My experience with Dr. White has been absolutely amazing! Dr White is very informative & she's a very patient person. She was always willing to answers all of my questions and I have never felt rushed during the initial consultation nor any of the follow-up appointments. She does have $50 dollar consultation fee and it took 3 months to get in. I didn't mind because she is totally worth the fee and wait. I had a plus size tummy tuck /Lipo. I'm very pleased with my results and I would do it all over again. At this time I'm 4 months PO
My experience with Dr. White was absolutely amazing! Dr. White was able to work with me in a short length of time due to a bad experience with another PS. My 1st consultation with Dr. White was 12/10/2020, 12/17/2020 I received a call my procedure was approved. I cannot say how appreciative I am I was referred to Dr. White by my WL doctor. Dr. White and her staff are professional, prompt and the bedside manners are beyond excellent. I highly recommend anyone to contact her office. You will not be disappointment!
It is finally my time to take care of me! So thankful that I ended up going with Dr White. Very informative & she answered questions that I had & gave additional info. One lead staff member is not friendly or helpful but other staff very sweet & helpful & willing to help. The wait times should be improved. Walls are very thin so keep in mind someone else can hear your convos. There is a $50 consult fee in place that is higher than normal which is normally free. Called after hours about emergency meds & didn't get call back until later next day which is unacceptable. Overall good dr.
I'm happy to have found a community of women sharing their breast augmentation experiences, and I thought I would add mine. I'm 21 years-old, 5'3" and 115lbs. I currently wear a 30C/D bra, and I would like to go larger while still looking as natural as possible. I think my breasts are beautiful now, and I would like to maintain their current shape and nipple placement, but I've always been self-conscious about their size because they disappear under clothing unless I wear a push-up bra. My plastic surgeon also did my mom's BA and my mom's turned out fantastic and entirely natural looking and feeling after only 8 months. After much discussion with my PS, we've decided that I'll be going with 220-230cc smooth silicone (Mentor) moderate plus implants placed under the muscle through an incision in the breast fold. I am a bit nervous that they will be smaller than I would like based off of other before and after pictures I've seen, but I trust my PS and she insists that given the current volume of my breasts and my small frame, 230cc's is as large as she is willing to go and still maintain a natural look. I have already filled all my prescriptions, and I'm planning on staying with my parents for a week or two after the procedure. Starting tomorrow I have to start showering with Hibiclens soap (sp?) in preparation for the surgery. I'm not nervous about the surgery itself, and I think that I have a realistic outlook regarding the recovery process, so honestly just the waiting period over the next week is the hardest part for me. I just want them done. Updated on 25 Oct 2015: I'm four days away now, and I just want the day to get here already. I've been obsessively cleaning my apartment, doing laundry, and reorganizing everything to lower shelves in my house. I've also been preparing things to do (downloading books, bought the Sims) in the first couple weeks post-op to avoid going stir-crazy. Any suggestions about keeping myself occupied? I bought a bed wedge to help keep me at a 45 degree angle that should also hopefully take some pressure off of my lower back. I used to be a dedicated back sleeper, but back pain and spasms kind of forced me into exclusively sleeping on my side. I told my PS about it and she said she may be able to prescribe me muscle relaxers for the spasms, although she mentioned that mixing muscle relaxers and pain killers can be dangerous. I've added some pre-op photos to show what I look like from the side and in a regular string triangle bikini. I'm quite excited to eventually compare my before and after pictures. Updated on 28 Oct 2015: It's 8:00 pm where I am right now, which means I'll be going into surgery in less than 12 hours, and I'm starting to feel anxious. I've probably been on this site way too much and am just freaking myself out. Honestly a lot of the reviews seem largely negative, particularly through the healing process, which is a little strange to me because everyone I know in real life who have gotten them done (particularly with my doctor) said it was a breeze. I'm just trying to remain positive and take it easy. I'm already staying at my parents' house that's only 5 minutes away from where I'm getting my surgery done, and it's been nice and comforting being back home. I'm about to take my stool softener and put on my scopolamine patch before I hit the hay. I have one final wish picture that I want to show my plastic surgeon, because I really want to emphasize that the most important things to me (besides the size) are maintaining my current nipple placement, and having the smallest gap possible between my breasts. I think they're reasonable requests given the current appearance of my