Plastic Surgery Appointment

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Havent checked in this week but have been in lurk mode reading the

emails. I have been busy...lots of stuff happening at the moment.

Have had a hungry few days, hoping its just a short phase that will

be ending soon.

I went down to North Sydney to see my plastic surgeon today. His name

is Dr Tavakoli...He has featued on shows like BodyWorks and magazines

like Marie Clare. I have been researching for months and months,

emailing and speaking with several different surgeons. He first sat

me down and talked with me about alot of things including that he

will not touch me if I dont give up smoking. A little to give up for

what I want though. He took me into a room and I had to get naked and

he checked everything out. He said he will be able to really work

with my boobs and that I dont need implants but I am a grade 3 with

my sagginess...ewwww.

With my tummy tuck he is going to do an Extended Tummy tuck, one

which is a little longer than the normal one so he can take the fat

etc from the hips and lift the outside of my thighs a little. He said

it will change my life and that when hes finished it will be flat and

no saggy skin. He is going to lipo my flanks and back fat to countour

my body nicely....oh I tell you I am in love. He is going to book me

in for around end of March. I have to stay in hospital for 3 nights

and in Sydney for another 4 nights incase anything goes wrong. The

cost is huge ... it was nothing like I was expecting but I have no

private health insurance so I am completely self pay. All up

including hospital etc its going to be about $25 000...but what value

can you put on how it will finally make me feel after having this

tummy since I was 16 when I had my eldest, I really have known

nothing other than a belly and boobs that sag badly. I am just so

excited, I cant find the words.

Anyway, as for tummy tucks please think about who you go

to...everyone to their own, but if you have to pay a little extra so

its done properly I

would do that. Look around carefully, there are so many PS that you

have a wide choice..... I have researched for so long and emailed

countless surgeons...Some just want your money and dont care about the

results...others are like artists, they look at our body and think

how they

can sculpt it into something better. This Dr has big plans and it

really

excited me hearing him talk about what he is going to do. I have

another app in a month for a photo shoot as he put it lol...then its

down to business.
