After having 3 children and losing about 60 pounds, my body is definitely not what it use to be. I started contemplating plastic surgery about 3 or 4 years ago and this year everything has fallen in place for me to get it done.
So, today I met with Dr. Raniere in their Mcdonough office. This was my 2nd consultation. The first plastic surgeon I met with had a somewhat arrogant disposition and it seemed like instead of asking me what I wanted, he would just do what he thought would look good. So, I really appreciated how thorough Dr R was in explaining the surgical procedures, the risks and the healing process. I felt like he took my wants and other factors into what would work best. And he also let my husband and I see and feel the difference between the silicone and saline implants. I was also impressed with their patient coordinator. She was so sweet. I am hoping to have all the procedures done on Dec 10. =)

Woo-hoo! Less than a month to go! I'm glad all has fallen into place for you. I'll be looking forward to your updates.

Thank you for sharing. The pictures are phenomenal. I am considering procedures with Dr. Raniere in the near future and your pictures definitely helped. I do agree with your comments on Dr. Raniere and his staff so far from my consultation and interactions to date. They have been extremely helpful, informative and comforting my nervousness.

Surgery Scheduled for Dec 10

Coonic
I called the Patient coordinator and paid the fee for scheduling the surgery for Dec 10. The count down has begun!!!
A few more details about what I am getting done: I am getting a breast lift and augmentation. At one point my breasts were a D but now I am B. I want to be a FULL C. I can't wait to have nice firm breasts again.
I am getting a full tummy tuck. I had 3 C-sections and have pretty bad stretch marks. I have that little fold where my scar is and just the typical stretched out skin.
I am getting Lipo on my flanks to compliment the tummy tuck.
I am also getting circumferential lipo on my thighs. I have always had bigger legs with cellulite. The doc told me not to expect everything to be perfect after the lipo. I was still have loose skin and cellulite but my legs will be much smaller and that is all I am asking for.
I have my pre-op appointment scheduled for Nov 25 and I will try to get some "before" pics posted.

Pre-Op and Before Pics

Coonic
I had my pre-op appointment on Nov 25. I paid the rest of the balance and had my "before" pics taken. I have to say that I love their patient coordinator. She is so friendly and open. Today I received a call from the surgery center letting me know to be at there on Dec 10 at 7 am. 5 MORE DAYS! I have all my prescriptions filled and my comfy clothes and robe all ready to go. I am so excited for the "new me" but I am anxious about the recovery. I have 3 small children and I don't know if they will understand why I can't hold them or help them as I usually do. But my Husband is taking off 3 weeks from work to help out. We have moved our recliner to our bedroom so I won't be as easily accessible to my kids and I will hopefully be able to rest undisturbed. Ok well as promised I am posting some before pics.
