Tummy Tuck, Lipo to the Flanks and Breast Augmentation for $7350 - New York, NY

Hello everyone I'm new to the site and have decided to document my journey with you all. I appreciate all of the women who have bravely posted of the highs and lows of surgery and hope to pass on the same encouragement that I have received from this site. I am a mother of 3 children ages 12, 10 and 2 and have wanted a bigger bust since I was a teen. I have actually come very close to a 34C when I was breast feeding. But alas when that stopped, the boobs went as well. I am posting some before pics which include my C-section scar from my last child. I also have some scars from having my tubes tied and not taking care of the scars afterward. In hind sight, I was depressed from alot of weight gain from that pregnancy. I am now down to 138 pounds, a mere 8 pounds away from my goal weight of 130. It's very hard though as my body is craving sugar, bread and wine lol. I go in tomorrow to see my doctor for my blood tests and hopefully that will go well. After that I should have the green light for my surgery date of 07/30/2013.

Hello all, I have received a few questions regarding how I went about choosing my doctor and most importantly, how did I get quoted such a great price. I actually have been doing some research for well over a year. I have come across many blogs, websites, and youtube pages devoted to getting affordable plastic surgery. I was not comfortable in going out of the country and I knew financially I wouldn't be able to afford anything over $10k.
I checked out one particular site and here's the link:

This site detailed how an individual could get plastic surgery done in NYC at one of the areas plastic surgery clinics. For example in Manhattan, one could make an appointment at Lenox Hill. The telephone number is (212) 605-3741. Harlem Hospital also has a surgery clinic. The telephone number is (212) 939-8212. There are also several hospitals in the Bronx such as Jacobi hospital amongst others.

Your best bet is to contact whatever hospital which you are drawn to and inquire about their plastic surgery department. Usually when you make your appointment, you meet with a resident to go over what procedures your interested in. In my case, I made an appointment with Lenox Hill and Harlem hospital due to proximity. Lenox HIll quoted me a price of about $6K for my breast implant surgery only. Additional procedures would be an additional $2k. This price included my anesthesia and overnight stay at the hospital with a nurse.

I will answer any additional questions just inbox me and I will answer them as soon as I can. My 2 year old catches a tantrum when I get online. He feels like I'm ignoring him :)

I also posted new pics of my compression garments which cost about $190. I went to the dyckman location in upper Mnahattan. The women were very friendly and knowledgeable about what garments would work best.

I will definitely keep posting. Thanks for all of your support!

I'm sitting here in my bed with my list of must haves for surgery. I am soooo nervous. I do not know what to expect. In addition, I'm afraid of what type of pain awaits me. Sigh it's too late to back out now. So I will have to be brave about this and forge ahead.

Weight: 135-136 pounds
