Affordable Plastic Surgery in New York City
Washington Heights Word of Mouth: Affordable Quality Plastic Surgery in New York City
I am about to reveal a secret that will change the lives of many women. Ladies, I hope you are all sitting down when you read this.
How many of you ladies have considered having plastic surgery? We have all looked in the mirror and pulled and stretched certain areas of our body or face and said, "I wish I could get rid of that or "a little enhancement won't hurt".
Plastic surgery can be very expensive. We all go online and do our research and look for a board certified plastic surgeon. Once we find a surgeon, we look at their websites, read reviews, call and make a consultation. At the consultation, you discuss what you want to have done with your surgeon, you ask questions. At the end of your consultation you should have all the answers to your questions and feel comfortable with your surgeon. Some of us go for a second and third consultation with different surgeons usually to compare techniques and prices. The conclusion you usually come to is that this procedure (beauty enhancement) is going to put a dent in your purse. So what are we to do when there is no way we can pay "those prices" for our beauty enhancements? We find an alternative!!!!
Word of mouth is very important. Most of us are inclined to use the same surgeon as a family member or friend. This word of mouth secret comes straight out of the Washington Heights neighborhood in New York City. You can have breast augmentation and liposuction done as an out-patient procedure for around $3,500 - $6,000USD. (This is an estimated range due to the fact that every case is different and only at your consultation will you know how much you will be charged) Information below:

******************************************************************************************************
Questions:
•1- Are these procedures performed by a board certified surgeon?
Answer: Yes. You should never have any procedure done with a surgeon unless he/she is board certified. Do your research!!
•2- Where are these procedures performed?
Answer: Procedures are performed at Harlem Hospital Center located at 135th Street & Lenox Avenue in New York City. Very easy to get to by subway, bus and car.
•3- Why are these cosmetic surgeries so affordable?
Answer: These procedures are performed in a clinic instead of a private practice which cuts the cost to the client but doesn't compromise on quality. Your cosmetic surgery is performed by a board certified surgeon.
•4- What can I expect at this clinic?
Answer: You will have to pay a co-payment every time you visit. Co-payments are determined by your insurance carrier if you have one. This co-payment is usually in the range of $10-$30, depending on your health insurance. If your health insurance is not accepted at this clinic or you do not have insurance, you will be asked about how much you make monthly. You will not be asked to prove your income. Your income is used to determine how much your co-payment will be for your clinic visits. They use a sliding scale. You will be told your co-payment and a clinic card will be created for you. You will have to pay your co-payment on the day of your consultation. You can expect long wait times. You can expect uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room areas. Anyone that lives in New York City and has been to the emergency room or clinic can relate to the long waiting time, uncomfortable chairs and less than pleasant service but you see the best doctors and you live thru it only to have to do it all over again. It is all part of living in the big city.
•5- Is financial assistance available?
Answer: Most health insurance companies will not pay for cosmetic surgery unless it is health related. You can ask to be placed on a payment plan if you are unable to come up with the entire cost of your cosmetic surgery.
Please note: There is no guarantee that you will be granted a payment plan but it doesn't hurt to ask, so ask!!!!
•6- How did you, newyorkcitygal, come across this Washington Heights word of mouth secret?
Answer: I personally know of 4 women that have had liposuction and breast augmentation done at Harlem Hospital Center. All of them are completely satisfied with their results and they look amazing. They have recommended their friends and family and are more than happy to show off their results. They all had their surgery performed by the same surgeon. Please click on More info if you would like more information on this surgeon More info..
Below is a description written by someone that had liposuction and breast augmentation done on August 15, 2008 at Harlem Hospital Plastic Surgery Center and I quote.....
"Here are the things no one writes about when you get breast augmentation or liposuction. I was under for 6 hours because my doctor was FABULOUS and one implant had more cc's than the other so once they lifted me (they do this to everyone to see if the implants are even) he noticed they were not the same size and had to adjust them. Then he was obssessed with my lipo, hee, hee. He did do a great job.
When I come around I was told I was getting some morphine for the pain. My sister, surrogate mother and my bff (god bless that skinny girl) where there waiting for me to come out. So I was rolled into a room dying to see my boobies, LADIES YOU WILL BE INCOHERENT AND UNABLE TO SEE YOUR NEW BOOBIES. LOL! You are laid flat on the bed and no matter how much to you try to see them you can't. Staying over night in the hospital was the best thing that could have happened there was a nurse at my beck and call for the hours I was there.
You will be in pain as the anesthisia wears off, OF COURSE YOU'VE BEEN CUT and STRETCHED and if you get lipo FILLED WITH FLUID AND SUCTIONED. I went home with a script for Tylenol with Codine, I was TERRIFIED. I thought holy mother of Jesus I am going to be in pain but ON CONTRAIR MON FREIR, I was SOAR. Man I was soar but not in pain. You cannot shower the first day, but on the second day, I was able to. I was able to wash my hair and bathe with no problem. You are able to lift your arms just not for an extended time. You CANNOT and I MEAN CANNOT bend over, you will be hurting. I was on the Tylenol Codine for 7 days after that you are not as soar.
The lipo is UGLY the first day you take your girdle off it is swollen and you have areas that are HARD. But that will subside and you will look great. How long does it take for you to be FLAT? Anywhere from 6-8 months. Yes that's right, don't expect to be flat immediately, lipo is not like a tummy tuck. With lipo you are injected a ton of fluid to dissolve the fat then you are suctioned. All of that causes the hardness and the swollen.
Its my 10 weeks since my surgery and my boobs are great, they feel so real and look real, FABULOUS!!! As for the lipo, I have no pudge at all, I M EAN AT ALL but I am not completely flat and there are still areas that are hard from the fat dissolving solution."
"Below is a little list of things you are not told -
1) You cannot sleep on your sides when you get new boobies for about 2 weeks
2) You cannot sleep on your belly for about 6 weeks
3) Your first week is a living nightmare because you are so SOAR.
4) You don't feel pain only soarness
5) You have to get up and walk, FORCE YOURSELF the first day out of bed you have to do it
6) When you get lipo you are not as flexible as before you cannot bend from side to side untill you are completely heeled (6-8 months)
7) When you get lipo you are not flat immediately
8) Your after pics are not taken till your 6 month visit
9) You have to find a great surgeon because he will make the difference!!! I LOVE MY SURGEON!
9) REGARDLESS of where the incision is for your boobs YOU WILL LOOSE SENSATION (takes about 6 months to get it back; remember you are getting nerves cut and your boob is getting strected and pooked to make space for the new invader).
10) YOU WILL FEEL GREAT if your surgeon did a good job
11) You have to wear the compression garment day and night for however long the doctor tells you
12) You will feel great and wonder why you didn't get it done sooner! LOL!
13) I just can't stop saying how great you'll feel.
This is the website www.designveronique.com; I used to purchase my girdle. I had to purchase 2, one for right after the surgery and then a smaller one once the swelling goes down.
You should buy vitamin e oil for the stiches the higher the IU the better. Fades away the scars nicely."
