Dr Caplin and her husband Dr Nuveen did an amazing job on my full body lift. The after care and level of concern has been helpful and I have nothing but good to say about them and their work. I consulted with several experts before settling on Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates and I couldn't be happier.
I’ve been flat chested my entire life. I’m not even sure flat chested really describe it! I had nothing! I’ve never really felt attractive or like a woman and have wanted a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been worried about what other people might say but I put that behind me and dove straight in. I wish I would have done this years ago. I am so happy. First of all, I had the most wonderful surgeon and facility. I had tons of questions and was never made to feel like an inconvenience. Every staff member made me feel welcomed and very well taken care of. Dr. Caplin is such a wonderful doctor to work with, she understood what I was wanting and helped me pick a size that would take me where I wanted but also was honest with my limitations. Which I definitely appreciated. I went with 695cc Natrella gummy bear implant for each breast, which to some on here is very large for the first time but I wanted to be big, so that size was perfect for me. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sore but other than that it’s been a relatively easy recovery. I’m very sensitive to anesthesia so at a little over a week out I’m still very tired but I have not needed pain medication since day two. I can’t recommend Dr.caplin enough, I highly recommend, and should I ever need anything else I will absolutely go back to her. I’m so happy with my results at only a week out and can’t wait to see what they do when they officially drop and fluff! Updated on 8 Aug 2020: I am in love. I’m still just as happy if not more with my decision than I was less than 24 hours after. They are dropping really nicely, the left faster than the right which I expected since I am right handed and that muscle has always been stronger. As they have dropped I’ve had some increased sensitivity and slight nerve pain. All to be expected especially around week three. Truly my only complaint is that sleeping on my side is still a no go. It’s just uncomfortable. Other than that I feel like I’m doing very well and things are progressing nicely for not even a month out!
So to start this off I have always had big breasts I started to develop them in the seventh grade. They just kept getting bigger and bigger. It made me very self-conscious about my body because I would always get teased so I would hide under a big hoodies and shirts. I am still very self-conscious about my body and won't wee anything fitting because of these ginormous tits! Lol So I had a consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates with Dr. Caplan and she was amazing she did my lower body lift a year ago so I was already comfortable with her and knew she was skilled at her job. So here is a before picture. Updated on 30 Mar 2020: 3/19/20 We had to be at the Doctor office at 7:30. When we got there I talked more with my PS more and she answered anymore questions I had. She is so great and takes her time and is very thorough, which I love most in a doctor. I took we about 20 minutes to mark me up and then I was back getting my IV and meds. Here are some day of pics! I couldn’t stop looking at them! I did pay extra for this thing calls PICO Wrap. And is a battery operated bandage that puts off negative pressure and helps it heal 2x as fast! I stays on for 7 days then shut off! I was very happy with it. The biggest con I had was that It would vibrate every 5 minutes! Updated on 30 Mar 2020: 3/20/20 Last year I had a lower body life a long with liposuction on my putter thighs and back. The liposuction was the worst pain. I promised my self I wouldn’t get it again! Well my left boob was so much bigger than my right that she actually had to do lipo on my boob!!! It hurt but noting like my thighs. It’s still more sore compared to my right and more swollen. But they look so good. Updated on 30 Mar 2020: 3/22/20 My left breast was hurting a lot more and the bruising is about 10x worse than my right. But that’s from the lipo and expected. Updated on 30 Mar 2020: 3/27/2@ One week after the PICO came off! I was so ready! It was driving me crazy! I’m so amazed by how they look and how perky they are! I couldn’t wait To go to Walmart to get a bra! If you have big boobs then you know how hard it is to buy and good bra and how expensive they are! So being able to buy a bra for $12 was mind blowing! I ended up getting a sports bra for compression because I think I read somewhere that you need one for at least two weeks after surgery. I bough a large!! Wow!! It’s getting loser now that swelling is going down but I’m just so happy for easier bra shopping!! Updated on 22 Dec 2020:
