Let me start off by saying I have quite a history...
WORTH IT$6,100
Let me start off by saying I have quite a history with breast implants. I know what it's like to have saline implants as well as the memory silicone gel implants. When I was 19 years old I decided that I wanted a boob job. I come from a pretty large family and off all of my sisters I was the only one with no boobs ( barely and A cup). So I seriously started thinking about getting breast implant. However at the age of 21,I decided to take the plunge on go for it. My first set of implants were 350cc saline implants nice shape for my size for my body at that point in my life, but considering that I'm 5'9 I always knew I could carry more so I've always wanted to be bigger.
Than I decided about 4 years later I would increase the size and go bigger and I did. I stayed with saline and I choose 650cc they were nice no doubt but than one of them popped 6 years later. At that point I no longer felt comfortable with saline, so this is when i first heard of the cohesive silicone memory gel. I figured since I had to go under the knife again to get my saline implant fixed i might as well change profile and go with 750cc round mod plus implants. Omg the mods looked horribly on me. At this point I became frustrated they were way to wide on the side and flat in the front they made me look weight heavy. I was like I can't live like this I look tall and skinny with these wide flat ugly boobs I've got to do something about this. I did'nt want to go through another surgery but I knew something had to be done either I just stick it out and live like this or change it once again.
So I thought this would be the answer I went back to my previous docter that place the mods and me and he recommended I go with the 590cc ultra profile with and internal bra So I said ok if I downsize a little bit it will take some (just a little bit of the side boob away and a little bigger in the front) I should be happy right. Wrong I've made another mistake on size and profile from the morning I woke up from surgery I knew was not going to be happy with those tiny 590 ultra high profile. I kept them for 6 months debating what I was going to do. I still had to wear patted push bras while still looking flat chested with my 590cc. I was so depressed I had decided that I was going to just take my implants out and live without them, but my husband was so supported of it all he told me honey you won't be happy without your implants and going back to being flat chested, there has got to be docter out there that can give you the results you want to achieve. I finally agreed with him.
So, I started researching doctors I had no idea where to start. I wanted a plastic surgeon near by but it had never occurred to me to go out of state. As I was looking online I stumbled across this Real Self site. I started browsing over different posts and reviews of different doctors here and I even sign up to the site myself. I started asking a few doctors questions just to see what kind of response I got. I would look on several of the doctors sites here and look an before and after photos of patients they had previously operated on. One docter in particular stood out to me. So I decided I'm going to call and set up a consultation. When I call his secretary told me he was'nt in and to leave my name and number and he'd call me back so I said ok, not really thinking much of it.
Doctors are so busy most off the time I did'nt think he'd call me back. (But 2 hrs later he did) we talk for a while and I explained to him what I had been through with my current implants and I noticed on his site that he has experience with revision surgery) and this is why I wanted to schedule a consultation with him to see if anything could be done to help me. My husband and I drove 2 hrs away (out of state) to the consultation). The consultation was quick I had my consultation and pre op all in the same day. I knew right than and there I wanted Dr. Schreiber to perform my surgery. He was so kind and down to earth and his staff was really nice. I had all my bloodwork done by my primary care docter and two weeks later my husband and I paid the docter and the hospital where my surgery was going to be performed.
I had my surgery this morning and everything went very smoothly. I am very happy at the moment, I got 800cc high profile cohesive round memory gel. They are absolutely beautiful. I was afraid that I would come out of surgery and they would look like torpedoes on my chest, but not at all. I also thought they would be pushed way up to my collar bone but the are not . My nipples are perfected centered and the breast are round just like I wanted them to be. I have lots of cleavage loving them so much. It's been a long time since I felt this way about my chest. I can't stop starting at them in the mirror. I have no pain at all it's been 9 and half hrs since my surgery and I feel great other than a little throat pain. My throat is little dry I keep drinking water to moisturizer it abit.

It's been 5 days since my revision and I could'nt be happier. I'm so really to get out off this surgical bra and go bra shopping. I'm trying to be patient and wait until the 3 month mark for final results. I did try on some of my old bras and I'm busting out off those. Yep! I'm sooo glad! I went up 210 cc from current implants and I gain 1 full cup size. Finally I no longer feel flat chested. I like the way I can hide my boobs if need to be and I can show them off if I want too! My boobs are feeling so soft I don't remember any off my previous sets feeling this soft ever. I haven't been out the house since my surgery it felt good to finally get out and get back into the swing off things.

It's been 1 week since I got the new girls, what more can I say I'm in love. I'm feeling completely like my old self again. This has been an easy recovery for me. I had no breast pain just a little discomfort around the incision site. My post op is Fri. Hoping that my ps will take the tape and guaze off. I've been wanting to remove it myself but I did'nt want to mess anything up. I'm taking every precaution possible. I'm not sure if ps used regular stitches or dissolvable ones. I plan on bring my ps and his staff a nice gift basket upon my return to the post op. I go back to work tomorrow. Feeling very confident since I only went up 1 cup size so it won't be too noticeable.

