37 Mother of 3 Breast Lift and Arm lift (brachioplasty)

On January 19th I decided to go back to Jolie's Plastic Surgery for a Tummy Tuck. Margaret convinced me to stay with my same doctor and to be honest I loved my previous results from Dr. Thomas Pane. The facility was slightly more organized then before but there were issues. I waited 4 hours for pre-op. Due to previous experience i expected these issues. Dr. Pane was a delight he went over what he would be doing and the areas he would lipo and explained the after care. Surgery lasted around 3 hours and i came to my post-op the next day. That appointment took 2 hours. I was given another day to come back to get my drains replaced. Due to the situation of me still producing over 25cc in a 24 hour time frame i couldn't get them removed. I contacted my massage therapist in my hometown and she stated she was certified to remove the tubes as well as start my lymphatic drainage massages. That saved me on car rental, flight change fees, and hotel fees. All in all I feel the Jolie's require patience and represent all the doctor's poorly. I can't think of another Surgery I would receive but i definitely satisfy with my doctor Thomas Pane....

On July 28, 2020 I had a Arm lift and breast lift done by Dr. Thomas Payne at Jolie's in Miami Florida. The facility was VERY UNORGANIZED!! Almost made me afraid to even get the surgery. I had to take 3 Covid-19 test. They did not inform me until the last minute about the test when i was leaving to travel down to Florida. ( took a test at the CVS but the results took a week to come in) Then i was told i could take the test at the facility in which I did and had to pay for it. The day of my surgery I had to take another test (#3) because my name wasn't posted on the second test. So 3 test!!! Going back I arrived at the Jolie Plastic Surgery around 11am and did not leave until 5pm. I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork, took the Covid-19 test and was weighed. For just that 6 hrs!!! The next day was my surgery I arrived and didn't have to wait that long. Meet doctor Payne he took pictures and marked on my body. He explained what he would be doing and asked if i had any questions. Next I was heading to surgery. When I woke up I was heading out the back door to my ride. It was around 7pm. I was told to stay for 10 days but was informed to come in the next day in which they removed the wraps off my arms and breast. I did not have to come back after the next day so i booked to stay there longer for no reason. All and all my experience with the center was horrible but the doctor and my scheduler Margaret was amazing. I did schedule for a tummy tuck January 19, 2021. Margaret is amazing and she helped me with everything. My Coordinator was horrible and unorganized. She's the one that informed me last minute about everything as if she wasn't aware of the world wide pandemic. I wasn't able to get in the doctors office as if it was making a normal appointment.

I have been researching doctors to do my mommy makeover...TT and Breast Reduction W/Lift. I have looked at work from Dr. Goldmen (in my home city Cleveland, Ohio), Dr. Fisher (in Miami) and Dr. Calvas (Miami). I went for a consultation with Dr. Goldmen great guy great personality. He quoted me 10,300 for my breast lift and 10,600 for my TT. I was devastated..lol I had already been speaking with Anna from Jolies Plastic Surgery a few weeks before my consultation in which she gave me a $7000 quote for Fisher but never called me back too follow up. In the meantime i became obsessed with Fisher work. He has great reviews. I was following a few ladies experience and was introduced to Mayda Recovery Home. She has been A COMPLETE blessing. Due to my Bmi being over 34 I was told Fisher wouldn't be able to do it. I was given other doctor's name and Mayda told me to go with someone else not the doctors that were given to me..lol i trusted her because i knew she has seen many doctor's work before. I'm currently 220 pounds and 5"2. I needed to get to 185. 3-4 years ago I weighted 290 pounds I went down to 188 and became pregnant. I've also had 3 c-sections, gastric bypass, and fibroid removed. My son just turned 1 in May. Unfortunately, I have been stuck at 220-225 for a year. I planned on losing the weight before my procedure. So when Anna told me 185 to see Fisher I said YES ...I GOT THIS!!! My world crashed when she said he doesn't accept care credit. Soooooo back to the drawing board. She sent me DR. Calvas. I took about a week to research him. For the procedure I was having he seemed to do good work. I did come across a death on him. It was for a BBL in which I read up on and it is one of the most risky procedures. I called Mayda and asked about him she said he does great work. I called Anna back and paid my $500. I'm beyond excited. I will be staying in the recovery home for 9 days. Anna told me I only needed 7 but Mayda disagreed. She said I needed more time to heal from the two procedures and wanted me to be okay. She charged me $1370. She picks me up and drop me off at the airport, take me to all appointments, feed me, and give me massages. I'm looking to book my procedure in October. I'm just trying to figure out what's best for my family. In the meantime i bought a treadmill and have a personal trainer. Time to drop this weight!! I will continue to post progress if there is any advance I'm willing to listen.
