I went on a consultation with Dr. Norman Morrison at Harlem Hospital for Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck. He made me feel validated, rest assured, and the most comfortable, and rest assured of all doctors. In the end a lift wasn't needed and I was just quoted for BA Areolar Reduction, and Mod. Mini TT. .

So exciting! I'm glad you found a doctor you are comfortable with. Did he say how the TT will affect your tattoo?

I hope you'll keep us posted throughout your journey!

He says just the bottom will be removed - that's barely any skin since it's a mini tuck. I can sacrifice :)

Well, since I was told a lift wasn't needed so I'm leaning towards a natural result no matter how "flat" I get out of it lol :) I am now choosing an Areola Reduction without augmentation and the Mod. Mini Tuck stays the same! Glad I'm getting all of the jitters and spontaneous decision changes out of the way now so when I see my Doctor next week I can be 100% sure on what I want. This is the beginning of a great journey!

See you next week!

Well, it appears that my consultations were as different as the locations with the same doctor. Staff were great, location was great. He drew my scar for a "mini" tummy tuck from hip to hip - which is completely unnecessary (my stomach is super flat, as even he said it, and not much skin removal was required). By the way his markings were very asymmetrical, and also comparing his lines to other patients online, I've noticed his lining to be not as neat as my initial surgeon's. He was completely selling me on the new "gummy bear" cohesive gel implants. I loved them, don't get me wrong! But he didn't let me feel any other implant? Not silicone nor saline, despite my preference for natural saline IF I were to get implants AT ALL! My consult went MUCH better the first time, I don't understand. Anyways I'm going back to my initial doctor in NJ and I will be getting just a tummy tuck with him until I can save enough for his Breast Lift. I can't believe this, yet somehow I expected it. Too good to be true ???? #dissappointed

His new price was 15,000+ for both procedures. I noticed he charged for time, which was total 5 hours for both procedures combined????? I am far from a complicated case - especially for tummy tuck - and was told by all doctors that my specific procedure was to be under an hour! He also had 2 different outpatient hospitals in which he stated they have different fees and at the moment he "only had price information for one of them". I don't like it the more I think about it! At least there were no hidden fees with my first surgeon. Anyways, I will begin another review for current doctor since I will be getting the tummy tuck this month. Can't wait!