You do look great & it is so nice to hear you are happy with your results! After such a long journey of surgery after surgery... I can only imagine how frustrating that was for you!

March 20, 2013
Thank you so much! It finally feels good to happy, for awhile I was losing hope!

March 22, 2013
How is your recovery going? I believe we had our surgeries around the same time, yours was on the 12th right mine was the 13th! Have you gone back to work yet?
March 21, 2013
You look fab violet I'm happy for you congrats. How is the recovery rate compared to when you initially get implants is it a easier recovery ? I would think so since the pocket is already created. Happy healing doll glad your happy : )

March 21, 2013
Thank you Imbossy21 the recovery was very easy. I had no breast pain at all; I did'nt even need the meds. The incisions itch here and there I guess that means it's healing.


March 23, 2013
Hey V I'm doing well and you? Girl I'm so surprise how easy my recovery turned out to be all my steri strips came off except one. I started my massages and they are softening. I haven't had any pain pills in 3 days I feel great. I took one muscle relaxe rlast nice just because I felt a tad bit tight but other that that its been smooth thank goodness. Thanks for checking on me xoxoxo hugs : ) how are you feeling? You look really great your Ps did a fantastic job. Summer time is coming and they better watch out : )

March 23, 2013
Thanx again for all the compliments; unfortunatetely my sterile strips are still on my Ps told me to let them come off by themselves in the shower. So now its a waiting game. Did you find your Ps here on the site?

March 23, 2013
Aldo I really thought 800cc would be way bigger than what I got. Although I'm happy with the size!

March 23, 2013
Than you; I'm feeling pretty good too. Still have my sterile strips on: my Ps told me not to pull them off let them fall off naturally. I'm so ready for summer vacation. Our girls will be completely healed just in time. How long did it take for your sterile strips to fail off?

Hey V no I found him when I was first looking for someone to perform my tummy tuck so I choose him for my augmentation as well. He did my tummy tuck last year in January. He is on this site thou his name is Navin Singh located in Chevy chase MD and Tyson's corner VA. My strips came off recently during massaging and when showering I was instructed to let them fall off as well them jokers were holding on girl l. Still have 2 left lol

March 23, 2013
That's too funny, I guess I'm being impatient. I have been depressed for so long with the wrong size and profile off boobs on my body I'm just so happy finally. I guess I'm like a kid in a candy store now! Excited to see final results! anyhow you had a tummy tuck done, me too about 3 years ago. I am still thrilled with my tummy tuck results. How long has it been since you had yours done?

March 23, 2013
Sorry for the typos I just read you said January, is you incision site in the breast crease?
March 24, 2013
Hey V it took about 7 days to start falling off two fell off in the shower this morning they usually take about 10 days.

March 24, 2013
I would have never known your healing quite well. That must have been quite painful huh! Were your nipples burning when you woke up from surgery?

March 24, 2013
Hey Violet nope they didn't burn at all they are a little sore because my cycle started the day after surgery but I'm surprised I hear ppl say they get a burning sensation but so far nothing for me I pray it stays that way lol

March 24, 2013
When I had my internal bra done the moment I woke up from surgery my nipples felt like they were on fire and I Had a crease incision. Do you use coca butter on the scars ?because they look smooths I would have never guessed u had a nipple incision.
March 25, 2013
Hi Violet I'm using biocorneum. My PS office sells its supposed to be one of the best scar treatments and it has silicone and cortisone in it to help prevent keloids and raised scars. I tend to form bad scars on some areas of my body I wanted to get the best scar result possible.

March 25, 2013
I'll have to see if my Ps has that! Do you think it will ok to use on a crease incision? Also how much does it cost?
March 25, 2013
Hey Violet It's 120 for the med bottle and all you use is a thin layer and. 75 for the small Bottle and yes you can use it on any kind of scars you can order it online I believe too if your dr doesn't sell it. If not maybe you can order it over the phone at my dr officeI'm sure they can ship it if you can't find it online. Look it up on you tube and go to the company's website to get more info on it.

March 25, 2013
Ok thank you so much; at first I was thinking about using merderma for scars but I was'nt sure if it would work or not. What's your Dr name?

November 27, 2014
You look great. I just had mine done...I had severe asemetry and my PS did 600 & 700. Before this I was a C cup and now DD and LOVING it!!! I also had saline and he talked me into high profile cohesive gel silicone. I had a tummy tuck also. I've never had a flat stomach and always worked out hard...I'm 51 now and menopause was starting to help put more on the middle. I'm 3 weeks post op and started walking on the treadmill. I know once all the swelling from the tummy tuck is gone I'm going to be thrilled. I already am !! I have a waist again!! Congrats to you also!! You look great. I will post pics once I'm a bit more healed.
