get it over with quickly. I got anxious so I guess it’s nice they spare the details
Also, how many days after surgery was post op scheduled?? Thank you!
Depends on it you’re traveling or what day you get your surgery. Could be next day.
Sorry I thought of another question.. lol. Which prescriptions did he prescribe and how many? And how much did it cost? I’m going to see if my insurance will maybe cover it here bc I’m out of state
I just had surgery yesterday with Dr.Freiman & was prescribed 4 different pills. I was under the impression that your insurance won't cover them so I didn't even attempt to use my insurance (but that info may b wrong). I went to Walgreens to fill my prescription because 2 other stores didn't have what I needed. My total came to $131 but I was reading reviews and a woman said she downloaded a app called GoodRx. I used the app and ended up paying $54 after the coupons. In all honesty my pain haven't been bad it's actually tolerable but everyone is different. It's a lil pain after surgery but it's more so discomfort
Thank you for paying it forward and sharing your detailed review! I'm thrilled to hear that you are currently in little to no pain 3 weeks after. Please keep us posted as you continue to recover!
