Where do I begin....I have thought about getting a breast lift ever since I was a teenager. I have never had perky boob, (blame genetics)! Additionally, I lost over 80lbs (yay!!) but made my boobs even worse (nayy :-(). So I finally got the courage to do my research again to find the best surgey I could for my procedure. I started doing my resesach in via Google (because google knows everything!) and I came across some good prospects. In the process I stumbbled upon realself, which changed EVERYTHING about my research process. It is life facebook and yelp for plastic surgery! I love it! After months of just reading reviews, I got serious about my search. I currently live in NYC, and the prices here for a breast life and implants is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I feel for this price I should come out of the surgery room looking like beyonce, rihanna, hell any female celebrity that is glorified in the media! Surprisingly, my bf gave me the idea of look into FL, which brings me here..... I found Dr. Karu through reviews on realself. I was actually looking at his private practice before I saw that he was about of CG Cosmetics. At first I was against going out of state because of after care concerns (little paranoid when it comes to medical things), but the way my bank account is set-up and all the great reviews, I felt more comfortable with going with Dr. Karu. I researched his bad reviews, malpractice lawsuits, and watched his youtube videos. It appeared he knows his stuff, so I was like ok I will email for a consult. Me and the coordinator did not start off on the best foot, but we are working it out. I am just trying to stay positive. I am scheduled for May 14th. I have never had any kind of surgery and have always been in great health (thankfully), so I am just keeping my fingers crossed. Let the count down begin!!

Yayy!! Good luck! Where are you going for your procedure?
April 21, 2016
Hi there! Did you have to pay the 1000$ deposit before scheduling your consultation. Because I had the same thoughts as you and was thinking of Coral Gables instead of going to his private office since it was way cheaper. I wanted to know your thoughts about that...
April 21, 2016
No you can make your appoiment whit out the money
April 21, 2016
Ans check well his private office is much better if you having just implant cg is perfect but if you need lift in his private office he will have more time whit your sergury

Hello! I had a WHOLE different issue with CG and their billing process. Basically yes I had to put down the deposit, but they actually ended up charging me for the full amount. I am not this biggest fan of my coordinator and the communication, but I keep reminding myself that I am going there for the doctor because he is the best not the coordinator

I had considered going to his private practice initially, but I found him at CG and financially it made more sense. I am coming from out of state Alone and will be using the recovery house. Going with CG was more financially focused, so if you can afford going to is private practice. Then by all means do what is best for you.
April 21, 2016
Hey that's exactly my situation. Where exactly is the recovery house you're going to? I'm going from out of town as well..
April 21, 2016
Hey thanks for getting back to me :)

I'm going to check the prices for both... I read so many good things about his private office... But CG has the best price by far...

I absolutely agree! I would have preferred To go to his private practice, but the way my bank account is set up lol
April 22, 2016
Yeah... :( they told me it would cost 3500$ ... And apparently someone told me it would be another 1400$ for his private office.

When is your surgery girl?

Hi Hun! I too have been stalking Dr. Krau via Google so I change my mind from dr. Ortega at spectrum to Dr. Krau. My problem I'm experiencing is I can't get s hold of my coordinator for nothing, she had not call or replied to an email. I don't even know my quote! Frustrating but dr. Krau is the only doctor I see that does really nice lifts w/ implants. I'm just waiting for s reply from this knuckle head of a coordinator.
April 21, 2016
Call cg on person ask for another coordinator he is great
April 21, 2016
Is true his lifts are super beatiful

I would literally call the office and ask to speak to them in person. I was borderline harassing. I know they were annoyed with me, but I don't care. I need info! And this is my life. I am not buying a purse or shoes you know. I read reviews where people had great coordinators, that is just not my experience. I am working with them because I know Dr. Karu is the dr I want. So just pick up the phone and get to harassing (in the kindest most respectful way of course lol

I'm sorry ladies there was an error on my price becuz my coordinator gave wrong photos, so I switch coordinators and I got the appropriate quite which is $3500 I basically harassed CG until I spoke with Tatiana who was able to resolve this mishaps. Ugh for all this I better have beautiful breast. Yes I'm doing the procedure at CG.
