Placed deposit for my drainless tummy tuck Lopo on...

YayyayOctober 10, 2014

$14,700

Placed deposit for my drainless tummy tuck Lopo on flanks and lift without implants. Very nervous, just because surgery is anticipated to take 6 hrs. Have 3 little ones so my anxiety is high. I am trying to stay off the computer so that it doesn't rattle my nerves more. I have lots of help after the surgery. I will post my before pics in the next week or so. I have a very hangy belly from 3 c-sections and the fact that I lose the majority of my weight within first 3 weeks after delivery. So there is a lot of extra skin. I am a full D cup and decided against implants because I know there is a chance that they will have to be replaced since I am young. Doctor said size maybe a little smaller once lifted but insists that I have dense breast tissue and I will be happy with the end result. I will post my next update after my pre-op appt on October 21st! Oh, I also have connective tissue disease, fibromyalgia, IBS, Celiac, hypothyroid, and some post Partum depression just FYI.

Hey there, thank you immensely for starting your story here. I know it can be stressful thinking about being in surgery when you have children at home. I've been through one surgery since having kids and it was hard. Hang in there. We are here for you! Here's a list of pre- and post-op mommy makeover tips for you.

Hi, I am considering having the same exact procedures as you with this doctor. I met with him and I really liked him but also like you, I am concern that he doesn't have a lot of people who have done reviews on him and he did not show me lots of before and after photos either. I believe he showed me one before and after. I can't wait to see your before and after photos and to follow your journey. A quick question, since you are not having implants, do you know if he will be doing a vertical sling breast lift? that's the type of breast lift that gives you more upper pole fullness and a rounder look to the breast. I don't know if he even does this type of breast lift I am just curious to know if he does. Anyway, so happy for you and will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Hello, I'm not sure that he mentioned a vertical sling. I know that he said one breast is slightly more saggy than the other so on my left he will do the lollipop (verticle cut with a small inch long cut on the underneath food of my breast. But on the right I will just have the verticle only. I will defiantly ask him at the pre op spot next week. I did tell the office I was very nervous and they had another patient call me. I am supposed to meet up with her to check out all her before and after pics. She had really great things to say about the whole process that she had done about 7 weeks ago. I will probably post my before pics this weekend.

Yayyay, thank you. I am meeting with him in a couple of weeks too. I am very nervous about doing the breast lift with him because I don't want to lose size and I don't want to have that boxy look that most breast lifst end up having. That is why I was wondering if he knew how to do the vertical sling breast lift. As far as the TT goes, I am very confident in his abilities in that respect, I just wish he would show more photos of his work. Well, can't wait to see your photos and good luck with everything!

Hi, Just wondering how your pre-op with Dr. Pollock go? and also did you get to meet with his previous patient? did you get to see her scars?

Pre op was on 22nd. It went well but I decided to go ahead with implants. Really would prefer not to but he couldn't guarantee how much size i would lose. He said his educated guess would be about half a cup size but he wouldn't be able to say 100% until he was doing the surgery. Thought it over for several days and I am going to go with 250cc saline implants.

Surgery is in the morning...

YayyayNovember 4, 2014

Surgery is in the a.m. Nervous, excited, anxious!!! Cross your fingers for me. If you want to see post op pics send me a private message. Can't figure out how to upload multiple pics. I will try and figure it out as I lay in bed over the next several days!

Surgery went great! Took 7hrs, all nurses were great. I feel ok, chose to stay a night here but honestly could have gone home and been fine. I am walking around a little. C-section hurt worse than this so I am happy :).. Tummy and boobs look great!

Hi, I am so happy that everything is going great for you! I have been following you as you know that Dr. Pollock will be my surgeon as well. I will send you a private message so you can send me your pictures. I am on the fence about wether I want implants or not. I also, like you, don't want to be less than a full D but the Doctor won't assure me that I will so I am scared to do the lift without implants. Would love to see pictures showing the scars for both your breast and tummy tuck. Thanks and continue healing.

Day 1at home. Not too bad really sore but able to walk around. Tired and nauseous off and on but overall ok. I am able to take care of the kids some. And hold the baby laying in my lap. Fyi - I was given advice to get a hospital bed even if I had to rent it and I love it. It's easier to get in and out of and I can out bassinet right by me.

Can u please give me some finance options for a tummy tuck/breast lift?

Yayyay

November 18, 2014

? Idk you would have to ask the office. I know with tuck/lift/saline implants it was around 14700. I think without the implants it was a couple thousand less
