I will not lie. I was really nervous about doing multiple procedures all at once, but Dr. Bruneteau and his staff reassured me that I would do just fine. I am 8 weeks post op and feel great. Went back to work full time after 12 days. My abdomen is like night and day. I can not believe what an amazing job he did. I am also very happy with my breast (not perky again) and my hips/thighs now allow me to wear trendy clothes with more confidence. I owe Dr. Bruneteau and his staff my regained self esteem!!

Pics?! Gotta let us know, you are the real deal chica! lol... Honestly, the pics give your doc the credit he is due from your before and after, and will also let other's know of his expertise and skills and will cause someone to go check him based on what they see....So, hit us up with some pics please...Peace and Blessings

I agree with brownsugar53..pics would be so helpful. Your post op recovery is very encouraging. I want the BL BA and abdominalplasty too at 49 y.o. I feellike I am so scared to go for it . It costs 17,500 in Cleveland Ohio.

Suzy7504 - does the 17,500 include any lipo in Cleveland? Just wondering becuase it is more like 23,000 here in St. louis. I'm going to do it as soon as I can get my finding. 23,000 will get me a BR and Lift, Abdominalpasty, lipo in 5 areas. Without the lipo I think you guys are running about the same price as here.

Thanks for your info. yes it includes lipo of the flanks!!!

Wow! That is a big difference from what I paid in Tampa FL and I love my results. The range here is $9000 to $16k on average. It depends on how popular the doctors become with expensive advertising. My PS office doesn't really advertise and they are always booked. I felt they were the most honest, experienced, and willing to give you a discount if you paid in cash. I paid 9k for my MM. I also see people go to the Dominican republic and pay $6k avg. I would be too nervous that far from home but they seemed to get great results.

It's always great to hear positive recovery stories! It helps to see that other women are facing the same situations! Good luck on your recovery!

I completely agree. I am so glad you shared. I am 53 and thought much too old to redo this bod and should just live with it. Thank you for your post. It's great inspiration
