The surgery has been about 14 months ago now. I still have some pain and numbness in the right breast.
Because I waited until I was older the breast are sagging again but nothing like they were. I would like to say that this is not a one time fix for anyone that wants to stay looking young.

I will comment that I do like the improvement in the looks of my breast especially with clothes on. I guess all in all it did help my self esteem.

Great review?

She is very unsympathetic and not willing to give answers. She is totally worrried about a law suit I am sure.

then they make you sign all the papers so quick that you don't really get a chance to READ it like you should! cuz they just paraphrase whats in it but leave out the important fine lines! wishing you all the best!

I know what you are talking about. It is quite depressing that the negative aspects are not realized until after the fact.

hmmm, I have had no sensitivity loss at all in my nipples. I've had a lift and implants 2 weeks ago. Wonder what causes some women to have it, and some not. I can feel everything :s
