PLASTIC SURGERY HELP PLEASE!

I needed some help please... I am almost 2 years post op & also just had a baby almost 2 months ago & I really need some help on finding a plastic surgeon in Tampa area or close by that has payment plans or financing.. & that is good. Please help!! I am going in this blindly without knowing how to start off at getting some work done! Tummy tuck, arms, & hopefully breast lift! Thanks...

Hi Tiffini- I am in Tampa and 2 months post Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift/Aug. I used Dr Naji Baddoura, 80% of his patients are WLS patients so he has tremendous experience with excess skin. I am not sure about the payment plan or financing aspect, but if you would like to email me, I will get you his phone number address etc. Please choose your plastic surgeon very carefully! Best of luck! Lori 222/133 laprny 1-6-04 plastics 12-14-04

congradulations on your weight loss and new baby... hope you find a good dr

I haven't had my PS yet, but I also had a consult with Dr. Baddura. The initial consult is free. He is VERY nice. Expect to wait at his office. I hear he is rarely runs on time. My appointment was for 10 and didn't in till Noon...and its because he TAKES HIS TIME with you and answers any and all questions. He does not make you feel rushed even though he has a waiting room of people. I am hoping to get my TT covered bu insurance. Good Luck. Terese

Tiffini- I have been to a couple of doctors in my area. I live in Lakeland. I went to one in Winter Haven. Urghhhh, I was almost discouraged from the whole surgery. Felt totally uncomfortable. A friend at work recommended Dr. Doran Stark in Lakeland. I went for a consult. He is great. I immediately felt at ease and my confidence in having plastic surgery skyrocketed! They have financing options available through Capital one and another company. Since we sold our home after the hurricanes we are between mortgages so capital one wouldnt touch us, I went online and found my own financing through someone else. I have been to Dr Starks web site and many others. The internet is a wonderful wealth of knowledge use. I have watched streaming videos of the actual tummy tuck and breast augmentation online. I have a ton of questions to ask on my next pre op visit, I am sure he will be happy !! HA HA Anyway Good luck dear and dont get discouraged...Youre doctor and your financing are out there!...JOY

Tiffini Have you explored the possibility of your insurance covering your "reconstructive" work. Some insurance carriers do cover some plastics if they are medically necessary. Just a thought. Good luck.

thanks for all the advice .!!! still trying to figure out what insurance to get that wont call it "preexisting" any advice.. ;let me know Tiff

Tiffini Have you posted this question on the plastic surgery forum on this web site. The folks over there might be able to give you some good advice.
