Mommy Makeover

Starting my journey.

WORTH IT$9,100
I’ve wanted a tummy tuck for 14 years. Excessive weight gain with my first child caused a nice mommy pouch. I’m on the keto diet and have lost 37 lbs. I like my shape except for the tummy. I had considered grouping breast lift or bbl but for now I’m just going to do the tummy. Currently looking at several surgeon and using a surgery coordinator to help me along. Looking at Camille Chavez, Mel Ortega, Enrique Hanabergh, and Rafael Salas in Miami and Mike Song or Robert Davoudi in Atlanta. I am doing consults with 2 local surgeons Robert Paulson and D’Arcy Honeycutt out of Bismarck but neither do the waist like I would like.

Top 3

As of now my top 3 choices are DR Salas, DR Krau, and Dra Duran. I have gone back and forth on getting a breast lift. After my consult with Salas I feel like I can trust him with my breast even if it seems that the tummy tuck is what he does best. Krau of course has amazing breast work, I don't see many of his healed incisions though. Most are covered with underwear. Thats disappointing. But what I see I do like. If I do go with Duran I would not do breast. I would wait for a second round and have Krau do them for sure.
I still have some consults I am waiting on. I feel like every surgeon in ATL and MIA has now seen me naked lol. The best prices I am getting are in MIA. Atls results are kinda average apart from Jimerson, Wright-Jones, & Okoro. Im just not wanting to pay that much. I find the Drs I'm interested in, in MIA are on par or better than those.
Now lets see how many times I can change my mind over the next 30 days.

After a lot of contemplation I have decided to go with Dr Salas. Out of the 20 something surgeons I requested consultations with he was one of 2 that personally spoke with me. He gave me such a good feeling when speaking with him. I felt like I could trust him completely with my body. I have decided that will let him also do my breast lift. I have decided against implant at this time. I have paid my deposit and requested August 8th 2019 as my surgery date.
