After Years of Waiting, Divorce, and a Flight From Seattle - Dr. Cat Was Worth It

WORTH IT$73,000
I had followed Dr. Cat on her social media since 2016. I was going to do a tummy tuck back in 2019 but after a surprise pregnancy I had to wait and then the Covid hit in 2020 and then in 2022 I got divorced, which was a painful process on its own. So finally in November of 2025 I gathered courage and money to call the office and book my first consultation. At that point my self-esteem and confidence was down the drain and I was looking to do a tummy tuck, labiaplasty and a breastlift. The office offered virtual consultation but I wanted to meet Dr. Cat in person so I flew down to Beverly Hills from Seattle. I stayed at the SLS on La Cienega blvd which is about 10 min ride with Uber. The consultation was very informative and since I was already so familiar with her technique, and recovery timeline I really wanted to know how fast I could do all 3 surgeries since Dr. Cat doesn't stack them all in one day. She likes to stage them for better healing and recovery. We decided to go with Tummy Tuck first with 2 months in-between the surgeries. I scheduled my tt surgery with the consultant Amy in February of 2026 and my labiaplasty for mid-may because I wanted to be healed and ready for my Italy trip in July. She has her own operating room on Rodeo drive so that was nice and convenient and calmed my anxiety to see familiar faces on the day of the surgery. This review is only for my tummy tuck and the labia surgery. I haven't had my breast lift yet. We have booked a preliminary date for November this year. I'm very very happy with the results, the recovery, pain , my tt scar. She is a perfectionist and takes pride in what she does and is strict with her process and what she does and doesn't do. So if you like letting go of control (like I do) and putting trust in her, its a great fit for you. The only pain was my travel since I had to make arrangements for my kids and work schedule so yes, I wish she was closer but I would definitely recommend her. She is the real deal. I will update my review after my breast lift. I'm still deciding if I should do implants or not so I'd love to hear your experiences about breast lift and implants.
