500cc's saline mp+ Paramus, NJ

I had an idea on what I wanted when I went for the consultation (I looked at lots of pics) when I got there I discussed what I wanted and tried on sizers and came up with a better idea. The day of surgery I changed my mind again lol!!! But I was only able to change because I had saline. He was great just have lots and lots of questions because he will answer all of them but without questions he won't give you too much info!! He was great his staff great too! The day of I was pretty nervous and that went away after being there 15 mins!!!! He was gentle and I literally woke up in less then an hour with no pain. I was home by 10am lol like nothing and could have gone back to work in like 3 days I was doing so well but I did take off a week!!! They dropped within the first 2 months and have absolutely no complaints beside my scar area is pretty dark but I don't think it has anything to do with him maybe just my skin tone!! But ill tell you the scar I can't even feel it it was done so nicely. Again If it wasn't for the discoloration I don't think you would even see it!!!! Good luck you are in great hands!!! No worries. Oh PS just ask for anti nausea medication before the anesthesia it works wonders I was never sick and I asked for a prescription the day of for after with the Percocet which made me throw up after my c-section!! Feel free to ask me anything and again I know easier said then done don't be nervous!!! You'll be fine!!!

Another PS.... Mine are not hard at all don't feel like balloons and are very natural looking again it all depends on what you are starting with (your own breast tissue) and how much bigger you plan on going. I asked him what he thought was too big for me and he said 600 so I was 100cc's under that so I was comfortable with my decision. I didn't want [RS bleep] boobs but go figure I do wish they were bigger lol!!!

Thank you for your reply!!! I am actually going with local anesthesia. I don't think I have much breast tissue, I felt like he didn't spend enough time with me during consult. Did you notice any rippling yet??? That's what I am afraid of. I think I should go with 400 cc

This is why I said you would need to go in with lots and lots of questions because I didnt feel he was forth coming with information but was very informative when I asked him anything. Rippling, I have none but you do see rippling the bigger you go and you dont have alot of breast tissue so that is something you definitely need to address with him. Remember saline is not as natural looking as silicone but you can achieve a very natural look if you have enough breast tissue. Again from what you can see from my post pics they dont look fake at all and dont feel fake either. You'll have to go back for your pre-op so just do all your research before then and go in with a list of questions that will put your mind at ease. Again he is very good I just knew from consultation that I would have to go in with all the questions at pre-op and remember I changed my mind a few times up until the day of surgery so just really do your homework and have a imagine that you really want to achieve or you will be disappointed with your results. Why do you say you think you should go 400cc? What did you discuss with him.

First of all he showed me only silicone implants and that's what I tried on. 350 cc silicone. The saline implant he showed was hard and weird looking and it was the only one. Then he showed me how saline will ripple in contrast to silicone. I am researching day and night and saline implants don't look too much different. 400 cc I think is good because doesn't it become like 25-50 cc less??

Clue number one if you only showed you silicone it was for a reason. I can tell you that yes it is 2k more but he never once tried to sell me the more expensive implant, he said i would do fine with saline. Rippling is a huge problem and can not be fixed. So with that said either take his advise and maybe postpone your date until you can accumulate more money or go for a second opinion but honestly I think if you dont follow his advise I would hate for you to have spent 5500k plus to just have to redo them and spend another 7k to fix something you could have avoided. Again only because he didnt seem like a sales man trying to have me spend more money then I needed to I would bet his recommendations are on the money. You can always go to another doctor for another recommendation but be careful they tell you the truth and not just what you want to hear.

They made me give them a non refundable deposit. I was just looking at some before and after from a doctor in morristown and it looks like his number one choice is saline. The body types were very similar to mine and they had 350-450 cc saline under muscle and it looks great. So I think I made my decision!!!! Saline it is!!!! And I researched about price difference with saline and silicone and it's 1 k difference I don't know why they charge 2k more for silicone. Thank you for your replies. I m glad you are happy with your results!!! You look awesome

You're very welcome good luck!!! I would still go for second a opinion. If another doctor suggests that you can pull of saline you will at least feel more confident in your choice. Again I don't feel he was just trying to sell you a more expensive product. He told me I would be fine choosing either option. Just go that one extra step. I put down the deposit too but I told him I'd get back to him within 2 weeks then I down the deposit. I did more research before I commited. They say you should get at least 2-3 consultations before committing. Again Good luck keep me posted!!

Yea but the deposit is non refundable. I am stressed out now!!!

Don't stress you can still use him as the doctor I'm just saying if another PS suggests you use silicone you might want to reconsider doing saline but if they say you should be fine then your good to go!! Believe me I think he's an excellent doctor so I don't want to see you not take his advise and then not get the results you want!! We all know there are some doctors that will sell you anything to make money he just isn't that kind of doctor so the fact that he suggested silicone makes me want to urge you to get a second opinion. What if he's right and 3 months down the line you see rippling you are going to be very unhappy you can't hide that or fix it you'd have to get then redone which in the long run is going to cost you more than the additional 2000. You can't go by pictures alone the PS is the expert and again don't feel he's trying to sucker you into paying more for nothing. He told me flat out I would have no worries with rippling so being that he told you that could be an issue I would do a lot more research. Losing 1000 dollars will save you in the long run.

