I'm extremely happy with my results. I had a Breast Augmentation 4 months ago! Everything went smoothly, and I was comfortable, and they look and feel so natural. I had 400cc Silicone implants. I will always recommend friends and family to Dr. Nawada! Thank you!
As a plastic surgery nurse for 30 years, when it came time for ME to have a liposuction "menopause makeover", choosing the best surgeon was my most important decision in determining results. Dr. Nawada in Winterhaven, Florida has the most dramatic beautiful results by far & worth traveling to. He completely reshaped my 60 year old body to it's pre-menopause shape. No more back fat rolls, love handles, fat knees, or tummy. No surgeon I ever worked for got the kind of results I saw my friends get with Dr. Nawada, so I drove all the way to his city to have my surgery performed.
I've contemplated over my "mom bod" issues for many years . After a lot of research & reviews I decided to call & make an appt with Dr. Nawada's office . The best part of my early experience was Dr. Nawada & his assistant Beth Ann . They spoke to me plainly & answered every single question I had in detail . 3 very short days later I was scheduled for my surgeries . I had breast augmentation & liposuction , I was welcomed that morning by another great nurse Oriana , she took so much time again making me feel at ease & answering all my questions helping me feel comfortable . The biggest advantage I can say regarding Dr. Nawada & his staff is that you feel that they sincerely care about you . Right before going into surgery I was greeted by another one of Dr. Nawada's nurses , she was a firecracker named Aida , she came to me & all worries were gone . She made me laugh ... She said "well honey , I've been here for 57 yrs & there's not too much I haven't seen , I assure you that you're in good hands here " . Aida had such a sweet spirit about her that I just gave a big sigh of relief & I was ready !!! Surgery was a success & I look forward to seeing the "new me "after recovery in a few weeks . The WOW factor came that night after surgery , I received a call from Dr. Nawada himself checking up on me not one but 2 days . He took time off to care & that means the absolute world to me . I would definitely recommend Dr. Nawada & his awesome staff . If you're considering cosmetic surgery , look no further Dr Nawada is the one
Dr. Nawada did such an amazing job with my augmentation! They are still beautiful, feel and look very natural, and remain as lovely as they were way back then!!! I would never go anywhere else, if I were to opt for another type of procedure as he has "ruined" me for all other plastic surgeons, lol! I cannot recall the month in 1997 that I had the procedure, nor the cost but I would definitely do it all over again for three times as much because it was WELL WORTH whatever I paid!!
I wanted to have my tear troughs filled, so I decided to see Dr Nawada for the 1st time. In addition, I had botox and voluma. I was very happy with the results. I experienced a minor issue with the restalyn, but the doctor was very quick to resolve with a small amount of hylauranadaise. I will continue to have future work done with Dr Nawada. He's awesome, his assistant Oreana is lovely and Dina, his office manager is great. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. I was really impressed with his fees as well.
I had noticed a downward turn at the corners of my mouth that had started to bother me. After reading the pro's and con's on here, I was concerned about getting a filler. Then it happened... a coworker asked why I looked so sad, when I wasn't. I made an appt with my doctor the following week, with the intentions of getting a Botox injection, which I had had before for crows feet. I had read that Botox relaxes muscles so I was hoping it would help with the marionette lines that ran from the corners of my mouth downward. My doctor advised this was not possible for that area. He recommended Restalyne or Juvederm, with no preference of either. I explained my concerns with all the negativity on this site. He advised that most of the problems encountered were probably due to people using unqualified doctors to perform the procedure. He states everyone wants to get in the ballgame due to it being a very profitable business. That doesn't make every doctor qualified to perform the procedure. My doctor is a board certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. I trust him due to past experience. In the past, he refused to perform work on my face that he did not feel I needed, recommending I wait another 10-15 yrs to revisit that area. Some doctors would have jumped on the chance to line their pockets. Anyway, I chose the Juvederm. I hate needles, so this was not something I was looking forward to. His nurse applied a numbing cream to the areas I was having treated, both the upper and lower areas. He used one syringe per side. With the numbing, it felt about the same as receiving Botox. I felt the prick of the needle, but not the filler. Multiple sticks. And here is what follows. Had procedure on Tuesday afternoon, and had a love hate relationship with it the rest of the day. Face was slightly swollen, with a few obvious needle punctures. I could feel the filler, but it was not obvious looking a the face, and as some people have