Botched in ohio. Columbus, OH

That's so good to hear nice to know someone has had good outcome ! I've been debating between her and going to columbia to dr.meija but very scared to travel out of states but heard great thgs n much cheaper btw do you know if she does the liposculpture etching

I'm not sure if she does that or not. My sister had a procedure done in Mexico on January and ended up getting necrosis and had to go to the ER. I understand the lure that out of the state's has but in the long run ur cab end up being more expensive. And Collette Stern really knows what she's doing. I highly recommend her. Good luck in whatever decision you make. Can't wait to see the outcome!

Thanks girl I appreciate it n I'm one to have never even had a second thought in traveling out of states but I've seen so many great reviews n also the fact that I could geteverything done for same price here n hhe's board certified ! This is a very mind exhausting journey trying to figure out the best outcome but No one knows unfortunately no matter who u go with so can be irritating if u don't mind me asking was her Dr board certified n what exactly did her problems entail

Yes he was board certified. She got an infection as well as necrosis. Which is where ur skin dies at the incision site and has to be treated by cleaning daily and packing the hole with gauze and taking the gauze in place. I know this certainly happens here in the states as well. The problem is when traveling out of the state's is there usually is no follow up care. Unless there's extra money for traveling back and forth. I don't believe it had anything to do with the doctor it's just one of many complications that can happen after surgery. I had complications as well and was hospitalized for two and a half days. Nothing to do with Collette Stern just complication that can occur with surgery.

Oh my goodness really? What happened to u if u don't mind sharing ? Its really educational because you see so many ppl say how great everything was n don't tell u about complications I'm so sorry u experienced this n ur sis I hope u both r ok

Thank you very much and she is completely healed. I'm better as well. Two days after surgery I woke up with a swollen right calf and foot. Also I had pain between my breasts and pain in my right shoulder. Luckily I was going to see Collette for my post op appointment later that day. So I told her about it. She examined me and sent me for an ultra sound and told me she thinks I have a blood clot in my calf. So I went for the ultra sound. When they were finished they sent me back to the waiting room and told me to stay there. Within minutes Collette called me and told me to go immediately to the ER as I indeed had a blood clot. When I talked to the ER doctor I told him about the pain between my breasts and in my right shoulder every time I breathed. So he sent me for a cat scan. And I had three pulmonary embolism. Two in my right lung and one in my left. In case you don't know what that is its where some of the blood clot breaks away and travels to your lungs. Which is very fatal. You can actually die instantly. So they put me on heparin through an IV continuously while in the hospital. They write me a RX for xarelto which is a blood thinner. I was supposed to stay on it for three months but last month I started coughing up blood. So I went to my doctor and they immediately took me off of it. They think that the blood thinner caused me to develop a bleed in my lungs. It had improved and it's almost completely stopped now.

Dang woman bless your heart!!! I'm so scared now! N I'm pretty sure that's a big reason I just lost my dad most devastating news ! I'm glad your doing better n pray you stay that way! So was it cause you had plastic surgery ?

Thank you. And please don't be scared. I didn't share my complications for you to be scared. And yes the complication was due to my mommy makeover. People have these surgeries all the time without complications. So please no worries. And I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my dad seven years ago. So I do know what your going through. My prayers are with you. Stay strong.

Thanks girl n i know your not trying to scare me I want u and ppl to be honest it can go both ways ! N I appreciate your sympathy it is very hard I am also sorry about your dad time dosent make a difference it always hurts thank u very much loves

Hey girl its the 30 of this month im so scared n excited! What size u looking for n do u smoke

Yes i did last friday w dr.grawe n good luck w ur sx ! I wouldve loved to of gone w him but just couldnt stay away tht long

Thanks girl ! And ive had one through email wont have one in person till day before surgery .

Awesome! Will you be traveling, right?

Yes from fletcher nc so about 8 hours im curious are you getting any and also if you are subfasia or intramuscular im back n forth ive seen more projection sub but probs of implant outline

I'm pretty sure Dr. Grawe sticks mostly to intramuscular, so that they don't shift? I hear she even stitches in ovals to minimize the risk there. Also, I'm pretty sure you only get a tiny bit more projection with sub fascia placement, definitely not enough of a visual difference to justify the risk of placing the implant over the muscle. You're better off going with a slightly larger size and keeping the placement safely tucked inside the muscle... then again, I'm no doctor so that would be something you'd need to discuss with Dr. Grawe herself ;)

Also, I'm traveling from ATL (about 12 hours?) so I'm definitely interested to see how your surgical vacation goes :) Have you decided on a size yet? Are you planning on having any other procedures like fat grafting, TT, etc?

Thank you ! Sept 30

Thanks doll its sept 30 hru feeling??

I'm feeling a lot better thank you :-) I got my drains taking out today which I was so happy about those things are so uncomfortable. I'm still swollen but it's going down day by day. I been walking around more and I walked up 2 flights of stairs today

Aw congrats i cant even imagine what its gonna feel like im so scared how do u spend most ur day on ur tummy or boppy pillow or walking ? Jus hard to imagine cuz im mostly sitting on couch w my baby n running after her crawling

Well it's definitely tuff cause I'm more of a back sleeper so sleeping on my stomach every night is difficult but I just remind myself that this surgery is something I really wanted so sleeping on my stomach it is lol. Investing in a booty pillow is the best thing I ever did :-)

Really? Where did u get ur pillow? N like im so new to this idk what garment to buy etc n im a side sleeper always . but more reviews i keep reading saying their taking them out so fake n uncomfortable ugh but seems like i read more positive than negative

Haha no girl its funny my boyfriends like butt site again ? Cause i spend more time on my phone then with him at times lol and after my wish pics and measurements my dr said 434 round when r u getting urs

I already know I want custom 800cc ovals, assuming she can fit that much (apparently having thick muscle helps her fit in more cc's, according to one of her previous patients who got 800cc ovals) so I been squatting like crazy, usually at midnight which is the only chance I got during the day (got a few kids lol). Also, I want my fat grafted to the hips for a nice heart-shaped Anastasia Kvitko booty; LOVE her shape... Who is that in your wish pic? Is that Margot Robbie??? Looks like her :D She's gorgeous!!

I only plan on staying in Ohio for as few days as possible. I'll probably be driving (well, my husband will, as I lay on my stomach in the back) because the idea of having to sit down on a flight scares me, especially since I'm going so big. As for my surgery date, not set yet. Still gotta go through a breast revision first, which I'm not nearly looking forward to that nearly as much as getting my butt done. So... we'll see :) Dr. Grawe is worth the wait as far as I'm concerned; her technique is superior and her results are the absolute BEST. You'll be in good hands; no worries :)

btw... your "before" pictures are very beautiful; Dr. Grawe have an awesome frame to work with, you already look good but she'll take you over the top!! I'm excited to see your transition to perfection :D

Thanks girl thats so sweet to say i guess were our own worst critiques ! Thats been my biggest question also i had my breast done 12 years ago at 390 cc n theyve bottomed out n not as big as i want so i knew lipo yes check n wanting to combine surgeries so i feel at least i have some boobs do butt n lipo n then br what does ur hubby think? My bf says i love u like u are yet im not dumb i see lol n idk who that is in wish pics lol just liked results n im curious why ovals n size is breast ur only plastic sx
