I am 33 years old (going on 34 in July) and I have been contemplating surgery after having my twins which are now 2 (will turn 3 in July too!) I am posting my journey, whether I go through with it or not. Id like to get some opinions because its been hard for me to make a final decision (and my surgery has been booked for June 19th 2012).
I am 5'7" and before my pregnancy I weigh 160lb and went up to 195lbs! Since I was basically starving during my pregnancy (could only hold down watermelon, water and flavored icees) I went down to 140. I have been able to maintain my weigh at 143 but I hate how my stomach looks, butt, breast, hips, GOSH I am a hot mess! It doesn't help that I also have a squared shape so nothing ever looks nice.
I guess this would be my birthday present. The most expensive present ever!!! lol
I have been looking around NY area but I am not impressed by the results and the prices are ridiculous! Maybe I am looking in the wrong place? The only doctor that has many impressive pictures is DR. A. but my biggest problem is that I havent met him. I will have a phone conference with him tomorrow though. I hope he impresses me. He says I can get all of these procedures done but I am scared! For someone who has been doing this for 23 yrs and has great pictures, I dont see many reviews and he is not board certified since 1999 but has no records of malpractice. Is this strange???
I have a lot riding on this since I will be traveling from New York to Florida and staying for a month. My parents, husband and kiddies are coming along. I am scared of the distance. We are planning on stopping but its a tough one! And driving back!!!! I dont know if I will be well to sit for such a long time! Help!

I honestly don't know how someone can recover from all those procedures at once. Not sure how you're supposed to lie down! But people do it, so there must be a way.
I don't know who Dr. A. is, but folks who go to board certified doctors are statistically more happy with their results than people who go to surgeons who are not board certified.
Thank you for sharing your photos and starting your story. Looking forward to reading more about your journey.

Hi Angiemcc, I didn't know if I could post the doctors name. His name is Dr Daniel azurin and I finally spoke to him over the phone for a short 30 minutes, which isn't enough for me. He says he will receive his certificate by July.
May 4, 2012
Dr. Azurin is amazing!!! I was told he would be updating his certification as well. That's when I will book my surgery. I'm willing to wait although dr.salama is great with bbl, Dr. A does way better tummy tucks. I'm from NY and had the chance to meet Dr.A , my stay will be a month as well but traveling by plan is really the way to go!!!!

How scars are dope! They heal very well and are pencil thin. I love his boob work amazing! Check out Momof2nfl she put up a few pics but didn't post anymore. I tried contacting her, but no reply to she how she was coming along.
Dr. Salama started getting real popular last year, he's a new doctor and has done some nice work. Lately a few women have been complaining though. He also doesn't carry any malpractice insurance so I said ehhhhh I'll pass. I'm not comfy with that at all, not too mention you have to wait so long I'm trying to do what I need to do this summer and be done with it. But Azurin was cool and I stayed at a nice place not far when I had my consult. I just wanna do the Lipo and lift right now, but I would like to do my full abs and he doesn't do that. Ima see if I can talk him into it! Hahaha if not Sterry it is

I finally spoke to my PS and he really emphasized how hard it is to recover from so many procedures but he has also done it many times. He seems down to earth and not money hungry. I asked him a few personal questions "what has been your best experience and your worst?" his answers were humble and direct. I still feel like I need to personally see him. What's my problem? I can't make up my mind...
May 4, 2012
I just checked and it seems that it expired. U didn't know that, but I went to him last year for consult. As for your procedures, I think that's just tooooo much to do @ once imo. How will you lay? You can't lay on you back b/c of you BBL. You can't lay on your stomach b/c of you TT and BA. I understand about wanting to get it done and out of the way, but how about if you just do 1 or 2 things then go back for the rest? This is a big decision and I don't think anyone should put theirbody through too much at one time. Some ppl do however, but that's just my opinion you know...good luck on your decision :)
I'm glad you posted this because there is only 1 other review for Dr. Azurin on here. Momof2nfl posted her TT pics but never came back on. I would really like to know how she's doing because she looked great! If you feel more comfy then just wait a bit especially since he's waiting on his renewal you know...either way I wish you the best :)

