I am 30 yrs old and located in Florida. I am currently interviewing Drs and have talked to CGCosmetics and south Florida center for cosmetic surgery... Both of which are in Miami. I also have consults coming up for dr. Landon and dr. Fakhre both are in Tampa. I guess what I'm asking for is help from all of you to help me find a dr in Florida. Who would you reccommend and why? Who should I avoid and why? Please help me decide who I should trust with this surgery :). Thank you so much for your help and support!!

I had my breast done at cg cosmetics in February of this year. And I have to say they did an amazing job.

Your wish boob pics are excellent choices, good luck, and number two pic is my fav. size and shape are excellent. It will be interesting to see the change in your nipples. I am always curious how the BA affects them.

Do not go to CG Cosmetics !!! I just had surgery there 6 weeks ago and I spent half of my recovery time in Brandon Regonal hospital due to a major infection I acquired. I'm also very unhappy with my results. Please don't make the mistake of going there. Everyone there with the exception of the surgeons can hardly speak English, are rude, and unprofessional so many flaws. I had the worst experience and I regret going there. I was blind sided by so much. I thought I had chosen a great doctor and now I have results I hate and I will never let CG workers put their unprofessional hands on me again. I'm saving up for a revision to be done by another surgeon. Please be careful and just stay in the Tampa area. I plan to use a Tampa surgeon for my revision. I haven't yet posted my reviews on CG yet due to the fact that I've been sick most of the time but have every intention in making sure I help others see them for what they are. The place is also so run down, nothing like the online pictures. Very uncomfortable experience, total waste of my money. I wish I'd never found them online. They're also known as Coral Gables look the malpractice up. I found out too many things all too late, but i hope I can help you.

Thank you so much! And I M so sorry for what happened to you. It's a shame that places like that are even allowed to practice any sort of medicine. I've been following dr freiman on RS and from his comments he seems to be quite rude! I have decided to go with dr. Fakhre in Tampa. He is double board certified and has wonderful reviews everywhere. He is very nice and considerate when you speak with him as well. Not sure when you are looking to get a revision but I would definitely look dr fakhre up and at least have a consult with him. thank you for looking out for me and I'm so sorry for what happened to you sweetie!

Not sure where you live, but I went to Dr. Charles Messa in Weston Florida and I love my results!! I am 40 and just got them 3 months ago. I am 5' and 116 and I had 350 cc's.

Consults

So here is where I am so far in my search for a Florida plastic surgeon... I've had two "virtual" consultations with two Miami offices. First was the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery (I have a friend that got her BA done here and got great results). I basically emailed them pictures of my breasts and told whoever I was emailing what I was looking for (which is how important symmetry is to me) and they emailed me back with a quote of $4,498. They didn't really tell me what that covered or any details really, just that if I wanted to reserve that price I needed to send a deposit.
Next, was CGCosmetics (my sister-in-law went here and warned me that they get you in and out and hardly speak to you). It was exactly the same experience as the previous place, where I sent pics of my breasts through an email and told them what I was looking for. They emailed me back and told me if I just wanted silicone implants it would be $3500. But if I was worried about symmetry it would be $4500.
*** side note: I went to a consult 6 years ago after I finished breastfeeding my first child. I was told at that consult that one areola was slightly larger than the other from breastfeeding and it would need to be fixed to have symmetry. Well I never followed through with BA at that time. Fast forward 6 years, I've had 2 more children. The differences in symmetry are hardly noticeable but I can see when looking in the mirror that one areola/nipple sits slightly higher than the other. So since I have yet to sit with an actual PS, all I can do is express this concern over emails to these Miami offices. Not feeling very confident about these two places.***
So, since the Miami offices are very hands off and from reviews I've read on realself about how they run business, I have set up two consults with two different Tampa PS's. I will be going to New Tampa Plastic Surgery and actually sitting down and talking to Dr. G. Peter Fakhre on May 10. So far I have had a wonderful experience with this office and Dr. Fakhre has remarkable reviews everywhere. I have yet to find a bad review for him.
Then, on May 12 I will be going to Landon Plastic Surgery and meeting with Dr. Landon. I have had a great experience with the office coordinator Jennifer. She is quick to reply to calls or emails. One thing that caught my attention about this office is that they have In-house financing instead of having to go through CareCredit or other places like that (they still offer that option as well, for those that would rather go through a company like that).
I'm very excited and a little nervous for these next two consults. But I want to know I'm making an educated decision when I choose my PS, which is why I'm going to multiple places and Dr's. I know Miami will probably be cheaper. I'm hoping that Tampa is not way more expensive. But I'd rather pay more to get the results I want than to pay less and end up with breasts I hate.
Anyone else feel this way? Can anyone give me any advice?
