TT for 40 Year Old, 50 Lb Weight Loss, 2 Pregnancies - Cary, NC
ORIGINAL POST
I had a breast lift in Feb. 2015 by Dr. Stoeckel...
WORTH IT$8,000
I had a breast lift in Feb. 2015 by Dr. Stoeckel in Cary, nc. (Wake plastic surgery) It was the best decision ever. Now I am going to go to him for a tummy tuck. I wanted to see how I did with the breast lift surgery first, and since I feel like I did well, healed well, ect., l am ready to take this next step in getting rid of my belly. I work out every day, yet realize the belly isn't going anywhere. I am 157lbs and 5'5".5 (yes, that 1/2 inch counts! Lol) My consultation is next week....as well as my final follow up to my breast surgery.
I am excited and thankful to have a wonderful husband that is making this all possible and understands how much it means after working for years to get at a healthy weight and maintain it. I have maintained around this weight for about 3 years....losing about 2-3 lbs a year....very slow and steady!
The cost above is what the tt are at his office. They give a 500 discount for being a return patient, so mine will be 7,500.00

Surgery is set for Jan.7, 2016
I had my consult today...and am very excited to get through the next couple months! I am in disbelief that this is actually going to happen to me! I never in a million years thought I'd be able to do this. I appreciate my husband so much for supporting me...and I am thankful that I found Dr. Stoeckel. It is good to know you're in good hands with such a big surgery. I have pictures from before and after my breast lift that I got from the office. I can't wait to complete my healthy body look! I've lost about 4-5 lbs since my first "photo shoot".

Wondering if I should do lipo on back while doing tt
I want your opinions ladies...I am worried I still won't be happy or feel good about my shape if I skip the lipo on my back. I don't know if the tt will help me waist from behind? Does anyone have advice?

Hi Hun,
I think you should do whatever you feel you can handle. I have an upcoming consult with the same PS. Did he include lipo of the flanks?

No, he mentioned that he didn't think I needed that, and I don't really want it there either, but it's the mid back rolls that bug me. I do not think the price I was given includes any lipo. You're going to love him, by the way. I really feel so lucky to have found him. He is so easy going and good at what he does. Thanks for your input :) I know I am going to be so happy with the tummy tuck, I just don't want my back to look out of place after that's done.

If you can handle it I would Lipo the back since you've come this far might as well to ensure you get the shape you're hoping for. I've considered using Stoeckel for a TT and possible BA Revision. Still researching surgeons in the area. Did Stoeckel say the TT will give an hour glass shape? Does he include the lipo in the stomach area? Thanks for sharing your experience!

How much did he charge for the breast lift and did you get implants if so what size.
December 17, 2015
He is a great doctor, I went to another consult in the area, and then to him, and it felt very different with him. He is very easy to talk to....doesn't come of as condescending in any way....and he knows his stuff. So, he said pulling the muscles in will give me more of a waist, but I didn't ask about the back view. Lipo isn't included in the price I was quoted. The breast lift I had this past February was 6,500 and I did not get implants. I feel like if you look at pictures of his work, you get a pretty good idea of what to expect. He seems very consistent in results from what I see.

I had lipo on my back and flanks and it changed my whole shape. I would definitely do the back! I'm in NY and used Dr. Tom Sterry. He's on Park Av. Another great PS with great bedside manner....

Thanks for your input! I talked to my doc and I am going to skip it for now and hope it comes off in the next year if I lose a few more pounds...but if not, I will definitely keep it as an option :)

I just did a Mommy makeover with Dr. Kreymerman, I wish I had my love handles lipo'ed as well...I only did the flanks so the front of me looks awesome but my undies are cutting into my fluffy love handles....Im going to try and workout before deciding on more surgery...not working out for 6 weeks and holiday food are contributors to me noticing love handle fluff at this time :)
Very exciting, please let me know how everything goes. Â I also had a reduction and lift and love it! Â The tummy tuck is icing on the cake. Â
Thank you, yes you will love the results. Â It does take work and constant effort, but well worth it.
