I have wanted implants since my teenage years in my 40s I decided to go for it. Dr. Barton was my first choice, I work in the medical field and had heard he was particularly great at breast augmentation. It's been almost 2 years and I am still in love. He walked me through the entire process and throughout my entire journey I always felt I was in great hands. I will add pics to this review soon. He is such a great doctor with amazing surgical skills as well as a good eye.
Hello beautiful ladies! I am new to RealSelf but have been following all of the posts involving anything boob related for some time now! I love this site! It's more addicting than Facebook! So here is some stats about me: I'm 26 yrs old 5' 6.5" 142 lbs Wear a small B cup I have 1 child that is almost 2 and am married to my awesome husband.Back about 6-7 years ago I had undergone a donut mastopexy bc I have tubular breasts... And well, after not doing what I was suppose to do like not smoke, take it easy so I could heal properly...and well, after getting pregnant, they kinda went south again. Note: I did not breast feed either.Sooo.. I have been obsessing over getting a boob job since the mastopexy and my former PS wanted me to wait Til after I had kids, so here I am. One and done! I have my first consult back with my former PS January 15th. Nervous. My former sister in law had a breast aug a few yrs back and she acted as if it was awful! So I'm kinda scared because I do have a clingy mommys boy and I can't sit still. I'm always up doing something.. Can yo say OCD or ADD! Lol I've not gotten any weight to lose ( gained 45lbs with baby) and am now back lower than pre-pregnancy weight) so that is one thing I'm not worried about afterwards. So any advice, tips, etc would be greatly appreciated ladies! I will post pics soon of my embarrassing "elephant trunks" as I call them! I'm so self conscious of them it physically makes me nauseous thinking about it! Will update soon! Updated on 6 Jan 2014: Oh I am so nervous about posting this, but here goes.. Updated on 6 Jan 2014: Updated on 6 Jan 2014: I forgot to add that in addition to looking into a lift, I am also wanting to get an augmentation as well. A good full C is what I would like to have. Nothing ginormous because I love working out/running. Ok, will continue to follow and update soon! Updated on 9 Jan 2014: I know my boobs will never look this awesome because of how saggy they are pre-op, but hey and gal can dream right?! Updated on 9 Jan 2014: I go to meet with my PS next Wednesday.. excited and nervous. I don't know if they surgery part or whole process is what's making me nervous, or if it's the big chunk of money I will be spending on something that can either go perfectly and give me beautiful results, or it can go all ways but right and be just as ugly :( It is alot of money! Im so nervous, what if something major comes up and I wont be able to pay the stupid payment! I know that is crazy, but I ALWAYS worry about things like that. I know some of you all would be like, well if you aren't sure if you can afford it, then don't do it.. lol anyways, having a freak out moment. First of many. It is getting surreal. I just really wanna feel beautiful in my skin and with these ugly ass boobs, I will never feel that way... Night all beauties! Updated on 12 Jan 2014: This is with 325cc rice sizers.. Think I could go a little bigger, maybe. What so you ladies think? Updated on 12 Jan 2014: Updated on 15 Jan 2014: Soooo I'm sitting here waiting to meet with my PS! Will update after I see him! I'm so nervous yet excited. I just hope we can work out a plan for these babies! Updated on 16 Jan 2014: I met with my PS yesterday. Still very pleased with his professionalism and caring attitude. He suggested that I particularly do not need a lift, that once he gets an implant sub pectoral in there it will fill out my breasts enough that it will lift on there own? And that he would do a perioareolar incision and take off some of my lower nipple where it had grown outside of the scar from my precious mastopexy. Also he didn't feel comfortable doing an augment and mastopexy at the same time. Said there would b too much compromise to the blood flow the nipple. If I wanted itty bitty nipple he would do a mastopexy later if I wanted but he is very confident that I will b pleased with an augment only and that once I have full breast volume again my nipple will look a little smaller even tho they will be stretched out from the implant. I'm still iffy about this I don't want these bologna nipples with these perfectly shaped breasts... But I trust him I really do. He talked with me over an hr and really listened. He said also that if I ever wanted more kids he wouldn't do them bc it would b a waste of money... I could always just do the mastopexy again and do implants later ( if I decided on more kids). I don't want anymore but my husband does so this could cause problems. Hmmmm. But I am to call him back after I discuss this in length AGAIN with the Hubs and no bad luck.. Surgery will be beginning of March. No date yet but he said whatever I decide he will make me beautiful again come march! Also we did sizers and he didn't want to go no bigger than 350cc saline. I don't want silicone. The 350cc looked nice on my body and will give me a full C. Updated on 26 Apr 2014: Hello ladies! I had my breast augmentation yesterday. . Which I did not have to have a lift, just the augmentation. I am very satisfied and am just really sore. I don't remember much from yesterday cause I was so groggy. But here us a before and after! Updated on 26 Apr 2014: I had 350 cc in the left and 385cc in the right. Dual plane with periareolar incision. Updated on 28 Apr 2014: I was barely a B cup, probably an A to be honest. I had my procedure April 25th. Dual plane areolar incision 350cc in the left and 385cc in the left. I had a mastopexy about 7 years ago because I had what was called tuberous breast. That helped somewhat with the shape then and after having really engorged breasts after my son was born that helped shaped my breasts even more. So here I am 3 days post op breast augmentation! I'll post before and after, rice sizers too. Updated on 6 May 2014: I'm feeling great! The first few days was a little rough but seriously nothing like I thought. My boobs are really heavy feeling but that's expected considering what I was used to having. Updated on 6 May 2014: So a run down on my surgery day: Arrived a few hrs before my surgery time. Went back at 9. I didn't get done until almost 2! I had a really constricted breast (right) bc as mentioned before I used to have mild tubular breasts before my mastopexy years ago. He said he worked for a couple hrs just on my right breast. I was terribly sick afterwards from the pain meds even with a scopolomine patch for nausea. After 2 hrs in recovery and IV reglan I was able to go back to the hotel. I was in and out of it all evening and slept most of the night. No real pain but very sore in my breast bone and sides of my breast and pressure/tightness. My dr came to the hotel that night to check on me and I seen him that next am in his office. Things have been pretty good so far. I'm back to normal except for my working out. I can't lift weights yet but am walking and able to push my 2 year old in his stroller. Had my stitches removed yesterday and everything looks great. Updated on 29 May 2014: I feel wonderful! Breasts have dropped and are more natural looking which is the look I was going for. Hope everyone is healing well!