Newyorkcitygal's Washington Hts word of mouth:
I believe that this blog will help many women that thought it was impossible to have good plastic surgery done at an affordable price without leaving to another country. I have compared prices and it is cheaper to have your surgery done here at Harlem Hospital Center than to have it done in the Dominican Republic. You save on air fare, you save on your hotel/family stay. You are having your cosmetic surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, that you can come back and see if you need to without having to board an airplane. How great is it that you can have a beauty enhancement done in close proximity to where you live. Now you can use your tax return to treat yourself, yes, I said it, lol. Please come back and comment on my page and let me know how it went for you with your plastic surgery performed at Harlem Hospital Center. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have on liposuction and breast augmentation, I will pass them along to my contact person and she will try to answer your questions. Please pass the word along and refer your friends to this blog.

I am a mother of two and was wondering about a brazillian butt left and lipo. I was wondrring about the pricing and the success of the procedure
does anyone know the price of breast implants and lipo?
I have an appointment in may of 2011 for a consultation to have surgery done. I already have the money and I am ready for my surgery. Does anyone know if I can go before the consultation date?
Everything is done with consultation first and that is good because you want to discuss what is going to be done to you with your doctor and you get you ask questions. If you have all the money ready then call and see if they can move up your consultation date. Good luck and please come back and let us all know how it all turned out.
Hello! I would love it, if when I call or others call that someone could pick up the phone. If the number above is the one you call 212 939-8190,then someone should pick up the PHONE..........What has happened to GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE????????
they finally answered to tell me the next scheduled appointment is in agust ....uhg i made the appoint emtn but still looking for other places cause i want my boobies before the summer :0(
I just cant believe what I just read!! As soon as I read this I called immediately and made an appt. LadyV is right they take forever to answer the phone and when they do they act like they dont want to help you. I tried to find out directly from them how much it would cost cuz this is like to good to be true. I an interested in Breast Augmentation but I have to have a lift as well, aka...(mastoplexy)along with the implant but they almost wanted to hang up the phone when I asked so I wanted to know you or any one knew if that was additional. I was actually able to get an appt next month so I'm very excited about that. Thanks for sharing!!
Ladies, from what I know, the price range is between 3K-5K for breast augmentation + tummy tuck. Every case is different so the price may vary slightly from this scale but this includes everything. I apologize for the customer service although there is nothing I can do about that situation. All I do know is that price, location and doctor are amazing. When you go for your consultation, ask all your questions. Do not be shy, this is your money, your body so make sure you ask anything and everything that you have on your mind. Now is the best time to get this done, so that when the spring and summer come around, you will look and feel fabulous!!!!
I just want to have (1) procedure done for right now. How much would it be just to have your breast done? Depending on how much it is determines if I need to reschedule my appt.
Does Dr Morrison offer in house financing? I am interested in breast Augmentation and like Slim476 I also need a lift. If the patient puts down like 90% of the cost upfront, can they work with you for the difference?
Thanks:)
hello and thanks for all the advice it really helps when you have looked at so many internet pages and you get more confused cause now you can decided. well i live in colorado and here is around 7000.00 to 12000 and when a found this blog i was so happy cause know i could finally get my tummy tuck my question is do you know how much dr morrison charges for a full tummy tuck on the flyer it says 1500 am am guessing thats just his cost right do you have an idea how much it the total amount please let me know they gave me a consultation till 8/11 and i dont want to get my hopes up if am not going to be able affort it:( do you think its in 5000.00 range
nervous exctited tummy tuck consult may 26 2010 with the chief of resident although dr. morrison is good i hear the chief is also . im not new to surgery iv had a breast reduction before . but nrevous about the tuck . i hear you will be bending over for a bit . so im gona wait til after the summer . so for now pure workouts . that will keep me fit and sexxi til the big day . sooooooooooooo nrevous lol.
Ok I called about ummm 100 times lol and no one there picks up the phone. This a not a good look. What if I had the surgery and started to have complications and I wanted to speak to someone hec anyone? Is this what I will experience? This sucks!
Nasima I hear you. You just have to be patient and keep calling. Maybe you should wait until the middle of the week when their call volume may be low. Especially on a monday from being closed all weekend they are probably over whelmed with alot of callers. I cant remember which day I called on but when I called the 1st time they answered right away but then I called back to ask another question and the phone just rang and rang. I'm the type of person who will just sit there and let the phone ring until someone answers. lol. They will eventually pick up just keep calling. Try either calling early like 8 or 9am when ever they open or like an hour b4 they close.
The number you are calling is to make an appoint for a consultation, they are super busy! Many, many women are calling at the same time you are, this is a steal so people are calling at all hours of the day. When you get the surgery done, you are given a different number to contact if you experience any type of issues after your surgery. Keep trying, the end results are worth it! I can still testify to the fact that many of my friends have had this surgery done with Dr. Morrison and they wish they would have done it sooner. They love they way they look and feel!! Good luck!
Have you heard of them doing a good nose job? Im thinking about trying them for it.
Hello Cha. I haven't heard of them performing rhinoplasty (nose job) but you should call and ask. Please let me know if they do because that would be a great news!
Today is February 7 just finished calling the hospital to get info asked about care credit they said they do not except it. Feeling so bad can't stop crying I'm a mother of six husband died and lost every hope I had of finally fixing this horrible skin that's just hanging was willing just to remove that skin and not even do anything else they gave an appointment for september 1 at 1 I know you might think it's enough time to save but living on a low income as it is it wont be happening soooooooooo sad I would do anything to get it done but i was always that person with no luck thanks anyway.........Wish my prayers get answered someday
Lourdes, although things might seem hopeless you can always get this surgery when you save the money to do so. Don't give up sweetie, just keep on asking and you shall receive. Nothing is ever impossible as long as you believe. We all have those moments in life in which we feel like the world is literally crumbling around us but hope is everything. Beauty isn't all about the physical, it always starts within. I have been around women that look like models and yet they find themselves to look ugly. You will be fine, don't let this bring you down.
Hello I wanted to know if I can use my Flexiable spending account to pay for the procedure ???
Hello Redd5. Thank you for passing by my blog. From what I have been told, they only accept cash, money orders and credit cards as form of payment. But I would call in to double check. Good luck and please let me know if they accept any other forms of payment and please pass this blog along to all your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and any other social network pages.
Do you know how much it is for a tummy tuck ?????:)
Hello Everyone,
I finally got through and got an apointment for August 25th (yippy am soooo excited)but I have 2 questions
@Newyorkcitygal - How much is the tummy tuck procedure? And do they provide a girdle for post op? Thanks a mill . and yes with no shame I will use my income tax return to treat myself.. =) thanks a bunch .
Hello Carolyn. Thanks for passing by my blog. The tummy tuck procedure will run you anywhere from $1,500-$3,000. Please make sure to write down all your questions before your consultation on August 25th and bring them with you so you can write down all your answers. I look forward to hearing back from you once you have gone to your consultation. You are provided with information on what to wear after your surgery, this information should be provided for you on the day of your consultation as well. Good luck :0)
may 26 getting smart lipo im sooooooooo excited , somr one on my job went to dr to dr. cabral she looks good but im staying with the usa . i cant wait guys girl power we rule i wish everyone happiness after their surgeries
You guys are so lucky! I called just now (February) and got a consultation appointment for rhinoplasty for October! :-( so so sad. Do you think I should call some other time and see if anything comes up sooner?
