Breast lift, no implants-where to begin?

[Daisee68 2,493]

I thought I would come back here and update after having my first consultation last week. Dr. said I was a good candidate and at a good weight. Would be fine if I didn't lose anymore but if I did to not lose more than 5 to 10 pounds at the most. This dr (Dr Peter Fisher in San Antonio) doesn't do implants if he can get away with just a lift but he said there was simply not enough tissue/fat left for him to just do a lift on me. He had me try on a bra with some implants (450cc tear drop shaped silicone) that filled out a 38D and put my shirt back on. I felt like they looked a little too big but I am not doing the breasts first anyway, so I have some time to discuss that. First procedure we are going to do is Brachioplasty & LBL (which includes extended Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, mons lift and reduction (if necessary), outer (lateral) thigh lift, buttock lift and fat transfer of buttocks and hips as needed). This is an 8+ hour surgery!! I am very anxious about that!

My 2nd procedure will be breast lift / augmentation and extended medial thigh lift. Procedures must be at least 3 months apart.....

Do you have to pay all of the costs out of pocket?

@@blessed973 - yes. Insurance does not cover any of the procedures.
