So, I lost a bunch of weight and decided I wanted to get a Tummy Tuck and breast lift. I researched a bunch of hospitals w/ low priced clinics. I went to NYEE for a consultation and met wit Dr. Polavarapu. I also went to Lenox Hill and met with Dr. Constantine. So far, loving my decision and waiting for surgery!

Hi ! First off congratulations on your choice. I wanted to know if Dr. Constantine showed you any of his pics ? Also why didn't you choose Dr. Polavarapu ? I am suppose to have consultation with her in January hoping the price is right bc I saw her work and I really like it.
December 19, 2013
Thank you! Well I actually really liked Dr. Polavarapu, she would be an excellent choice. She's very nice and personable. I didn't go with her for two reasons. One, NYEE only does one procedure at a time, and I wanted both a breast lift and tummy tuck. Secondly, upon feeling my stomach, she told me that I have a lot of visceral fat as opposed to the fat that could be lipoed. But the other doctor at lenox hill examined me and said he feels the opposite, which I agree with. And my spirit just felt better with Constatine. Also, no I've never seen his pictures because he's not allowed to show him, but I know that he takes pride in his work and he knows exactly how I want to look and he'll do it.

Ohhh wow that's good to know. Something I should keep in mind and maybe I should schedule at Lenox as well just in case she tells me the same. Finding the right doctor can be so stressful. I going to call Victoria today and schedule with Constantine. Thanks for the info :)

No problem doll. I think it's such a good idea to schedule at both and have some options. Initially I was sooooo sure I was going with Polavarapu, but things changed later on for me and I was really happy I kept my appts with Constatine

Ok, so it's 1am, and my surgery is at 12 noon today! I have to be at the hospital by 10:30, so I will wake up around 8am and get myself together. I've packed my little 'surgery bag' with everything I'll need. I'm kind of nervous though.... nervous but ready and excited. I'm young at 23 so I really hope the recovery won't be too bad and I bounce right back. Wish me luck!! Oh! I'm also adding a few before pics (eww) lol. Talk to you guys on the flat and lifted side!!

I did it! I'm laying down now at the hotel a cross the street. I wanted to post a quick update. The surgery went well. Everybody, I mean everybody, took such good care of me. My private nurse is the same nurse I had with me in the operating room. She is soooo kind and made me feel so much better. My doctor Constatine has bee everything and more. Everyone is so friendly down to the nursing assistants in or. My anesthesiologist was amazing, I think his name was Dr. Tanabaum. I cannot stress enough how nice everyone was. I am feeling good now, not in much pain but sore at the incision site and breasts a little bit. My nurse said I look very flat. I'm rambling now so let me sleep and ttyl.

Thanks to you all for your well wishes. I'm doing fine now, I kind of can't believe it lol. When I came out of surgery I was in a bit of pain. Once they put medication in my IV, in one minute (literally one minute) I felt sooooo much Better. It was kind of freaky actually. lol but I'm feeling sore now. I'll take a nap now though guys ttyl
