Face work - how to find a surgeon?



Recommended Posts

I watch All My Children. I have watched it since it started.

I had no idea that face lift cost that much. I was thinking it

was more like10,000 I am going to have to wait a long time and

maybe I will inherit some money. That's a lot of money!

Denise - I was lurking on a theard one day and remember someone I knew watched it - (it was between you - green or Bjean)

Yep face lifts are big money.. I live in a resort area - so I will pay resort prices. But I think 25 to 30 is about what they are now a days.

but if you just get your eyes done its like $2500 -

Everything that I have had done, the band and the face lift, was paid for by inherited money. My mum died 2 years ago. I have heard that it is possible to pay much less up here in Toronto but I didn't want to risk my face.

I have also heard that some of the best plastic surgeons in the world are in Brazil. It seems that Brazilian women have long been into cosmetic improvements. I don't know whether this would be a cheaper alternative. There is Mexico. This is something Wasa might know about. She is getting her TT done there. Why don't you PM her for some input?

Denise822 Be sure to keep us posted on any news you get about PS outside the USA.

Green: If you went through 9 hours of anethesia with asthma, then maybe I shouldn't worry about it.

I use to have that problem where every cold went right to my lungs. I quit smoking 10 years ago and no longer have that problem.

I recently won a judgement of $13000.00 from a malpractice lawsuit against a lawyer that really screwed my over on my divorce. Turns out that he doesn't have malpractice insurance. I've done an assets search and his house has several other malpractice suit leins, IRS leins, and a forclosure on it. Looks like I won't see a cent, but if I'd have gotten my money I could go to the best PS surgeon.

On TITS. I've always had large breasts, very round and firm, thankfully not the drooping kind (2 kids but only breastfed a month). When I weighed in at ideal, they were 34-36 B cups. Now they are D cups. My ex of 37 years never seemed that interested in them (think he was more interested in men than women) so I figured all those men that were attratected to me was because of my brain (or if you're a Freudian, a closet triangle).

My BF of 10 years is wild over my breasts. So I learned it wasn't my brain.....:):cry I want a reduction/lift when this is over.

I had no idea that men were so breast crazy. I've always wanted those little tits that allow you to run without them bouncing all over the place.

Now I see on cable TV all the porn stars and such have these jugs that look totally out of proportion to the rest of their bods. And the nipples are almost on top of their boobs:rolleyes:!!!!!!!

OPENING the thread:

I've lost all my weight plus some. I've been +/- 10 pounds for a year so I think I'm good to go for surgery.

No lose skin, no deflated breasts....nothing like that.

My face has thinned out and my nose is overpowering my face. Always wanted a nose job since a teen but it was on the back burner...well, in the pantry really.

But now I need it.

There are thousands of docs around....I can spend $ at EACH for consulations....but that's rediculious. And asking family and friends???? I'd rather them now know.

Anyone know of any good and not overpriced surgeons in NC or even Mexico?

Know about the price...and estimate?

Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
