Breast Implants: Stories

I went to Dr. Moore after having 2 kids, 10 years ago. He was very professional, but what else could you be when you are only in the room for 2 minutes. I thought that maybe I was just nervous and should ask more questions on an appointment I had to discuss lateral displacement. The same thing again, he was only in the room for a few minutes before making me aware that he has a patient on the table. I made my appointment three weeks in advance and drove 4 hours to see him. He claims my lateral displacement, which requires pocket revision, occurred because my implant sizes are too big and heavy, however, he has you sign a waiver saying that he will make the final decision during the procedure on what size will be best for your body. I chose 380 cc, he chose 450 cc. It took them a week to get back to me after my appointment to see what it would take to get them right, they slide off my chest to my armpits, they took no responsibility what so ever, and quoted me full price for a pocket revision. Needless to say, I will be finding another surgeon;

I went to Dr. Moore and he is an amazing surgeon. I has surgery and was back to work 2 days later. I healed perfectly. Am 2 years post op and my recently mamogram tech was surprised they were not real. I would recomend him without hesitation. I done mine at holiday time and got a large discount. Almost like buy one get one free. lol

So glad to find this forum. I just had my consult with him today. While I liked him, I am also considering Dr. Bindrup. Anyone been to him???

just wondering if you went through with it. I have an appointment set up in a month with Dr. Kirk Moore. If you did are you happy with it or any other advice.

I feel your pain with having a flat chest. I nursed three babies and 5 years after contemplating about an augmentation, I finally did it. My husband and I made it a spring break ski trip before my surgery. I am four weeks post op with Dr. Moore doing my BA. When he says rapid recovery, it sure is rapid. I was on Tylenol and Ibuprofen for muscle spasm pain. I am very athletic and we had skied three days straight before my surgery. I can relate my surgery to breast feeding, no worse. We drove 11 hours the day after surgery and 10 the next. I was tired but not in pain. You don't have to wear a bra after surgery or be laid up for days. I am happy with my results going from a "barely A" to a 36C-34D with 385 cc "gummy bears". You should have a consult with "Just the Right Curves" to see what you think. Their staff is so friendly. I went to them because my friend and some of her friends also had their BA through Dr. Moore and they are all happy with the results.

My friend went to him and he did a good job on her but his ethical practices are questionable. The technique he uses isn't really painless but it is much less painful than other traditional methods of breast augmentation. It's called electrocautery and many doctors do it (even though their office will tell you otherwise). I'm getting my done by Dr. Richard Fryer in Draper and he also uses this technique and has been doing it for much longer than Dr. Moore. He also doesn't use it as a slogan for business so I trusted him much more. I would stay away from that office in general if I were you. They are very shady. Hope that helps.

No, I haven't. I went with Dr. James Clayton in Provo, UT and really liked him. I am 5 days post-op. I was AAA and went with a subtle change, probably a full B, but time will tell. My recovery hasn't been too bad. I'm taking it easy but feel pretty well. Good luck.

I agree that the rapid recovery technique is intriguing! Sadly, Dr. Moore isn't active on RealSelf yet. Hopefully there are some ladies who have been to him who will stop by and leave their feedback for you.
