I would just like to say thank you to Dr Deon Weyers for the amazing results on my reconstructive breast surgery. For years I have been walking around with my breast augmentation surgery gone wrong (from a previous doctor) and finally got the courage to do something about it! I was super skeptical at first as I have not had a good experience before. Today I went for my last follow up and I am so pleased with the results! My girlies look amazing and I have my confidence back! The entire experience was great, thank you from the bottom of my heart :)
I had my 1st consultation in March 2018. It was HORRIBLE. I was told, very bluntly "I can see why you are unhappy, you won't get good results, you need a lift due to severe Cookers Droop and you have tuberous breasts, which is a deformity" OUCH. I'm not soft, but this hurt. I backed away from the whole idea, feeling worse about my breasts than I ever had before. In the last month or so, my partner has come into some cash, and offered to cover the surgery as a 40th Birthday gift, if I wanted to revisit the idea. So today, I had my 2nd consultation. NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN MORE DIFFERENT! My surgeon Deom Weyers was warm and friendly, he said no lift was required (he measured dimensions and he said that even according the the numbers, I wasn't droopey) I could get a good effect with augmentation only, but would need to do a little work to loosen my right lower fold. There was no mention of "Deformities" at all! I am just waiting for my quote and am currently very keen to go ahead asap. I'm posting this so that others might go and try a 2nd opinion. I don't have serious body image issues, just want a better rack! But I can only imagine how badly effected someone else could be after my initial experience... I will keep you updated here if you want to follow my journey..... Updated on 9 Jan 2019: I just got a very reasonable quote that is $1500 lower than original due to lace of lift needed, and am trying to confirm a date as I type. I can't believe how different this experience is than it was in March! I urge EVERYONE hete to go for a 2nd opinion before opting out/proceeding :) I can't work out how to post saved photos here or I would add more boob photos! I have found it so interesting and comforting seeing how different we all are :) Updated on 11 Jan 2019: I have found it really reassuring to look at other people's boobies. We are not all perfect! My surgery is booked for 5th March YAY :) Surgeon didn't mention smoking in consultation but am just about to read my documents so might see it in there. Updated on 20 Jan 2019: I am currently chasing my surgeon for some images of his work. I am assuming its fair to ask him for these? I am now going through the age old dilema of "how big is too big" I spent some time with a DD friend today who gave me a bar and we stuffed it with sweetcorn kernals...basic, yes, but VERY enlightening! We used a tape measure and measured from breast bone to armpit, made it equal, and no, I could not carry a DD!! I will try and upload photos for a laugh! Tried it with another D cup friend, and it took 7 socks this time. Slightly more reasonable, and im not ruling it out...but I think I full up C will be my limit. I know its really hard to say "Make me a C cup" but I am excited, and am just enjoying giving it some thought. I have also been looking at images of people with double bubble. My surgeon said there is a good chance this will happen to me as my we are going to need to open up my right breast pocket a bit. Anone experienced this double bubble? Any advice? Thanks xx Updated on 25 Jan 2019: As above...I got my work kitchen to make me a 350cc and a 400cc bag of rice and I liked them FAR more than my improvised DDs. I decided to "not smoke right now" How annoying if my new boobies broke because I was weak-willed. Just want time to go now as I'm excited and my partner and I keep looking at sexy undies :) Updated on 4 Feb 2019: It's been 14days since I had a cigarette and I am not finding it that hard at all. All I can think about is how cross I would be if my BA went wrong due to my lack of willpower! I got some images of past work from my surgeon. Everything looks quite high, but I fully understand the "drop and fluff" thing because of this website :) I just want to get on with it now and meet my new boobies....!! Updated on 14 Feb 2019: It looks like my partner might be getting nose done now on Monday and I have massive surgery envy! I haven't smoked