Painful but would do it again tomorrow

Hi brandnewme ..... Yes I love my Tt and bl results. Couldn't have asked for better. My stomach is flat as a board and tight without looking ridiculously sucked in and fake like some pictures I have seen. I love my dr. He is an icon here in NYC. Worth every penny. The saying ' u get what u pay for ' was invented for plastic surgery. :)

Hi girls. Yes I had my entire thigh lipo suctioned 5 days ago. I see the difference but I am very swollen. The pain is there but nothing remotely close to the tummy tuck. The first day my skin looked loose but as the days are going on its looking better and better. There's always a risk of sagging skin which stinks. This is why picking an amazing dr for liposuction is essential. It's all their decision when to stop to avoid that sagging skin.

Asardi, I live in Nassau county too and had a mommy makeover on sept. I couldn't be happier with the results. I used a NYC dr. Dr Alan Matarasso. If u read about him u will be blown away. He's one of the top plastic surgeons in NYC. He's also a nice man, he listens, and doesn't rush you. I actually consulted with dr Shulman as well but in my opinion he was just too young. Another terrific surgeon who sometimes works with Matarasso is dr David Shafer. NYC as well. Look him up. As far as Nassau county dr's the only one I would use is dr Alan gold. He is a perfectionist. I just had full leg lipo w Matarasso this past Wednesday 3/6. I happened to be very informed on plastic surgeons so if u have any questions I would be happy to help. The best advice I got going through all of these surgeries is .... Don't let the price make your decision.

Tnx so much for taking your time , I had actually consulted with dr Schaffer as well ,$ is really not part of my consideration when it comes to choosing a ps I feel nyc is just pricey a few $ here and there won't make it or break it. I will definterly look up dr matarasso and go for consult. My biggest concern when it comes to choosing a dr is honestly I'd like to know what the most probable out come is and obviously don't want the "fake/ps look" besides cridentials and reviews. Can you pls tell me your experience as far as recovery goes .Im a 30 yr ok mother of 4 , 5'6 tall currently weigh about 140 . I gained about 60-70lbs with each pregnancy I lost all about 6 wks post partum still wanna lose 20 more b4 surgery , which is like to book for may. As you can imagine this fluctuation has done a job on my body which is so so depressing I was always a thin fit girl .I work a full time job as an allergist it's actually quit difficult for me to take time off so I'm hopping 10-14 days will be sufficient .Im considering a tt, breast lift with aug as well as lipo of inner putter thigh and flanks , is dr Alan gold in Syosset ? I work there couple days a wk I think I might have seen his name Jericho turnpike maybe ? I can't thank you enough for all the info I'm so so nervous about doing this I have recently had a right knew reconstruction which was very very unpleasant to say the least if you could share your experience as far as recovery etc...would be so helpful

Hello Ria, I am planning to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation to recover my per pregnancies body. I have two children and I am 5'2 and 115 pounds. I used to be 32c now I'm 32a since i breastfed for 2 years. And my belly is not saggy not even stretch marks but when I eat I notice a bulge that bothers me a lot. My primary care physician recommend me Dr Matarasso and Dr Hidalgo both in NYC I saw yesterday Dr Hidalgo he told I just need to fulfill my breast that they are in good shape and for my belly my muscles are a little lose so I need a abdominoplasty. He already gave me an estimate and I would like to know how much does Dr Matarasso would charge for this. Could you please please please let me know how much did you pay? And how is the pain?

Hi, we're you happy with dr Matarraso? Also was it difficult doing the drive into the city post op? I am assuming if there are any issues too you have to go into the city. I am 49 minutes from the city. Thanks!

I know this is a really old post but just came across...
I live in Nassau county thinking of having Lipo in lot of areas.
I like Dr Matarasso but he seems to be above and beyond just the high end $
Do think this sounds normal?
