48 Years Old Awaiting a Long Overdue Mommy Makeover. - Metairie, LA

I have been planning to have a tummy tuck since I lost a considerable amount of weight several years ago, but the timing was not right until this past year. At some point in the decision making process, I decided to have breast augmentation as well. In February I attended my first consultation with Dr. Metzinger. I chose him first because I could not find a single "nay-sayer" on-line. All of his reviews are excellent and his credentials are outstanding. At the first consultation I could tell why. He is extremely thorough and explains the procedures in detail. He takes complete measurements and gives advice based on both the patient's desired outcome and what is possible given the patient's physical proportions. I wanted to be thorough and not make a decision impulsively so I visited many other plastic surgeons in the New Orleans area. I think I consulted with six different surgeons before deciding to go with the first doctor I visited. I paid a lot for those many different consultations, but you cannot put a price on piece of mind. I'm sure all of those other surgeons were capable as well, but none of them paid the same attention to detail as Dr. Metzinger had in the initial consultation. With many of them I felt rushed, that is not going to happen in Dr. Metzinger's office. At my second consultation, Dr. Metzinger spent a considerable amount of time with me again to explain everything in detail. He answered every question that I had with complete honesty and his depth of knowledge was obvious. During that consultation I paid my deposit, set the date, and never looked back. I had complete confidence that I had chosen the right doctor and today three weeks after my surgery, I know I was right. Everything he told me initially has been exactly as he said it would be from the size of my implants to the placement of my incisions. I should mention the incisions...Dr. Metzinger is an artist! Today, three weeks post-op I can tell that my incisions will not be noticeable when they fade. My tummy tuck incision is extremely thin and it lies exactly where he said it would. It is neatly hidden under my skimpiest undergarments and bikinis, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because it is so thin. I can't even see my breast incisions. They are already perfectly hidden. The after care that Dr. Metzinger and his staff provide is impeccable. I was seen the day after surgery, and once every week since then. I never have had a lengthy wait at any of those appointments. In addition, all of the staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and professional. Although this is my first experience with plastic surgery it will definitely not be my last and I will always choose Dr. Metzinger as my surgeon. With every confidence, I can say that he is the best plastic surgeon in the New Orleans area.
