WORTH IT$12,800
Hello realself!
I live west palm beach, FL
I'm 26yrs old, 5'2 and 123lbs.
I'm hoping to get a mommy make over in December 2016 to be summer ready woop woop !
I have 3 beautiful babies all delivered via c-section. So you can imagine the damage to my belly and stomach muscles.
I had a breast augmentation and lift in 2007 with Dr. Sean Simon when he practiced at Coral Gables Cosmetic Center. Since then I've had 3 children and fluctuated in weight tremendously, so my breast definitely need a revision. This time around I want another lift and gummy bear implants !
In 2014 I had gastric bypass at 5'2 and a whopping 220lbs. I was over weight and could not take being fat anymore ! Also, my eating habits were HORRIBLE! I made a huge decision and I'm very happy because I lost a ton of weight and I have truely learned how to eat the right way.
I've been going to consults since Oct. 2016!
And right now I'm TORN between Dr. Carlos Spera in Davie, FL and Dr. Leonard Hochstein in North Miami, FL.
In all honesty my 1st Choice is Dr. Leonard Hochstein because I absolutely love his tummy tucks and his incision placement. And let's not even talk about his boob jobs ! Omg to die for ! But he wants 20% of total cost upfront to book appt. Date and I wanted to put all costs on a Care Credit Card. He quoted me $14,000 so I would need to give somewhere around $3,000 in cash, debit or credit that I at the moment do not have for this surgery.
Dr. Carlos Spera has a few nice mommy makover before and afters on his website, but reviews done by patients I can barely find. I only found 1 review on a mommy make over patient on Real Self which is my go to for reviews on plastic surgery. He does approve all costs put on a Care Credit Card which is a plus for me. He quoted me $13,400.
I've thought about this a lot so hopefully I'll make a decision by TOMORROW lol because December will be here before I know it.
I'm going to try and call Dr. Leonard Hochstein's office tomorrow and see if he will accept everything on Care Credit, if not well then Dr. Carlos Spera it is.

I was also leaning toward Dr. Hochstein, until I met with Dr. Jason Altman. He has great results and bed side manners. I'm very happy with my results. He only requires $1K down payment.

Dr. Spera is amazing. I did a breast lift and augmentation 3 years ago with him. He did such a good job. I just did a tummy tuck last week and it was the best thing I could of ever done. I'm right now 6 days post op. I feel good and look good. I highly recommend him

Oh wow ! I've been wanting to meet someone with personal experience how did you like your tummy tuck?
January 5, 2017
I did I tried sending you the pics through this comment but it didn't let me. It's posted now through my profile. I will keep updating it every two weeks. I love my tummy it's so flat, he also did some Lipo and I have a nice curve. For me it was so worth it and I think he did a very good job. Like I said on my profile he gives you prescription in advance, ambien for sleep, hydrocodone for pain, an anti nausea med that I never took, and miralax for constipation which I had to use. The only discomfort I go through is when I wake up, I have to take a hydrocodone but other than that tyelonol is all I take. Tomorrow is 9 days I'm taking out my drain and the stitches in the back from the Lipo. The incision is self absorbed sitches. I'm very happy with my results

I also did my breast lift and breast augmentation 4 years ago. With that I had a little complication because my right was bigger than my left, so he removed fat from my right to make them symmetrical which caused a hematoma, major brusing for 8 weeks on my right. I'm in the medical field and it turn black like coal. I called his office every day and I remember He saw me everyday and checked on it, I was in a lot of pain and he gave me an extra prescription for pain killers wighout an issue. Which cvs gave me such a hard time because I had just refilled one two weeks ago. Long behold he was right after 3 months they were perfect they are still perfect and I love them. I have no scars but I did the areola lift not the lollipop and it's over the muscle though with saline. But I love my boobs, they are super even

Not too shabby !
I don't look too bad in clothes. Ladies I'm soooo confused as to what size implant to get!? I'm getting gummy bear implants, do gummy bear implants run by cc's?
Right now I currently have 250cc on the right boob and 200cc on the left boob.
And remember I'm 5'2 and 125ish lbs.

I think it depends from brand to brand, Nartelle runs by grams but they are almost eqaul to ccs. I think that with your measurements you can get 250-300 ccs. What does your surgeon say?