Hello ladies. Glad to hear from all of you. Tight Tummy, are you getting your surgery done at Harlem Hospital? I would NEVER go outside the USA for surgery, big mistake!! If anything, I mean anything happens to you after your surgery outside the USA, guess what, no doctor here will want to touch you. At least here in the USA, you have laws to protect you. Cha, girl, you are getting a nose job, that is awesome to hear. Everyone here is usually getting lipo or breast enhancements/reductions. Are you getting your rhinoplasty done at Harlem Hospital and if so, how much is the estimated cost of the surgery? OMG, I am so excited for everyone, WooooHooo!!!
@newyorkcity gal ABSOLUTLEY IM GETTING IN DONE AT HARLEM HOSPITAL !!!!? ITS WITH THE CHIEF OF RESIDENCE IM SIKED AND HAPPY . MY CO - WORKER WENT TO D.R. FOR A MINNY TUMMY TUK IM SHAKING MY HEAD !!!! IM GETTING SMART LIPO GOOD BY FAT HELLO HEALTHY SEXXI?
tight tummy, that is great news. I hope to hear from you once you get your consultation, time flies and before you know it you will be getting your surgery done. In the mean time, keep yourself healthy by eating right and drinking lots of water. Looking forward to hearing from you, good luck.
yess maayum!!!! im eating fresh veggies and water vitamins yoga sometimes to relieve stress and foods god for the heart . it feel so good to eat healthy thank you so much for the wonderful advise. its been 8 years since my breast reduction .
tighttummy, that is great news. I am so happy for you! You are on the right path, continue on it.
thank you, besides i hear the docs wont touch if you dont try to lose a few pounds
Hi all! I went for my consultation on March 9th and Im scheduled for a tummy tuck and lipo for June 14th...so exctited! The doctors are wonderful, had to wait for almost 2 hours, but for $3,700 I couldve waited for 7 hours...haha!
you go gurl !!!!!@ mel my consultation is 5/26/2011 cant wait .
3,700 is not bad at all...i finally got through, my consultation is in Aughust. So I guess I should try to save from now but can they take payments..like I work but still dont know if Ill have that up front. Also after surgery is there a real number to call where for sure some one will pick up because after surgery, iam going to need to talk and if i have to go through what i went through to get this,Iam gonna be ticked the freak off!!
Hi tight tummy, don't think they take payments. The prices is very reasonable, I've gone to surgeons and they were charging me $11,000 for a tummy and lipo! I've been penny pinching and saving all my money...can't wait!
huh ? i didnt ask about payments wrong person hahahahahaha. i already know they want the money upfront
I have my consult on May 16 so excited and nervous
I called last week and got an appt for NOV???? WTF
hello ladies, I'd like to know if you had to do anything to make the appoiment over the phone. I'm asking because when I called 212-939-8190, the receptionist asked me if I had been there before and I said no, so she told me I should go to the 3rd floor to apen a medical record number, that the place is open mon-fri.
Please let me know if you had the same experience, otherwise maybe I'll try another time, perhaps with a diferent receptionist. I was also wondering if I can call Dr. Morrison's office, instead, but I dont know if it will be more expensive because that is his private clinic.
BTW, Thank you very much, newyorkcity gal for such helpful information!!!
Has anyone just gone in to have Breat Augumentation with a lift? (Mastoplexy) I see his prices are very reasonable like a lil over $3000 for both Lipo and Tummy Tuck but how much is it just to have your breasts done? Would it be more than $2500.
To the girl who asked the question about making the appts over the phone, I am a new patient also I actually had an appt scheduled for Monday 4/4/11 but I had to cxl and now I have to wait until 12/5/2011....wtf but I really think its worth the wait!! It was funny because when I called to cxl my appt to reschedule, some girl got on the phone and said the computer system is so filled with new patients that they didnt have enough room to add more and someone was supposed to call me back to reschedule. Nobody called so I just called again today and they told me the nest appt isnt until 12/5/2011. Which is cool with me because it will be right around income tax tome again....lol Initially the girl asked me if I had a medical number and I told her no (I'm a new patient) she just told me to arrive an hour early to register. So when you make your appt just go and hour early so you wont be there too long!! You can call and make an appt with Dr. Morrison office but I think you will pay a bit more because its at his clinic. You can call his office directly and find out but I think your best bet would be to go to harlem Hospital....It may be alot cheaper!!
Hi all, I had an appointment last year and when I went to my consultation they couldnt find me in the system. I had to reschedule and wait another 6 to 8 months. I strongly suggest that if you have an appoinment coming up that you call them ahead of time and make sure that youre being seen that day. Other than that, the doctors are wonderful and this is truly a blessing to be able to have plastic surgery at such great price! Oh, and thank you for this awesome forum :)
Sunshine,
Thank you very much, I just finished talking to the receptionist and she gave me an appoiment for dec. 12. such a long wait, but I'm glad I got it :)
I guess I have plenty of time to drop by an register if I want to. but thanks for the info, because as soon as I finished reading I called and she actually didn't ask me about the MR#
I also asked her if I could call every other time to check if anybody cancelled and she said yes. Hopefuly they will take the time and check if someone has canceled their app.
be well
Nice competition on plastic surgeon they have there, thanks for the information.
Hey everyone, I would like to know if anyone knows how much is a Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat Transfer) or if Mr. Morrison performs the procedure? Thanks for the feed back!!!
Excuse me. I meant Dr. Morrison.
I too would like to know the answer to shortstop's question- Any Butt lifts done there. I am super excited and scared. I saw Dr. Ofodile had a malpractice law suit aggainst him at one point and Dr. Morrison allegidly proformed a botched breast reduction. I don't know anyone who has had plastic surgery and mine in sceduled for July 19, 2011. I love to here some feedback from people who are familiar with these surgeons and there procedures. I'm having lipo and tummy tuck. I feel funny that nowhere on the web are there any before and after pics. Also, I am a black women. How are the scars?
@ wan2Bbomshell. I just called and the receptionist said she don't think they perform brazilian butt lifts but I can ask the doctor @ my consultation.
Thanks Shortstop :)
Thanks for this info! I am calling tomorrow, lol.
I'll update with any info regarding when my appointment will be scheduled.
My appointment is Jan 5th 2012! :(
WTF, I know...lol.. But, i figure that it's okay since I wanted to get my surgery done during that time anyway(preferrably mid-december as I'm done with classes then, however).
I asked if they will offer the same pricing as I saw on the flyer and she confirmed YES(whew, thank goodness).
I suggest when calling to make an appointment, you confirm the pricing as well, if that's part of your conccern.
Good luck All!
@ wan2Bbomshell. Your welcome!!!
Thanks so much Shortstop for that info. If it wasn't for this blog I would never know any of this info. Can't wait until my pre op appointment June 23rd. I'm nervous as hell because I still have weight to lose before my surgery. Wish me good luck yall :)
Your welcome. I have to lose some weight before I have my surgery. I'm in the gym 4 times a week & I try to watch what I eat. Whatever your doing to lose weight keep it up & you'll be @ your goal in no time. Keep everyone posted & good luck.
Very nervous and excited about my tummy tuck and lipo on July 19. I will let everyone know how it went. BTW- didn't someone say that they had a consult or was having a consult at the NY Ear, Eye and Throat Infirmary for a fat transfer to the Buttocks? If so, how did it go? Best of luck folks.
This is a great forum. I have a family member who had a tt done last year at Harlem Hospital. She looked great! I did a search for the number and found this blog :) I called early in the morning and I got through. My co worker called and she got through also. Our appts are scheduled for Aug 4. One more month. I can't wait.
