26 Years Old -- 120 Lb. Weight Loss (No Kids) -- Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift. Chicago, IL

After losing 120 lbs, my breasts and tummy were very saggy, uncomfortable, itchy, etc. I work out religiously every morning, but was not seeing the results I was working for because of the extra skin. Although I have not had children yet, I am not planning on doing so for at least 5 or more years, and I didn't want to spend the best years of my life uncomfortable in my own body.
I went to 4 consultations in the Chicagoland area and did a TON of research online, which led me to Dr. David Ross. His reviews were excellent and his results were outstanding, so I made an appointment to meet with him. After my consultation, I knew I was going to go with Dr. Ross. He was straightforward, honest, and is a no-[RS bleep] kind of doctor. If you want someone who will tell you whatever you want to hear, he isn't the doctor for you. If you want an honest opinion and excellent results, then you must see Dr. Ross! I originally wanted an implant with my breast lift, and he very honestly told me that even with an implant, I probably wouldn't get the result I was looking for. I went with his suggestion of a breast lift instead, and I am SO happy I did!!! The lift looks like I have implants, he did such an amazing job.
The tummy tuck is not as bad as everyone says it is. You have to spend a night in a hotel next to the surgery center, which is NOT covered by your fee. This cost an extra $220 plus $45 to park, which was kind of annoying. However, I am happy we stayed at the hotel so Dr. Ross could check everything out in the morning before I headed home. The worst part about the first night was the catheter that you have to wear until the following morning. It was very uncomfortable, especially when you already have two drains coming out of you. His nurses are very nice and even offered to meet me at a location closer to my home to get the stitches out, so I didn't have to make the long drive to Chicago again. After surgery, he gives you his work cell number to contact him directly with any problems, and to also check in with your drainage each day for the week following your surgery.
If I had one complaint about Dr. Ross, it would be the waiting time for his appointments. I have had to wait about an hour for every appointment I have had with him. My suggestion would be to make your appointments early and make sure you are the first person he meets for the day. Even when I was the second appointment of the day, I had to wait 45 minutes. However, he is worth the wait! He takes the time to speak with you and answer all of your questions honestly, even if it isn't quite the answer that you want to hear. At the end of the day, the results are all that matter, and the results I got are phenomenal!
