WORTH IT$5,500
Hi Girls,
So I decided to start my review after a long time of learning from all the nice people on this site.
I am a mother of two awesome kids. I am 31 years old, 133lb and almost 5'1". I have had large breast for my body since I was 13. I am 32F in bra size now and I was a 34H while I was nursing.
I consider having BR/BL since I was 21 but was adviced to wait until I was done having kids (great advice!).
Now I see that I want/need a little more than just my breast so I decided to go for the full Mommy makeover :)
I have been researching a lot and I found this awesome website!
I was planning to use another doctor that I have keept in contact for the past two years but decided to change to Dr. FG because I need a reliable, clear,consistent communication and Dr. FG has provided all that and on top his work is amazing and natural!!
He and his assistant Karel have been super nice and helpful in all my weird questions.
Girls, I have been so encouraged by so many of your journeys! You might not realized how helpful your reviews are and how every little detail makes a huge difference.
Thank you for sharing with newbies like me :) :) :)-

Surgery for the thought?? The count down begins!!
I got my plane ticket!! I am so excited! :)
It's getting more real! And with reality comes a lot of thinking!
Now I am staring to understand why the other girls say that this journey is a roller coaster!
I go from very excited to a little afraid :( I have never have surgery before but I am concious that all types of surgery brings risk so I am trying my best to do what I can to reduce those risk ( that includes, being as healthy as I can before, during and after surgery and choosing a good doctor in a good clinic with good patient record that doesn't play superman trying to do too many people the same day which makes me more confortable) and the rest is in God's hands, because He is in control :)
So when I mean afraid, I'm talking about the fear of going through all of this and then end up chubby again :( looking the same way I look now or worse :(
My mom, (which has been super supportive of this) told me that maybe I need to get surgery in my thoughts and in the way I look at myself.
Girls, that hit me hard! Because if after all this that I am about to endure I still see myself the way I do now, it would be very sad and depressing!!
So, I am telling you all this, so you can hold me accountable to my inside out changes! I am officially accepting the challenge of looking at my inner Beauty and changing what needs to be changed so by the time I get my outer change done (which I hope will be awesome) I can have a total transformation :) :)
I'm leaving you with this beautiful passage that I have decided to embrace. I love the way God sees us!
Remeber this girls!!!
" I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well" Psalm 139:14
P.S. I am still excited about my surgery and I think God is too :)-

Im glad you are keeping me posted. This is a huge decision & it helps to have others to get info from. I contacted dr FG. I send photo & info just waiting on a response. Have you found a recovery house ???
October 31, 2014
Hi LilCB,
I am staying with my aunt down there.
But, Karel has great insight in recovery houses and real feedback from recent ladies that have used them.
Ask marek or let me know and I will forward the email wth the info :)
What month are you thinking??

Hi, from your photos you can expect a great result. You have your lovely family and now it is time for you. Ask your PS pages of questions even if they seem odd as this will have both of you on the same page for a great result. It is a marathon and not a sprint, so be prepared to wait for your body to heal and try not to be too critical of yourself. Gather as much physical support you can for the first 2wks, after that you will surprise yourself at how mobile you are. Talk to your PS on how long the surgery for each procedure will be as all of the suggested treatments are very invasive and the recovery time for each will vary greatly. Effectively, my TT was over in 3wks with full activity restored, but then unexpected 'hiccups' occurred (read my review), but I imagine your breast treatments will be more painful and uncomfortable than the TT. The Lipo will have extensive bruising and will make sleeping uncomfortable. I'm not trying to scare you, but give you an indication of the type of questions to ask your PS about your recovery times. At your age, you can expect a fabulous result because your skin is still fairly elastic and will recover quickly. The real secret to any of these procedures is a positive attitude, stay stress free and get excited about it. It really isn't as bad as you are imagining at this stage , (forget the first week - it sucks). Would I do it all again - in a heartbeat, it is life changing and you are going to be so glad you did it and be able to enjoy your family as they grow up.

