I had revision surgery on 2/25/11 and I am ecstatic day 1 post surgery! I had my first BA with silicone 21 years ago. The right breast never dropped as much as the left and I felt I'd lost some volume over the years. I was also very conservative on my first BA and went from an A to a full B. The old implants were replaced with w/Mentor moderate plus memory gel. I should end up with full C/small D with nice symetry. I am 5'9" and 140 lbs so my surgeon agree this is a good size for me. Pain is mild and easily controlled with my meds. Can't wait to see how I look in a few weeks! My first follow up is Mar 4.

March 2 update: Feeling great and not taking any pain meds. I was a little stiff first thing this morning but it went away after I started moving around. Looking forward to getting out of this surgical bra, it's squeezing me! So far, things look great even with the implants riding high. Can't wait for the muscles to relax and drop. Still not as energetic as usual, but I'm trying to take it easy and heal. I don't want to rush things. Good things come to those who wait!

Great review?

Dr. W-A echoed my desire for a natural slope and symetry. She helped me choose size both by trying on gel inserts and verbally equating the look to cup sizes. I immediately felt comfortable with her and knew I was in good hands. She views plastic surgery as art in addition to being board certified and FACS. Highly recommend!
