Mommy makeover by an amazing Surgeon

WORTH IT$8,500
I’ve looked into the mommy makeover procedure for some time now but only recently had the means to actually make it happen. Initially I was considering doctors in Los Angeles as I’m familiar and comfortable with California. However I decided to try a new city as I’d never been to Miami and wanted to explore the city prior to to my surgeries.
I chose Pure Plastic Surgery, Dr.Alexander Earle based on the past few months of research; his education and credentials, realself reviews, clinic before and after photos and lastly price.
I feel the most important decision should be on the surgeons capabilities and experience, and not to let cost drive your decision. The cost was an added bonus as it would’ve been 3-4 times the amount had I chose to have the surgeries in Canada.
I had excellent experiences with my surgical coordinator, pre/post op nurse, anesthesiologist, surgical team and of course the man himself, Dr.Earle.
I felt this clinic was small and personal, exactly what I wanted- one on one attention. The amount of paperwork, labs, and pre op documents you need proves that Pure Plastic Surgery is committed to the health and well being of their patients.
I wouldn’t want to feel rushed through a surgery as if I were in line up at a mill. This surgery, as any has its risks and you need to feel confident in your choice of clinics and Plastic Surgeon.
I am not yet 2 weeks post op but I feel fantastic, I’m pleasantly shocked at the changes of my body.
I found the first 3 days the most difficult, day 1 & 2 being the worst for pain. But if you stay on top of your medication given (set alarms on your phone to take pain medication as directed every 4-6 hours), it is much easier to manage the pain rather then let it get away on you.The biggest healing comes from sleep/rest so be sure to bring along a supportive friend or partner that can assist you in whichever way needed.
Having all of my post op necessities was so important to plan for, as I knew I wouldn’t feel like going anywhere for the first few days.
I stayed at the Hampton Inn Dadeland and had a great experience! The clinic is less then 10 minutes away and the Uber cost was around 8.00, it’s also across the street from a Target and other shops and just down the street from Dadeland Mall (amazing shopping).
I have no regrets about getting the mommy makeover with Dr.Earle. I am so pleased with my results, and although painful the rewards outweigh the few days of harder pain.
I feel as mothers we often neglect our own needs and bodies for that matter to cater to everyone around us. This is one makeover that can change everything for you, it’s worth every penny.
Thank you Dr.Earle, you’ve far exceeded my expectations and have made such a positive impact in my life. I feel blessed to have had you apart of my journey.
I know if I decide on any additional plastic surgery that without a doubt, you’re my Doctor.
Miami was a perfect medical-vacation city! We ventured out to Key Largo, had an amazing time at Jimmy Johnson’s Big Chill (restaurant, bar and swimming pool). Also took an Airboat Tour of the Everglades, and got to experience South Beach as well as Hollywood Beach.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to message me ????

Thank you for sharing your mommy makeover journey with the community and your willingness to support others— your review is very helpful. You sounded very prepared, what are some of the recovery supplies that you gathered beforehand? Are you planning on sharing before and progress photos with the community?

Thank you Eva. The supplies list is actually something I prepared for based on other reviews I had read through on this amazing site as well as having gone through other surgeries (medically necessary). Here’s the list: -Large and medium gauze pads, I used band aid brand, I ended up buying about 4 boxes of each. - cloth tape for gauze, you may want to purchase the “sensitive” tape for your breasts as I found the regular tape is extremely itchy. -Gravol for nausea, I was prescribed Zofran and it works well before bed but I found that I was too light headed and dizzy during morning/day time when I used it. The gravol is to help settle your stomach when you’re taking narcotics for pain management. -Tylenol because you cannot take any NSAIDS due to it thinning the blood. -Visine eye drops, my eyes become very dry after anesthesia. Not exactly sure why that is or if it’s just me. -Dry shampoo, because even though you are able to shower 24 hours later, I didn’t really feel up to washing my hair every time I showered. - I purchased a shower curtain to use on the hotel bed because I thought there would be a lot of blood loss. However I ended up just using a large towel instead. -Purchasing a case of bottled water, so you don’t have to lift it after. -Salted crackers and a ginger ale! It was the best because I would eat a few crackers and have some ginger ale when I took my pain medication, really helped to keep my stomach settled. Also the first day after surgery you need to stay with clear fluids, chicken broth, apple juice and jello. I also purchased lunchables and granola bars to keep in my fridge, I didn’t feel like going out for dinner and I didn’t always want to order food in. -Tummy control garment from Target, I found it in the maternity section. It’s basically a spandex compression garment that fits nice and snug and is more comfortable then the wraps given. I wear mine at night time and I find I can sleep easier in it. -Stool softener pills & suppositories, The narcotics cause you constipation and also surgery can disrupt your normal bowel routine so having both of these handy was ideal. If you’ve ever had a c-section, or even natural birth (I’ve experienced both) the very first bowel movement can be scary and painful, I found the tummy tuck to feel similar. -Slip on shoes -Nude coloured compression socks, I purchased mine from amazon. - Comfy zip up sweater and sweat pants, nothing too constricting to your breasts or stomach. - Cotton or Lycra bralette, I found this was more comfortable to sleep in. I will share photos soon

Hi Eva, sounds great. Thank you for sharing. What exactly did you have done? What was the cost?
June 19, 2019
Breast lift with implant 485cc
Tummy tuck, muscle plication and lipo on flanks.
I believe it was 8,300. I’d have to look back. Totally and completely worth it. Love my results