Hey, I had my consultation on July, 11 @ the eye ear & thoat infirmary & it went well. I just have to lose 10 pounds & then I can schedule my surgery. My next appt is September 2 & if I'm 10 pounds lighter he'll schedule my surgery. Wish me luck!!!
sept 26th is my consultation...wooohoo!!!
Goodluck Shortstop! I didn't know there was a weight requirement. I started going to the qym a few weeks ago. I want to loose a few pounds before my consultation. Does anyone know how soon surgery can be scheduled after the consultation?
it can be done 2 weeks after consultation.
has anyone that previously posted they had a consultation actually go? and how was the procedure?
Hi!
Has anyone gotten any info if any brazilian butt lifts are done here?! I'm looking to schedule asap but if anyone has any pricing/info that would be great!
Hi!
Has anyone gotten any info if any brazilian butt lifts are done here?! I'm looking to schedule asap but if anyone has any pricing/info that would be great!
So the answer to everyone's question- Do they perform Brazilian Butt- Lifts and the answer is yes. Yeah! But, you have to be considered a candidate for it. Meaning that you you have the right fat in the right places. Allegedly it is only $500. in addition to any procedure that you are already having. I postponed my surgery so that I could have it done with my tummy tuck and lipo. My new consult is 10/6 so I will let everyone no the word :) Hope that helps anyone. For anyone who has any procedure. Update the group. Best of luck to everyone looking to have a killer body. lol
Yeah!!!! Thanks Want2bbomshell:) ! So glad u answered that question. IM so excited! I can't wait for my consultation. August 4 :).
@ mom5times, please let us know what they quote you and for which procedures. thanks!
I'll do the same with my consult on sept 26th
Hey everybody! At the eye ear & throat hostpital their going to charge me 3,700 for 4 areas lipo & 500 to transfer the fat to my buttock. I'm getting my upper & lower part of my stomach done, sides, & my back done. Even thou its a different hospital but its the same kind of program (Affordable Plastic Surgery) every teaching hospital has one. Just to name a few Mt.Sinai, Lenox Hill, Beth Isreal, etc. The only reason why I went with EET hospital because my consultation was scheduled sooner than harlem, I did a lot of research & I came across good reviews. Just a little FYI, if some of you ladies need to lose a little weight start now because I could have scheduled my surgery during my consultation but he wanted me to lose weight. My doctor said when you're a little over weight your BMI is slightly high, if your BMI is high it can cause complications during surgery. Example of BMI if a person is 30 years old, weighs 180 pounds & 5 feet 2 inches they would consider that person over weight & that persons BMI would be high. That person shouldn't weigh no more than 138 & of course the person wouldn't be able to have the surgery done. Every doctor is different but I'm glad he told me what I needed to do to bring my BMI down (lose some damn weight) lol. My next appt with my doctor is september 2 & that will be the day I schedule my surgery. I hope this helps & GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!!
This is for whoever wanted to know the prices for lipo. If you want 2 areas lipo $2700 and 4 areas lipo $3700. Even thou I'm having my surgery done at a different hospital but its still the same program (Affordable Plastic Surgery). If anyone else wants to know the pricing on other procedures, I'll be happy to help.
:) I will keep u posted. I have to loose some weight if that's the requirement for all surgeries. Thanks for the info Shortstop.
@mom5times,Your welcome! :)
Hey my consultation is sept 1st . I want a tummy tuck and lipo in my back. I'm hoping I get an appointment this year after reading this blog . If anyone has had this surgery already @ harlem hospital please give me some info:)
@ shortstop:
what's considered an area of liposuction?
i.e. if I wanted to get my entire abdominal region done & my entire back is that considered two or 4(+) areas by NYEEI?
Exactly! If you were getting your entire abdominal region done that's considered one area & your whole back is also considered one area.
You're kidding?! I thought it may be considered more areas b/c other surgeons don't consider the back, for instance, as one area. But that's very good to know. Only thing i'm hesitant about now regarding NYEEI is the person who would be performing my surgery....Fellows perform the surgeries and that's kind of intimidating for me.
Fellows are the ones doing the surgeries but remember their in the fellowship program for years and there's always a plastic surgeon in the room with them. Once they finish the fellows program, the most of them go right into private pratice. If I'm not mistaken their residence for 8 years so that's a whole lot of pratice. Even at harlem hospital their surgeries are performed by fellows. Dr. Morrison has his own practice and he can not accommodate every patient (unless you have money) and if we had that kind of money we wouldn't have our surgeries done at teaching hospitals. Remember thats why its called (Affordable Plastic Surgery) because its done by Fellows or Residence which ever one people want to call them. I know it seems like a risk but s**t can happen even at a Park Ave private practice. The only thing you can do is research & pray.
Ah, I see. Thanks shortstop!
I think 'll be calling NYEEI to schedule a consultation since my appt for the Harlem clinic is in sept anyway. I might go with NYEEI bc I'll be able to get the surgery done way sooner than if I go with Harlem.
decisions, decisions ._. lol
No problem! If you need the number, I could give it to you.
I can't wait -__________________-
Good Luck!!!
I have the # b/c I previously scheduled a consultation but never made it :/...So I'll be calling tomorrow to see if I can schedule one asap.
When is your surgery scheduled?
December 1 it seems far but its really not. I could have scheduled it sooner but I wanted my weight & money to be right. Lol
Cool! I think I might schedule the actual surgery for sept 27th(If slot is open) since Wednesday-Monday I'll be off from school anyway.I know I won't be completely healed at all but I'll be able to move around, so that's what matters.
I'm calling now to schedule a consultation.lol
my consultation is aug 30th-12:30pm @ NYEEI....I couldve gone on the 18th but I'll be in Connecticut for two weeks.
I'm excited...I think I'll do both consultations(sept 26th @ Harlem) and compare environment, cleanliness, cost, etc, etc and see which is best for me.
Keep both consultations & see which one is best for you.
Good Luck!
Do they perform butt implants? I dont qualify for the butt lift but I'm very interested in the implants (only) so if anyone knows please let me know!! Thanks!
Is it an actual surgeon who performs the surgeries @ the Harlem clinic?
I had my consultation today. There were several scheduling problems with patients today. Nevertheless I was seen and I inquired about the butt lift. They said it would cost an additional $2000. The doctors didn't seem to have definite information about how much fat would stay in that area(due to my size 150lbs.) So I don't feel secure with getting that proceedure done.Not worth the extra money. My proceedure is scheduled for November. There were no apppointments available for anytime soon. The price for tummytuck and lipo was $3700. The price is great! I can't wait.
I called March of 2011. My consult is Aug 29th. Does anyone know how soon I may get an appt for tummy tuck surgery?
I had a consultation last thursday (08/14) and the next date available it was December but I decided for January as my job is very busy at that date!!
I'm so excited but a little bit scared lol
Good lucky to everyone!!
How much time usually takes between consultation and surgery ?
What type of lipo they have ? I'm 5'4'' and 140 lbs.
hi i had a consultation for today august 29, 2011, i got there and was disappointed,when i got up to desk, i was told that Dr. Morrison was not seeing any patients today he went on to say that i could make another appt. the closest appt. was for Nov ,17,2011. i took it im sooooo ready for this tummy tuck and breast implants. is there anyone who had an apppt for aug, 29,2011 and it was cancelled? please let me know.
hi ladies,
is anyoneawre if the doctors do lapband surgery and the price.