breasts, and the conservative size implant I've chosen. I guess I'm also a little worried about the incision; my doctor said that she usually makes a 6 cm incision for silicone implants which sounds huge to me considering how narrow my chest is already, but ultimately I trust her and I'll just hope for the best. I don't have cold feet or anything, I've been absolutely sure that I want a breast augmentation for the past 4 years, and honestly the only reason I waited so long was because I knew I wanted silicone implants. Now that it's actually happening the nerves are finally setting in. I hope these feelings are normal! Sorry my post sounds so negative, I've just read a lot of bad reviews that have me bummed out. Feel free to comment or ask questions and please please please feel free to link your happy, positive reviews! Updated on 29 Oct 2015: Well ladies, I did it. After about an hour of signing paperwork and getting my vitals taken, they gave me a sedative just to relax before surgery started and instead I fell asleep and woke up with new boobs! My doctor ended up going with 250cc Mentor moderate plus silicone implants, and I'm thrilled that she didn't go smaller. I'm not in much pain, except for my upper back and the sides of my ribs. I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia so I went straight to sleep as soon as I got home and woke up and felt pretty good. I've been walking around a bit, and I ate I good sized lunch. I've been able to go to the bathroom myself and get myself out of bed alone, but opening a pill bottle is too difficult for me to do by myself. I've included a couple post-op pictures, please excuse all the purple ink. One of my breasts is flatter at the bottom than the other, which is a little concerning so I'm going to bring that up with her during my post-op tomorrow morning. However, I'm so happy and relieved that they're finally done, and I'll try to keep you all posted during the recovery phase. Updated on 1 Nov 2015: Three days into my recovery I can say that it's been pretty smooth and easy. The day of surgery and the day after I had massive pain in my sternum and sides, but that's all pretty much gone now. My PS showed me arm raising exercises to do that helped tremendously with relieving the pain in my sternum. I can get in and out of bed by myself and do most other things on my own. I'm off all prescription pain meds and now am just taking ibuprofen and muscle relaxers. And I finally had a full bowel movement this morning! The straight line where my incision is has mostly rounded itself out as my implants have started to drop and the swelling has gone down a bit. They're not nearly as firm as they were the first and second days, and they're actually quite soft on the bottom and the outsides. I'm able to shower again and yet the purple markings still won't completely come off. Overall I'm thrilled with the results thus far. I asked Updated on 11 Nov 2015: Well I've nearly hit the two week mark. I'm a little disappointed with my progress healing, but I'm probably just being too impatient. My breasts still haven't really dropped at all, and are still almost as high and as swollen as my last update. However, they are very soft and squishy, almost like natural breasts aside from the fact that they're still a bit tender to the touch. The fact that they are so soft actually worries me more; how can they be so soft and still show no signs of dropping? I've included a video to show their movement. I still have the original tape on my incisions, which still sting occasionally. I've regained feeling in my right nipple and in the lower parts of both breasts. My nipples seem to have gone back to their normal sensitivity, because I haven't experienced the painful hypersensitivity that other women have described. My areolas and the skin around them have become quite chapped though, probably due to the stretching and changing weather, so I've had to start slathering Aquaphor on them before bed, otherwise they get really itchy and irritated. I went to my second post-op visit with my surgeon last week, and she thinks everything is going fine, which I guess should alleviate my fears. She did caution that it may take a long time to see my breasts fully drop (she said up to a year, like jeez) because I'm so young and my muscles and tissues are more firm and tight than older patients. She's pleased with the progress in my straight-looking incision and believes it will completely round itself out in due time. Because they're still so high, she recommended that I just go braless and wear my strap as much as possible. I'm still unable to exercise, and I have to continue sleeping on my back for several more weeks. All in all, my impatience is causing my boobie blues. I know they need more time, and that I'll eventually love the way they look, but I can barely stand to look at myself topless anymore, whereas I used to be quite comfortable in the buff. My only consolation is how great they look braless in low-cut shirts, and thankfully this warm Texas weather is allowing me more revealing wardrobe options. Updated on 14 Nov 2015: This didn't upload with my last post. Updated on 14 Nov 2015: I feel a little better about my boobs today. I went to go get sized for a wire-free bra at Nordstrom's because these bralettes