Imath, Thank you so much for your sweet words of encouragement!!! I did read your review and with all my respect and admiration I can tell that you are an awesome example of encouragement and positive attitude!! Your review impacted me greatly in a good way, and seeing all the things you went through and came out strong and positive makes me raise my standard up :) I love your phrase "this is a marathon and not a sprint" because that totally changes my spirit through this whole process :)
I am taking in all your advices and I still have to touch base with my doctor about what I should expect and how can I prepare for the big day :)
Please keep me posted if you go for round two :)
P.S. the roses are gorgeous!!!!!
November 22, 2014
Hi, I am glad I didn't scare you. Attitude is everything on this journey and the more informed you are, the better you can recognise the various stages that you will experience. You have seen my before photos and if they can make me look great, then you will definitely get the result you want.
Really, this event in your life is more a mental thing than the obvious physical reconstruction. Once you have done the hardest thing, the decision, then ask your PS pages of questions . This ensures that you both know what the result can be expected to achieve. Then, after doing your preparations, it is time to get excited about the big day and look forward to it with confidence and great expectations. When you get closer, I will guide you through the physical and emotional yo-yo that you can expect. It is life changing and so exciting to watch the 'new you' emerge. Stay positive and get excited.

Am excited to see you result and he seem like a great doctor how respect the work ethic , I am really considering him
November 26, 2014
Thank you girl!!! I am excited to bring my sexy back :)- just kidding!! :) I don't think I never had a sexy body but it sounds good when other people say it so I figure I could try :) :) :)-
There is a lot of FG sisters out there and they all loved him and are happy with hi results. Let me know if I can be of any help in your search :) :)
November 26, 2014
Not problem :)
Girl, I saw your pictures and you look really nice!! what do want done this time??
November 27, 2014
I want a tt , lipo bbl to fill in the bottom part of my buttock . I hope is good in the bbl department because I really love his tt:)
November 27, 2014
Ok. I thought you had the bbl with dr. cabral?? maybe i misread. I like dr. FG bbl because they look natural but I believe he goes with the result the patient want. If you see his doctor profile there is a few bbls he did and I liked them :)-

Hi Turquoise, The real secret to this marathon is a positive attitude, it really helps. As far as having the surgery, the first rule is to make sure your PS knows your expectations and then trust the professionals to achieve your result. Don't get nervous after that, get excited as it really isn't as scary as you are now imagining, it is a mind blowing life changing experience. Don't worry about slipping back into old habits afterwards as you will be so in love with the 'new me' that you just won't want to spoil the fabulous body again. Get yourself fit and mentally fit as well as it will help you over the first couple of weeks. go for it with enthusiasm, would I do it again, 'in a heartbeat' it is that a great change.
December 14, 2014
Thank you imath for your words of wisdom and kindness!!
I do need to get fit!
I'm still working out consistently but I am gaining weight and that has me a little down and worried!!
It's so nice to hear your encouragement and advices!!
My mind is starting to get in to this race and I have to remind myself that this is just the beginning to this marathon and that if I start sprinting now I won't be able to finish strong :(
Thank you Imath!! You are a God sent!!
God bless and let us know when you and your wife come to the US for fabric :) :)-
December 15, 2014
Hi, Some of that weight may the new muscle development from your workouts, but don't stress over it. If you are really worried, you have time to talk to your PS or normal Doctor for a particular diet regime. Start to get positive , you know what to expect from the procedure, your PS also knows your expected outcome, so start to look forward to making your preparations and getting your support also enthused, it really helps. Learn to relax and start getting regular exercise and by the time you are ready for the start line your preparation will pay off big time.
December 15, 2014
Yes, I need to start getting excited and not anxious because all this anxiety has me eating more than I should and I am not able to keep up my workouts to compensate my food intake :( :(
I need to to get this mind and body for my new changes!!! :)
Thank you Imath!!!!
