BUT.........................
Prior to having my last daughter I weighed 145lbs, well during my pregnancy I got up to 219. Lost all the weight afterwards but now my breast sag like I have been carrying water jugs with them. I HATE it. Also I my butt has gotten all flabby, saggy, dimply and has dropped a good 2-4 inches. I am not good with being consistent with my work out ( i Know that is bad) but I want to fix these things. My thighs are all nasty and filled with cellulite. I absolutely hate it. I want surgery. I was looking into the Brazilian butt lift , breast lift and lipo for stomach and  my thighs.
I am just happy to be able to express this with other people. Reason being is because people that are close to me think I am INSANE because I am not what most would consider big and with my clothes on I look pretty good. But I tell them it's not about how they think I look but how I feel I look. I don't like it and want to fix it.

Continue to do your research, I am very happy and excited for you. Please continue to keep us posted.

Also if there is someone that would recommend different Dr's in the USA for me to get Breast lift, lipo, BBL then please let me know so I can start researching them over the next several months.

 
you know for cellulite they have a newer procedure to deal with that, b/c actually lipo doesnt get rid of cellulite but they have a few laser procedures that do..
 
 
 
 


Thanks for the info. I am going to research this. And I just joined MMH and they have tons of info on there as well. You are well informed in so many areas SB. Thanks a bunch for sharing what you know

 Meechie2cute, I went to a consultation two weeks ago to look into getting a tummy tuck and the surgeon advised me I would need a tummy tuck, lipo suction on each hip to sculpture my body and slight lipo on my back, altogether he quoted me $9300 with only a 24 hour overnight stay.

Yes girl $ less than 6000 for EVERYTHING. , a tummy tuck with muscle repair, teeth whitening and lipo to my back, waist and hips!
 
Meechie does that price include your airfare and your stay at the clinic/resort ?
 
Yes...isn't that wonderful. I cried today with my hubby cause I am so happy. I never thought I cold ever afford this. Out here in Cali, the prices are simply outrageous. They want 20, 000 for everything I want. and with costa rica, I get a great posh facility with nurses and someone to cook and help me. Yeah, at hoem I would have gotton that for a few days and then life begins again...hubby, kids and life. There in Costa Rica, I can heal without worries, I may be in discomfort, but I will be ok. NOW I need a person to travel with.  I don't know many people that can leave for two weeks at a time, but I am taking off work and using my vacation plus sick time. I am so pumped up.....

Hi, M2C i just wanted to add that I have a very good friend who is from Costa Rica and she had told me a few years ago that the Doctors in Costa Rica are very very good and inexpensive compared to the U.S. And that many people go there for their surgeries. And if I wanted to have any procedures done she would go with me and make sure that I have a place to stay and whatever I needed. I think that if you decide to go out of the country that is the place you want to go.

Best wishes for you and God Bless!

Oh wow Curly, I will have to make a day of that!
 
Just an update my quote was $3800 which include plastic surgeons
fee, operating room, anesthetist, overnight stay at
our center when needed, all material used, follow ups,
medications and garments.
 
  So for my recovery stay, airfare, plus teeth whitening it will be a little less than $6000 All I can say is Vacation to costa Rica here I come!!!

Meechie you gotta check out the one in Corona when you get a chance. It's was the very first one built back in the 1800's  because it's centered around the natural mineral springs coming out of the earth in that area. It's like a huge resort nestled in the mountains with beautiful landscaping all over the place. If you go there it will be an all day affair because there is so much stuff to do there.....sulfer springs, salt water hot tubs, fresh water hot tubs, mud baths, the underground grotto, several swimming pools, full body massages, wraps, scrubs, facials, manicures, pedicures, a restaurant, live jazz music etc., etc., etc.