Hey, Ms thinking about surgery. Right next to the plastic surgery clinic at Harlem Hospital is weight loss surgery clinic as well. I think you could have insurance pay for it if. If you have medicaid, I think they would pay for a lap band and the tummy tuck. I'm not exactly sure but it's worth looking into.
My appt is Oct 13th can't waiti guess after reading everyone posti found out a lot tummy and lipo 3,700 and to put the fat in ur butt is only 500 wow what I didnt read was do u pay to stay at the hospital after its done and if so how much more is it
Mine is on Sept 26th-finally!
Will give all the deets after consult
All I want are breast implants I am a A-cup and wanna get a C or D.. how much would that procedure cost?
Please can you tell me for how long do I have to stay in the hospotal after a tummy tuck?
My consult in on Tues! :D
Will come back with all of the details
My consult is on Monday(tomorrow)**
I can't believe it. It's my first ime ever having a physical consult. Super excited
...I hope they mark me up so that I can see what will come off (lipo) if I decide to go with the surgery
WHERE ELSE DO THEY OFFER THIS AFFORDABLE PLASTIC SURGURY. I CALLED THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE BLOG SAID THEY HAD NO MORE APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS YEAR AND FOR ME TO CALL BACK IN DECEMBER. PLEASE SOMEONE, ANYONE
I want get liposuction in the following areas, buttocks, back and abdomen. Where can I go to get this done under $4000? I've been on so many websites of clinic here in NY and the lowest price I find is $6500 to $8000.
@ New york city girl.... why are you promoting Harlem hospital and Dr Morrison??? I love the fact that you are helping Women all over that are interested in plastic surgery... but Im just wondering. I read the blogs and everyone here has just made appointments and is interested in surgery, but no one has given a conclusion on their surgery
@Shelly mo..... I've been wondering that too. My niece had her surgery there. They did a nice job on her. Has anyone had there surgery done on this forum?
@ mom5times... did your niece have her surgery with Dr Morrison?? how did it go?? Im just wondering... because when I go on his site, the gallery is UNDER CONSTRUCTION... How much did he charge her for surgery??? I would like to speak to someone who has actually had surgery at Harlem Hospital
I went in for my consult & I was scheduled for Fri, May eleventh, 2012. That's how booked Dr. Morrison is. :/
@mom5times i see that you strongly believe in DR.Morrison can we see some before and after pictures I was once a person who did not even consider doing plastic surgery but as I look at my belly it would look much better with out the excess fat and I work out it's not helping his site does not show pictures and with today's technology it should be up since you speak highly of him help us out!!! I would like to book a consultation with him asap!!!
I have a friend who had her tuck done by morrison at his private clinic and she looks amazing!! My husbands aunt had a breast lift and she is very happy with the results. Perky and no scar!
@cher47myworld...I haven't been able to get online. My niece won't agree to putting her pictures up. Dr Preminger did her surgery. She looks great. My surgery is scheduled for late November. I have my pre operation appointment next week. Can't wait.
I had my surgery less than a week ago. Feeling great. Everyone could see a difference immediately. I can't wait to take the bandages off. I'm a little sore but I'm able to get around and walk up stairs. :)
hey @mom5times when you say lopi what do you refer too just area? im being charged somewhere else 3500 for a tummy tuck and lipo on both arms
im sorry what i meant to say was do you mean just one area of lipo or multiple for that price and where you sked to lose weight
I didn't have to lose any weight. He did liposuction on tummy waist and back on each side and the bra area.
@ mom5times who did your surgery?? And how much did they charge?? I went for my counsel on Nov 2011 and he told me I had to lose 20 pounds. I'm 5'5 180 pds. I have a follow up January 3. He is. charging me 3400 tummy tuck Lipo and a 1 day stay in the hospital.
i was being charged 3500 to do a tummy tuck and a lipo on both arms in another place and shelly when you say lipo where is he doing it
Dr. OFodile did my surgery at Harlem Hospital. I'm 5'3 148. I paid A little over $3700.
That's great... so you was in the proper weight requirements. He said he wanted me down to 160 **sad face** so I'm looking towards Feb 2012. I'm going to Lennox Hill hospital in Manhattan. Couldn't get an appt with Harlem, so I did some research and decide on them. So far so good. What are you using for the scars??? Try silicone strips sold in CVS
shelly so in lenno hill they also have the same low prices? how much lipo for that price
My doctor said that the Lipozene is automatic when he does the tummy tuck... Google Lenox Hill some of the best doctors come out of that hospital. 3400 is tummy tuck and liposuction for the back and a 1 night stay in the hotel directly across the street with a 24hr nurse
Ok, so I finally had my appointment yesterday after waiting for almost 6mo, I saw Dr. Morrison who was a very nice man I might add but he was one of the realist Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeons I saw. I used to be a 40DD but I lost 145lbs and with that weight lost I lost my breast as well, I'm more like a deflated A :( So anyways when I saw Dr. Morrison yesterday I told him I wanted to be a C or D cup but he told me because I hardly any tissue that he could only recontruct my breasts to an A, :( how disappointed I was!! Then he came up with another solution to have "Bilateral Hypomastia" which means I have to have tissue inserted. The reason is without the tissue being inserted it wouldnt look natural and the implant would eventually pertrude from the skin. I was so impressed because out of the other 6 Drs I saw no other Dr. ever told me that so I apprreciated Dr. Morrison for keeping it real!! :) With that being said the price is alot cheaper than if I had went to a private clinic. They tell you $3700 but that doesnt include the implant. If you want Saline than its $500 per breast or if you choose Silicone its $800 per breasts plus you have to pay seperate for the Anesthesia! My iniatal cost of $3700 is now $8,100!! yes that alot more but for me being that I have to have tissue added as well as a lift with implants, all the other Dr's were charging me like $10,000 to $12,000. The only down fall is that Dr. Morrison is booked, my Surgery date is not until 7/27/11 (always done on a Fri) so if anyone out there who doesnt have alot of scar tissue because of extreme weight loss or if you'de had a mastectomy than expect to pay alot more for breast augmentation! I cant weight for my day to arrive, I'll keep you posted!!! :)
shelly what is your drs name if you dont mind telling me lol he is pretty cheap id like to see if maybe i can book a consultation with him and how long was the wait for you it seems like morrison is just too long to wait my app is for dec 16 n from what im reading it seems ill be booked for the summer or does anyone know if they book you according to procedure
I called and was given an appointment the following week. I have my follow up in Jan 2012 because I had to lose 20 pounds . My doctor's name is Dr Lefkowitz.
Dequeen why don't you try another surgeon. Preminger did my niece's surgery and dr ofodile (he is the director of plastic surgery at harlem hospital)
did an excellent job on me. I dont know if there are any other surgeons there. Maybe you can get an earlier appointment with someone else. I took a chance and I'm pleased.
thank you girls soo much i definately will do that did they charge you for the consultation at harlem mom5times and girls i was also curious does the price include the meds and anesthesia etc
Everything was covered except meds to take home. I had to use my insurance. They don't except insurance at their pharmacy. It was 130 .took prescriptions to an outside pharmacy. They charged a little over $8 with my insurance for pain meds and antibiotics.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that today is my appointment...Finally!! yaee lol
so yeah I'll let you know aal the information I got fromm Dr. Morrison.