I’m 30 years old and has been living with a body I hate for 15 years. I have a 14yo son that was 9lbs when he was born and since then I’ve wanted my stomach fixed. I waited till I was done having kids to get this surgery done. It’s 21 days till my surgery and it seems so far! My husband has only seen me naked twice at my consultation with my PS. Here are some of my before pics. I can’t even believe I’m posting them here. Updated on 14 May 2019: I’m so nervous/scared! I forgot my ID on the way and had to turn around. On our way now! Wish me luck! Updated on 15 May 2019: So after I woke up from surgery I was in tons of pain. Mostly my thighs and back from the Lipo my incision doesn’t hurt to much. I do get sharp pains here and there. I spelt ok. They let me stay in their suit so I would t have to drive and house to get back up there at 7:45. I like around an hour away. But over all today and last night has been great! Updated on 15 May 2019: My dr was the best! She was so sweet and went over everything with me and answered all my questions. She also checked on me so many times! I would highly recommend her Updated on 15 May 2019: Here’s my after pics of surgery yesterday Updated on 15 May 2019: Not the upper side kind of on my back is hurting. My husband has to help me up and down. He’s taking very good care of me! So I also went and bought this anti gravity chair from kohl’s and I could recommend anyone getting this surgery to invest In one the these chars Updated on 17 May 2019: Eve where is bruised. My thighs my back my tummy. Just everything. My feet are swollen. But I did walk to the store today. I’m still really hunched over. I took two weeks off but my dr wants me off for 4 weeks. I’m scared my boss is going to be so mad. Any way here are some pics from today Updated on 17 May 2019: All I do is get up to use the restroom and sleep. My husband does make me walk around some. My incision is so itchy. It’s driving me crazy. I still can’t make It 6 hrs till my next dose of pain meds. I’m in pain all the time. Where I got the lipo is the worse bruises. Updated on 19 May 2019: So to get outta he House last night me and my husband went to the mall to look for a robe, well that was so luck because the are all quarter sleeve and I wan full and comfy. So no lunch there but it was nice to get it and look around. He did push me in a wheelchair and I walked so bu didn’t over do it. The past few days I’ve just slept literally slept the whole day. I’ve been taking stool softness and Gentle laxatives and they are working so I have t been constipated. My only discomfort is my drain tube that’s in my groin. But it should come out soon. My regular depression and anxiety medicine combined with my pain medication is making me so emotional. It’s awful. So I’ll catch everyone up again soon! Until then God less! Updated on 24 May 2019: So I took another two weeks off of work because I ended up with a blood clot in my stomach. Still have my drain tube it doesn’t hurt but is really annoying lol! I sleep a lot. And I am still in pain. I don’t know how long your supposed to be in pain? It’s eased up a little bit not a ton. And my left leg and foot are so swollen. Updated on 25 May 2019: Still really swollen but my doc said I could be for months. So no big deal. Hopefully getting the drain out Tuesday, that’s my next appointment. But I’m still draining around 75ml a day. My left foot is still swollen and I just want sleep all the time. I’m down to just Tylenol for pain. Over all I’m loving my results so far! I picked the best, caring doctor I cold have. Anyone in Oklahoma look her up, schedule a consultation! Updated on 25 May 2019: So I was on my pain meds so I decided what I was going to wear to church tomorrow (yes I know it’s 12:00am and there and. Tornados everywhere) so check out my pic just and outfit thrown together. My torso is flat and I’m amazed. And and check out my custom blood bulb!???????? and I’m still waaaaay swollen. My doc said I could be swollen up to 6months or more Updated on 26 May 2019: Just so everyone know my Dr rocks. I don’t know how to rate her but she’s amazing. She goes above and beyond. Her name is dr Courtney Caplin. I wold thank her every day if I could Updated on 30 May 2019: So I went for a on Tuesday and a knee the clot would still be there so I was fasting. They ended up I think they opened up the incision on the bottom left side. She also removed the drain tube because it was getting very dark okc blood. She explained but I don’t remember. Anyways she put a new one in on the left side and it hasn’t drained above 25ml since. The old was was getting over 100ml a day. Yesterday I was feeling awful. Where my drain new drain tube when in, and where m old one went out was so painful. My husband was at church camp so two of our kids, our oldest was at basketball camp so I had our youngest. My dad