Round 2 BOOKED!
WORTH IT$8,000
May 25, 2016 is the day I get a stomach to match the rest of my body! After my (2nd) appt with Dr Dass, I knew he was the right doctor! I am SO excited! I will start a new review as my procedure date nears. Yay!

Younai vs Dass - Round 2 Planning
I have an appt Friday with Dr. Dass and am trying to get in with Dr. Younai too.
I am concerned about even seeing Dass bc I am pretty sure be will want to do my procedure with local AND his prices tend to be thousands more than other doctors. So now I am debating if I should even go see him. Dr. Younai does general. And Dass charges $50 for a consult. Younai does not.
Dr. Younai already quoted me (8300 for full abdomen and back including flanks) - great price. However, I am changing what I want done, so it will be less. My abdomen is most concerning to me so that is #1 on the list...#2 is arms..#3 is upper back.
Dr Younai does a great job on all of these areas! I saw his arm lipo pics last night - wow! He does the bicep AND tricep area. Most docs only do the tricep area.
Sounds like I am leaning toward Younai huh???
Being that it's Round 2, I will be 100% straight up about my expectations, bc I do NOT want Round 3!
I am hoping to get this done May 18-20 (4 weeks away)!!!!
Stay tuned...

Anyone else experience TT upselling??
I am shocked how many RS doctors have replied to a question I posted suggesting a TT. I don't have loose or hanging skin, nor do I have enough skin to create a new belly button. I'm just shocked! Jaw on the floor shocked! I have not had an in-person TT suggestion and I know these RS docs can only tell so much from pics, and I have seen women whose before pictures were much larger than mine, but they only had lipo. So I'm just baffled!
Anyone else experience this?

Hey
I am 7 days post op and I'm feeling the same way you are. I'm worried that my lower abdomen pouch won't dissapear. I hope you don't have to get a tummy tuck, I agree with you that you don't have that much down there to do a tummy tuck. I really don't want to get correction surgery but if after my three month period if it's not completely flat, then I will have to.
I hope it all works out for you. I would love to hear how it goes.

I love was worried about my stomach within days of surgery too. I hope my next doctor leaves the front incisions open so my stomach can drain. I honestly think that would've made a huge difference. But what do I know???? I will follow your progress and hope things get better.

It was suggested to me, but my time restraint to be well enough by our vacation prohibited the TT. It guarantees flatness, so it makes the docs work look better too I suppose. But I agree with you. You'll be fine without it. If he plans on taking out more than your state's law you may be quoted for a night in a hospital that's causing the increase? This was the cost of mine because I had to stay overnight. No TT, just lipo. 9.5 liters taken out. Cost of hospital stay was $5,800. I think you & I should go in together on starting up a hospital!

Yea we should!!! Haha!
You make a good point - if thats his plan (to take out more tha state limit) 1- he didn't communicate that and 2- he should have mentioned it lolol!
We will see. I'm still considering him, but definitely want to meet him in person.

I was informed "after" my surgery that I had "too much fat" and I was getting a tummy tuck anyway. I'm serious, it's in my review. I knew the skin would look bad but I just wanted the chance to see how it would look, and wanted to look better in clothes. Now I still have the untouched large abdomen which really kinda ruins that sillhouette the bbl gives. My booty looks great, tummy notsomuch... ugh :/

Ok...but what I'm saying is, I don't need a tummy tuck. I have no loose or sagging skin. That's why I feel these RS online doctors are upselling me. PLUS when women who are much larger than me just get lipo and look great post op, It baffles me why a dr would suggest a TT.

March 23, 2016
You def do not need a tummy tuck. So annoying that they are trying to upsale !

March 23, 2016
THANK YOU! I believe about 10 doctors responded and 8/10 said mini TT. Those responses stung. I wish I could take my question down.

March 23, 2016
Totally they are thinking of their wallets. If you need a TT than so do most of us - which would be ridiculous . It's all about the $$$$ .
Bleh

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!!! I was hoping no one took it the wrong way when I said that women that had more body than me only had liposuction so epping would I...but it is a good point!
I am focusing on good old weight loss and will see where that gets me. However, I am REALLY considering a breast lift w/implant now :-D

I am interested in a BL. Would you recommend Macias?
