Smart Lipo & Breast Augmentation - Georgia

ORIGINAL POST

I have been considering breast augmentation for...

WORTH IT$11,500

I have been considering breast augmentation for about 2 years now. I just recently started looking into smartlipo after gaining 20 pounds and not having the time to work it off like I use to.

My goal is to get rid of the love handles (flanks) and the small kangaroo pouch I cant seem to get rid of after having my 2nd child. As for the implants I am currently a B cup and am going up one size. I decided to do silicone since to me they feel more real and they r suppose to last longer than saline. I went for my consult today in GA and after speaking with the doc im really excited but nervous at the same time.

I cant believe this time has finally come and everything is pd for. I will post pictures of me before the surgery, after and my progress...

Hi Kristy, Thanks for the warm welcome. I will be uploading some photos today. I am getting nervous as time passes. I'm guessing because I am still in shock that it's finally going to happen. I spoke with the hospital staff yesterday over the phone. They basically wanted to verify all of my demographics and make sure everything they had on file was correct. Wednesday, 1/23/13, I have my pre-op appointment with the hospital and the doctor....so I'll be back Wednesday!!! :)

Hope everything goes well with your pre-op tomorrow! Being nervous is normal but I'm sure everything will go fine for you!

Hi Sblunt11, Thank you! Every positive word helps. I went today for my labs and go Wednesday for my pre-ob with the doctor. My only worry really is how soon will I be able to return to work. Although I sit at a desk all day I worried about being in pain and not having the help I need while im there. I took the week off and am hoping thats enough time to be able to at least sit in one spot for 4 hours before a break and not be too uncomfortable.

Hello everyone, So I had my pre-op appointment...

Hello everyone,

So I had my pre-op appointment today with the doc and the hospital. The pre-op with the doctor made me that much more comfortable with having my surgery. He basically went over my measurements suggested what implant I should use as well as how many CCs he would recommend, not knowing what he said was the exact same thing I had already decided on when I seen his assistant a week ago, lol. That made me feel really good. He was so on point with everything. He asked what is my reason for wanting the augmentation and I advised him that not only to be bigger, which he already knew, but to have more cleavage. He was up front and honest and just basically let me know that going bigger isn't a problem but the way my breast are made he can't move then closer but a good push up bra will help with the cleavage. Which is fine by me, I have gone 30 years with no breast and no cleavage so just having bigger breast makes me happy. We also discussed how the procedure would be performed, via the crease under my breast (inframammary fold). To get my desired cup size we both agreed on 300cc modernized silicone implants. My surgery date is February 5th at 7:30 a.m and I cant wait.

We then went on to discuss the smart lipo. Of course he asked what results am I looking to obtain by doing the smart lipo. I let him know that I do not like my love handles and I wish to have a tighter stomach. Well unfortunately I had to push back the date of my lipo surgery because the hospital in which he is performing the surgery does not carry the equipment needed to do the smartlip and therefore I will having this surgery a month after my breast augmentation. I was a little disappointed in the beginning being that I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. But after he told me I had to only wait 1 month from the date of the augmentation I was a little relieved because that's not a really long time. I asked about the garments used after the lipo surgery and where to purchase them, he told me that was all included in my fees, yaaay.

After I was done seeing the doctor I went over to the hospital for my pre-op. I seen the nurse who took my vitals, and gave me instructions on what to do the night before the surgery, like bathe with this anticeptic skin cleaner after testing it on my skin. She advised me not to drink or eat anything the morning of the surgery. She told me during the procedure I would have to wear leg warmers to keep my blood flowing and this gown that heats up to keep me warm, :). I was also told no piercings, so I have to change my nose and tongue ring with a plastic cap or something. I think thats about it. Overall Im still excited. Oh while at the hospital one of the nurses asked me who my surgeon was and I told her Dr. Okoro, her response was, he's really good. She said she have seen his work and he does an amazing job and he has clients who come in from all over to see him. Which I could believe because today when I went into his office, omg, it was so busy. There was a lobby full of people when I went in at 2 and when I left at 4 they were still coming in. I feel like im in good hands! Anxiously waiting!!!

It's great to hear how excited you are. Just make sure to stay calm. Also, you will find that the 1 month wait after the 1st surgery is well worth that way the soreness from 1 has subsided and you can do more verses having to be super sore with both at the same time. My prayers are truly with you and I hope that you get the results that you so long for.
