WORTH IT$5,800
it has been almost three years since my breast augmentation and December will be 3 years from my tummy tuck. I gained so much weight, pushing close to 200 pounds. Stomach never stretch didn't gain weight in that area. But I did gain weight and everywhere else. It has been a long road to trying to lose it but I have lost 40 pounds. I still have a goal. I hate that I didn't take care of myself after spending all that money. I am learning to love me again. I do still want other surgeries like a nose job but as far as lipo, I want to work on my body as much as I can.

So the 23rd was a year since my surgery. I'm still very happy with results. however I have gained extra weight around my legs and butt area which I didn't need. I recently started having back problems not sure if its due to my breast augmentation or the fact that I have pretty bad posture but um have seen the chiropractor for the last 3 to 4 months now. he said my back was pretty locked up he said could be due to the fact that my breast or maybe a little too heavy for me and a combination of walking for such a long. Of time hunched over. did anybody else seem to have that problem my surgeries were about 5 months apart. I still would like to see about fixing my nose I'm possibly more like them but other than that I'm very happy with the outcome my surgery. hope everyone is still healing and very happy with the outcome wishing you the best.

I want to place a mother and child sign under my bb. I think it would be ok but I'm wondering if that will cause any weird swelling. I usually wear a one piece. Still too shy lol

Your "scars" are looking great...Nice and smooth and barley visible ! I guess the docs are right when they tell us...just wait...I guess PATIENCE is a virtue! I noticed you gave your doc 3/5 stars for Bedside manner....any issues in particular , or what do you feel they could have done better? Thx!

Hi! How's everything going for you so far? I'm thinking of going to see Dr. Ghafoori after reading several reviews of her work here. Can you tell me where she does her surgeries? I know she has an office in Harlingen but does she do them there or at a hospital?
