Very nice results.. but is this price general for all patients? Coz it sounds very cheap compared to other doctors.. Good luck with recovery, waiting for your healing

Hi! I don't know why I'm just now seeing your comment...very weird! Spectrum Aesthetics have different promotions at different times throughout the year! The price will be approximately around the same. I didn't want saline so it was a little higher for me. Miami was the cheapest area! If you want to stay close to home for post-op check-ups and can spend the extra money and find a doctor you want, I'd go that route. I love my results and the surgeon I chose, but a couple times I wish that he was located near me

I did my blood work and had an EKG 2 weeks ago and then last week Monday I had my appointment to start my medical clearance process! All went well and I'm cleared. Since I live in NY, blood work was not included, but i used my own insurance. So far so good! I have my round trip plane ticket all set up and I'm staying with my sister in Hollywood and she'll be taking care of me! I am mostly worried about my healing and possible infections and this stuff I've read about pressure on chest from implants and difficulty breathing due to pressure! I have slight anxiety, so i do get anxious feeling and not in a good way lol Im so behind on even starting this review. I almost decided not to write it but better late than never???? Good luck Dolls!!!!

Ok, I'm in South FL! I went into the office today at Spectrum and made my final payment! Fyi, I had my hubby's credit card and they made me have him text me a picture of his I.D. and i couldnt sign the receipt lol oh well. Also, my prescriptions still needed to be signed so my sister will fill them while I'm having surgery. They gave me an antibiotic, Percocets for pain and anti-nausea pills. I have gauze pads and hand sanitizer wipes. Im bringing socks and house slippers lol I had to buy pillows bc I'm sleeping in a bed and will need to be propped up pretty much into a sitting position so i have a total of 6 pillows ???? I also bought gasX so I wont have an discomfort from that! I got Aloe Vera juice for a healthy drink while I'm healing! Any special foods? Lots of fruits? Veggies? Whole wheat? Protein? I was instructed to wear no make up or jewelry, no deodorant, no lotions or perfumes and to shower with Dial antibacterial soap. No eating or drinking 8-10 hours prior to surgery!! Oh and the important part...my surgery is at 10:30am! Also, the office staff was present and very nice and looked happy! And even though I had my husband's credit card and he wasn't there to sign, Alex, the finacial guy was really nice about it!! I'm so excited and nervous!!! Here are my before pics and I'll update and show new pics as soon as I can after I'm fully awake and able too lol

Excited for you! I will be waiting for your update! I am going there June 27. Do you feel he will take care of you/safe? I am so scared about being put to sleep. How were the waiting rooms? Clean? I dont understand how they schedule surgery that late knowing people are fasting??
