Pre op - Can't wait to update you all!​

Hey friends, I have a surgery scheduled with Dr. Zochowski for June 11. I'm getting Lipo 360, Lipo on the inner thigh and knees, and revision on a surgery scar for another doctor. This is my third cosmetic surgery, but my first with this doctor. So far, I have only had my consultation which went amazingly. I spoke with Dr. Zochowski and his nurse Heidi. I'll describe my experience from the beginning. As soon as we walked into the building, it and the office were both impeccable and impressive. The interior design and style were so relaxing and stylish. The women at the front desk were all smiles and super friendly and helpful. We were taken back to the room and I finished filling out my paperwork as we waited for Dr. Zochowski. He came in and was so friendly, had such a calm presence, and was very knowledgeable and informative. I want to mention that I have gone to probably about eight consultations at this point and had accepted that most plastic surgeons have little to no bedside manner. Initially, I felt uncertain about that but after meeting a few of them, I realized maybe that's just what it takes to be a plastic surgeon. But doctor Zakowski proved that theory wrong. He was very personable and had a kind presence. It felt like our meeting lasted a whole hour and at some point I thought no wonder they take $100 fee, he really takes his time with you and it is worth every penny. he steps out about halfway through and instruct me to change into the robe so he can assess what parts I was concerned with. He was very reassuring and even commented positively on my tattoos, which made everything felt feel very lighthearted. He also called me a beautiful canvas, which made me feel good. at this point I'm feeling a lot less nervous and more optimistic about choosing him as my surgeon. After examining me, Heidi takes me to their photo room where they have a big fancy machine with a camera and a mat on the floor that indicates where you should place your feet so they can take pictures of you from different angles. Again, I have gone to many consultations and have gotten pictures taken from a few other surgeons and most of them do it by hand with a hand held camera so this felt very upscale and official. You would think that with such a beautiful building, office, equipment, furniture, etc., that his quote would be astronomically high. As we waited for the quote, my sister and I were practically holding our breaths and hoping that it wasn't too good to be true, but when he came back with the quote, it was actually less than some of the doctors I had previously visited with. Of course it is still a pretty penny but very very reasonable for what I'm getting. I wanted to ponder my options for a couple of days, but I was pretty sold after meeting with him and knew right away that he was who I wanted to book with. so I booked a couple days later when I got my loan approved. I am very excited, but also very nervous and anxious. My mind keeps going between being fueled by my anxious thoughts, thinking up the worst possible scenarios, and feeling so excited and elated that I have the opportunity to have this experience and that hopefully, one day in the near future, I will feel much more comfortable in my body. It really is a roller coaster of emotions and having a support system is so important. Anyways, it was good vibes all around. I will be posting some before pictures soon but for now I'll post some info pics. Can't wait to update you all!

Also I forgot to mention, he projected possibly removing 6700cc and informed me that usually anything above 5000 required a hospital stay so I will be doing that if he ends up removing that much. It is an additional cost but actually also cheaper than what I expected so I'm okay with it.

Love the natural curves and small waist
