Feeling great after Tummy Tuck, Lift and Implants - Columbus, OH no regrets!

I had been thinking about doing this for about 8 months. I read a lot of reviews but since I didn't know very many people in the area I decided to get 5 consultations. I'm glad I did, the first doctor I saw was Dr. Donaldson in Columbus. I felt comfortable with him but the cost was over $17000 for all three procedures which was out of my budget. Next I went to Dr, Sullivan her cost was around $14000. I liked her but she really thought I didn't need the implants just the lift. Plus she had me all worried. about the nipple sensation being gone. Next I went to Dr. McMahan, he was nice but he told me I couldn't get implants with a lift because there wasn't enough skin, it freaked me out because he said the skin might die and my breast tissue could turn black. Also he told me I had to have a catheter which I was totally against unless absolutely necessary. His cost would have been around $11000 because no implants done. At this point I was so confused I decided to try someone in Dayton Ohio to get Another opinion. I went to see Dr. Schmidt there. He told me the same thing Dr. McMahan that he would absolutely not do implants on me at the same time as the lift. Cost for him was around $12000 for lift and tummy tuck. I left very frustrated. I let it go for a few weeks then all of a sudden a lady who does my hair, my chiropractor and a lady who does my nails all came back with a name of a Dr. That they all new several people who went to him and had great experiences. I thought maybe he is the one the, his name is Dr. Robert Houser. I went to see him, since I had already seen several Dr. I could get right to the point of asking questions. First off I asked him about not doing implants with a lift for me, he said that it does get a lot more complicated when you add that level of detail on top of each other but it doesn't mean it can't be done, Dr's do thousands of them all the time. He answered all my questions and the cost was $13500. You get a little discount if you with cash also. More details to come

I nursed my children and seemed like I never got any fullness back. I would always wear a VS push up bra which helped but I just didn't like the way I looked without it on all the time. It was hard to decide what size to because I was a B cup but just had a lot of sagging. I'm not very tall so I didn't want to go very big. I decided on a D cup. I'm day 4 into post surgery. Still swelling in my breasts. Happy so far with tummy tuck except I feel very thick in the middle which I guess is normal. I had so much skin from having such big babies. The post picture is just 2 days after surgery to get an idea.

The line to the right is from t shirt under the binder, still have some swelling in tummy and breast but it is looking better each day. Go back to the dr in 2 days. Still also have a little bruising as well.
