WORTH IT$8,000
Hi i have lost 185 lbs on my own. I had two kids and went from 46 DDD to 36 DD. ( push up bra) I am small on time and have a curvy but and thighs. I am going down to florida on April 14th to 29th. I will be 3 hours from miami and fort lauderdale. I need a BA/BL and since i am down there might as well get it done while i am down there. I dont plan on going on rides. I am active and healthy 42 yr old only takes vitamins. I just have a ? about the whole consultations. I already had my mammo done last june so that is ok. I have the factor five which i dont think it will effect the my top cause most of the weight is the bottom. But i already been cleared for surgery TT in 2011. That went well. Since then i have lost 30 more lbs. I have maintained my weight. I will get the lipo and thigh surgery later since the recovery time is longer. I dont think i need to take any lovenox or blood thinners for this. I really want to have it done while i am down there. When i had my TT i researched it for a long time and know the ins and outs just like i am doing with BA/BL and i hope the doctors down there will let me do it. Can someone suggest anything? Can i just email pics to doctors to get a quote. I wont have a problem getting a lender for my operation. I just want my figure back. I hope it will work out if not i guess it is not meant to be. I am flying from maine to florida. I dont need a car or hotel. Thanks for checking my page out.

I noticed you asked a question and got lots of answers from the doctors, so that's real good info. I have thought about going out of state for surgery, but the one thing that worries me is the follow up. Of course we hope not to have any difficulties, but you need a plan just in case for after you get home. Like a doctor who will do your follow up appts where you live? What's that saying? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Good luck!

Yay!! So glad today is better than yesterday. You look great and I know you'll end up loving them!!!! I had my 4 week today, and she did say they will continue to settle for the next few months, and up to a year. So I look at it like a thrill seeing the change. I'm anxious to see your pictures later :)

I decided to go with Dr Krau since he isn't making a big fuss about my factor five. I know what you mean about TT i had that done in 2011. I still need a revision on mine but i just want my boobs done first. I have seen his work and i feel alot better about him and his technique. I can't wait i am soo excited. No more flat boobies. Lol
