I am a mommy of two I had them back to back (2012 & 2013) and had my gallbladder removed in between pregnancies. I also had the e/hell I mean essure done and removed that this year with my fallopian tubes. So I have a few little scars on my belly and my belly button is not cute to me anymore.

I will be traveling to Miami from New York and have to consider the overall cost of the whole mommy makeover package and price. I've been debating about which procedure I should do. I currently have the bbl, tummy tuck and breast augmentation ($15,995) There's so much happening in my life that I have to be aware of the overall cost and cut down a procedure. So I've been debating on getting either the tummy tuck and bbl ($13,195) or the breast augmentation and bbl ($11,700). I just checked on his Instagram and the prices went up since I made an appointment August 2015. Can you tell I've been patiently waiting lol ugh so now if the prices changed idk I will most likely stay with the original procedure.

But if the prices is what I mentioned then I'm wondering if the bbl and breast augmentation is enough? The bbl includes liposuction of the stomach, back and flanks. Would my stomach be flat enough to wear dresses and not see a pudge anymore. I'm also worried of how am I going to sleep if I have a tummy tuck and bbl? I usually sleep on my stomach even when I was pregnant and had my tubes removed.

I don't mind the stretch marks and a lil extra skin. I can also get a tummy tuck a few years later in New York instead of traveling so far. I also know that I can easily put on a push up bra and won't need the breast augmentation.

Decisions, decisions!

Hi! I just did my tummy tuck and bbl with dr Miami. I slept on my boppy in a recliner for the first week until the drains were taken out. I don't regret doing these two procedures at the same time. It's hard and painful the first two weeks but it's well worth it. I hated my belly button too. It was done by a previous surgeon that did my first tummy tuck 7 years ago ( I did breast implants and tt).
I would tell you if your budget is to do two procedures its the tummy tuck and bbl.

Good luck!

The waiting list is a big problem with dr.miami but some seem to get dates sooner ?

When I consider the cost of food, hotel for three weeks and the cost of flight I'm looking at about 17,000 and idk if that's worth it. I'm also seeing bad reviews on dr. Miami and now I'm second guessing my decision with him.

I could of gotten as early as February but I have Summer's off which gives me time to recuperate :) another reason could be of people deciding he may not be worth the wait anymore. I'm looking into consultations with Nyc doctors and santo Domingo doctors.

Hey you had essure and removed it this time cutting the tubes was this through insurance or privately? As I want to remove mine but my OBGYN doesn't want to think it's causing problems with my body. I too booked with Dr Miami but I want to do the removal before going to him. Good luck

So I'm still getting quotes from different doctors and I would like to stay in the New York area that way I don't have to pay for a hotel and flight. While I'm shopping around the before and after pictures from some of the doctors are not what I want. It makes me feel like I should just stay with Dr. Miami. I'll continue on my search but I would love to have surgery soon. I keep looking at all the pictures I have to send to doctors and I look horrible :(
