  • Posted to Has anyone needed a moderate profile implant for one breast and a high profile for the other because of scoliosis? on 25 Feb 2013

    Glad you are feeling better about it now. it does take time to tell for sure... My surgery was Feb. 1. I was 36AA before surgery and had 265 moderate on Left and 350 high profile on right. I picked my sizes after trying on sizers in his office. I did not want anyone to tell I had done this, so went quite conservative with the size. I wore a highly padded bra before and now I don't look much bigger than before but now I at least fill out a bra and fill out a swimsuit etc. I could have gone bigger but I didn't want to regret going too big... I can always wear a bra with some padding if I want to be bigger (I have to keep telling myself that. It's amazing how if you have nothing you think you'll be happy with anything)I have seen my doctor 3 times already after my surgery and he is pleased with how even they look. I went with Dr. James Clayton. I am 3 weeks post op and still waiting for them to drop and to see how they change...Do you think yours are so uneven that it is noticeable in clothes to you? I'm sure your doctor will do a re-do for you, but maybe you won't need one once they settle into place. :)

    Kimothy, So sorry to hear this. Did your doctor help you pick your size? Did you use the sizers before hand. It is such a hard thing to determine size/profile and hard to know how it will look after. Does your doctor think they will even out? Was your chest wall different or just breast tissue? If you don't mind me asking, what size were you before surgery? I would suggest asking the doctor what he can do if it doesn't even out because he is the "artist". I hate feeling like we have to pick the size and it's our decision, the doctor should make sure it is mostly even ( we know it's not perfect, but at least better than pre-surgery). I wish you the best.

    Kimothy, how did your operation go? I wish I had seen your post earlier. I went with 265 moderate left and high profile right 350. They look super even, it is amazing. I'm so glad I went with different profiles even though it was a little scary. Good luck and I hope you have fabulous results!
  • Posted to Has Anyone Used Dr Kirk Moore in Utah for Rapid Recovery BA? - Salt Lake City, UT on 5 Feb 2013

    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.
  • Posted to 2 months Post-op 300cc, Happy with D&F progress! on 28 Jan 2013

    So glad to hear how well you're doing. You look great. I'm scheduled for this Friday! (can't believe I'm really doing this...) I haven't told a soul either (except of course my wonderful hubby). I'm going with a similar size 265-325 and I'm hoping no one will notice. Has it worked out for you to not tell anyone? I'm hoping it all goes smoothly and I don't have to let others know.
