First Plastic Surgeon Visit!


Wow. Talk about mortifying. I had to stand there in the buck with nothing but these tiny bikini underwear they provide you, and get photographed! Sagging boobies, hanging belly, arms flapping in the wind - that took ALOT!

And what did i learn at the end of the day?? I shouldve stayed Fat because i cant afford all this surgery LOLOL

Just kidding of course. I got a consultation on a little extra neck fat, sagging deflated boobies, massive arm flab hanging and a WILD unruly stomach that is all sorts of wrinkled.

THe great news was...he said there is NO fat in my stomache or arms...that im hollowed out!! Yay. I was hoping it was just skin and not more I needed to lose. It was kind of gratifying :) My BMI was right where it should be. I was thrilled.

It turns out I will not have any surger before my wedding (July). Im so glad he was honest and straightforward and ssaid hell no missy, cutting it too close!

Anyway, I liked him, I got priced and overviews and tons of photos, so eventually, after the wedding, ill go back to him. But check out these prices!!!!!!!!!

Location: Bergen County, NJ
Doctor Quality: Top US Plastic Surgeon

Overall Cost (procedure, anastesia, facility, taxes)

Neck Lip 4,000
Arms 10,000
Tummy 20,000
Boobs: Said I should wait till after children, so didnt quote me.

WOW! I need a better job people!!!!

Just to compare my PS was $11,500 for extended tummy tuck. $10k for breast augmentation and lift and $86000 for thigh lift. Very important that you shop around. Good luck.

The truth be told I have no idea what my surgeon charges. He was very adament about getting the insurance to cover everything and he has never even brought up the cost. But the first surgeon I saw said the tummy tuck was 10k and he didnt' want to talk insurance at all. I'm kinda anxious to see what the insurance is paying when its done.
