Thank you Greentealael!

Im researching, and coming to Miami might be the best option. In Charlotte Ive had quotes in the 16K range… for a tiny tuck. Seems like Miami has very skilled surgeons at more affordable prices.

Extremely more affordable and highly skilled if you choose the right surgeon. Miami is a high volume plastics hub (like Dominican Republic, Colombia [highly recommend Medellin] and Mexico), so these surgeons may see more patients in their lifetimes than others. They do tend specialize in a style (vixen, pinup, lush and full bodied etc) but they will work with your particular frame just be very specific what you want.

How do you figure out what style the specialize in?

I am about 2 hours below the OP, in SC but close to Charlotte and getting quoted high craziness...

What kind of things did you ask or look for when researching surgeons?

Usually if the surgeon has a social media presence you’ll be able to find out if they have a specific style (or not). It’s not always advertised as a style by the surgeon themselves but sometimes becomes apparent when looking at repeated results.

Researching surgeons that work with your current body type and have a lot of results that match your wishlist (along with safety and price) can be a starting point. Then join social media groups that discuss these surgeons. If you have no specific look your trying to achieve, then you can focus on surgeons with a lot of fantastic results, high safety rating and in your specific budget range.

Before I committed to anyone, I asked about credentials, previous employment and social media pages. Then I started looking through their work. Personally, I did not want pay celebrity prices for routine procedures but bargain basement priced surgery was not the goal either. And I think safety outweighs style always.

Yes I dont think I know of a style or body goal...

I want to be safe and know that I will be in good hands.

I just want to get rid of the excess skin and find the body that lurks underneath.

But also, balling on a budget lol