needed up driving me to my appointment and I stayed with him until my husband was able to pick me up. And my dad took great care of me and my 2 yo. Today I’m feeling great just a little more swollen on my left side but over all good! Thankful for Dr. Caplin for taking great care of me! I will get new updated pics soon! Thanks all for keeping up with me and all the kind worlds! Updated on 4 Jun 2019: So after my clot they put a new drain tube on the other side. Well I had it for a week and I’m so proud to so say I’m now TUBE FREE!! It did hurt when she pulled it out. It was messy and blood was everywhere but I made it though without crying. That’s a big deal I’m a big baby. Anyways she still wants me compressed in a wrap or something which I’m fine with because I feel better in one. I swell up pretty bad if I go without one for a while. Then I get sore. I tried to take some pics of my self so let me see if I got any good ones! Updated on 11 Jun 2019: Week four and I stared back to work yesterday! It went like any other day at work. Chase toddlers, change diapers and try to make it out alive! I feel great! I started walking two miles a day Sunday. And so far my quickest is 18 minutes a mile. My but hurts to run tho so that’s a no go for now. And my highs. I’m guessing from the lipo. I’m so happy so far! She said I could stop wearing compression after week four but. Feel better with it on. And I’m so stiff in the morning I’ll probably still sleep in it. Updated on 19 Aug 2019: I still am completely happy! I’ve never been so comfortable in my own skin. The best decision I have ever made for myself was to get this surgery. If your still on the edge of getting a lower body life, just do it. You will not regret it
I have been a mother since I was 16, three kids later I am now 24 and I decided it was time to have the body I never got the chance to have. I was looking for confidence and that’s what my surgeon gave me. It was priceless. Updated on 22 Apr 2019: I went with 450cc, silicone, under the muscle and the incisions were under the boob, already healing very well. I am beyond impressed with her work. She has made me very comfortable and checked on me through phone calls and sent in pictures. Updated on 28 Apr 2019: Healing very well! Still very proud of Dr.Caplin’s work! Little sore but not enough to even stay on any pain meds anymore! Very thankful I chose her for my surgery! Updated on 28 Apr 2019: No volume, barely a c cup, very unhappy with my breasts before surgery! Here are some before pictures! I was considering an Areola reduction, but my surgeon reassured me that once my breast size increased they would look proportionate to the rest of my breast. She was very honest and said that if I wasn’t happy with the circumference around 3-4 month post op she would help me with the areola reduction then! She was so right and I ended up loving them and they now look proportional to my breast size! I am so thankful I was able to trust her judgement! Updated on 17 May 2019: One of my boobs was hurting more than the other last week. It has stopped now but it was by the bottom and my nipples and behind nipples were really sensitive and sore! I’m feeling better now and I’m finally able to sleep on my side with minimum discomfort! Updated on 17 May 2019: I know when I was researching I felt that I wanted to see afters in bikini, tanks, more to see than just a few so I could be more excited about my results! That’s why I try to stay on top of pictures and updates ?? Updated on 26 Jun 2019: I love my new boobs! They are perfect! Forever grateful! They have a natural sag to them, yes they bounce now lol!! I was always worried about that! The scaring is looking so much better! I just got officially measured a week ago at 34DD Updated on 17 Sep 2019: This is how they are settling! I chose a high profile! I plan on going back in the next few years and going with 580cc! I love my results but it seems I am experiencing "boob greed" and I want a little bigger! Updated on 8 Dec 2019: Love them! Updated on 8 Mar 2020: They have settled to look more on the natural side I am wearing a dd now and sometimes even those my boobs hang out of a lot. I absolutely still love my boobs! Updated on 23 Jun 2020: Over a year update. Scars minimal. 34b/c to 34DD. 450CCS SILICONE 130 pounds 5 foot 3. It's been worth every penny, the confidence boost is needed especially if you have kids like I do. I have 3! I still highly recommend going to Oklahoma City for your breath implants at this office they've done amazing work. Updated on 18 Sep 2020: No bra picture After a year results. Settling well and look amazing without bra In a shirt. 450ccs Natural look and lots of side boob. Scars are minimal. Surgery changed my life with confidence in the bedroom and in general. If you're thinking about doing this DO IT. 100 PERCENT WORTH IT AND EASY RECOVERY IN MY OPINION.
