I found Dr. Ary Krau while doing extensive research for Dr's that provide more affordable BA's. I live in Maine and the procedure is way more expensive here than in other parts of the Country. Also, every BA I have seen done in this State doesn't look good to me so I started doing more research.
CG Cosmetics offers very affordable procedures, almost to the point where I question if I should even consider them. But after reading what seems like hundreds of reviews for him on the CG page, the FB page AND his own personal practice page I made the decision to do it!
I contacted them for free online consult as I live out of State. I was given different answers regarding whether I will need a lift or not and still don't truly know as they're judging from pics. I am going for JUST implants but if the Dr. says I need a lift at the pre-op then I will be doing that too.
I am doing my blood work up here and flying down two days before surgery. Flying in Thurs with a friend(thank goodness!), pre-op Friday, surgery Sat. Recovering Sunday and post-op Monday. I fly home Monday evening and I'm a bit nervous about that! The surgical coordinator says it is fine and my research agrees. I will be tired and so sore but flying is OK. Rest Tuesday and back to work Wednesday as it is tax season and I work at a tax office right now. Im nervous to be going back to work so soon as I think I will be tired and not wanting to move my arms so much. I Will do my best though!
I always had small C's until I got pregnant. I breast fed and my breasts got up to D's. Nobody told me they'd be deflated and tiny after. I breast fed my second child (who is now 8) and literally am left with 32 AA's.
I am not confident topless or bending over naked, or being on top during sex. Ladies.. I know you know what I'm saying! I love myself no matter how I look but am so excited to be fully confident with every aspect of my body, Feel fuller and a little more like I used to before giving life to two amazing kids. Pics to come later!!

Please keep us posted. I'm in the process of having an email consult and curious about this process as an out of state patient.

I got as many free online consults as I could. I think that the surgical coordinators are the ones who do that though. I am not convinced that the dr ever looks at anything honestly. I wanted as many opinions as possible regarding whether I needed a lift as well. I have gotten mixed opinions. Dr Krau's private practice said he looked at my pics and said I do not need a lift. CG cosmetics said Dr Krau looked at my pics and said I need a lift. so you can imagine my confusion. I still do not know. I only paid for the implants and will pay for the lift only if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Have you sent any wish pics to them? Or did you get a suggested implant size?
February 3, 2016
I have not, I do not have wish pics as I know that I can pick out say..4 pics i like and they will all be diff specs and sizes. I need to meet with him and have my measurements taken to see what I can fit comfortably and try sizers on before I make a decision. I am going larger though to avoid a lift. I am thinking small D's (approx)

I am considering using Krau also...my other option is Ghurani at Spectrum. Who is your coordinator? I've been contacted by Johanna for my medical history and pics, but haven't been able to get my pics done yet. Looking forward to following you!
February 2, 2016
I have been working with Johanna, although she barely speaks English and doesn't actually reply to her emails. Another girl "Marta" I think her name is answers all her emails for her.

Good to know! I have the medical history complete, but haven't sent yet as I'm waiting to have pics taken. I did initially ask about a dozen questions before I received the form and pic request...none answered. I have time before I'm planning on scheduling surgery, so I'll give her some time to reply before I try switching coordinators.
February 3, 2016
I highly suggest just calling them, they will answer your questions over the hone but in email will tell you to just call. I took my pics on my webcam and they worked fine.

Just sent my pics and med history to them. I'm in California, and always forget about the time difference. I'll try calling after I drop my daughter off at school. Our stats are nearly identical...and I'd say our pics are very close to identical too.
February 3, 2016
Well that should be helpful for you then! :)
I am going for silicone under muscles, probably going to ask for duel plane procedure. Not sure if I will have a periareolar or infra-mammary incision yet tho. Def Do not want transaxillary incisions.

Although it did take Johanna a bit to reply to my emails at first, as soon as I paid my deposit and full amount a week later she and her assistant have responded in a timely manner and answered all of my questions.
Johanna sent me a Dr's note saying I can not exercise so my gym will freeze my membership.
I set my pre-op for 9am Friday so I can get in and get it done and enjoy Miami for the rest of the day as it will be my only day to enjoy myself.
I am staying at the Hyatt West-Doral. They have free airport shuttle and free breakfast that actually looked pretty decent. I got a all inclusive flight+hotel deal via Priceline. It is prob 15-20 min from Coral Gables so I will be getting a rental car for fri+sat to get to and from all the appts without having to rely on a cab or uber. Luckily my man friend is coming with me and prepared to cater to my every need! :) Im grateful beyond words!
Finding it hard to figure out what to say or tell my kiddos. I have a 8yo boy and an 11 yo girl. They know I am leaving from thurs-tues but don't know why or where. Obviously I will be coming back looking a bit different. I am not sure how to word this to my kiddos when they start asking questions. Anyone have experience sharing info with people (kids) that ask?

Thank you again for this information because I am thinking of using the same surgery center and was looking at hotels in the area. I was thinking of using uber to get around while in town.

I highly recommend having someone with you. The whole experience is very nerve racking and time consuming. It has been invaluable having my friend with me to talk to and distract me. But if that isnt an option i would go with thw option of staying at the nurses house they recommend for out of state patients. They will arrange everything i guess. Im at hyatt west doral and its inly 9 mles away but takes 30 min bc of traffic: /