at all for 23days and to be honest, I feel no different at all, might go back to it, but who knows. I am trying to work out if it's better, worse or indifferent to be doing chest/pec exercises? Logic says not, to keep muscles slack...im just musing. I am going to start to taper off my 5 days a week at the gym or I will get frustrated during recovery. Still not sure about sizing, 350/375cc feels as much as i can manage according to my rice bags. I just want my boobs now...hurry up 5th March! Updated on 19 Feb 2019: I keep seeing all these lists of stuff (anti-scar stuff, prescriptions etc) that people go shopping for. I have nothing? I was also just planning on deciding final size on the morning? Should I be seeing my surgeon before surgery day? I'm not sure I have anything to ask him really? Updated on 23 Feb 2019: I have really enjoyed (not quite the right word) looking at before and after shots in different outfits because EVERY SINGLE ONE AKWAYS looks better after. So my long suffering BF just took these. I am not nervous, or worried even slightly. I just want my boobies! Not smoked for 32days 14hrs. Updated on 1 Mar 2019: 3 days to go. I am still not even slightly nervous, just excited. Dr Weyers is fantastic. I went back to see him and said "I bet you love this last bit where patients have spent MONTHS doing their own "research!" He laughed! We are going 350cc HP Moditiva. Under Muscle. Textured. Round. I now Understand that profile is implant based and not placement based. I asked him what these BD 12.5cm numbers mean, and he explained, but I don't really need to know that stuff. I trust him. I understand that results might not be perfect, we probably won't fully correct my assymetery (if you put a 350 and a 375 in, profiles start changing quite drastically and it could swing the other way!) I may end up with double bubble due to constricted right breast, but we will see. It's up to my body if it decided to balance out, not my surgeon. There is only so much he can do, the rest is down to my body. Have enclosed a couple of photos for fun.... Updated on 4 Mar 2019: So...seeing as my OH seems annoying dismissive (he has a friend over Wed night!! While im.on the sofa with bloody drains in! Grrrrrr!) I'm going to talk to you guys instead...actually feel fine...admissiin 11am. I'm not going to eat anything from now, not keen on the idea of chucking up with brand new boobs...and this constipation thing sounds rough as well! Will probably update from the hospital....!! Current boobs exactly the same as other photos so won't bother with another pre-photo!! Updated on 4 Mar 2019: Doing a day without caffeine, just drinking my peppermint tea before I leave! Bit nervous, still more just excited. Will try find someone at the hospital to plait my hair!! One last goodbye boobies photo. Sorry body, I know its superficial...xx Updated on 5 Mar 2019: It is so important to add a last photo of my boobs?? Very weird. I am getting INCREASINGLY annoyed with my partner. He's got dinner out and a friend staying over tomorrow night, then already planned lunch the same day I'm having my drains taken out. Then he's going away 5days post surgery. While I did explain, and read out exerts from others reviews, he seems to have no concept of the fact that I may not be able to use my arms for a week. It's making me angry!! Any way...i need to go and do my admission paperwork. More after... Updated on 5 Mar 2019: Full update tomorrow, but I'm out, went home 3hrs after I woke up. Currently decided it I should eat something have drain in, OH just took 63ml out before we left hospital. Pain level 2/10 It wants 200 word's to do 5th day no smoking and drinking coffee Updated on 5 Mar 2019: I'm not going to lie, this isn't very plesant! Didn't mind the hospital part at all, no wobbles, had a giggle with Dr Weyers while he drew my lines on. Went down to there a about 13.30 and back awake in room by 17.30. Did have another procedure, but that's for a different group...! Got home 8pm eat something small to help with me and headed straight to my recovery nest on the sofa. OH had to help couple of times with getting trousers up and down, and I couldn't flush, but I'm wiping fine, if a little slowley. I can use my lower arms fine (hence on here) and I can touch my head of I need to, and get small water bottle to my mouth, but can't flush toilet/move pillowsget up or down easily without help. Drs in is no problem, glad to have it as I've already emptied 120ml of blood/fluid away that would