Plastics consult - very excited and nervous!!
HI guys,
I booked my plastics consult today, Monday 28th Nov at 9.30.
Its with Ocala pastic surgery and was recommended to me by a fellow DS'er. I am planning on a Brachioplasty and TT but I may just do the arms - we'll see.
Does anyone know anything about a type of insurance you can take out before surgery that covers you for any post op complications etc??

Hey Hon,
Thanks for that info, I googled it and it makes me feel kind of reassured. I am so tired of worrying about how I hold my arms all the time as I wear short sleeves alot here due to the weather. I get fed up with people staring at my arms ! I know I am going to have huge scars but at least they will no longer be flapping in the wind!!
Ok, now I am excited but kinda scared.
What happened with your consult? did you schedule anything?

For me, the hardest part was the pictures. I knew to expect them because I'd had DH do pictures which I'd emailed to Dr. Saucedo. That didn't make it any easier. Everything went fine.
His staff gave me a written quote but also referred me to a general surgeon he works with for my incisional hernia repair. I'm waiting for that appointment.
I want to go on an schedule, but I just started a new job and DH isn't on board with the cost. We're still paying off the surgeon fees for my revision, we'll see.

So exciting Yorkie!
I had a lot of plastics done, but I have to tell you if had to pick just one procedure it would have been my arms. People see them the most.
I think I know the other DS'er who had her plastics in Ocala :) - and she looks amazing. That surgeon does great work.
Good luck!

I agree, Joanne, if I could have any procedure done, it'd be my arms. I also really want to have some "filler" placed in my "marionette lines" that run from my nose to my mouth. That's a pretty quick fix, but I just can't seem to justify the $500 on it!
