Can't make-up my mind

So I went & saw the plastic surgeon on Friday 7/11/08 he was great.... I am for sure going to have him do my work! Here is the problem.. I went see him about getting just my arms done (for now that is) well now I am thinking about getting both my arms & boobs done at the same time... I really, really want to get both done, but its $9500.00 for both or $5600.00 for just the arms. That's A LOT of money!!! I can't make up my mind so why don't you tell me what you think!!! If I was to just get my arms done I would save around $3900.00 & have to wait like 1 or 2 yrs before getting my boobs done… When I do get them done it would be around $5500.00 (at today's prices)… SO HELP… Would you put out all that $ now to get both done or would you get just your arms done & save a little money?

Hey AlyCat!

I can almost gaurantee that if you get the girls done you will not regret it! My TT and BL (no implants) came to $9200 and I paid via Capital one Health Finance. It's about $200 a month and is the type of credit that car payments are not like department store credit (revolving credit is worse on your credit report). Anyway, you can pay cash for the arms and finance the breasts if you'd like, You can always pay it off early if you want to but I can promise you you'll love it!

You'll save $ on the doctor's fees by doing two procedures at once right?

Keep me updated! This is exciting!

How long did it take before you could go back to work after having both done? How much pain where you in?

If I HAD the money, I would for SURE to both, ESPECIALLY the ta ta's! For me that's what I like the least about my body...and man what Iwould give to change that... but if you physically do NOT have the money, orcould not get financing for it then that wouldmake the decision easier.. But for ME if I COULD get the financing or had the money (and if I were at goal, as now is not a good time to get it done lol) I would do both! Good luck on your decision! Whatever you do it's going to be SO wonderful! Leslee

for sure do all at once. i dont know about you and what the situation is with how much skin you have and the kind of sag you have..but if your breast are super saggy. they usually recomend doing a lift 1st then going back later and doing an implant if thats what you want. doing the arms at the same time again allows them to get that side /back fat that lurks on the side of the bra.. be sure he is going to address this by taking a "mellon wedge" tuck at the sides.. keep the profile nice and helps with that side back fat glob at the bra on the sides.

I did the TT(full anchor), arms and boobs all at one time. it was allot..but it was made worse by the fact  i had a 9 moth old at the time and really couldnt allow myself to sleep and rest on pain meds like i needed. but now that it is over.I am gald its done. finances as they are i cannot aford to have any work done now.....so i am happy at least the main areas are addressed and i like the result.

remember most of us dont blink at financing a new car at 30K or more.. you will only drive that car for what a max of 10 years?? this is YOUR body..for life....its worth any investment you can make:-)

good luck

If you are planning on getting the boobs done later anyway, you save money by combining procedures as you have the surgeon fee once, the facilty fee once, anestesia once, etc.  I saved a few thousand dollars by combing my tummy tuck with my boobs rather than doing them separately.  Good luck.

I had them done at the same time and am happy I did.  IMO it's well worth spending the additional $3900 right now.  Would you surgeon be doing the axilla with it (side boobs), my surgeon included it in the price and I am so happy with the results.

 

Good luck!

LOL.... Side boobs that’s a good name for that... Yes, he will be taking care of that also! So no more skin roles under my arms & no more back roles also...

If I had plenty of money and ddin't have to worry about being out of work, I'd have every part of me re-done, including boobs. I say go for it!
