Breast explanation with lift
After 15 years with my breast implants I chose to have them removed with a lift. I have never been happier! I did not have any complications but over time they had become larger and sagging. I went from a 34 DDD to a 34 A/B and am loving my new shape! No regrets!!
I Had an Amazing Life Changing Experience
I went to her on my 18th birthday to get a breast augmentation. Live been waiting for this day my whole life! She did such a wonderful job!! Having her as my surgeon was the best choice ever! I've had body dysmorphic disorder growing up and she really made a difference. She made me feel comfortable and confident about my appearance. She fixed me right up, from being flat chested, to having big perky breasts!:) She's very honest and made my breasts beautiful. I would highly recommend
A very good experience
I always felt that I was very well cared for while under her care. The whole team was fabulous! My Surgery was three days ago and even though Im in the healing process everything looks wonderful. So far I have not been in alot of pain and very little bleeding has occurred. I will keep updating you all. I can't believe I can see my waist now!
Turned out well
Had a lower face-lift and no one can believe I'm 73. First several weeks were an ordeal, bruising made me not want to go out and had trouble sleeping, but what can one expect from having your skin cut, stretched and stitched. Told her it was important for me to look natural and she said she never does anything else. Very happy with results.

Saline to Silicone Implant Exchange
I have a very wide sternum and an extremely thin frame, which presents a unique challenge for breast implants. I have also breastfed 3 kids! I was unhappy with my prior saline implants that were from my teenage years. I am now 32 and went to see a popular plastic surgeon. I am only 2 weeks post op but am happy thus far with my new silicone implants. I wanted more cleavage and more volume. I also wanted a more natural feel. Given my frame is quite tiny, I didn't want to go overboard.

Finally Inflated the Boobs! - Springfield, MO
I am so happy I finally got my new boobs! I have wanted to do this for so long but I knew my husband would not want me to do the procedure because of his insecurities. I did it anyway for me and my self confidence. He did not understand but after he was done pouting, he is happy I did go through with it!! I followed my PS advice and went over the muscle HP Mentor 550cc. I am so pleased.
I am scheduled for a SMAS (mini) facelift in two days. I am a little nervous for the general anesthesia and the aftermath surgery pain. However, I am excited, too. My goal is to lift the lower and mid face. I am starting to look like my mother! I don't care about looking 25 again. I just want a refreshing look. I've tried more conservative ways, such as fillers, but they only do so much. My husband thinks I'm crazy for doing this, as he thinks I look just fine. I warned him 10
I went to another Dr in town and I was comfortable with her. I decided on 350 CC mentor moderate implants placed over the muscle. I didn't have trouble with them, but they were saggy and I was not happy. At that point my Dr recommended that I go with a larger implant and I was skeptical at first but trusted her knowledge. She removed my 350CC and replaced with a much too large implant for my body structure. She changed to a 550 CC so that it was tight and my skin was not saggy.

My Reduction - Springfield, MO
I loved everything about Dr Garrison and her workers. they were all very nice and caring. I'm having a mini abdominalplasty now this year. She's as concerned about me as my own family would be. I have recommended her to family and friends- I am even thinking of my twin sister coming out here for a breast reduction from CT.

40 Years Old, 2 Augmentations, 17 Years Later... - Springfield, MO
I chose to remove my breath implants and have reconstruction after years of pain. I went from a 34HH to a now 36DD with no implants. The surgery itself took about three hours and I had lots of scar tissue due to the encapsulated implant and two previous augmentations. I don't have sensation back yet, but my nipple are very responsive so I am sure once all the swelling is gone I will begin to feel again. I would HIGHLY recommend this surgery if you are no longer happy with
