hey! So at the end the special was only for the mini tummy tuck. So i was quoted 4500 because i need an extended tummy tuck because a full wont do the job. Im looking for a second opinion because ive done some research and with a full tummy tuck lipo of the flanks i would be good. So I'm changing doctors.
May 19, 2015
which doctor are you changing to I know with Dr Ghurani hes there to was charging 3500 and that was a full tummy tuck ?

At first i was going to ortega for the special but he is only doing the special for mini tummy tucks only. So I decided to go see Rami because he was having the special for full tummy tuck including lipo, rami was the one i needed a extended tummy tuck and not full. He quoted me at 4500. I've been to other doctors and they all have suggested full tummy tuck. So i guess I'll continue my search until i find the right one! What have you done?

Hello, So you are no longer doing it with Dr. Ortega? Did you send pictures and give you an estimate and then saw you in person and gave you a different estimate?

Yes, you are right I've decided just to stay with Dr. Ortega I mean I have everything ready and am hoping for the best. Everyone heals different and he has more positive reviews than negative. Thanks for the support girly! Good luck to you

Here's a picture of what i look like now! I'm 170lbs i need to get to 160lbs for surgery. I'm 5"4 24yrs old and i have 3 kids. I will be getting a extended tummy tuck (from hip to hip) and a little bit of lipo. He doesn't want to do much lipo because he doesn't want to compromise the blood supply since I'm getting a extended TT the incision is usually longer. I'm totally okay with that.
