I have always had large (non perky breast's) and after seeing some of my friends with large and beautiful breasts that still looked natural I had to inquire.
I was told about Dr. Christopher Pellitier and made a appt. He told me I needed a lift and if I chose I could get implants after because they would be smaller as loose skin would be removed. I was hesitant because who want's 2 procedure's? Well I have to tell you after the first (and a few months of deliberation) I have absolutely no hesitation to get my 2nd procedure. I don't know how he does it but he is truly an artist regarding his work.

It is about 6 weeks post surgery and I am very happy with my results and have absolutely no regrets. I have told anyone interested in any type of plastic surgery about my doctor as I am still amazed at how well my surgery went and how good I felt in the healing process.

It has been 3 months since my breast lift and I have NO regrets! I am thrilled with my breasts and have complete faith in my doctor. I am going in just a few days for my measuring for implants. Due to the amount of lift my breasts are smaller than I want but perky! I have my implant surgery the following Monday, May 20. I am very excited and have no hesitation with my doctor and his abilities. Dr. Chris rocks!
My scars are fading and my breasts have settled so he can measure them to the best size and even them out for me as one is bigger. Can't wait!!

Great review?

Thank you!!!!! I love them....I am so pleased and I am sure you will be too ;)) I got great referrals and now I know why. I am so excited about getting my implants and I have 4 fiends already lined up with my doc. Check out New gel and I would recommend ordering before the surgery as they take a week or more to get to you. I started using them as soon as my tape was off--I use the gel during he day and strips at night. When is your surgery???

My surgery was March 8 and my steri strips come off Monday so I may have missed the boat on that one but I will still try it! I am anxious to see my own incisions. I haven't yet.

I just found it on Amazon and it will ship quickly what quantity do I need? For example how long does one box last? Should I buy several? Thanks so much!

Hi bday boobs ;) I am not sure what you got. They are reusable and can even wash them in mild soap and let air dry. I also got some surgical tape because sometimes the ends come off my skin. They say they last about a month. I use the strips at night and the gel during the day because of my job. I recently started wearing a sport bra and seems to work even better when I have strips on. I saw a difference in just 24 hours. I already have new ones ready for my implants. It takes a minute to get the strips on just right but you will get the hang of it. :))

Make sure the incisions are fully closed before using the new gel products. You can use the new gel 24 hours a day if you want. Don't be alarmed at the incisions when you first see them. They will heal and from my experience it won't take very long ;) I got the full anchor strips 2 sets of them and the areola (which I am still waiting for). I also got the large curved ones for when I get implants for under my breast. I got some other strips to cut and use around my nipples just in case and I am glad I did. I also just found them on amazon! Keep me posted !!

I figured out after my post that they were reusable. You have been most helpful. I had implants during my lift and a small amount of tape has lifted on my creases at the edges. That is the incision I am least concerned with because it sets perfectly in the crease. I am trying to prepare myself for the tape coming off. Again thanks so much! Ill post new pictures on Monday.

Yes the crease incisions are not bad at all....You will be great!! I look forward to seeing your progress ;)

That is great news for you!  Do you have a date yet for your 2nd procedure?

I do!! May 20 and I am so confidant now with Dr. Pellitier. I have no hesitation. I knew I would be smaller after the lift and he also told me (unlike another lady I know and feel so bad for. She went from a DD to a A) Anyways.. I just can't even tell you how relieved I am that I don't have to be concerned with anything regarding my surgery. Thanks for this wonderful site !! Laura
