Tummy Tuck Scheduled for Jan. 3rd. W Dr Hochstein in Miami

When I went to see Dr. H, I saw all the pics of the [RS bleep] models he's done work on and thought his prices would be even higher than what I was quoted in Chicago. Much to my surprise he was a couple thousand less! I figure if you are going to do a TT,.do it in the land of the beautiful where they expect to prance around in bikinis. you

I couldn't agree more! The drs where I live don't care about bikinis so much. Did he do your breasts? I'm just curious to know more about your travel plans...how long you will stay before you go back home? Are you traveling with someone?

Here's a long story about my boobs. I had my boobs done about 10 years ago - Best decision I ever made. Changed my life. I did it with a different Plastic Surgeon here in Chicago- Dr. Horn. I did Saline implants under muscle. They put them in through my underarms and the incision with in the natural crease. (more on that in a minute) I thought I was done having kids etc... Fast forward to six or seven years later, I had another baby. A couple of months after I had my son I noticed one of my boobs was drooping a bit, then it was progressively getting smaller and smaller. One of my implants had ruptured and I had a slow leak. When you get implants they come with a 10 year insurance but they also tell you it's likely you will have to replace them after 10 years. Well I wasn't at the 10 year mark yet so I went back to Dr. Horn to fix them but he was going to charge me the same amount as he did the first time. At this point silicone was deemed safe and I wanted to replace them both with silicone. He said he'd only fix the one boob and it was still going to cost me about $4,000. I ended up going to another PS one of my friends used - Dr. Placik who told me the reason why I had the rupture was because the method the used to insert it caused way to much trama to the implant and it compromises the implant He suggested I replace both of my implants with silicone and go in through the nipple. I went just a little larger and he contacted he original manufacturer to my ruptured implants and they gave me like$1,000-$1,500 (don't quite remember) to apply towards my surgery because of the insurance. I was very happy with the outcome and again, my scars are totally invisible so that's why I know genetically, I heal very well from surgery and I'm hoping my TT scar will fade to almost nothing in time. If you are going o have a boob job, go to Dr. H. He did my sisters boobs and they look even better than mine. He is probably the best in the country at doing boobs. I've done my research. I hope he's as good at the TT. Before going to Dr. H I met with Dr. Placik because I love him and trust him but he didn't seem 100% sure I had enough skin to get rid of all my stretch marks. He said he didn't want to make the TT so tight that it put too much pressure on the incision and affected the healing. Dr. Hochstein in Miami told me he was certain he could get rid of all of them and that I'd have an amazing result. He explained to me all the different layers of skin and show'd me images of other women with the same body type as me and his confidence and past work sold me on the fact that he was the person to take on he job. I was sold on him.

Good info, thank you! I'm just curious how long you plan to stick around after your surgery before returning home? I was under the impression that I should plan to stay a week after surgery.
