Reverse abdominoplasty & surprise implant swap due to rupture
My review is for a reverse tummy tuck. The site didn't give me that option to choose. I went to Dr. Nichols and he took the time to talk to me about options during my consult, instead of just telling me what I needed like others had done. Also, there is a difference between a PLASTIC Surgeon and a COSMETIC Surgeon. They can both do procedures and both are board certified doctors, but there is a lot more training involved to become board certified in plastic surgery. I'm sure

No Regrets! This Was Truly Life Changing for Me .
I’ve struggled with upper back and neck pain for over a decade carrying size 38DD-DDD. I am only on post op day 4, but what a huge difference this surgery has made on me. I no longer feel the heaviness from my chest weighing me down. I am so excited to be fully healed. Absolutely life changing experience! Definitely worth it!

385cc after 2 kids. 32 years old.
I got 385 cc sientra gummy bear round implants and I love the results. I only wish I had gone bigger but I am still super happy with them. My recovery was great. I was not super sore or in a lot of pain at all which is great because The pain meds and after affects of anesthesia made me very sick. Sicker than most, but I feel like that's rare. So sick I couldn't believe I had done that to myself. After a few days I finally felt normal and not like I had vertigo. I would 100% do
I have 19 year old boobies again!!!
Superb doctor. Very knowledgeable. Realistic. Went in for a breast reduction came out looking like a million bucks. Healing is going great. He did a excellent job on my boobies. If your deciding if Nichols is the Doctor for your breast reduction, then I'm telling you that it will be a great decision.

31, 5'2", 130lbs, no kids - 360cc saline, under the muscle implants
I have been small chested my entire life. Coming from a family of well endowed ladies, I patiently waited for my breasts to appear throughout my teens and early twenties. After all that waiting, I managed to top out at barely fitting a 32B. And as my stepmother used to say, I could wear a bandaid over my nipples, go bra-free and no one would know. While I have loosely toyed with the idea of breast augmentation since my late teens, I always hesitated to move forward due to the

Skin and Nipple Sparing Bilateral Mastectomies with Immediate Placement of Tissue Expander/alloderm - Tacoma, WA
Foobs. Fake boobs. Rising out of nothingness…Suddenly. In Biblical fashion. The surgeons very kindly took me seriously when I said the prospect of traditional dual mastectomy horrified me. They inflated temporary tissue expanders to about half capacity before I left the operating room. So when I explored my chest in the recovery room there were these little convexities–booblets–complete with my very own nipples, right where I’d expect to find them. Mightily encouraged

Great Work - Tacoma, WA
I am very pleased with how my surgery turned out. Prior to surgery I was a 36G I was experiencing awful back pain and needed to do something. I was able to go through my insurance company and have them help with the procedure cost. I am still a bit swollen but I believe I will be roughly a 36D now, which excited me! I am 6 weeks post op now, and can't wait to continue my recovery and enjoy my results.

TT and Umbilical (Incisional) Hernia Combined Procedure - Tacoma, WA
My incision from a prior surgery has split open and it was repaired with just sutures the first time. This time I'm having a mesh repair and muscle plication through a full Tummy Tuck incision and hoping this will be my last surgery ever. I have a general surgeon and plastic surgeon working together. My biggest concern is possible umbilical necrosis ( dead belly button) because I have had three prior medical abdominal surgeries using that incision. I'm not doing this so much

5 Days Until BA!!!! Tacoma, WA
Hey guys! Like most women on here, i too am getting breast augmentation...Soon! This is something that i have wanted for many many years. I am 27 years old and come from a family of very small breasts. I have put so much thought into this especially now that i am married and the thought of having kids in the future almost made me wait to get them done. My breasts have always remained the same since i could remember. No matter how much weight i have loss or gained, the girls stayed