Post a question on here to the doctors and see what their feed back is. You would be better off posting a pic of you breast so they have a better idea along with your height and weight but I'm sure they will all say without an actually examination it will be hard to judge which is why I say you can't go by picture or even cc's Its total different for each of us. Go under Q&A to a doctor they are all board certified if they have been accepted on this site and maybe you'll feel better!! Again don't stress just make sure you dot your I's and cross your T's

Well it's 2000 more with him but you'd really only be paying him an additional 1000 compared to others. Again it's just so you hear another expert opinion most consultations are free! If not around 150 bucks. But like I said post a pic see the responses you get. Pricing varies remember he is in Bergen county. You can email him to and tell him you really felt more comfortable going with saline will it make a big difference. He response to emails and again just ask lots of questions.

Well first of all when I first met with him I had done all my research so I knew pretty much what I wanted which for starters I wanted saline. He explained both options and I felt very comfortable with his consultation and I def didn't feel he was trying to convience me to go the more expensive route. He said I was a perfect candidate for saline and should have no problems. So that alone made me feel he was going to give me what I wanted. The only negative I could possibly say about him was if you went in not knowing much you are going to leave pretty much in the same way. He was informative because I had all the questions lined up if you didn't have much to ask he didn't have much to say hahaha. But I am absolutely happy with my results I was in and out in like an hour and a half and recovered almost fully in 5 days his staff is sweet ! My results were amazing with the second month. So if you are well prepared with questions and feel comfortable with his answers I def recommend him. I even. Changed my mind a few times in size and he was more than happy to accommodate my requests. So good luck it's not an easy decision but I'm glad I made it. Feel free to ask me anything if you have anymore questions or and he did an awesome job with my incisions. Almost gone (scar wise) a little discoloration but that just might be my skin tone.

Thank you so much! That's a huge help! I can't decide what type I want! How realistic do the saline feel? Or in other words how do they feel? And what size do u reamcmande I'm a small b now and want a large D thank you so much for Everything it really helps!!!

I always knew I wanted saline the whole MRI thing with silicone scared me a bit. How do they feel the feel pretty normal to me I sleep on my stomach and have no problems. They look super natural (alittle too natural haha) I wish they were bigger without a doubt but I am a pretty active person so realistically they are prefect. I was a 34B before and ended up a 36DD or 38D depending. But remember a person without a boob job is much bigger D'a I guess because are pretty compact. You say DD and people are like that's huge but when people see me they don't look like DD's. I know they say silicone feels more natural but honestly my salines don't feel fake to me. Yes they are a bit firmer than natural breast but mine settled in very nicely so I don't have the fake look. What did he recommend? Like I said I went in with an open mind but had my thoughts set on saline. If he recommended something other than what you want depending on the reasoning behind it I would go with his recommendation. Again if you felt comfortable. Sizing is tricky I def wanted a large D but if I could do it again I would have done 550cc. I asked him what he thought would be too large and he said 600-650. So again depending on your measurements how thin your skin is I would ask what he thought was too big and go 50-100 cc's under depending on what look you want. If your a B 500 will def bring you to a D bit again depending on how thin you are I wouldn't say I am thin by any means so the D' doesn't look huge if your 115 pounds an are a B well you look much bigger than a D if that makes any sense. Take in all he said and think about the other doctor and then sit with what you want and make the decision then. Again I could give you more input if you'd like to share your consultations with me :0)

I m having surgery with dr. Gartner next Friday. Feel free to ask any questions. :))

Awesome!! So excited for you!!! I'm calling today to book with him! What did u decided silince gel or saline !?! I can't decide my husband what's the gel Bc he thinks it will be more realistic what do u think?? So many options!?!

@ bkraz, Well new boobs new attitude!!! I made it through my first TRI!!!!!! It was an amazing feeling. I didnt break any records but I did do it under my personal goal so that was super exciting. I cant wait to do it again. I think i have the tri-bug!!! I might do another one is Sept. It sure as hell will help me lose this stubborn belly fat i have going on.

great for you!!! i knew you would kill it girl : )

Awww thanks wish they were bigger lol

but they look great my friend was telling me the same thing she went from a C to a D.n now she wants bigger too. out of curiosity how much bigger did you want them to be? because right now I'm in between a C -D but I want a full d she said I should do a DD or else I'm going to want to get them bigger later on

That's the funny thing I'm a 36DD so not sure how much bigger I would want them I guess just more fullness on the top. I am happy with them so I won't complain the sizes seems huge they just don't feel huge too me. I guess it's a mental thing.

Absolutely. .you'll get the greed!!!
