Irvine Breast Implants Doctors and Reviews

“Very Uneven to Acceptable - Newport...”

WHY I DID IT: From the time I began to develop breasts, I knew somethign was up. The Left Breast grew and the right just never caught up. By 16 years old, my breasts did not grow anymore. I was stuck with a nice average B cup on the left and a shapeless small A cup on the right. I bought creams, pills and padding. Only the padding helped. I missed out on beach summers and laid back... more

“Don't think it was worth it after...”

I had no hesitation about getting the surgery. I feel I absolutely needed it and I would do it again. However, I wish I knew then what I know now. My doctor is conservative and I let him guide my decision. Although I didn't even pick an implant size prior to surgery, using research about various results I saw online, I knew I wanted nothing less than 300cc. The first two months... more

“Going Back A Second Time Next Week -...”

First breast augmentation was last June. I was an A cup. barly anything. I had 350cc , smooth, moderate profile, saline put in. No pain. stretched well, no complications. A year later I am going back again to switch them out to silicone so they feel more real. Im also hoping to achieve a better look in terms of my breasts filling out and dropping more. I also want to remove what i feel is... more

“Ruptured Silicone Implants - Costa...”

Won't waste your time with all details. However I propose a challenge to you. To All the Plastic Surgeons: Get silicone breast implants have them in for a few years, get a mammogram and smash them so they rupture, let the silicone stay in for a few more years then YOU will be able to give a truly un biased opinion on "silicone poisoning" I truly think it is amazing how little you... more

“The Ideal Implant Really is Ideal! -...”

I had the ideal implant inserted approximately a year and a half ago as a part of the clinical trial.

I can tell you whole-heartedly that mine look and feel better than my two girlfriends that had saline implants... more

“Awesome Experience (Saline to Silicone)”

I had saline implants and had one deinflate. I had moved from So Cal to Washington State and had consultations with the Physicians there but returned to my orginal physician, it was worth every penny of extra cost. I changed to Silicone gel. This is so much better and still as natural looking as the saline, because of my Great surgeon. He takes the extra time and effort so it doesn't look... more

“Breast Implants with Lipo”

I decided to look into getting silicone breast implants and tumescent liposuction. During my initial research I found a ton of helpful comments on realself.com about breast implants and liposuction but not much on both procedures done at the same time. So I decided to write about my experience. About me I'm 32 yo 135 lbs and a 34C (sm C) I have worked out my whole life and over the last 4... more

About six weeks ago, I had a BA done. I had been interested in BA for years and had done a lot of research.

“Awesome Doctor! Worth a Few Weeks of...”

I went in for breast consult in 2004. At first I was very apprehensive and wasn't sure what questions to ask. After meeting with Dr J, I realized he was the one I wanted to do the procedure. Not only did he take time to answer what little questions I could think of, he gave me a lot of information that I didn't think of.After the surgery, I was in some pain but nothing that was unbearable. A... more

I had a breast augment 25 yrs ago. I had the silicone implants (which ruptured) removed and replaced with saline 15 years ago.

“Breast Implant Surgery After Rupture...”

Was very happy with my breast implants until the one on right ruptured for no reason. Was just sitting in bath tub and had been feeling a burning sensation on top of breast under skin for 3 weeks.

I had breast implant TUBA procedure on July 18,2008. I am 5'6 and 125lbs. I was a 34A and had 425CC high profile saline implants put in. However, it's been well over a year and my implants still look too high near my collar bone, like its not dropping.

“Saline Implants Above the Muscle”

It's been a pretty good experience. I like the results. I get worried sometimes but I guess that's normal. I did it because I wanted to even out my breasts and to get more volume.Hi I just had breast augmentation surgery about 4 weeks ago. When I'm stretching in the morning or yawning I can actually feel the muscle move the implant and I was wondering if your muscle can actually rupture the... more

“Breast Augmentation Resulted in One...”

I had breast augmentation 4 weeks ago. I am concern because each one is a different size ( one is about a C while the other is about a D cup).I originally asked for a D cup so I like the larger one. But since the smaller cannot get bigger, I wonder if at least the larger one will get smaller so that I gain assymetry on my breast. My doctor stays that it takes months to see final results.Will... more

I scheduled a revision and am conflicted on whether I should have them removed or downsized.Should I remove my implants, or replace with a smaller... more

“Happy Birthday Ladies! - Newport Beach”

I never particularly thought about breast enhancement. In the past I've known women to have it done and could always tell. Their round perfect breasts looked like imposters of the real thing. In addition to stigma of insecurity, many men claim to take women with larger augmented breasts less seriously, so I wondered why so many women would choose the knife to change what God gave them. So... more

“Waiting to See my Results ..likiing...”

Two days ago i just had 450cc silicone moderate profile implants in me and so far the ace bandage is very itchy but I'm liking the looks of things...the only pain I've felt before surgery was the needle to numb my left hand where the IV sedation needle was going to be inserted into my vein..then after that ..things went woozy...I woke up with my chest feeling sore...just like i had just ran 2... more

“After 24 Years my Breast Implants...”

I had my breast plants done in 1984 when I was 32year old. I had Goat Titties. I went from a cup B to a cup C plus. Two Weeks of discomfort was all. Now I need them redone, but need to go smaller because of my age and weight of the implants. Word to the wise, since I had a cup C plus it was very hard to find a bra that fit. Get a Cup size that will fit bras not overfull C or Under D. more