noted, it felt lumpy. I was still presentable enough with a few dabs of concealer to go grocery shopping the same day. The next day, Wednesday, the bruises showed up, which were expected. I had tiny bruises where needle sticks were obvious. Bruises at corners of mouth a little larger than a pencil eraser. Still tender to the touch and lumpiness is felt. I could cover bruising with concealer, but had to be careful to keep applying when needed. I preferred not to go out on this day. On Thursday, bruises still obvious, tenderness, needle marks still show, lumps still obvious, but less sensitive to touch. Friday, bruising is gone, needle marks are light pink and easily covered. Filler is much softer. Saturday, just about perfect, couple of needle sticks very faint, otherwise all is good and I am happy that my mouth no longer looks sad when the rest of me is happy. Everything looks completely natural, and was not over plumped, as is the mistake with some people. I will do it again as needed to maintain in 9-12 months hopefully. Updated on 12 Feb 2011: Update: The above was June of 2009, and I am still happy with the results, for me the procedure lasted much longer than I expected and I still don't have the heavy sagging at the corners of my mouth. The doctor had advised me the Juvederm was supposed to stimulate the collagen, and I think it must have, as I haven't felt the need to go back yet.
I had rhinoplasty several years ago and the results were nothing like Dr Nawada had told me I could expect. He said he could "fix" the problems in his office but it looked no different. I VERY STUPIDLY saw him again for breast aug a couple of years later because he said he could once again "fix" my nose at the same time. I admit I knew little about breast aug and didnt know what questions to ask, he never discussed cc's or shape with me. He just said "how big do you want them?". That was the extent of my consultation. I wish I knew then what I know now, but one would expect a surgeon to provide education and guidance, that is what I paid for. Since then I have had to had revision rhinoplasty and my implants replaced (one ruptured a few years after surgery). Trusting Dr Nawada was one of the costliest mistakes I've ever made, both financially, physically and mentally. He was cold, abrupt, dismissive and showed no compassion at all. His staff, however, was wonderful - very kind and warm. I want to add I am not one of those picky people who are looking for perfection, even a 50% improvement would have made me happy. I do not recommend him.
I went to Dr. Nawada for breast augmentation and a year later had to get a second surgery because my breast were completely uneven and looked awful. He and staff reassured me that after the second surgery my best would look much better, normal and equal in appearance. Nine months later and they are still uneven. Definitely wasn't worth all the pain or the money. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone!
So I am 5'0" and 115 lbs, and my boobs stopped growing when I was about 15. I knew I was going to need a boob job when I was older, my size now is 34A. I have my first consultation on May 10th, and hopefully doing the surgery sometime in June, if i can hold off until then. I already want to get my consult over with! I am not sure how many CC's i want, i do know i want saline (my mom got her's done and thats what she has) and so far i'd say i could do between 350-400cc. I dont want anything bigger than a C, but I am not even sure what a full C would look like on me! Hopefully I will find out more info when i see my DR! cant wait!! Updated on 27 Apr 2013: So I wad planning on making my apt for june but after figuring out how many vacation hours I need to take off a week I might be looking at july. Hopefully the beginning of the month because I have a cruise in sept and want to be fully healed. Ugh sometimes I hate having a state job with strict rules :( Updated on 28 Apr 2013: Idk if I'm going crazy or not.. I've been researching a lot lately and the past few days I've honestly felt like my boobs have grown. I'm wondering if it could be my birth control I started 5 wks. Or since I've been stretching a lot more lately if my muscles have somethin to do with it. I'm 26 so I know there's no more growing to be going on! Sometimes I wonder if I should just be happy with what God gave me..although I've wanted this for 11 yrs. Blah :/ Updated on 6 May 2013: So i am writing questions to ask at my consultation on friday, but I am hoping he answers all of them before i have to ask! im anxious for my appt and so glad i finally made it. Ive been wanting this for so long and im actually going to see the Dr this week!! I feel like ive done so much research already that he is probably going to tell me everything i already know :) I am just worried about my b.c. pills making my breasts larger since i started them in march. im not sure how much bigger they have got, but they are bigger. and my muscles are still sore because i guess they are growing. at least i know what post surgery will feel like! Updated on 11 May 2013: I finally had my consultation yesterday and I love my dr! I felt like I have known him for yrs and yrs! He did his measurents n said, well I can't get u to a D So don't even think about a D. Mostly likely a C and Maybe a full C. He had been