Hi all. Talk about obsessed! 1am and I am still up...
Hi all. Talk about obsessed! 1am and I am still up. I spoke to Dr. Azurin on Monday for a brief 30 minutes. Although he answered a few of my questions, its not the same as a face to face consultation, which I havent had with anyone! Call me crazy! yes I am! I know it too! Why so many exclamations...I am in need of enlightenment. Lord please help. If this is meant to be than show me the way bc I am trying to convince myself that I am just over analyzing things but this is my life we are talking about here. I made an appointment with Dr. Yager even though his pictures are not that impressive to me. I guess I can see what he says. Wont hurt.
Back to my phone conversation with Dr. A He sounded very normal. Didnt push me to make any decision. I wish he did. His first comment was "You do know how much pain your going to be in if you decide on all these procedures" He says he has done it a whole lot of times but its all in how I will be taken care of and how long ill be in Florida to recover. Since I'm planning on renting a house for a month, he says thats really good idea. Should I be concerned that his application or papers for ABPS will be handed to him in July, after the fact?
CAN I MAKE A BIG DECISION BASED ON PICTURES? like over 200 pictures for every procedure that I am planning on getting? check it out www.breastandbreasts.com let me know what you think. Thank you all for your input! I really appreciated it..I really dont have someone to talk to. My husband is on board 100% but I dont talk about my inner feelings about this yuck body.

Hello, I've actually had a consult with him and he was very nice to me personally. I just haven't decided what I will do yet tho however LOL...I do believe in meeting him though beforehand so you can get a feel for him and take a look around for yourself. I would definitely just go into see him and the consult is free also. May I ask what type of certificate you are referring to? As far as I know he is infact board certified in plastics.

Are you having the surgery in NY and then traveling to Florida soon after or vice versa? We drove from Pa to Florida a couple years ago and I'm telling you NO WAY would I have all of that done and try to make that trip stops or no stops. I'm just trying to imagine you turning around in the seat to give the little ones something...NO! I wouldn't do the butt thing and then sit that long because of how it might disperse the work you have done there. I'd do the whole breast job and even then you won't be turning around in your seat (being honest) but save the tummy and butt for when you don't have to travel any farther than back and forth to the doctor for post op visits..You won't be able to help drive much either if you have to take pain meds. It's a long trip hon..

Hi mom_me, Im going from ny to florida. But if I gather up the courage to do this than I will be flying back instead of driving. Thank you for your input. I think I read your review lol I am starting to think that its not going to happen for me...I am hating the idea of being in a car, making a few stops to rest and drive at night. Why cant I simply find a great doctor in NY! Why must they post not so perfect boobs, crocked belly buttons, and not so smooth bottoms!
May 4, 2012
Dr Sterry is in Manhattan and his work is awesome! I'm actually going to see him this summer...lol its hard finding a good doc trust me I've been researching for 2 yrs. I wanna go to a surgeon who is good at EVERYTHING!!! Haha I feel you girl...I will PM you! We gon get this together! Lol

Thats really cool you found a doctor in NYC, cause lord knows I felt like I was looking for a four leaf clover..lol. His work looks good if you did want to travel. I'm getting my boobs done in NYC with Dr, Donald Roland( reduction /Lift) than i'm going to Florida 6-7 months later.

Girl who you telling?!??! Hahhaha nyc is not the place for certain things, people usually travel for their BBL'S. Another thing is the price, but if I really like the surgeon the cost shouldn't be a factor you know. Now Dr. Sterry is great with Lipo and breasts and his TT's are okay also. Dr. Azurin is dope tho! He does everything great imo but he just doesn't do full abs for Lipo and that's what I'm looking to do. He is the boon man and his TT's are good too. Hes an all around doctor, whereas some are just good at certain things. He's just not aggresive with his Lipo which that's his preference and he doesn't reccommend it b/c of the irregularites and lumps and bumps that can occur. I can understand that, cuz many times patients can ask for one thing and then are not realistic then they get upset when the outcome is not what they wanted. He was very cool down to earth and laid back. He didn't try and push you into anything, he gave his opinion and he left it at that. I tell you one thing, he had people in and out of his office but it was never crowded at all. Not too mention his phones were ringing off the hook! A lot of his clients are real private also and he's like a word of mouth doctor also. He doesn't advertise either. I like him :)
I have to check your boob out haven't heard of him...

Well I had full TT with repair, and BL and BA. no lipo.. so ??? I guess I would say go ahead but the bum and Tummy at the same time might be just harder to deal with during recovery.. BUT I DONT KNOW....
