700 Cc Sub Muscular Saline Implants - Miami, FL

I decided to travel to Miami for an augmentation...

WORTH IT$2,500
I decided to travel to Miami for an augmentation by Dr. Jacob Freiman on August 14. I'm less than 2 weeks post op and it gets better everyday. I started a small 36B and I knew I wanted large implants. I feel like my body type would look so much better and I was so happy that my ps agreed. I went to Coral Gables Cosmetic Surgery Center in Miami, FL. Yadira was my coordinator and honestly everyone was great! If you are a needy person, this may not be for you, but it was perfect for me. I flew out on Tuesday the 12 so I could relax. On Wednesday the 13 I went in to the center to sign paperwork and have my pre-op consultation, but my ps was not in that day so I ended up meeting him the next day. On Thursday I went in and met with the doctor quickly, he drew on me, we decided on 650 cc saline. I then went to fill my prescriptions right down the street (I walked, it costs $82 for all my scripts), then I returned for surgery. The people who work there are very friendly and I had a great attitude in general which helps. Before I knew it I was in recovery. I found out that I ended up with 700 cc...I paid $40 to have a nurse drive me back to my hotel (they won't allow you to take a cab). I honestly felt fine, just sore like I did a million push ups. My boobs were square and up to my neck but I knew this was completely normal. On Friday I had my post op, but with another doctor because my surgeon was in surgery. I was examined and showed massage techniques. I also bought a compression strap while there for $25. I was told to wear it 24/7 for 2 weeks to help my boobs drop. This is expected with such large implants. My boyfriend flew to me on Friday night (his grandmother unexpectedly died the night before I left for Miami so he came to me right after the funeral). I was only on meds until Sunday, which is when we flew home together. We went out to south beach on Saturday but I recommend taking it easy. I feel great. My left boob is my problem child but it's normal for one to progress at a different rate than the other. I hope they continue to drop. My scars look great. I love my new boobs and I hope they keep getting better!

May I ask where did you travel from Miami from? Did you chose to get your surgery in Miami because of the cost? Your twins look great!

I traveled from Massachusetts. I decided to go to Miami because it was MUCH cheaper than where I am from. I am incredibly happy with the results. It was one year on August 14 and I am thrilled with everything. I would definetly recommend it :)

Thanks for the reply! How was the pre op appointment and follow up? I've that the office kind of pushes you out after the surgery. I also heard that you don't see the doc until your pre op and the day of the surgery. I am not sure if that's only for out of state patients. I am seriously thinking of using him for my BA, but I am afraid that he will not listen to my wishes and will give me what ever cc he thinks I need :/

I am 5'2", 150 lbs. started a 36b but very small in my opinion. I got 700 cc saline under the muscle through the infra mammary fold. My scar is only about an inch and I must say my doctor made the incisions super straight. I've seen others on this site that were jagged. I wanted them through my armpit but my doctor didn't recommend that for me, and he knows best, so I followed his advice. I'm going to add new pictures this evening so you all can see my progression. Also, on Friday 8/15 I was supposed to get Botox at CG, they only do injections on Fridays and they had a really cheap promotion, but the doctor was not in so I couldn't get it. I ended up getting Dysport the Tuesday after I got home. I'll do another review on that. I love the results! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi congrats they look great! Where did you fly in from? How long did you stay in Miami? Where did you stay? Did you go by yourself? Sorry so many questions lol...I am in the process of working it out to have my surgery with him also. :)

I flew to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday 8/12, surgery was on Thurs 8/14, follow-up on Friday 8/15 and I flew home on Sunday 8/17. I went by myself...my boyfriend flew in on Friday 8/15 because his grandmother died, but we flew home together. I recommend you have someone to fly back with if possible because you can't lift much weight. I paid a nurse $40 to bring me to the hotel after surgery. I was fine. Very little pain, just very sore and tight...no bruising at all. I never go on vacation so I wanted to stay at a really nice place with room service and a nice pool lol...I stayed at the EPIC Miami (not the cheapest place at all!), which was 10 minutes from coral gables so can rides were less than $20 each way. I met a really nice cab guy my first day so I told him about my surgery and he have me his card and he was my personal cabbie lol...he brought me back and forth to my appointments and that made me more comfortable because I didn't know how I was going to feel. In reality I felt great but I was thinking I was going to be in so much pain. I really wasn't at all. And my implants are huge so I expected the worst, it just depends on the person because I kept seeing girls being very dramatic and in so much pain, it scared me! I was perfectly fine, dressed to impress and smiling 1 day post-op lol

Wow, really?! That's scary just to read lol. I have to have a breast lift, and then augmentation, so I wonder about the pain. I have such a low tolerance for it. My coordinator is Norma. She told me I need to stay a full week. I can only imagine our extremely expensive that is going to be, and I don't have anyone to go with me, so I don't know what to do as of right now. I am thinking of making this a Christmas present to myself, so I have some time to think. Well good luck to you and I'm so glad you are yet another person to have great results from Dr. Freiman :)

I think you will be fine. I'm sure a week is smart since you're having a lift too. Just tell your coordinator that you will be alone and they will help you with after-care. Idk where you are from, but BA here in Massachusetts is at least $7000-8000 so I feel like I got a great deal. If I picked a cheaper hotel I could've done the whole thing for about $4000 but I spent $5000, including flights for me and my boyfriend, hotel, surgery, meals...I wanted a 5 star experience so I just decided to stay at an amazing hotel. I wish you the best!! Let me know if you have any other questions! I know I used this site like crazy before my surgery lol
August 26, 2014
Thanks sweetie! Lol me too! I have emailed like twenty people haha. I live in DC, and it's about 6-8000 here too. And to add a lift to that, oh we're talking double! I want five star too, so I've just got to keep saving lol! Thanks for all your advice! Have a great rest of your day :)
