Hello RS. I've been at this PS thing before but...
$6,000
Hello RS. I've been at this PS thing before but now I'm at it again. I have my before pics that I've shared. I have non-perky breasts and I think they've been that way since puberty. Maybe Gravity was pissed off at me. Lol. Anyway I have loose saggy belly skin and I had a C-Section 11 years ago. I have wayyyyy toooo many stretch marks. Not sure what to do about that but there's Dermablend for that. I've always visited this site and had yet to make a review, but this is a major surgery that I'm undergoing and it doesn't seem right not to share. Especially for those that are still mustering up the courage to get whatever procedures done.
I'm 33, with one child and had her by c-section. I'm 5'8 and weigh 178 lbs. my weight fluctuates from 175 to 182. I'm a natural 36D. I'm getting a lift and I think I want to be a DD it mainly turn into a lift and augmentation. I'm going to Dr. Michael D. Cohen. He was referred to me by (get this) my boyfriend. He said one of his ex's got a breast augmentation and her boobs looked f'n amazing. I'm very secure so I was like "Whaaaaat! Let me call them now and get a free consultation." Christina called me back and even though they are super busy she ironically had a cancellation for a couple days later in the week. Yes!
I went in for the consult and I forgot what it felt like to have the physical insecurities exposed for someone else to see. Boy what pressure. Anyway, Christina was amazing as she walked me to the back and instructed me to remove my clothing and put on the robe and slippers from the closet and Dr. Cohen would be right in. So, I've got to say he's pretty ray in the eyes. Comfort numbrè uno. So I told him what I wanted and then the unveiling. First response was ok not bad. Your last surgery doesn't even look like you've had work done and I've maintained it well. I've heard that before so that was a sigh of relief coming from another surgeon. So, he said that I have really firm breast tissue so a lift is all I needed. I said ok then, but now if I'm going to get cut I want the augmentation too. Just one cup size to DD. That's only a couple grand more. Back to the consult he said I only need a modified tummy tuck because of the previous Liposuction and it not being far at the outer parts of my stomach, some stretch marks will remain and oh boy do I have them. Oh well I'll take less of them and no more FUPA. So yes to surgery.
So here we are three weeks pre-op and really excited. I do have a phenomenal support system and my number one is my daughter. She is the best child a parent could ever pray for. I swear she's been here before and she had to be a freaking psychologist or something because she sees in between the lines so well. So, I'll say from my last surgery she was the biggest help in the world AND her gma gave her an award for best "nurse of the year". Tears. I told her what I'm about to do and she said you're about to get rid of the flabby skin Mom? I said yup and lift up my girls so they're not always frowning. Pahaaaaa. Lol. We both laughed. Love her so much.
I'm free to talk about whatever here and I would love to get and receive feedback from anyone who has had this procedure done. I've had drains before and been lipo'd. Got rid of 19 liters of fat. That's like almost 1500-2000cc. I wasn't even fat. I was pleasantly plump though. More fluff than buff if you know what I mean. Oh boy was I in pain, every freakin penny was worth it though. I'm happy and I planned to get this mommy makeover after the last surgery anyway. So, here I am 5 years later and doing it again.
Much love in advance and I look forward to talking to you all. Updates to come.

One more consult before I make up my mind.
Going for another consultation to get another opinion from Dr. Gabay. I didn't have more than one consult so I feel I need to give it the due diligence of considering all options.

How much is Dr. Cohen charging you. I thinking about traveling from Baltimore to Miami to get my surgery done. I so nervous that the doctors here are going to be expensive. Matter of fact one of the doctors quoted me 18k for a tummy tuck and bbl from an online consultation.

From Dr. Cohen I was getting a modified tummy tuck with muscle repair and a breast lift with augmentation. Silicone gel. It was a little under $17k. Try Dr. Gabay in Philadelphia. I'll be going in June so you can see my results.
