I have been going back and forth on whether to get my boobs done in Toronto or travel to Miami to get them done. I have had some fears about going out of the country to get them done. I knew that if I were to get them done any where else it would be Florida. They pump out those breasts! I had my eye on Dr. Freiman and Dr. Ortega for a while now. I did read that article on the female who was in a coma which threw me off HUGE. I did find out that I had an acquaintance here who had them done at the clinic and she is really happy so I decided to look into it again.

I contacted the clinic and Yadira contacted me and has been in correspondence with me. After numerous emails and an over the phone conversation, I've decided I'm 99.9% ready to go with Dr. Freiman.

I was going to go with a friend, but after speaking to some of the nurses they provided in the information email, it seems more worth it to go with one of them. Has anyone stayed with the nurses they provided and could you please give me an feedback.

Just waiting to head back from Yadira to book the procedure!

i went to dr. freiman in april 2014. i had a great experience and beautiful results. i traveled from nj to miami with a friend. we rented a car from the airport which was helpful. The office was a pretty hectic place with lots of clients and staff. the sugery was fast and i woke up so excited to finally have my new boobs. dr freiman said it could take upto a year for them to fully settle. my only regret was that i didnt do it sooner:)

Booked my surgery

I've finally booked my surgery which will be January 5. I'm excited, but sometimes have doubts about whether I'm making the right decision or not. I'm also worried about what other people will think, but I just tell myself "it's for you" and who cares what other people will think. Yadira has been nothing but helpful and I keep bombarding her with questions. I guess she's used to people emailing her numerous times as questions come up. I have been doing a ton of research and looking up reviews of ladies that have gone to CGCC and had their BA with Dr. Freiman. This place is amazing and puts me at ease!

My PS has suggested 400cc under the muscle, which will hopefully bring me to a full D. I'm just a but worries because I have such a short torso. Don't want to look any shorter than I already am.

I've also decided that instead of bringing a friend, I will stay with someone down in Miami to care for me. It seems like a better decision financially, and I'm sure my caretaker is well versed in taking care of PS patients.

Hi! Yes, the clinic provided me with a list of caretakers and I opted to go with one of them rather than bringing a friend.

Hi I'm going to dr freeman in January also! Did u send wish pictures to get a CC recommendation from him?

I didn't, I just told him what I wanted to end up as in terms of size. I had a phone consultation and they actually had me go onto the site and look at some gallery photos of what I would end up with (most likely compared to the photos they saw of me). It actually ended up being one of my wish photos!

I'm going to go with Dr. Freiman as well! Which nurse did you pick? I just got their contact info today in an email, so I need to start making calls tomorrow. Have you spoken to the doc yet? And how much are the nurses charging? Sorry for all the questions but I'm in the same boat! Getting nervous!

I ended up with Magda. She just upped her pricing to $100/day and $250 for the day of the surgery. But she's really nice! She's picking up bras for me there since I can't find them here. Her rooms also have a TV and internet which I'll definitely need to Skype with the hubby. Keila charges $130 per day. Maria wasn't available and Izora I never got a quote from. Contact them and get a feel for them. Hope this helps and good luck! Let me know who you end up with.

Oops, also I haven't talked to the doctor yet. Yadira asked me if I wanted to, but I think she covered all my questions at the time. I'll be consulting with him in the early morning and getting the BA at 11am. I wanted the BA as soon as I got there and I feel once I show him what I want as we discuss cc, I'll feel at ease.
December 2, 2014
Thanks for all the info! I'll be calling all the nurses today! How many days will you be staying in Florida after surgery? They recommended 7, but I don't know if I want to stay that long?

Prepping for surgery?

I wish I had booked WAY sooner. I am getting so anxious, but with the holidays coming up, I'm sure time will pass fairly quickly. For those going to surgery soon, or have had surgery, what did you do to prepare? What things have you bought any tips/tricks?

Arnica supplement for bruising swelling; easy to get into clothes; being as physically/good diet is a plus; smooth move tea and constipation meds as the pain meds block you up; lots of water; easy to get to snacks; lots of pillows for after surgery (I took a neck pillow on the plane and used it at my sis' after surgery); comfy post op sports/sleep bras-I wear a 32 and needed a size 38 to be comfy post op because of the swelling-I had to got to Kmart to get the 38 after the surgery because the 36 I bought was too tight. Hang in there!

Hey Iris, thanks for much for the info. I will have a nurse for the time I'm in Miami, so hopefully she ha slots of pillows for me. I should ask her. Thanks for the help on the sports bra. I wasn't sure what size to grab but I've read a couple of stories and most say 38.

Also, did you use the Arnica pills or the gel?

Just pills as I would be careful with gel near incisions. :) Sounds like you are pretty well ready to go.

Pills with bromelein (sp?) that comes from pineapples I believe.

I'm also flying from Canada to Miami but I booked with Dr Ortega. My surgery is in 9 days. I was told to buy a body pillow to wedge myself so I sleep at a 45 degree angle. Also I bought a zipper front bra for right after the surgery. Easier to get on.
