Extremely Painful Recovery but Totally Worth It! - Denton,TX

Dr. Coffey is indeed a talented surgeon. He did my breast lift and implants four years ago, and then a revision when I got a contracture a year later. I am still so very thrilled with my results!

Thank you for telling me that, Karen! Makes me feel a lot better. 2 1/2 years later I am STILL thrilled I got this done. Would recommend Dr. Coffey to anybody.

Thank you very much! They are 400CC. I talk about it in a reply above, if you want more detail.

Thank you, Kimmers! Saline worked GREAT (nice and firm!) until I lost the breast fat. It's still a good option if you have some fat in your breasts naturally. Even my surgeon was surprised by how much fat I lost out of the girls!

Libella, The pain, it turns out, was bad more from the permanent stitches pushing against the breast tissue and incisions than from the actual incisions themselves. I learned this when I had the revision, which completely opened one breast up to replace the implant and re-did the incision under my breast on the other one to pick up the loose skin. Because he knew I took so well to the absorb-able stitches he didn't use permanent ones the second time and there was literally almost no pain at all.

I'd HIGHLY recommend taking pain meds as the doctor prescribes them and staying ahead of the pain.

Pain aside, the surgery is totally worth it. While I can still see the incision lines and probably already will, they are greatly faded and not more than worth the effects of the surgery. If your surgeon has a good reputation, just relax and look forward to your new profile!