I'm going for Breast Augmentation and Liposuccion of the abdomen and arms and maybe thights if posible ;D
ooh I'm algo going to inquire him about the fat tranfer to the buttocks, I mean, since that fat would go in the garbage why not ^-^
ohh if anyone has a question let me know cuz maybe I can ask him and tell u later.
bye, bye!
doe anyone know if there is weight requiewmwnt
what is the number for Lenox hill, Beth Israel, and Mount Sinai to schedule a consultaion.
@ Tammy
The # to Lenox Hill Plastic Surgery Clinic is 212 605 2741 or 212 605 3780.
The # to Mt Sinai Hospital (Dubin Breast Center) is 212 241 3300.
I know for a fact at lenox Hill Hospital, you can get in right away. I called last week for am appt and they gave me an appt for a few days later. I believe their prices may be the same but not sure didnt actually schedule the consult. Mt. Sinai I didnt know they had a program for constructive plastic surgery clinic (so thanks for sharing but their # is 212 241 3300. (their open from 9am to 5pm)
good Luck!!
I just called the Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Mt. Sinai but you have to pay $276 for a consult, which I was told will go towards the procedure or you will get your $ back if you decide not to. I just scheduled my appt and they gave me Feb 7th @ 1pm. (they only consult in the afternoon). The number you have to call for the clinic is 212 659 8554 which is a call center. They dont have too many answers and like the rest they do not discuss prices over the phone. I had to make 3 phone calls because I was getting conflicting info and some of the ladies are rude and nasty. I spoke with a women named Maria who was very helpful and knowledgeable. I'll keep you posted and let you know how the consult went. If anybody went to a consult for breast augmentation here please let me know how it went!!
Thanks!!
i read each and every one of these post.. thank you so much ladies.. well i've been thinking to get a breast augumentation for a long long time. I am 24 now and ready.. My mother got her breast done at Harlem Hospital with Dr.Morrison several years back and she loves them. So I will also call and do a consultation. Thanks for the motivation ladies. ill keep you posted.
I know these places are supose to be affordable but what about if you don't have 3000 to 4000 cash does any one except financing such as care credit mom of twins and 4 more a total of six can anyone help with information that can help me.
@ lily pad No they only except cash or credit card. Maybe you should wait till you receive your return. With 6 kids it should be hefty... good luck
Thanks ladies for all the info, but I called harlem hosp to confirm my Jan 16 th appt and was told i needed to pay $375 for consultation. Is tht true and where do i need to go, pls give the address and Floor # thanks a mil
@ Petra I'm not sure why Harlem Hospital told you had to pay the $375. Did you present your insurance card? Maybe thats the price with out Ins. I have a $20 copay with my insurance and they told me they would bill me. If thats the case then you should ask them if the $375 goes towards the actual fee! I know that Mt. Sinai charge a consult fee like that but it goes towards the surgery costs. If you go all they way back to the top of this page you will get the full address and number. You should also call them back perhaps and spk to aother operator and see if you get the same info! Your not actually going directly through the main hospital your going around the corner to the side to the Ronald Brown Building. Just call them back they will give you all the details.
Good luck!!
@Slim476, thanks -:) I saved up to finance my surgery, I have medicaid, but i know they don't pay for cosmetic surgery. Only if ur morbidly obese, but my issue is my stomach. 7mnths after having my beautiful baby girl, my belly is still here-:(. i lost the weight, but the belly. I would like a lipo/mini tummy tuck. Would I hve to stay overnite in a hosp?? Thanks!! I guess it will be expensive, seeing tht I hve to finance everything
I had a consultation today at Lenox hill and only had to pay 50
what are you getting done snad how much did they charge for your procedure? i have my consultation appt. at lenox hill hospital on january 19, 2012
@Petra, your right no insurance including medicaid will pay for any cosmetic surgery unless you can find a Dr that knows how to go around the loops you'll to get you approved you will have to pay out of pocket. They do not except credit care or any loans, strickly cash or money order! If you want to go through a loan then you will have to go to a private practice but with that you will b paying topm dollar. To answer your question regarding over night stay with lipo/tummy tuck, I'm not too sure bcuz I consulted for breast augmentation but trust me I feel you I used to wea a size 18 but now I'm a size 6/7 so I lost everything believe it or not. Went from a 40DD to a deflated A so you already know I need some minor work done I'm tired of stuffing and repositioning, for real!! Only thing I can suggest is to write down all of your questions and if you can make an appt becuz @ Harlem Hospital only the Dr can answer most of the questions. Cant spk for the other clinics but I know for sure thats how it is at Harlem!
hey ladies, does anyone no a name of a plastic surgent at lenox hill teaching hospital? ive been reading alot about dr. morrison what about lenox hill?
I just had my tummy tuck and lipo of the flants done by the chief Dr. Ofodile. My stomach is flat and my shape id pretty however I'm in swell hell :( The swelling is now joke but I'm doing well 3 days post op. I'm taking extra strength Tynenol for pain and antibiotics, walking with a little hunch but overall feeling ok :)
I called Frid to confirm my Jan 16th appt and someone told me, I'm not on file. I feel like it's a waste of time, they are so unprofessional and they never give you a straight ans. I'll try someplace else. I have my baby to care for, I can keep running around and then being told my appt is canceled. I had a feeling this would happen!!
hey i want to have liposculture and fat transfer to the buttocks however these prices u guys are saying is great but has anyone seen a photo gallery or anything for mt sinai,or lenox hill i was thinking about going to DR because i know in new york there is a limit to the fat they can take out DR TENDS TO MAKE U SMALLER but i understand spanish but i dont speak it very well i dont feel comfortable going out the country alone. SO DO THESE HOSPITAL HAVE PHOTOS OF THEIR WORK ON A WEBSITE OR AT THE OFFICE?
Hello... I've been reading all the blogs & i'm happy that I was able to get to this web-site. i'm a mom 4kids I want to get done... Tummy-tuck,lipo-back,side,arms... I would like to know does any one have pic to share? Thanks
Hello.... I called harlem hospital to make an,appt 2day they gave me an appt for march 1 but I asked the girl for the conlsultation fee & she,said she didn't know the price. Can some plz tell me cause I don't to go to my appt w/o enough money!!! Thx
@ Marlo, my insurance paid for my initial consultation. I think the charge there after is $378. Not exactly sure. lol! You do have to pay for the surgery money order though. Good luck on your consult. You actually got a date that is pretty quick. I had to wait 6 months before I got mine. I just had a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks done last week. They did a great job and I can't wait for all the swelling to be down and I can work out to get the best results. Hope that helps :)
@wan2Bbomshell thank u 4 responding to my ? if u don't mine can u,tell me how much they charged u? I would like to know & with what Doctor? Thk u
@ Marlo-I think it was something just shy of $3800.The doctor was the chief of Plastic Surgery @ Harlem Hospital Dr. Ofodile. I am 12 days post op and love the results! I'm healing very well and going out and everything. Very excited to be able to work out in about 4 weeks. Hope this helps :)By the way. Anyone considering to have this surgery should definately not smoke! I saw on someone's blog that smoking makes the body reject the sutures and causes additional scare tissue and necrosis of the tissue.
