Remove Saline and Replace with Silicone Breast Implants

WORTH IT$12,500
Its been over 2 yrs since my BA and I have been completely HAPPY until about a month ago. My new years resolution was to get fit. So I started this year and stuck to it! I have been eating clean and working out hard core, resulting in about 15 pounds weight loss, dropped my body fat percentage by 6 percent and dropped 2 pant sizes. HAPPY right....until last month when at the gym I noticed some rippling on my left breast. I did a lot of research and decided to call my PA to address my concerns. I had my consultation with my PA on April 18, 2014. He said the rippling was because of such thin breast tissue and fat ( that was before I even mentioned I had lost some weight!). He said that could do one of two things... 1) Fat grafting over the areas where the rippling shows. In which I joked with him that I was "getting rid of fat not wanting to add fat" or 2) Replace with Silicon implants. I asked him what he personally thought would be best. He suggested to replace. He is only charging me the cost of the implants and the anesthesia not the cost to remove and replace them which saved me $3700! My surgery is scheduled for May 20th, 2014. I am now again, excited and nervous!

I just had my pain pump while in the hospital. Meds went in through my IV in my hand. It was removed before I came home. Only had oral meds at home. Would have been nice to have a pump at home!!

Just came across your profile again ANM pardon my ignorance but what is PA an abbreviation for? I thought Plastic Surgeon would be PS. Is that Dr Nijher that did your surgery again? I hope the "change out" went well. I thought your previous BA looked beautiful. I do realize that was before you leaned out, I am sure your silicones look awesome!

Hi A new me! Your results are phenomenal! I am constantly looking at TT results or Mommy makeover results, mostly in fl but also other states (not up for traveling far from home for and after surgery) I am blown away by your results (from a doc in Fl yay!) and also because I am actually thrilled to hear the only thing that really bothers you is the bellybutton...because most people post-op TT surgery would say the belly scar bothers them, but that's the trade off.

Are you happy with your belly scar? Yours appears to be low and well out of site. That's what I am interested in. Oh can you exercise without feeling strain or pain. I had a hernia surgery and still feel discomfort in the scar years later.

Also after kids I have lost brest volume and perkiness. I always wonder about either implants or a lift but both together produce the best results for my situation, but often because the lift is so much more invasive than just implants I hear you lose all the sensation. Can you please share your feelings on this. I am interested in consulting with your doctor, but want to trust their results, I have had a bad experience! Thank you! Again, you look great...enjoy. :-)

Teryosha, thanks for the complement! I am sooooo happy that I had this done..cant believe that it has been a year and half all ready but for anyone thinking of doing this surgery it is so worth it! Its life changing. My scar is very low, so if I am in a bathing suit or my panties you can not see the scar. And even naked..the scar is so thin and very very light. My belly button I have come to realize it is what it is.. I am probably going to get a belly ring and maybe that will make me feel better about it. I honestly have not been on this site in about 10 months so I need to update all my pictures!!! I am trying to loose about 10 pounds to be at my goal weight, and as far as you asked about working out..no I dont feel a pain or any strain. And you asked about me loosing sensation after implants I think each person is different...me I still have mine, then tingle when its cold..etc. Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience but I know several women who had their surgery done by Dr. Nijher! His work is awesome and the staff if super sweet! Good look in what ever you decide but I personally think this was one of the best self boosting make me feel confident things I did for myself! :) Keep in touch and feel free to ask anything I will try to help!

Thank you so much ANM for your reply and detail. Did you have the lift and the implants...or did the implants lift you like that? Losing feeling from implants have never been of concern to me...I don't think you lose feeling with just implants (unless the scarring is really bad). But I was told implants alone won't give me the lift I want. But at the same time the loss of feeling that can come with a lift is concerning. I want to feel like myself again, I won't let my hubby near me because I am so unhappy with how I look even after working out. So in trying to get back to myself and former affectionate self at that (which is stifled now due to my embarrassment) my concern is losing sensation (and then NOT feeling like myself from the nipple scars with the lift.

I think you had a lift with your implants right? Well if you had the lift and you have NOT lost sensation that is wonderful news. I am choked up seeing your results after searching for years for the right doctor. I also would not want my nipples made smaller...as I was not unhappy with my shape / size & shape of breasts before children/ size shape of nipples . I don't want to look different than myself, just MORE like my OLD self.

I do understand the bellybutton issue is something that comes with the territory, and I would deal with that and prob also get a belly ring. But the thought of lost of sensation in nipples, altering the size of the nipples, those square on the bottom breasts that often come with a lift without the implants, a high visible / thick /raised belly scar, as well as a belly button I am unhappy with is very daunting.

But I love your results and I am seriously considering Dr Nihjer. Don't fret about the bellybutton mama...you look wonderful! I like the 2 butterflies too:-) Please update with new pics of belly scar after the 5 month out if you can! Blessings, continue to enjoy.

@Teryosha- yes I had implants with a lift and I still have sensation in my nipples. I was scared at first because I remember looking down at them a few days after the surgery and was like " these are so ugly" but..like every thing it took time and patients and there is a very very light scar..so the only one who would see if...if looking really close, would be your spouse. All your worries are the same that I had too. That why I did LOTS of research on the doctors in the area. Then I met with two different women in my town who mentioned Dr. Nijher as a GREAT doctor. Then met someone at the gym who also used him..so decided to meet him myself. Then after looking at some of pictures I was very pleased. I am currently trying to get back on a diet (just to loose about 10-15 pounds) because over the past 6 mths I had a lot of personal family issues (death,change in job, lost of a pet, suicide of a close coworker..) so I put on a good 10 pounds..But I am back on track and am hitting the gym 3 times a week.!

Thanks for posting pics over a year later. I'm 25 days post op and I love seeing the future results others. I still have tons of belly swelling and it sucks ... Can't wait to be further out! I'm ready for the gym and my life back! I feel like a lazy slug!

@NewMommyx3- first off...congrats on the new body! Trust me..we were all at the same point as you are now "wishing we were further out" and get back to our normal routines..but we all heal differently so just cause someone else might be standing up straight or doing something that you may not be yet..dont worry! I learned the hard way..was told not to work out my abs till 9 weeks post op, but hard headed me at 6 weeks "felt fine" so I did...and almost had to redo my surgery! I remember getting so upset because others I had met on here that had the same or around the same surgery date were either healing faster then me..or standing up straight! I felt help less, couldnt do my normal cleaning the house stuff..but trust me, relax and take the break your body needs to heal! Before you know it you will be back to normal! I remember not until my 5 month is where I really started to see the changes..I was no longer swollen, could go to the gym and felt great! So dont be to hard on yourself for feeling like a lazy slug, your body just went thru some major surgery! Keep me posted!

Wow...so it has been a year and 3 months now since my surgery!!! Wow how time flys by so quick!! I actually forgot about this website to update due to a lot of personal issues I went thru (dealing with my ex husband and a custody battle for the kids-which I won, moving and changing schools for the boys, deep depression where I gained 20 plus pounds...) BUT I got back into church, and turned my life around for me and my boys! So I will have to update you in a postive way now! I am happy that I had the surgery and would not regret it for anything! I am 90% happy with the outcome (the other 10 percent is my fault..the weight gain and not massaging scar stuff on my incisions daily like I should of) I am trying to loose weight and get back into the gym. So then I will have the beach body that I wanted...I will try to post some pictures later on!
