    Seriously, the doctor makes a huge difference. Are you in San Diego? If so, you should consult with Dr. Apostolides ~ he is an amazing Doctor, with a very kind bedside manner. I have alloderm... would you rather talk by phone?

    Hi Wanda! I was trying to find your profile so I could give you a better answer, but I could not find it. It is a process and not knowing exactly where you are it is hard to say what lies ahead for you, but I do NOT want you to get discouraged. You have to allow your body to heal and the blood supply to regenerate before you can continue. After I had my implants, I waited 3 months before I could have the "fat grafting & nipple recomstruction" surgery. My implants are 700cc, which sounds huge, but considering there is no breast tissue they are not that big. My "other" girls were a bit bigger than these. I realize in my last picture they look gigantic when in reality they are proportional. I do not remember which profile we went with but that is a personal decision between you and your Dr. as to what fits your body best. My Dr is amazing ... If you would like to talk by phone please send me a personal email so we can chat. But please, hold the faith and be patient and kind to yourself.

    Getting the "nips" was a nice addition - I missed them the 6 mos they were gone! I added a new picture with the areolas tattooed. I think they look amazing!

    God is soooo very good! Be well and stay happy!