read ing my mind n cleared up my biggest worry in the first 2 mins! He didn't mention type of implant or cc. At the very end he said I will have saline and a crease incision. Score! He is too good! After we discussed the process and pricing I did ask about cc'a and moderate or high profile (I've been doing my research). He said 400/425 moderate profile. Exactly wut I wanted n I neveeeer told him. Well actually I was thinking 350-400cc range but he will do what's best. I completely trust him! I will pay my deposit and pick my date next wk. I'm thinking the end of June. They only do surgery wed n thurs ... but it will be this summer! ! Updated on 11 May 2013: Ladies how do u know what size bra to get for after surgery ? Dr said ill be a C (400/425cc) and I wear an xs/small sports bra now. I know the swelling will be bad for a few weeks after surgery and I know ill need some kind of support. Updated on 16 May 2013: If im not already stressed since i just started my masters degree, im having the hardest time getting the time off work. its always been back n forth with my sup but i finally just sat down with the boss of my boss, and she is approving it. once i get that in writing i will call to schedule and pay my deposit. hopefully that will be today or tomorrow at the latest. im getting anxious and just want it to be final! Updated on 17 May 2013: so after two days of back n forth with my supervisor and HER boss, i finally got 3 of the 4 days i requested off. they said once i accrue more hours i can request off that 4th day, which will be in 6 days (end of pay period) ..so stupid but whatever. So surgery is set for June 20th, (thurs) and i have off thurs, fri, and mon, and hopefully tues when i ask again for that day off. My dr office can not see me for a pre op on a saturday, (my wrk schedule is m-f 8-5) so they'll mail all my paper work, consents and prescriptions next week! we dont need to go over sizing or anything, but she said ill probably be called in earlier on my surgery day to go over all the paper work, etc. so finally this is it! the count down begins... 5 weeks from yesterday!!! any advice from here on out? recovery methods to start early? certain vitamins or anything to make the recovery process a little easier/smoother? (if possible!!) Updated on 20 May 2013: I am wondering how many ppl go against what their dr recommended and regreted it? I know i should trust my dr, and he swears i will only be a C with 400/425cc saline under the muscle, but after looking at reviews i think they'll be larger than a C. I dont want the size to be too small and regret it, as most ppl want to go bigger, and i only wanted between 350-390ishcc, so its not like its much of a difference. idk what to do! but whenever i see results of 400 or 425, i think it will be too big on my lil itty body :/ Updated on 27 May 2013: So I got the fruit of the loom front closure bra from walmart size 36.. Just tried it on and it fits me now good, pre boobs.. so I gta getta bigger size :/ I guess they run all. I gotta large sports bra that I tried on and it should fit, its not too big. . I don't wna be out shopping a few days post op! Updated on 4 Jun 2013: i still have over 2 weeks to go and i just want it to be surgery day already. i started making smoothies last week with fruits n veggies because i know my body lacks a LOT of nutrients I should be intaking! so far so good with those and staying away from the greasy, fatty foods, being cautious with migraine meds b/c i get them reallllly bad and cant take the pills :/ and making sure i am mentally prepared for this! im surprised im not nervous yet, it will probably kick in a few days before! i havnt taken my rx's in yet to get filled but i will do that this wknd. my nurse told me not to wait incase they dont have a certain one and have to order it, it may take a day or two depending on how far another pharmacy is that has it. Good luck to all the june girls!!!! Updated on 14 Jun 2013: So i dropped off prescriptions yesterday, and called today to see if my insurance covered them. i had 2 that are covered with my $7 co pay, but the patch for nausea is a $30 copay! the cash price is $68! really??? ughh.. do i really need that patch?? my mom is willing to get it i just feel bad, i dont want her to spend that on a nausea patch! i know its not much since i only have to pay $14 for the other two.. but $7 for the patch wouldve been nice lol Updated on 18 Jun 2013: Still do not have my time for my appt on thursday. I was suppost to get a call yesterday with the time, so i called around 3:30 and the girl at the front said they were short a nurse, and i'd get a call this morning. still nothing yet. I dont know how difficult it is to create the schedule for that day, seeing as that day is used ONLY for surgeries.. im getting annoyed tho. I live an hr away, I know i'll have to be there at least an hour before, and I have to make arrangements for my sons transportation to school. BLAH. ill call them around lunch time if i dont hear anything by then. Updated on 18 Jun 2013: So my appt is at 8am, I have to be there at 7am! and its an hour away, so i have to leave at 6. nothing after midnight which is good because i wont have to wait too long to eat! yess i am super excited!!! :) Updated on 19 Jun 2013: Who wants to be at work with all this excitement going on?!