I have been wanting a BA for years! Now that my youngest is 5 it's finally time! Even before children I was always uncomfortable with my breast size. Pre pregnancy/breastfeeding they at least had some volume and perk to them. Flash forward Poat pregnancy and post breast feeding and I'm left with deflated balloons called boobs! I am so excited to officially have my procedure booked! I have been researching like crazy trying to figure out size, etc. I wanted to start my own review to keep track of my journey . this site has helped answer so many questions during this planning phase- and I am sure I will have many more once I make it to the other side! I hate the idea of posting before pictures...but it won't be embarrassing for too long when I have the after to compare it to! Updated on 23 Jan 2017: So I made the at home rice sizer. I did the 2 cups of rice for the 475. I loved the size! I look at some of the reviews on here though and 475/500 looks huge on some people where as others it looks very fitting. I think I'm am over analyzing the whole size thing - my surgery is march 1 but I am flying out of state. My consultation was online so I haven't been to the office to try on their sizers. My first in office consult will be the same day as my surgery. My thoughts currently: 450-500cc. I'm currently 127lb and 5 ft. 7 and a 32 inch band size Updated on 3 Feb 2017: Updated on 26 Feb 2017: Omg! My flight is in 2 days and surgery in 3! 2 more wish pics for my consult Updated on 1 Mar 2017: Since I flew I. For my surgery I did the consult and procedure all in 1 day- we decided on 520 cc at my consult which is funny since my mom was saying don't go too big! After trying on several sizes we decided 520 looked best. They wheeled me back and said they were giving me something to relax- but after that I didn't even see the inside of the or! I was out! I don't even remember getting in the car to come home! Once at home the first few hours were awful! I couldn't function at all and it was more intense pain that I had imagined. Now a few hours after surgery I am able to get up and move around. I couldn't stand not seeing them so I took the bandages out and checked them out. For only a few hours out I'm in love!! Updated on 3 Mar 2017: 1st night was a hit rough sleeping. Ended up sleeping on the reclining chair in the sofa. Every time I had to get up though I felt like a turtle that had rolled over on it's shell lol. Still haven't quite perfected it but it is getting better. I was able to get up and go have lunch with my family and visit some friends and go for my post op appointment. In between the outings though I did take a nice long nap! Post op went well- no bruising so far. My righty is a little higher than the left so she gave me a strap to wear for a week. She took off the bandages and I was able to start wearing a sports bra which was much more comfortable! Day 2 I stuck to he main meds when scheduled but today is morning of post op day 3 and I have only taken ibuprofen- so far so good! Toughness is still there but significantly better. Love love love them so far! So happy I went slightly bigger than I originally was going to go. I think it suits my body better with my wide shoulders. Updated on 5 Mar 2017: My doctor said to taking vitamin e, milk thistle, and singular as of day 4- so now my daily regimen consists of the new medications + arnica supplements (although so far no bruising), stool softener, and muscle relaxer. I can get by with ibuprofen for pain but I feel the muscle relaxer really helps with the tightness! Some life savers I highly recommend: travel pillow for your neck- I didn't think I would need this but my goodness it's been a life saver! A heating pad for my back, ice packs for my chest, bendy straws- hmm I think those were the key items that are must haves!! I'm up and feeling good today- I can now say I understand what morning boob is! Whew! That heavy tight sore feeling is a different feeling for sure but ice packs seem to help a lot. I go back to work tomorrow but I'm feeling pretty good about it. Here's some updated pics! I can't believe they aren't as high as I expected. Doc said she puts them right where she wants them and not to massage unless she instructs other wise. Updated on 6 Mar 2017: I was a little nervous about returning to work today- but so far so good! Made it to my lunch break at least! Took ibuprofen this morning and then Tylenol a little later and the pain has been pretty manageable. I'm tired though- I'm sure by tonight I will be crashing early! The girls are still doing good! Not quite as tight- slightly more squishy