It's only 6 weeks away from my surgery date of September 26th, 2014....Whew!

I began Olympic Lifting 7 months ago and kept missing my lifts to the front of me....when a video was produced to show me why my bar pathway kept swinging forward, I knew part of reason why was my Size G Breast Cup! I had saline breast implants placed over the muscle 25 years ago and at only a size B. At that time I weighed 106lbs. Today I weigh 115lbs. Thirteen pounds heavier, however I have much more muscle now and overall my BF hasn't changed all that much but my cup size has continued to climb!

First Congratulations on your Olympic Lifting, what a fabulous accomplishment!! I'm so excited for you, way to go... It sounds like you're planning on going down in size for your breast revision, are u planning on going with Silicone or Saline unders or overs? I've been watching Plastic Surgery 90120 on Netflix & they had a few woman who were professional body builders who had their breast implants revised. One woman thought she had about 400cc's or so & when the PS removed her old implants they were about 540cc's if I remember right. She looked absolutely amazing after her surgery! The hardest thino sometimes is for athletes to stay out of the gym & give themselves time to recover! I wish u the best of luck with your procedure & I hope you end up with the perfect size breasts for your body as well as your goals!!

Thanks...Oly. Lifting is a little freaky for sure. Yup...like to pair down to a B cup. However my PS said he'd see how everything looks once he removes my old implants. I'll be using a silicone implant under the muscle plus a lift. I'll post one pre-post front view picture and one of my abdomen. I had a mini-tummy tuck 25 years ago as well. The PS really did a mess! I thought that I might as well get this whole thing done right. Breasts and tummy. Ya...I agree about staying out of the gym! My Olympic Coach thinks I'll be back onto the Oly.Lifting Platform in 2 weeks time...like NOT! I've just joined this form....so I'll update my posts up until the surgery and then do post pictures. Thanks for your support!

Hi there! I am considering having my MMO and Breast Revision with Dr Peterson. How was your experience?

Hmmm...based on my experience (and what I saw in other of his patients) is that Dr.Peterson does many, many Breast Lifts, Augmentations, etc,. This is the area that he excels best at...however when it comes to tummy tucks, he does NOT do well in this area. I had to get him to redo my tummy (and I HAD to convince him to do it). I feel that I only lucked out in getting a good result with the tummy (scroll down to read my later posts). Sooo NO I DO NOT recommend him for a MMO...but YES for breast work. Best of luck with your future MMO :)

Pre-Post Pictures of Breast Lift and Abdominoplasty Revision

Here's just a few of my pre-opp pictures. I'm looking forward in pairing down from a droopy G Cup to a lifted B Cup.
As far as my revision for my abdomen...Dr.Peterson said I'd be needing to do a small vertical scar below my belly button. At first I didn't understand why, but with a bunch of research from this forum...I now know why.
My BF is at 23% here. BF is typically higher for lifting...so we may gain muscle & strength. But even when my BF was at 18% my cup size didn't change.

I absolutely agree with fixing everything at once! It's definitely going to be nice to have new silicone implants under the muscle. That's funny that your trainer thinks two weeks will be enough time, I'm glad that u aren't allowing the pressure to push u into the gym before your body is fully recovered! I personally love the way my implants feel, they're soft & feel so natural! :) I hope your recovery time is speedy & it sounds like your PS knows what he is doing. I honestly love the way my silcone breasts feel, they're soft & I can't remember the last time I could see so many of my ribs under my bustline. :) I look forward to seeing your progress! This is a fabulous resource; it's so nice to have qualified board certified plastic surgoens to answer questions on so many different topics. I really like being able to see the different pictures, procedures & out comes.

Sooo...excited! Good to hear all the positive support from all the ladies. Your results look amazing! Did your PS do lipo on your tummy as well?

Good Luck for your procedure. I had my implants removed and new ones put in then I had my tummy tuck a year after as my ps would not do it at the same time. Last week I had labiaplasty and my aerolas made smaller as they do stretch over time. Today I have my 1 week checkup and so far all going well except for itchiness in labia which is to be expected from the stitches. Looking forward to getting back to my training as I am a fitness instructor and specialise in spinning. Anaesthetics sure kill your fitness level however, you will recover so quickly and that's the benefits of being fit

A little bit of history of my past procedures with diffrent Plastic Surgeons

User Avatar
freedomh20
Over the past 25 years I've had various procedures with a few different Plastic Surgeons.

I had a Rhinoplasty procedure with Dr.Lorne Brown of Langley when I was in my late twenties. Pleased with the outcome, I later went back to him in my early thirties for a mini tummy tuck & lipo suction of my waist, hips & thighs. The lipo was amazing but the tummy tuck turned out disastrous! There were irregularities of the skin and the procedure was VERY painful! I was so embarrassed...I hid my lower abdominals for over twenty years.

Not long after that I did a breast augmentation by Dr.Reed. He used saline implants placed over the muscle. I went for a full B cup.

As time passed, I went on to have lipo suction of my arms & waist with Dr.Stan M. Valnicek. He was good but I can't say I was over-joyed with the results! More fat was taken off one arm and one side of my waist line!

Just before turning 50, I knew that it was time to get a neck-lift...I finally booked with Dr.Peterson! All I can say is WOW! The work he did was the absolute BEST! He paid attention to the smallest details~he even did a fat transfer on my tear toughs! Dr.Peterson is courteous, listens well and is very pleasant! No question goes unanswered. Sooo....that was 4 years ago.

In 5 weeks time, Dr.Peterson will be removing my aging old saline implants, giving me a lift and returning me back to a smaller cup size! He will liposuction my armpits and where-ever else that is needed. He'll go onto fixing Dr.L Browns messy mini-tummy tuck that I've hid for all these years! I highly recommend Dr.Peterson and I'll be more than happy to keep everyone updated as I move through this upcoming procedure that is scheduled for September 26th, 2014.

You are really brave going back for repeated plastic surgery procedures after multiple disappointments. What a positive attitude!

I know, hey? I was soooo freaked out about the repeat TT procedure~enough that the anesthesiologist asked me if I was sure about the surgery, moments before he put me under. I have one more fix-up on the way....that one is to fix Dr.Stan M. Valnicek's arm lipo. Unfortunately my favorite PS (Dr. Peterson) doesn't have the expertise in this one...(P/S can't do every-thing...I know that now). I have a consult with Dr.Shapiro in Phoenix, Arizona next Thursday for short incision (armpit) arm lift and a couple of other small things. I'll post my consult results after the consult.