He workeed till 10 last nite, I knos tired.. he's such a good man :) So I packed a small cooler, apple juice box, grapes, crackers, cheerios and raisens.

Got a blanket n pillow in the car n wearing comfy velour outfit with no bra. Since I don't need it!!! Woo hoo!!! I think surgery is at 8 so hopefully I'm awake n alert fairly soon after surgery. . Ill see u guys on the other side!! Updated on 21 Jun 2013: Ill update later just wanted to add a pic Updated on 21 Jun 2013: When can I put lotion/cocoa butter on my new twins? I have tape on my incisions but can I lotion around them? Updated on 21 Jun 2013: Anyone know how to edit a pic to cover up the nipple? Updated on 21 Jun 2013: Here's a pic post op day 2. My surgery was at 8am thurs so I consider that the first post op day. Ill update tmrw with how the day went Updated on 22 Jun 2013: So my mom n I arrived about 6:55 n as soon as we got in I was called back by the nurse. Got my surgery outfit on, peed 1 nore time, went over the steps of procedure. And had my iv in by 7:40. Dr came in and anasthesiologist to check up on us. Another nurse came in n asked my name, bday n what exactly I was getting done. Then I said goodbye to mom, walked a few steps to the operating room and the guys were waitin for me. As soon as I laid down I gta 'cocktail' n it was 1, 2, 3 out!at that point it had to be close to 8. My mom said dr c ame to see her at 825 n said they were done, just waiting for me to wake up. Around 845 I was up, could hear n see everything, my eyes were just tired! The nurse gave me ice chips then I asked for juice. About 910 my mom came back. She was told to drive around back n she took some of my things. The nurse dressed me and I was in the car by 925. Wasnt in any pain till I got home n tried to get outta the car! It was an hr drive so I was pretty comfortable eating my snacks. I did have to take my meds in route home so I'm soo glad I brought them! The rest of the day was ok, ate n drank nornally and I slept on the sectional couch n my mom did too. Her alarm went off around 230am for meds n I was good till I woke up around 730. Day 2 was a little worse which I expected. My bf came over to help take my bandage off and shower. Ooomg pain!! We unwrapped really slowly but every piece of loosened bandage put me in more pain. I literally sat or wlkd around with the bandage just covering my nipples but I was alsio holding them up. Afteer 20 mins I finally got in..holding my boobs up tho. They were jjust to heavy! Bf helped a lot and then gettin a sports bra on was a challenge. My 38 front closure from walmart was not wrkn!! I got a bralette type on from nordstrom and took the inside cups out. Its not too tight so I like it. Day 3 - this morning was ok, had a little more time in between pain pills so I can ween off slowly. The muscle relaxer doesn't seem like its helping much but widening the time in between those too. Been eatin good n drinkin lots of water. My right side is the worst of the two, pain, swelling and how high it is. I'm left handed so I gta use my right one more. I can't wait till they drop. They're so hard!!! Oh and my dr put 375cc in because my pockets wernt that big.. ? Which was ok cuz that's wut I wanted and at my consult he suggested 400/425. So hopefully they look good :) thanx everyone for ur kind words and good luck to anyone gettin theirs soon. Updated on 22 Jun 2013: Updated on 23 Jun 2013: Since surgery was at 8am thurs I consider that day 1. I took a shower with no help but it was hard! I had to hold up my boobs n use the other to wash. They're just so dan heavy. My rightie is still huge n high. Its annoying! It doesn't look so big in pics but trust me it is! Only took 1/2 a pain pill when I woke up n nothin over night. No pain at all just sore and stiff. Hopefully today is better :) Updated on 23 Jun 2013: My best friend is havin her twins first bday party today so I'm omw now. It was a hastle gettin dressed for sure. .my boobs got super tight afterwards. Prob not gna stay for long. I feel weird and my boobs are still so heavy...lol can't wait for these next few days to pass! Updated on 23 Jun 2013: Not a good idea to go out n about today. My boobs kept gettin tighter n tighter. Came home n iced these girls. ..I