today. Can't wait for them to soften up! They still feel really heavy when I stand up after sitting for a while. I keep resisting the urge to massage them to help them soften since the doc said not to- she said she has them where she wants them and I sure don't want to mess up her amazing work! Still feeling realllyyyy bloated- going to try and start increasing fluids and flush it out asap! Updated on 7 Mar 2017: Day 6! Pain level..1 at times- other times no pain at all! I'm over the moon with my results for less than a week. So this is how it feels to be able to fill out a short/bra?! I have not felt this way my whole life! I feel the size is perfect- so happy I bumped it up at the last minute. I was terrified of it being to much. Here are some pics with just a bralette with no padding and a plain ole tank top! Not to big at all. I think I am going to live in tank tops this summer lol. Speaking of summer- time to shed this bloating and get my belly flat again! Updated on 8 Mar 2017: Man never in a million years would I think bops greed would strike-but it is real for sure! I am still happy with the size and will be patient with the drop and fluff process. Plus I think walking down the street i don't scream boob job! It's already boosted my confidence level tremendously- so I think the greed will pass but I certainly glad I didn't go smaller! Here's some pics of my 1 week progress and the Girls dressed in an outfit for comparison clothed/not Updated on 9 Mar 2017: So I'm in love with the left side! She's cooperating nicely but the right rise seeps higher/smaller. I know from researching that this is perfectly normal for them to drop at different rates- I was so impatient waiting to get the procedure in the first place and was thinking I would embrace the drop and fluff phase but my impatient side is starting to come out again lol! Pain level today was low- didn't need any ibuprofen, but night time starts to bother me? And morning boob of course! Still using a heating pad at night and my handy neck pillow (more so just bc I have grown to actually like it!) Steri strips came off and incisions look good for this point in the process I think! Updated on 12 Mar 2017: So I have to say I love my lefty and patiently waiting for righty to catch up and look as good! But I honk it's helpful to track my progress for my own sanity and in case it helps anyone else! (Plus- I highly recommend doing this bc it gets really confusing looking at left/right bc some are taken in the mirror, etc lol) I know I'm early in the recovery game therefore not worried! I'm right handed and k ow your dominant hand seems to the be one that lags behind. My doc did recommend some massaging to help the dropping process so I have started that a few days ago and can see subtle differences already. I believe my left has begun to develop mondors cord. I emailed photos to the doc this morning so we shall see- again not worried as my research here on rs has informed me this is common and not a big concern. Here are some comparison pics/ current pics and what I think may be mondors cord Updated on 13 Mar 2017: So sick of sports bras...they don't look right under clothing for work! I am trying to wait for my coobie bras to come- I ordered 3 based off the reviews I saw on here. Since I ordered them from zulily when they were on sale it's taking foreverrrrr to come! Here's a wireless bra I bought from Walmart pre op- it was the biggest they had in the style at at 34c. I think it may be a bit small but omg I love it! So comfy! I'm going to search for the same style in a 34d bc I think it will fit better. I like how my boobs now can squish together for some cleavage if I want. I can't wait to wear regular bras again Updated on 15 Mar 2017: 2 weeks! - kinda feels longer than 2 weeks. Not to much has changed: I have developed mondors cord under both left and right breast. The incision line gets tender where as before I had no pain. But this will resolve in time one its own so not worried about it! Righty still has a lot of catching up to do and needs to get up to speed! I have started doing some massages to help- dr ok'd the go ahead for the massage. I am in love with coobie bras! I saw them on here from some ladies and I love them!