otherwise be trying to dissipate inside me making me swell. I'm not really hungry so will leave food for a while. Had 2 tiny both of nausea that went away when I sat down but have a bucket anyway. It's weird having boobs, but I like them. No photos till my follow up a]ointment 8th but they are definatley there :) But all good, and wondering what the rest of my story will hold....! Updated on 6 Mar 2019: Yeah, this really isn't very nice at all! I can only take teeny Breaths, I feel sick if I move and we have worked out that the best was to get me position on sofa is to sit down as far back as I can, then use boyfriends back to push myself backwards with my feet! It's actually amazing how many upper arm and chest muscles we use without realising it. Still managing bathroom alone and trying to drink as much water as possible without it being annoying! Updated on 6 Mar 2019: Feel slightly better this morning. Slept 9-1 took drugs and had a wee and slept again until 6.30am. Emptied my drain (bler...!) And it had collected 87ml in 24hrs. That's 87ml my body doesn't have to clear itself. Took my ugly buff off and reapplied to my head alone. Food and walking around still making me feel a bit sick. I can almost clear my throat a bit. Yes ladies, it hurts to clear your throat! Just took more pain pills so going to try go back to sleep. Trying to sleep as much as possible... More later.... Updated on 7 Mar 2019: It's getting better. Feel like I can breath slightly better, and slept well last night. Took 2 pain tablets just before midnight and only woke up at 6.30am. Huge fight with OH. I hate asking for help, and he has been running around with work stuff all last night and all of today. We are both over sensitive, sure it will be fine. Just sent my 80ml drain measure through. Was meant to go for post op and drain removal today but i think i might still be leaking too much? We shall see. Just took more pain meds so will go back to sleep now. I've been worse, but I've certainly been better :( Updated on 8 Mar 2019: Yes, it's getting better :) Made a cup of tea lifting my own kettle, few little wanders around, but I'm still not venturing far from my nest. Mildly annoyed I won't get to see them until Monday, but ok that my drain is staying in so few more days (less fluid and chance of infection) and with them still wrapped I can fiddle/knock scars/anything else. I've dropped pain meds a bit but am getting bored of having so sore back and stuff neck. Eaten bit more today but started anti-constipation stuff. Hate that bloated feeling and I've not pooed since Monday! Still no photo worth updating...sorry! Updated on 9 Mar 2019: Not in any pain and I have only had 3 pain tablets in 18hrs. Did a bit of washing up, have been eating lots of bran, and am currently cautiously awaiting an eruption!! Now more bored than anything. Most people have their boobies out and hair washed by now and have started looking at how they fill old clothes...im still watching YouTube! But had a bit more of a dig around under the ugly Sumner dress just now. I prefer how they look in a mirror to how they look from my view....still HARD, I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH SWELLING AND POSITIon, but they are a bit conical....but I am well aware of all the changes to come. I think they are more symmetrical...??? Updated on 10 Mar 2019: Yesterday was pretty much pain free, but I'm horribly bloated and getting restless as I'm much less drugged now. Pottered about in the day, didnt nap. My morning drain reading was 87ml yesterday and 58ml this morning. I feel like im winning by leaking less! Took a super sleepibg tablet last niggt a friend gave me, but still woke up for a wee at 4am and 7am. Today intent outside in public with OH for lunch. Just had a milkshake as I'm still living on shredded bran to help me poo....didnt take any pain pills, all morning and suddenly got very sore after being out for 30mins. So took 3 "standard" pain pills and it quickly resolved. I'm FINALLY having drain out and wraps off tomorrow at 2pm. But oh away for work so I will be uber there and back and fending for myself for 3 days...but that's fine. This is day 5 without a shower....bler! Updated on 11 Mar 2019: Can't come soon enough! I'm fed up of this drain now. I've been peeping under my bandages and im worried about double bubble. I'm pretty sure it's happening down there, and I must just be ready for it. It was discussed, and Dr Weyers has tried to open up to correct it. All I can do is follow what