I am so excited to finally say my surgery is NEXT...

WORTH IT$3,800
I am so excited to finally say my surgery is NEXT MONTH! I did start a review already on Dr. Freiman but since I couldn't figure out how to change the doctor I decided to start a new review! If you'd like to see my journey thus far my old account was Deezdd's.

So I have always wanted to have bigger boobies. I am married and have been with my husband for over 8+ years & we have 2 children. I have always known I was going to get a BA but just waiting for the right time financially! I am getting this procedure for my own happiness however, my husband is supportive :). I originally was scheduled w/ Dr Freiman but due to scheduling (on my part) & the fact that my coordinator Karla had a recent BA with Dr. Krau I decided to switch to him. My BA is scheduled for Feb 27, 2016 which freaks me out because its a Saturday and I am scared it will be rescheduled or something?? I haven't really seen BA's with him on Saturdays. Oh & I am FORCED to go with silicone. -____-

Let me explain, first and foremost I love my coordinator I would choose her again & again. However, she told me I would only be able to get silicone if I decide to select Dr. Krau. I was leaning towards saline not because of the price.... It was just my preference. I see adds all over that say $2500 for Dr Krau w/ saline implants.... I'm okay with silicone implants but, just the feeling that I have no choose either way kind of sucks.

I am from California so I will be traveling and staying about 3-4 days post op. Luckily my hubby will be tagging along so we are staying in a near by hotel. I am so excited & just pray this all goes by flawlessly. Please let me know on your experience w/ Dr Krau!! I would love to hear & follow!! :)

hey, wish you the best of luck !! I really want to go with Dr.Krau, I also perfer Saline then Silicone , was there a reason why you were not able to do Saline implants with him ?
January 5, 2016
Yeah he seems like an awesome Doctor so I am exited. But no when I originally chose Dr Freiman she said "okay if you decide to switch you would only have one other option since you're going with saline" and that option was not dr Krau. When I decided to switch with him she said I had to get silicone. But I see others getting saline that go to CG as well as. To be honest I think it's about commission which is sad because I really like my coordinator. I'm sure if I push the issue I would be able to get saline. :)

Hi Deez! I'm flying out in a few hours the see Dr Krau! I have pre-op tomorrow and my BA is on Thursday. I'm going to his private practice, not CG , so my experience will be a little bit different but feel free to follow my story! Im 95% sure I'm doing silicone (that's what I paid for) but I'm nervous it won't give me the overfilled look I want. So tomorrow the final decision will be made! From everything I've read, and the other girls results I've seen, he does amazing work!
January 5, 2016
I've def followed your journey! I am excited to see your transformation. I am planning on going "big". Not as big as you but more in the 600 range hopefully so I am excited to see your results! Good luck!!
January 6, 2016
I had mine done by him. Silicone and they are amazing
January 6, 2016
That's great! Makes me excited. :)

What did you get?
January 6, 2016
When you talk to Dr Krau tell him what you want and see what he says. I have had to change my coordinator because they didn't want me to have my mommy makeover with Dr Krau stating that Dr Freiman is better. I told them from the reviews here it seems people have issues with that PS that I cannot afford to have. So I switched coordinators after getting some resistance and then when I met Dr Krau in person I knew I was in the right hands. He asked me what I want and he agreed. He also gave me guidelines to follow for optimum results etc. I am thrilled; July will be here before I know it. So my advice is to tell Dr Krau because it looks like the girls respect him and will listen to what he wants over what their pocket is telling them. I would also research to see if he does saline at all. Remember he is on various prestigious boards for implants so he would be better informed too as to what is best health-wise and aesthetically.
January 6, 2016
Wow, thank you! :) right when I switche I for some reason started to see a few negatives on Dr Freiman so I def feel like I mad a good decision! I can't wait. Im excited to see & follow your journey! Good luck!!

January 9, 2016

At 1st they will be a little hard but within 4-6 months they soften and fluff out

Yes i agree! I love how natural they look! Also nice to fill out unlined bra thats 38ddd in vs!! Lol u wont regret it!!

February 19, 2016
Yes it's so funny people that don't know I've had them done think that they are real. They are super soft and jiggly
User Avatar
February 19, 2016
Yeah i know. They look so natural! I havent had any problems at all? Wat size did you go with?
User Avatar
February 19, 2016
I got 600ccs went from a non existent A cup to a DD=] so happy best thing I've every done for me
February 19, 2016
Were you ever nervous to go that big? I am for sure about 550 but really I feel like 600 is what I really want but I am afraid of being over DDD just because I want to be able to still get bras from Victoria secrets and places like that. I think 550 may be my best bet because currently I am a full B but I wear a 34C and fill the cups pretty well. I think I just love your results but in that case since you were an A before maybe mine will look like yours still because Im starting off at a B/C... UGH such a hard decision.

I wasn't scared the doctor I went to is a part time magician lol I've seen women he has done before miracles!!! I told him I wanted to be a D cup and he made me a DD I love it I just trusted him and I honestly felt like he knew what he was doing so I was ok.
UPDATED FROM DeezD'ss
1 month pre

Ugh I sort of want a BBL also!?

DeezD'ss
UGH I hate that when you start to look into plastic surgery it really gets you thinking of other things that would just perfect your look lol. I have a pretty nice size bottom but I would just love a nice fat one :). My husband gave me the "be happy with what God gave you" speech. I guess we will see how I feel after the BA.

Any ways I am in preparation for my trip and getting super excited.

