Finding a Different Way - Perth, AU

So whilst I don't have a lot of loose skin, I also don't have much of a bust anymore, barely filling a B cup anymore. I decided to investigate having a breast lift/breast augmentation (BL/BA) back in Feb/March 2016, after watching Beauty and the Beach on TV.

I started researching Perth based Australian Plastic Surgeons, however as I don't qualify for a Medicare rebate (don't have a child under the age of 7, don't have rashes or infections, etc.), and the fact that I want implants means my medical insurance won't cover me either, and a price tag of around $20K, meant Australia was not an option. So I started looking at Thailand for surgeons.

I found Destination Beauty, filled in the query form and got an email back almost straight away from my consultant called Mary. I had to fill in a form with all my info, medical history, and what procedure I wanted, and had to attach photos. Off went all the information and about two days later my first quote came back, roughly $8,300, not including flights or fly back insurance. What it did include was airport/hospital transfers, Surgeon's costs, anaethetist costs, 3 night hospital stay and 8 nights (incl breakfast) in a 4 star hotel, visits from the nurse every second day and afternoon tea get together's with others having procedures who are also staying in the hotel on a Tuesday and Thursday. Quite impressive, when you think in Australia I will be lucky to even stay one night in a hospital if at all!

I did get a quote from another company that is run by a lady who lives in Rockingham and who has also had the sleeve, but it did come out a bit more expensive.

I attended a seminar run by Destination Beauty in Perth and got to meet my surgeon, Mr Kasemsak. They took more photos and then we listened to the talk, and got to hear from one of their patients about their experience. I was sold, and quite happy to now pay my deposit and start planning for the new me.

Fast forward to July 2016 and now I am thinking I might add a tummy tuck to my procedure, which is called a Mummy Makeover, to save having to pay all over again at a later stage. Like I said I don't have a lot of loose skin, however when I bend over it does hang and looks horrible..... but who is going to see me bending over naked right??? Meeeeee and of course hubby.... not a good look. I know he loves me regardless of what I look like, but for my own self esteem he said I could do it.

So another lot of photos and off the email goes to Destination Beauty. Yes, I can have a mini tummy tuck along with my BL/BA, or Mummy Makeover as it is called, and all for just another $4k.

So along with flights, fly back insurance and the cost of the Mummy Makeover, all up around the $15K mark. Thank goodness for tax returns :)

I also attended another seminar in Perth earlier this month and saw my surgeon again, just to make sure that my expectations for my tummy tuck will be achieved. After seeing him and discussing it I am very confident that I am going to be extremely happy with the outcome.

So I am booked in for 3rd October to have my surgery. We fly out of Perth on Sunday 2nd October.

Below are some photos of the hotel we get to stay in whilst we recover. Looks awesome!

Only 200g to target weight!
Hubby can't believe how much clothes shopping I HAVE to do :)
