Well I'am 41 my boys are 19 and 21 I decided to finally get my tummy tuck and a little something for my husband breast after 23 years together LOL.So I BEEN researching doctor for the past 2 years .So the first Dr.I go to in Erie Pa.DR,KANG he was very pushy he insisted i need lipo with the tt .Well I'am 5'1 and 110 pd I don't think I need lipo just have a little baby pouch .cost 10,600 So next I go to Altoona Pa.Dr.louton he was very nice staff was great but I did't like his incisions cost 11,400 .

Next I go to Pittsburgh Pa.Dr.Lazz just hated everything about this dr.mostly his attitude cost 16,000 I'am about to give up back to the web decide to look outside of Pa.While I'am still searching I go to Dr.Ali Dubois Pa. for a much need chemical peel and some botox well this ended up to be a night mare,besides the blue dots all over my face that took hours to scrub off and yes his botox had me almost in tears there was nothing gentle about this Dr.well then his nurse starts the 4 week chemical peel 2nd week I told his nurse I was looking for a good plastic surgeon well she informed me DO NOTgo to our local surgeon Labrasca and for the next 2 weeks all I heard about how Labrasca was book smart but not a good surgeon and that she tells all her patient to go else ware and she had alot of patients needing surgery .

Let me remind you this is a nurse very UNPROFESSIONAL she evan had the nerve to tell me she lives over by this Labrasca office yes it ran thru my head this nurse belongs on a lifetime movie what she going to stock me if I go for a consultaion with Labrasca she was so OBSESSED with this other dr.the chemical were running in my mouth .That was the end for me .So I find a Dr. in Towson Md.Dr.lickistien fell in love everything about this Dr.is amazing down side 5 hours would have to stay in Maryland for 2 weeks .

Well then my husband aunt works at our local hospital she a supervisior been there 22 years .so he tells her about the nurse at Dr,Ali office she checks out Dr.Labrasca who 5 min.from our house and she informs my husband he amazing Dr,well Iam still crazy over this nurse but my husband tricks me and makes a bet with me and if I lose I have to go for a consultation with Labrasca well I lost but my mind made up love Md.and thats were I'am going but I go to Labrasca did't really care what he had to say .Like after every visit my husband ask what you like what you hate .I had nothing to say .So then my husband says well you can't tell me anything bad about Labrasca and he local He wants me to go to Labracsa so after four days I finally give in and go pay Labrasca but I decide to get some botox at his office hoping to find something wrong with Labrasca so I can go to Md.

Well went in expecting pain and blue dots.BOY WAS I WRONG omg painless and no blue dots very gentle and professional well so i had a few more visits with him couldn't find not one thing wrong with him .After 23 years I had to say those words to my husband (HE WAS RIGHT)Well surgery next week will keep you updated

That is quite a story! Thanks for starting your journey on RealSelf. So sorry you had to admit to your husband that he was right, but I'm glad you found the doctor you want to use. Please keep us posted!

it has been nine days post operation today. I got both of my drains out today and i am recovering well. I am loving my new FLAT tummy and my hunny is loving his new present as well.(my breasts LOL) I highly recommend Dr. Labrasca. I do not have much pain, except for in my back from having to walk hunched over all week.