* Travel prices *
- Hotels booked $450 for 4 nights 5 days.
- Flights booked $271 round trip from Cali :)
- Rental car booked $150 for 6 days ( family discount)

The BA with Dr. Krau is costing me $3500 Silicone + 300 for using my alpheon credit card. So $3800 total.

Still need to get my surgical bra & some supplies.
Going to try to get my blood work done through my insurance which is Kaiser Permanente. If not its going to cost me $126.00 w/ lab corps.

I cant believe its all coming together!!! :)

I just gave my primary care doctor the lab slip from Dr Krau and he ordered it for me so my insurance would cover it. Try doing that. My primary's office didn't bat an eye over it!

You know I wanted a bbl as well but after thinking about it I don't want all that extra attention. My cousin got hers done and she gets stopped everywhere ppl always want to touch her butt it's crazy:(
January 9, 2016
Yeah my butt is not flat so I think I should just be grateful lol. I'm not I to unwanted attention & I'm sure I will get it after a BBL!!

That's where I'm at too my butt isn't flat but I think honestly I just wanted a smaller waist the illusion of a bigger butt. I don't want it no bigger I had to think long and hard.

Hey how did you surgery go????
UPDATED FROM DeezD'ss
26 days pre

Geting close!! Almost time for labs.

DeezD'ss
Havent updated in a while, I am currently just in the waiting stages.
I have everything booked and ready to go. :)

Kind of nervous about the blood work...I hate needles & just hoping everything will pass just fine! I have been having a little anxiety on the size that I want to go but I emailed my coordinator and she said I can try on sizers. I know for sure I want nothing under 550 & nothing over 600. I really wanna be a full DD so we will see. I hope Dr. Krau gives me some input on how many CC I would need to achieve the size and look. I'm pretty sure HP is what Ill be getting but again we will see! Super excited but really just so anxious to start the process healing process already!!

28 more days!!!! :)

How exciting! Your surgery day is around the corner, I'm scheduled for a tt, ba/bl and lipo of flanks with him March 4 and I'm excited and nervous all at the same time! I'm going for 350cc and I'm scared i won't get the results I want but Krau said I'll be a full D so I trust him as I'm already a saggy C and he knows his work.
February 1, 2016
Thats good to know! In the end im going to go with what he believes will give me a full DD so I am excited!!! Good luck I will follow your journey! Are you going to his office or CG?

With Krau? They told me first 8500 but then got a call back saying he wasn't accepting it so 10,000 is my new price but still better then 20,000

What hotel did you book with? Was it a package deal with flight? I'm up the hill from you in Auburn and am debating between Krau and Ghurani (Spectrum). The coordinator that contacted me is Johanna, I'm hoping she's consistent with answering all my questions...I haven't seen many posts about her yet.
User Avatar
February 2, 2016
Hi justmine, Johanna is my coordinator I met with her Saturday and also Krau for the second time. She stayed with me in the room asking and answering questions and trying on different sizers till Krau got there and so far she's been great answering my calls and emails. Best of luck to you!

Btw if you want great looking boobs your best bet is with Krau! He is amazing and truly knows his work, I personally know people who have done BA and/or BL with him and the out come has been amazing and natural looking breast.
User Avatar
February 2, 2016
Thanks! I've definitely decided I want Krau! Now it's just a matter of when I can get my in-laws to watch my children! I am hoping sooner than later, I'm tired of flappy boobs!
Thanks again, and good luck with your surgeries!!!
February 5, 2016
Hey,
The Hotel is in Coral gables I need to look up the name. But No it was not a package deal it was separate. My flight was 271 but I found a week later they dropped to $250 & I am flying with American Airlines! As far as far as the coordinator Johanna I heard she is nice, but I did see a review where someone said she didnt respond to emails very quickly. My coordinator is Karla and any time I have sent her an email I get a response with in minutes! Im glad you chose Krau because I heard Spectrum is a nightmare!! Good luck girl! Im scheduled for 02/27 Ill post before and after pics if you wanna follow! :)

I've read that about Spectrum too! My coordinator is now Catherine...I sent her the med history and pics and she called me the next day, but I wasn't able to take the call. I called her back and emailed her but have had no other reply from her other than her sending me another med history email

Mine also is Catherine so doesn't respond to emails and after I made my $1000 deposit I was supose to get an invoice. 2 phone calls and over a week later still nothing.
User Avatar
February 13, 2016
Todays_FELICIA, I was getting no replies from Catherine and ultimately switched to Karina. She's been great with answering questions, slower on email lately, but she is super sweet! I put my deposit down and had my receipt, lab work and Invoice in 4 days. There was an error on my pricing, but she quickly fixed it. I imagine with as many dolls as they have scheduling surgery, that the responses will be slower. I'm not scheduled until July 29th, so I am not worried about getting immediate replies. I may move my date up if my friend is unable to go for a BA at that time.
When are you scheduled?

Why did you have to do an ekg, chest X-ray and cardiologist medical clearance? Is that standard?

Don't think about CCs or bra sizing. (Chances are you're wearing the wrong size now, anyway.) Just show him pics of the look you want and he will make it happen! That's what I did and he gave me exactly the look I was after! Best of luck!
February 5, 2016
Yeah I know I need to just relax and let him do his magic! Its just so hard when you see everyone talking about CC's & sizes! Its like all I see now!! I'm excited & trust his work so thats all that matters. I also have been following your journey & cant wait to see what they look like once they drop!! Good luck to you as well.
