Dr. Prada Filled Me with Confidence

WORTH IT$4,130
So far I have only been in to see him for the consultation, but that time alone was enough for me to be impressed. I have scheduled and am looking at a date of July 15, 2020.
I have breast implants from another surgeon. There is nothing wrong with them. The original surgeon did a spectacular job, but they just aren’t who I am anymore. I want them out of my body ASAP!
Dr. Prada spent a lot of face to face time with me answering all of my questions and laying out the options for having them removed. We talked local versus twilight anesthesia, realistic expectations for how they will look afterwards, and the potential of having one nipples raise to match the other (although I am not sure on doing this, I like my nipples scar-free).
I felt safe and confident in meeting him and am really looking forward to my procedure.

Pre-Op Completed
NewToTheLouJuly 10, 2020
I had my pre-operative appointment with Carol at Dr. Prada’s office on Tuesday. We discussed post-operative appointments and post-operative care, as well as what to expect day of surgery and afterwards. She also gave me my prescriptions and both pre- and post-operative instructions. I have a lot of allergies that she reviewed with me in order to verify that the medications they had prescribed would be okay for me. I felt confident talking with her. The day before my appointment (Monday) they called and asked for the remainder of the surgeon’s fee to be paid. I opted to get cashier’s checks for the fees related to anesthesia and the surgical center, as they’re just easier. Surgery is still a go for July 15 (next Wednesday) at the butt crack of dawn. Tomorrow at 1pm I have a drive through Covid test at the surgical center where they are performing my procedure, so that is interesting and certainly something new for surgeries for me (and everyone)!

Drive-Thru Covid Testing Complete
NewToTheLouJuly 13, 2020
On Friday I drove thru the South County Surgical Center Covid testing area and got the nasal swab for my pre-operative test. Afterwards, they recommend that you maintain 6 feet social distancing and limit all contact with other people not directly within your household (obviously!). I got the negative test results back yesterday, so all good to go! I did feel comfortable with their process and I felt like I had minimal exposure during the test itself. I stayed in my vehicle and their staff were wearing masks and gloves.
