WORTH IT$20,000
I am looking forward to my procedure. I had saline implants done 12 years ago. I am exchanging them for saline implants, but round and higher profile. Also I am planning to have my nipples reduced and my breasts lifted. I will have a tummy tuck with flank lipo. I will be submitting photos after procedure and documenting as we go.

What lead you to choose dr Hansen? The price seems a bit high for what your having done but I've just started my searches so maybe for Naples that's normal.

I chose Dr. Hasen after meeting with him and his staff, discussing all of my concerns and interests and having a wonderful experience with previous procedures. He has state of the art surgery center and overnight facility, so you do not have to be in a hospital type setting. You have a nurse with you over night plus many other comforts are provided for during your stay. I am having breast implant exchange/revision, breast lift with side lipo, tummy tuck and flank lipo. So, his price is reasonable when you factor all of those procedures together, and it includes all of your aftercare appointments and garments you need as well as anesthesia etc. Hope this helps you in your decision process!

Thanks that is helpful. What other procedures have you had by him prior? Trying to find a good dr to do mommy make over. Definely need someone who is good with scarring and symmetry since I'm a little old about those things. Good luck!

Post Procedure Update to Mommy Makeover
Everything went great! I am home and recovering from my mommy makeover. Everyone at Dr. Hasen's took great care of me. I am having discomfort and soreness but not in pain. I go back Monday for my post op and will update again with pictures. Sorry I don't have more to show. And my pictures loaded sideways... But you get the idea. I will add more pics later this week.
I am happy so far with the results already and I am sure it will improve over the weeks to come. I'm walking around regularly and resting, staying on a regimen of VitaMedica recovery support to help with healing. I really feel great all things considered.

I guess my pics rotated, so yay! You can see the initial look. I will take breast pics later to add. And additional tummy pics from the side when I'm feeling more mobile.

Did you have full tummy tuck? Is that a scar on upper abdomen or just the way the skin is laying??
December 9, 2016
I had a full tummy tuck, that is not scarring, those are just "dimples" from the procedure, to add to the defined look. Down the road I will continue to post pics to see how that is looking.

How are you feeling? Hopefully youre seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt a small sense of normalcy after 2 weeks but the second week was definitely easier. Still try to get as much rest as possible!
December 13, 2016
Having a rough day. Actually headed back to my Dr now. I think fluid has built up again, back pain is unbearable right now despite taking pain meds. So hopefully he can relieve the pain. I need to sleep and I can't! Can't get comfy at all. Stinks !

Day 3 post op
Feeling a tiny bit better. Still total hunchback. Moving around more, having pain more around the lower back and of course lower ab area, but not bad. It's tolerable. Alternating Ibuprofen and Tylenol. Slept much better last night which I think contributed to a better morning. Taking Ambien at night to help with sleep since I am normally a tummy sleeper and obviously cannot do that right now LOL! Couldn't get thru this without my hubby and rest of my family. Going to try to actually wash and dry my hair today, then I will definitely feel more like myself!

December 9, 2016
Yes we are! It's such an uncomfortable feeling, like the skin will rip YIKES! When do you go back for your post op?
December 9, 2016
First post op was the day after surgery. It went well. She showed my friend how to change padding and garments. I just showered and that went well. But not fun at all to put garment back on. It's so super tight fitting that my friend was pulling and tugging. Felt like I was pulling my tummy apart. Ouch. Hope it's ok cause I don't go back till Wednesday the 13 How's your garments working out for you? -and your pain level?
December 9, 2016
Yes hubby are amazing right now through this!! I seriously wish i could give him the world lol the back pain goes away as you start to stand up straighter!! Until then just take it easy
December 10, 2016
Pain right now is a bit much in the lower back. I have a wrap around binder so it's much easier to use. Monday the 12th I see Dr. The garment you're wearing sounds painful, poor thing!!!!
December 10, 2016
How does your tummy garment feel? Mine is squeezing my rib cage so tight it's uncomfortable.
December 11, 2016
My garment is not bad, it's velcro adjustable, but I'm short in the waist so it's either up into my boobs or down into my hips, poking some of the incision areas. I keep gauze cushioning a bit of the edges. But it isn't bad.
How are you feeling today? My back is still KILLING me.

December 11, 2016
I'm still super tight on my whole front side. My garment has eye hooks and zips up both thighs. All the way up to under my boobs. I just unhooked the top hooks so I can breath a bit better. Velcro sounds way better. Do you have drains?
December 11, 2016
No drains! Was so worried I would have them, but I didn't need them, so I was super happy about that. I'm moving better today, still like an old lady but slightly more upright. Always better in AM and feel lousy by end of day.
December 11, 2016
Oh your very lucky. My dr said I might not need them but she'll just see what happens when she gets in there. And I woke up with them. Yuck. But I don't think I've ever drained much at all so hopefully they'll come out on my appt Wednesday! I also feel a little better today in general. But each time I get up from a sitting position my tummy feels super heavy for a minute till I get used to it.
