WORTH IT$14,700

I visited Dr. Coan on November 4, 2015 for a consultation on implant removal (had implants since 2003) and a breast lift (current size 36DD). I must say, after having several other consultations with other local plastic surgeons, Dr. Coan totally won me over at hello! His office staff is most professional and responsive. Every question I had was answered during the consultation, he even asked me questions that I hadn't thought of. I appreciate the fact that he has experience with hypertrophic scars and keloids. His credentials are quite impressive, and is highly recommended by other Physicians in the Raleigh/Durham area. Tica and JJ have also been absolutely wonderful to work with, and explained the various payment options. I'm looking forward to my surgery and the amazing skillful work Dr. Coan will deliver!

Thank you for posting all your pictures. Gives me hope from all this swelling. I am post op 1 week and still very swollen. I had a mommy make over too. Boob reduction , lift , and lipo. You look great!

Thank you, Analeblanc! Yes, hang in there. I had TT, breast implant removal, breast reduction and lift. It will get better, much better. It's hard, but don't focus on the swelling. You won't see any real results until like 6 weeks. I'm almost 12 weeks, and 6 weeks ago, I didn't look as good as I do today. Happy healing!

Thanks so much for the information. My abdomen looks tighter but lots of swelling. May I ask you what size of shorts/pants you were and what you can wear now? ☺️:) also how long did you walk hunched back lol? Right now I'm wearing a white lumbar brace(which was placed at surgery), my drain is out and he told me to continue to wear this brace. Should I be better supportive by another garment?

Sure, so I wore a full compression garment for 6 weeks, 23 hours a day. I was a misses 8, and now I'm a 4. I was hunched over for 5 weeks. Hope this helps!

Mommy Makeover

Gemini71December 30, 2015

During my pre operative appointment I decided to have abdominalplasty. So, yes I'm going for the mommy makeover now. My surgery has been moved up to January 5th. I'm super excited and a bit nervous, but I truly believe Dr. Coan will deliver the expected results. Again, his whole staff is absolutely amazing and has been there for everything I've needed thus far.

Hi, did you get liposuction in uour back and flanks or just the Tummy Tuck?

Thanks

Hello, no lipo. Just the TT. I must admit right after surgery and for 5 months I was thinking that I should have had lipo on my flanks, but now I see why my doctor didn't think I needed it. Once the swelling goes down...after 6 months you get a better idea of the end result.

Surgery is tomorrow!

Can't believe tomorrow at this time I will be back home. Mommy makeover will be complete. I was extremely anxious today, but after talking to Dr. Coan I feel much better. I'm so glad I chose Care Plastic Surgery for my MMO. Will post a review and before & after pics once I'm a few days post op.