aren't cutting it, especially now that I've regained sensation and sensitivity to cold in my nipples. I kind of anticipated that I would be about two cup sizes larger than my previous 30C/D and I was actually worried that they wouldn't have bras that fit me. So I explained my situation to a new bra fitter who brought in her manager to measure me and sure enough I'm a 30DDD (30E). They didn't have any wire-free bras in that size so I went home with 2 32DD bras, and found out that they do carry 30DDD soft cup bras...which means I have to go back and return my bras which is mildly irritating. When I got home I did measurements of my own, and I'm really supposed to be wearing a 28F, but it's practically impossible to find soft bras in that size, so I just gave up and put another bralette back on. I ordered silicone pasties off of Amazon to wear until I can start wearing underwire bras again. How long do I have to wait to wear underwire bras if my incision is in the inframammary fold? Updated on 2 Dec 2015: I cannot express how extremely impressed I am by these silicone scar sheets. I've been using them for only about a week, nearly 24 hours a day, and my scars have shown a massive improvement already. They are already flat and much softer, and look awesome aside from the dry peely skin along the incision. I'm actually so impressed, and they're completely concealed in my breast fold when I'm upright, so that's great. My breasts are a little bit of a different story. They still haven't dropped much, and are still slightly swollen on top, although they are very soft and realistic feeling. They move fairly naturally and are a lot less tender to the touch than last week. The bad news is that I have a massive break out of acne in my cleavage area. I'm talking like 2 dozen tiny pimples in between my breasts and they itch and they're ugly and painful. I looked online and saw this is a somewhat common problem among some women due to the skin stretching and drying out, but it's so frustrating because it's visible in any low cut top and I've never had acne in that area before. Right now I'm using my face wash and clarisonic to clean that area like I clean my face, and I've been applying low dose Retin-A to hopefully end the break out and reduce the pigmentation. I feel generally back to normal, I'm still a little weak using my pec muscles, and I get a strange stretching pain along my ribs underneath my incision during certain movements, but I'm almost clear to resume all normal activities. Updated on 8 Dec 2015: I just had my 6 week post op appointment and everything is going swimmingly. I've been cleared to resume all my normal activities, including wearing underwire bras and lifting weights. My breasts still have a lot of dropping to do, but my PS said that they're pretty much the size that they're going to be, which is great because the bras that I (naively) bought 2 weeks post-op still fit. So I guess I'll actually be a 30DDD/32DD. They're super soft and they're supposed to get even softer. They don't have a lot of bounce yet, but I can move them around pretty much like natural breasts. My scars are still pretty hard, but they look good and have flattened out nicely.
Being 45 and having an 18 and a 21 year old, it was hard to keep telling people I just hadn't lost my baby weight yet. After being diagnosed as a diabetic and losing 40 lbs rough yoga, my breasts were still not going anywhere, and it was the only thing that people kept commenting on. Weighing 210 and wearing a 38 H to an I, but shoving them into a G was my life. I finally took the plunge. They removed over 2.1 lbs from each breast, doing the anchor cut, did some liposuction as well. Being told to bring in a button-up short post surgery, I kind of had to laugh. there was no such animal in my closet. Insurance covered my procedure 100 percent after our deductible. The procedure was 4 plus hours, and I was sent home that day. Seemed kind of harsh to me, but that is the way most surgeries are done now. The most irritating part was the drains and the itching, not being able to sleep on my stomach. Forced lots of water with lemon to help detox the body, and eating well, for the most part. Lots of lean protein and veggies. Used Arnica oil for the bruising, antibacterial soap ALWAYS before touching, dressing, etc., as well as in the shower, and when needed, Benadryl topical for the itching. The best part was no more shoulder and back pain. Now just being impatient and wanting to be able to begin to exercise!!!!
I had a consultation appt with Dr. White and we submitted to my health insurance for approval. As I waited for their decision, I succombed to the devil of snapchat surgeries and watched more surgeries than I ever need to see. This first scared me out of surgery, then I realized that the surgery details of her surgical technique that Dr. White told me are her process and are important to her for her pts healing are not standard of all surgeons. This made me appreciate all the details she mentioned that I didn't acknowledge as important when she told them to me Ultimately my insurance denied. And now I'm saving to pay for this because I can appreciate Dr White for what she said and how she made me feel about the surgery. Dr. White appears amazing and I'm excited to have her as my surgeon.