- sports bra like support with the smaller straps so you can wear regular shirts- not to mention the comfort omg! I do not however like padding in bras anymore. The look weird- I need to get some nipple covers so I do t show through my clothing and I can take all those little triangle paddings out! Here are some pics & pics with clothes. Prowling through real self trying to get an idea of size I found clothing pics to be very helpful to- some selfie shots make boobs look huge when they really are not that huge in real life Updated on 18 Mar 2017: I hate keeping these pics on my phone- so I upload them so I can keep track. I started the massaging to help righty who is still. Behind and looks noticeably smaller (hoping that changes!) I went from no pain to bruise like pain I'm guessing from the massage. Starting to get sensations back but I have to say there not pleasant sensations at all! My nipples hurt to the touch and the under boob is weird- 1/2 numb and 1/2 weird pain to the touch (hoping this changes too!) Mondors cord: it's under both left and right...just waiting for that to resolve as well! The incisions are looking good but are bumpy to the touch due to the cord- they only are visible with my arms up so I tried to get a pic just to compare down the line for any improvement The wait game sucks- those 3 issues need "time" to resolve- I keep telling my self 2 weeks post op is very early, you need to wait until 3 months to see final results- easier said than done! Updated on 22 Mar 2017: I have been looking forward to the 3 week mark- bc the reviews I read it seemed to be a general consensus that the 3 week mark people were pain free, boob were dropping and starting to soften- I can confirm all those are true! Except my back has been killing me the last few days. Note to self: boobs require better posture! Sensations are retuning in weird rushes it seems. Some good most are still not so good feeling. Now that the incisions are healed nicely I'm going to start the scar guard...also going to start exercising again which is way long over due Updated on 30 Mar 2017: 1 full month! Woohoo! Squish factor is improving daily. Feel like I still have some room for improvement though. I think I'm experiencing some fluffing. I feel like the projection has grown- maybe it was the bra or shirt or maybe I'm just crazy but I feel the look bigger this week. Loving the cleavage! Righty feels like she's finally starting to get with the program Updated on 24 Apr 2017: Hello squishy! Hello cleavage! The girls are falling much more natural and feel like they have been a part of me forever now. Still haven't really done "real bra" shopping bc life has been so hectic. Per measurements at home I'm measuring a 32 dd! The one spot where I tugged on my popped stitch is still healing a bit funky but other than that no complaints! Updated on 6 May 2017: I'm so over due for an underwire bra! Life has been insanely busy and the mall is a haul from where I live but I made it for my first ever shopping trip to Victoria secret!! Totally worth the trip! I have to say I am embarrassingly lost in that store...but the wonderful lady in the fitting room helped me out. These pics are a 32dd. I got 2 and mistakenly picked up a 32ddd. I tried the ddd on at home and it fit even better than the dd! I will be exchanging the 32dd for another 32ddd! The Demi line is amazing and the support is fantastic. I will have to take photos of the 32ddd- much much better fit Updated on 2 Jun 2017: 3 months! It actually feels longer than that- I have been waiting for this milestone since they say you should have a good idea of the final results by 3 months. I'm thrilled with the outcome! Very happy with the size and glad I didn't go any smaller than what I did! The bra size in the photo is 32ddd which is not nearly as scary as it sounds. My old clothes still fit, they just look much better!
Absolutely horrible experience. She cut my nipple off. I can't stand to look at myself. She doesn't care one bit. I paid her again to have it reconstructed. It was a failure. She wanted me to pay a third time. I won't do it. I have to see a plastic surgeon now.
Although cheek implants are definitely an option, I prefer facial fillers. Fillers can be customized and used to to augment your cheeks and blend away your nasolabial folds as much as you would like. Cheek implants are a good option but can migrate and even spin so asymmetry is a common complaint. One of my favorite fillers for the cheeks is Voluma by Allergan. It is made of hyaluronic acid which naturally occurs in your body and lasts up to 2 years. More permanent options also exist. By only seeing a picture from the front, it is more difficult to fully determine what would be best for your chin. It appears that the crease on your chin is a little deep already, so an implant may not be the best choice but rather a ganioplasty which could correct the bone. Would like to do a more thorough exam to come up with the best treatment plan!