just want them to drop already :/ Updated on 25 Jun 2013: Had my post op appt today and the dr took the tape off my incisions. My bf said they were bloody when the tape came off, probly cuz it wripped my skin :( but I got new tape on n have to remove it in 5 days. Today was a much better day than the last 5. I'm probly at 85%. Started driving yesterday but it wwas painful so had my mom drive me around. Today was better, still hard to turn but I had my bf drive the hr to my appt. I got my implant card n warrenty info. My dr put in 325cc filled to 375cc so not sure what it'll give me. I still cant sleep on my side is what I'm custom to doing so sleeping isn't great :( they're still high and my right side is so much harder n higher than lefty. Oh dr told me how to massage, its not much of a massage..just cupping the top of my implant n applying a little pressure 30 secs 2times a day. Hope it helps!! Gna add a pic from yesterday.. Updated on 26 Jun 2013: I hate lookin at my boobs because my right one is huuuge. It looks like its a whole cup size difference. I kno it's early n I kno I'm a lefty but I have always thought my right boob was bigger. My dr said it wasn't and put the same amount in both but I Just always thought it was a bit larger. I hope he did what's best. This dropping period is the worst. I've been using my right arm a lot more so hopefully itll start to fall... nope not yet. Theres no way I could wear a bikini like this :( I live in florida..I need the beach soon!! Updated on 27 Jun 2013: My nipples have been really sensitive since yesterday n it kinda hurts to have any shirts/bras on them.. my incisions hurt I think because I got my tape taken off n boy that hurt :( I have new tape on which I have to take off Sunday I know that's not gna be fun at all.. Here's a pic to compare to then and now Updated on 28 Jun 2013: Ok so its obvious I need new swimwear and tops. I'm addicted to bikinis and I have so many tops I bought last summer that don't fit :/ I wna show my new twins off but is it too early to start buyin bikini tops? Are they gna change a whole size diferrence when they drop n fluff??? I wish they would hurry up n settle...blah! Updated on 29 Jun 2013: Today is 9 days post op, 10 if u count surgery day as 1st. Today is better and I feel much better showering! They're not so heavy n don't get in the way as much. Incisions r still sore, I have to take off the tape today or tmrw. I'm a little worried to see what they look like :/ things r def goin up from here though! Updated on 7 Jul 2013: Well the last post didn't post a few days ago with my pic. . But anyways! The past week has been emotional. Like expected. Lol my left boob is so much smaller than my right. I avoid looking at them naked :/ I kno I need to wait a while for the final result but u always worry about them being un even or different sizes. My next appt is the 16th and ill be almost 4 wks. Ill try to upload pics Oh I got sized at vic secret..32DDD. Yikes!! Updated on 16 Jul 2013: So I had my 2nd post op appt today, ill be 4 wks on Thursday. Dr cleared me to do everything and start using scar cream on my incisions. Any reccomendations?? He also showed me more stricter massages. Ouch!!! I guess I havnt been doing mine hard enough :/ next appt in 2 months n hopefully the last one! Updated on 29 Jul 2013: So its been almost 5.5 wks and things are getting better. Righty is still much harder ansd needs to drop. I bought some silicone sheets for my scars and hoping they work wonders like the reviews I've read! I went to vic sec saturday to find some bras and didn't have too much luck. They measured me 2 wks go at a 32ddd but didnt have any. So I went with 32dd. They fit now but the sales lady said probly in another month they won't because my boobs will be bigger when they fall. Really??? Ill post a pic of my strips. And as I was looking at the pic, my left one looks bigger and fuller. Lol idk its weird! This whole process is weird!! Updated on 29 Jul 2013: Updated on 29 Jul 2013: Updated on 29 Jul 2013: Updated on 30 Jul 2013: So this is my 32dd bra I just bought. I was sized at 32ddd but there was none in stuck so I went with dd. I kno in a few weeks this probably won't fit but it feels good to wear a comfy bra!!