@wan2Bbombshell. Glad to hear everything went well for u. Dr. Ofodile did my surgery as well. (11/22/11) Great results as well. Went back to work after 2 weeks. Scar is healing nicely. Enjoy your new body!
@Wan2Bbombshell. Hi its me marlo I have to say thank u so much, i'm getting ready for my appt... I can't wait i'm glad to know that there are good people out there. Thank,u for not being selfish & for b give in me info. I'm loosing weight & trying to quit smoking. Thank u for u.
@Mom5times-Glad to here you're doing well :) How soon did you start any scar treatment if any. What did you use? Is the swelling still significant?
@Anonymous- You are very welcome.
@ wan2Bbombshell. I started scar treatment after the drains were removed. I'm using vitamin E. Silicone strips, and mederma. I alternating each. I appears to be working well. Still have swelling on my hips. I hope it goes away by my next appointment in March. But no real complaints. I'm pleased with the results. My stomach is flat. :) :)
@ mom5times- Thanks a bunch. I'm going to look into where I can find silicone strips. I'd like to have my body right by the summer ;)
@wan2Bbombshell. No problem. I'm glad I found this hub. Information has been really helpful to. Keep in touch.
hello does anyone know the weight requirements
i have my breast augumentation scheduled for march 9th, i was told the cost is 4, 750 is that the normal price....has anyone gotten that procedure, and how much did it cost?
I am looking into going to harlem hospital to get just breast augumnetation, I wanted to kow the cost and what payment options do the have if you have a lump sum up front @softesplanearth137 where did you go to get that estamite??
Hi guys, I had my consult this wk at Lennox Hill Plastic Surgery, cost for lipo + tummy total estimate is $4400. You mUST stay one nite at a Hotel across the Hosp, thts where they hve an after care center, u'll hve ur own nurse during ur stay. $4400 total cost for everthing, pre-op and post op pics, consult surgery and one nite stay at the hotel. I will hve mine done, but my babydoll is my no# priority and I hve no-one to care for her, my hubby works...so I hve to wait until July 2012-:(( Lennox Hills is giving me good Vibes -:))
After reading everyones comments I sooo want to do this! Wondering how much it'll be for lipo on my sides (waist) and tummy then have fat transfered to my bottom at Lennox Hill? Someone help :/
petra how much do you weigh and why that price another girl got a lipo and tummy tuck for 3800 at lennox hill in this blog did they ask you to lose weight and once again does anyone know about the weight requirements i have the money but i dont want to make the trip if i have to go back home and lose weight first
I had my first consultation in July 2011 but the dr.morrison said I had to lose weight but for my next visit in December there were only down 10 pounds, he gave up in February 2012 to lose 10 more and is a requirement they have normal weight for your height, they told me was $ 3700 for tummy tuck and lipo
I had a breast reduction done in 12/01 by Dr. Morrison and it changed my life!!! but I do notice that my nipples are diff size and his artistry wasnt that precise and one boob is bigger than another but i think only i can notice that. My scars did not heal properly but I think thats an individual trait I have. . I had medicaid so didnt have to pay for my breast reduction.My consultations where all in his private practice but I dont think he took his time with me. I am thankful for the breast reduction because my back was really hurting and the operation helped alot. after all these years I am deciding to get a tummy tuck but I doubt I will be going to Dr. Morrison.
Hello I called Mt Sinai for consultation and was told it would cost 275 and that it will not be reimbursed or applied to the surgery. I opted not to book the consultation. But I did make an appt for lenox hill which will cost me 50 consultation fee. I need a tummy tuck and lipo because I had a breast reduction 10 years ago I plan not to touch them yet.Anyone else had the same response from Mt Sinai??

Hey ladies I'm 5'8.5" and was 200 lbs when I went on my consultation. He said I was borderline and thus 15 weight loss needed. Hope this info helps you. @ mailbusunshyne @ 5'9" 180 you should be good, he wants me @ 185.
@cmans, thanks for the info. what was your doctor name?
Thanx so much @cmans :). My appt is March 6 @ Lennox also. What was the name of your doc? How soon after u lose the weight can you schedule a surgery date?
@ NYHOPE I'm dying to find a doctor to do my breast reduction with medicaid as well...can you tell me which insurance you have specifically as not all of them cover. I went to have a consult with another doctor and told me medicaid doesn't cover for the surgery...plz help =/
Hey teenyc, and malibusunshyne! Might spell wrong but I believe it's Dr. Lefkowitz. When I go back I can schedule, provided I have lost the weight. From what I understand on Tuesdays the fellows are in the clinic. Which is good as they have a more experience. Have you guys checked out realself.com. The girls on there are so helpful, gives you an idea of what to expect - before, during, and after -. Check it out! Keep me posted!
Ok Cmans thanx! Your the greatest! Ill def check the site also. Im soo excited and so nervous wanted this so for so long now :)
@Elil I had surgery with medicaid over 10 years ago. My breasts were sagging big time almost down to my belly LOL
so Dr Morrison did ask for approval for the surgery and it was approved by medicaid dont know how it works now since this was in 2002. Just research and believe that it can be done if its something medically necessary for your back
@malibusunshyne I know what you mean. I'm so excited..... but nervous @ same time. I just can't wait to be able yoo wear a fitted shirt and feel comfortable in it.
@cmans3, thanks a bunch for giving me the name of your doctor. im going to schedule with him. i'll keep you posted. good luck!!!
When you ladys post the prices of Lipo,tummy tuck,and breast augmentation, is this the overall cost of every thing included or just the Dr.s fee ,or does that include the Anastasia as well? What is the price for a breast augg. In full for Harlem hospItal and in Lenox Hospital

HI I WANNA GET LIPO AND FAT TRANSFER IM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT GETTING IT JUST WANTED TO NO IF ANYBODY HAS BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS
I have read all the information and everyone's comments. I have read all the information about the hospital and the famous Dr. Morrison. I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES OF TUMMY TUCKS, BREAST AUGMENTATIONS, LIPOSUCTION OR BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFTS. There are a thousand blogs of consultations and blah blah blah but no pictures. I would like to see the results of some of the women who actually had the surgeries done. For the ladies who do not want to post pictures why not? If it were me and the surgery turned out great, I would be showing the world how great I look. So with that said, maybe someone with great results will finally post their pictures....Today.
@ therealstiletto I can understand your frustration. I don't know why they won't post, with all thses comments someone has had to have the procedure done.
i would like to see the pics as well, my.consult.is this thursday and if i go thru with the tt and lipo i will def post my pics
Does anyone know if Harlem does fat transfer to the breast? And how much?
omg i call n now they say to call the last week of march...is like they take forever or not space for appt
anyone know how much for breast augmentation ..please i need that info ..thank u
@babyliz its anywhere between 1600 and 1700 depending on which implants you choose but that price is not including hospital stay or doctors fee so you will probably spend around 2,500-3000.....my second consult for tt is march 15 at lenox hill
and I lost 23 of the 30 pounds I was suppose to lose so I'm excited hoping to hear good news
morning ladies!! sooo excitied rite now, im actually sittn in the waitn room.at lennox hill.ready for my consult.wish me luck!
@malibusunshyne Congratulations. I can't wait to hear what they say.
