Santa Monica Breast Implants reviews

80% of Santa Monica reviewers said Breast Implants was worth it

“Beautiful D Cups - Beverly Hills, CA”

I had my B cups transformed in large D cups with silicone implants. I was actually surprised how little it hurt, but I'd say it's important for you to be patient to allow them to drop. Took me a couple months for them to totally settle. Dr. Neavin in Beverly Hills did a fantastic job! I'm very happy with the results. Can hardly even see a scar in the fold. more

“Going from a 34B to a 34C - Redondo...”

I'm 38 years old. 5'7, 127 pounds, very athletic, petite/medium frame. I had my son November 2010 and won't have any more. After BF for only 6 weeks my perky self got a little sad looking. It's not too sad, but it's definately in a different area code, just a city over. Haha. I'm currently a 34B and was before as well. My goal is to get to a 34C+. more

“497 and 535 CC - Beverly Hills, CA”

Post-Operation Day 3! Ladies and Gents, I'm feeling fabulous! I went to Dr. Kim and did the umbilical approach and WOW, the pain has been very minimal. I was off all my pain medication by Day 2, but I have a high tolerance for pain. My stomach was really sensitive Day 1 but now feels almost back to normal. I was really surprised that my pain levels have been so low since I got such... more

“Good for Only 8 Years; Got Sick -...”

I had implants put in combined with a mastopexy after the surgeon convinced me that the look would be better - more full and round. I regretted it upon waking up from surgery, but the nightmare had just begun. I had saline implants, and one of them began leaking a mere two years later. Despite getting them putting under the muscle, my thin frame exposed the ripples at the edge of the implant.... more

“Are my Implants Bottoming out ? -...”

“Saline Vs Silicone? - Los Angeles, CA”

I have been to a few consultations with different doctors, and one doctor said she prefers silicone and that she would insert it under the bottom of the breast. Another doctor said he prefers saline and he would insert it through the belly button. I'm confused to which one I should get done. One of the staff members at the doctor's office who prefers saline showed me her breasts and... more

“Yes! Definitely Worth It! - Beverly...”

I spent 2 years in therapy trying to get over the unhappiness of my flat chest. After thousands of dollars in therapy, I was STILL flat chested and miserable about it. I decided to go for breast implants and they were the best gifts I ever gave to myself. I feel more confident, sexier, and HAPPIER. Girls, if you're unhappy about your small breasts, get a boob job. Life is too short to... more

“Going from a B Cup to Full C -...”

I am a mother of 2 and breastfed both children. Before I had kids I was a full 34B and had nice perky breast. When I was pregnant I got up to a large C and after I stopped breastfeeding I lost all the volume in my breast and more in 1 then the other. One breast is lower, fuller and bigger than the other one. The smaller one my nipple inverts because I don't have any fullness to pop it out.... more

“Pretty Girls--Do NOT Get a Boob Job...”

Hello pretty. i am 5'7, slender, olive skin, light eyes, exotic looking and a year & a half ago I decided to get a boob job for my 30th bday. All the men that I have been with over the years, when I mentioned 'i may want a boob job'-- they told me not to, they said my boobs were perfect. Well, with a good job, I had the money & the time & said I will go for it... more

“No More Flat Chest - Beverly Hills, CA”

I have always hated my B cups and after I breast fed I hated them more! They were pretty much non-existent, but still B's. I decided to get implants. I received them through the belly button (saline), behind the muscle. I was scared the morning of (because I had never had surgery). I couldn't have had an easier experience. I was under for about 20 minutes and came out with a size... more

“BA - Going from Small 34A to 34B/C -...”

I'm having the flash recovery BA in Beverly Hills CA next week. I breastfed my son and i lost alot of volume. When I am working out consistently i really have no breast tissue left. I am 5'3'' and 125 lbs. I barely fill in a 34A bra. I would like to be a 34b or small c. I am thinking silicone with moderate will give me a natural look. So after years of thinking about it I... more

“SO GLAD I Went to Dr. D for my...”

I had been contemplating breast augmentation for several years but wanted to make sure that I selected the right surgeon. After doing almost a year of research and consultations, I chose Dr. D. I was really nervous to have the procedure done because I'm very healthy and have never had even a minor surgery done. Not only that, but I was afraid that my end result would be disappointing... more

“Scar tissue 5 months after surgery...”

I had my implants implode. Had another surgery to remove them. A year later put in new ones. Now, 5 months later have a mass on each side under the nipple area, and my lymph nodes on the left breasts (2) are swollen due to silicone again. Could I be allergic to the silicone implants as I am in much pain with burning, and both breasts due hurt constantly? What are your recommendations and who... more

“Sharp Pain on Left Breast After...”

I had my breast implants done 3 days ago and beginning the second day (after the anesthesia wore off), I started to feel a very sharp pain like an electrical shock on my left breast. The pain occurs mostly from waking up in the morning or from a nap. I have to sit for about a minute in order for me to catch my breath. Once I'm up walking or sitting on a couch, the pain goes on and off. My... more

I had breast augmentation done 12 years ago, and since then had a child and needed then replaced and a lift done.

The doctor and I spoke openly and honestly about my expectations. Photos and measurements were taken several times.

It looked as though it was a bone showing a little due to my weight... more

I had a circumareola breast lift and implant in 2005 in Beverly Hills. My scars are all the way around my nipple, which I was not happy about at first, but I needed a lift and I appreciate my surgeon's honesty. They have faded and are really not noticeable anymore.