I too had a consult at Lennox Hill this AM an boy am I glad I did. I initially had and appt at Harlem Hospital about 2 mo ago and Dr Morrison quoted me no lie $7000. $2000 of that had to go to some tissue that had to be iserted bcuz due to my weight loss I lost all the tissue mass in my breast so lets just say the quote would have been $5000. I had my quote with Dr. Parakh at Lennox and she was great, she answered all of my questions but the best part is the quote. For the same exact procedure she quoted me just under $3900, so I'm saving like $3100, thats a huge savings and I dont have to wait to schedule the appt. At Harlem my appt was scheduled for July 28th. I think I will be sticking with Lennox Hospital. I'll keep you guys possted!!
@choclit i also had an amazing experience this morning. mt consult was with.Dr. Lefkowitz (who is so wonderful) he quoted me a price of 3408.00 for a tummy tuck and lipo. i thought that price was amazing!!! but here is the kicker ladiea Lennox hosp has a MaNDATORY 1 night stay at an hotel across the.street that is an additional 1100 bucks! they also have a MANDATOry platic surgery photo fee in which u must pay 150 bucks or higher and go get before and after photos of.your surgery area so my grand total for everything is just over 4600 bucks which still.isnt too too bad. i saved up around that much so im actually going to book my surgery tomorrow. hope my inside scoop helped u ladies out a bit :)
Congrats ladies. @ malibusunshyne did you go get your pictures done yet?
@cmans hey luv! no ill be.going oon monday actually :) im aiming for a surgery.date at the end.of the mnth woot woot!
Good Morning Everyone, I need the telephone number to Lenox hill ASAP, I'm a mother of 2, I have lost 56 lbs on my own, through dieting, juicing and some exercise, but have some stubborn belly skin and fat that just wont go away. I also have the saggiest boobs almost touching my belly button and would like to get it taken cared of. I have gone through many consultations just to be disapointed at how high the cost and being unable to afford it unless I got and do it in my country of origin which I cant do at this time. Please anyone I looked up lenox hill online, but do not have the number to their plastic surgery department, please, please help me!!
@swetsha. 212 605-3741
@nae Thank you!! I called and they seem to be closed but monday it will be the first thing I do =)
All these great consults and prices but still no one is willing to post before or after pictures. Seems kind of fishy to me. I think I will stick with realself.com
That will be great malibusunshyne. I go back tomorrow for another consult. I'm not down the total 15 he wanted, but we will see. I'm aiming for the surgery to be done end of May.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF LENOX HILL DOES THE FAT TRANSFER TO THE BUTT?
Ok everyone so I had my second consult today I lost 26 of the 30lbs they wanted me to lose and would u believe they wanted to reschedule me for another consult for 4 lil pounds..but I wasn't having it!!!! I fought for my Damn tt appointment and I got it!!!! I've worked too hard! Anyway he quoted me 3000 for a tt and and Lipo 1200 for other fees and a extra 1000 for the overnight hospital stay...I was confused cause it seems like the price keeps changing bit either way I'm excited and ready aiming for surgery mid April000
Congrats nae.. That's around the price I got quoted from Lenox Hill. I scheduled my surgery for end of May.
@cmans3 you need to lose the 15 pounds he wants because I have to lose 10 pounds and did not want to schedule surgery for me
After taking pics and having consultation with doctor, I can't schedule my surgery. doctor never answers phone, no matter how messages I leave. Anyone knows why?
@leslieq are u consulting with Lennox Hill?
So I've had my consult and my surgery is scheduled for 4/2012.
My fee is 4700.00 for breast lift and augmentation. Very excited and ready to get this done
@ renny where r u getting it done at?
Hi im looking to get a breast augumentation with saline and lipo on my waist and back how much are the costs and are they done together?.
I'm really nervous because I had a lipo done 3 years ago and still wasn't satisfied and also am watching my weight I'm 5'3" 150 medium frame. do they perform these together?
hey ladies! well 1st off congratulations to all who had their surgery done & good luck to all getting surgery done :) I am actually wanting to get a Full Tummy tuck & silicone Breast Implants.... i called harlem hospital, they are booked and theres no spots for a consultation. Im going to try lenox hill hospital...does anyone know how much the TT & Breast implants will cost there? I saw 2 different doctors names on different posts on here, 1 doctor for lenox hill is Dr. Lefkowitz, the other is Dr. Parakh.... so please ladies help me out here if u have the price for the combination of both procedures. Also if anybody has some before and after photos, you can email them to me @ kellylos7889@gmail.com .... thnks :)
Still waiting on a surgery date I'm suppose to receive a call from the doc at lenox hill tod
ay lets hope its something soon the weather is getting nice :-)
OK my doc finally called me back my appointment for surgery is on may 16th my friend is on may 15th we are both so excited :-) ...ladies if your having a hard time getting a surgery date you have to keep
calling leave your name and stay on them and someone will get back to you..four weeks until my big day going hard in the gym starting now!!!
can someone give me a name to someone I can call or the actual number I have called the number listed and they are either bsing or they really don't know. I was bounced to a million people and to no avail. I want to get pricing and an actual appt to get my surgery started. I called the number listed and they sent me to dentistry to a ms. brody who is so lost she told my friend its 15,000 for a liposculture. Thats ridiculous and definately wrong so Id appreciate a direct number to the plastic surgery center or someone who knows the prices. thanks
hey queennefretiti here's the number for lenox hill, just keep in mind they are about to start new rotations. So it will be all new Dr.'s in June 212-605-3741. Good luck!

@rosy913 when I called the lady told me no over the phone bit when I asked my doc at my consult she told me yes they do Fay graphing but they only do one procedure at a time so I'm sticking to my tt
ALSO HAS ANYONE DOES THERE SURGERY AT NYEE
Does anyone know how I can speed up my weight lost I'm at a stand still right now I need to drop 6 lbs fast by my consult on Thursday that's five days from now
Hey teenyc, and malibusunshyne! Might spell wrong but I believe it's Dr. Lefkowitz. When I go back I can schedule, provided I have lost the weight. From what I understand on Tuesdays the fellows are in the clinic. Which is good as they have a more experience. Have you guys checked out realself.com. The girls on there are so helpful, gives you an idea of what to expect - before, during, and after -. Check it out! Keep me posted!
I lost a lot of weight prior to my surgery but ended up being 182 at 5 ft 6 in. I think my doc wanted me to lose a bit more but I was ready. I lost that weight on my own without surgery or diet pills. My tt is great. Most of the swelling is gone but it still there. I'm 6 weeks post op and can't wait for 4 months post op to do ab workouts. Hang in there ladies. The pay off is good :)
HEY LADIES!!!!! Found this page a few hours ago and it definately has changed my life already! I been interested in getting a tummy tuck and lipo on the flanks. I was thinking about going to D.R or COsta Rica but im a little hesitant traveling out of the USA. Then i found this!!! Im looking to get my surgery within the next two months or so. I already have 3000 saved up so im truely praying the prices you ladies are given are accurate. I called Harlem Hosp and was told to call back in March due to a full schedule for Feburary. Does anyone have the number for Lenox or Mount Sinai? I kind of dont want to wait and would like a consulation nxt week if possible. You ladies inspire me! Keep reaching your goals!
Hi, I'm 5'5" and wt. 180lbs do I need to lose weight to get a tummy tuck?

**********FYI********** Forgot to mention, the call center will not give you the direct # to the clinic itself. You have to go through the call center!!!!!!