ever instructions he gives me and hope for the best. I saw a shoelace trick to try and fix double bubble that I am sure he will love me showing him at 2pm! The water has been off in my complex more than 24hrs now and I REALLY hope it's on when I get back. Hair does NOT self clean if you leave it....its been a week and I feel HORRIFIC :( Updated on 11 Mar 2019: Finally, drains out, bandages off and hair is clean! I'm going to add every photo I just took, even the dodgy ones as I've found everyone else's photos SO helpful. I feel ok. Almost drug free, but got more non-prescription pain killers today. Just took 2 as I've been out since 1pm and it's now 8pm. As expected, my boobs are a bit lumpy. Deon Weyers said he did a LOT of work open up more space, especially the right side and he said currebtbresults are actually better than he expected. He tried 375cc but he said it was too much..i FULLY agree! He went 350cc in my smaller right side and 335cc in ny bigger left side. I think they are looking pretty well matched! The limps may or may not drop out, he thinks they will, but i am goung to stay realistic. Even if the bubble stays a bit, all you need to do is add a teeny bikini top and its problem solved. Only me and OH will see them naked, and even as they stabd riggt now, even though they are far from perfect, i still think they are more apealling than before :) Am LOVING the outcome in clothes...i have BOOBS!! LOL.... Incisions aren't sore. I'm going to try leave everything alone in recovery bra and strap for 3 days now until I shower again. My body has had a HUGE shock and trauma, but bodies are clever and if you give them time, can sort themselves out. This band is actually squashing me a bit, but rules is rules ;) Updated on 12 Mar 2019: This week has actually gone pretty fast. I over did it a bit yesterday, so had yet another lazy day. No real pain, apart from the odd zing through my right nipples, which must mean things are healing in there, which is great :) I think I might be able to hear/feel the odd slosh noise, but apparently it's air and is normal! Took my band off for like 10mins just now, put a little tissue oil on the tops and nipples and strapped back down again. Went for meal with a friend who said I look totally in proportion and fantastic :) No boobies out today, giving the girls a day off. All seems well. Looking forward to a 2 pillow-back-sleep tonight:) Updated on 13 Mar 2019: Im trying to to fiddle with them, but the have been still and covered and strapped for almost 48hrs so thought i should have a quick check for leaks/lumps/weird things. I'm pretty bloody happy actually! I think they are already starting to look a bit less lumpy underneath! I'm still taking a couple of pain killers (2 before bed, 2 mid day) and 2 x Anti inflammatory per day as per prescription. I'm starting to feel lazy/guilty for being lazy, but this is EXACTLY what i put this time aside for. So I've just started watching Suits again!! Finally back to normal toilet habits...such a relief! Trying to watch what I eat as so inactive. My ideal pre-BA weight is 53kg. It's rare I get below 54. I came into op at 56kg and I was 57 this morning, so nothing too serious to worry about yet. But I'm keeping a close eye on it... Updated on 13 Mar 2019: And now this is going to want 200 word's... So, what can I tell You? I think I can still hear/feel some air movement. I haven't had children, but I guess it's kind of how baby movement would feel, but no kicking! Had a waist deep dunk in the bath and leg shave today, shower hair wash tomorrow I think. Updated on 15 Mar 2019: I'm pretty much pain free unless I do something stupid. Drove today, not far, but was totally fine. I was told to wait 10days so I did. Im looking forward to having a look at scar areas to see what's happening under there on Monday, but I've got no pain or lumps or bumps or anything so I'm not too worried. For some reason I like them much more in "in the mirroe" photos than selfie photos?? Must be the angle...but Yes, I'm pretty happy with my decision. They will only get better and nicer and softer from now on. I've been wearing my strap TIGHT 23hrs a day and my recovery bra 23.5hrs a day! Will update after post op on Monday :) (*)(*) Updated on 17 Mar 2019: Stitches and progress update with Dr Weyers tomorrow. I'm keen to see my scars...no real news on boobies. Sometimes get a dull ache at bedtime in left side. I'm sleeping on back on 2 pillows as instructed but still find it more comfortable if I sleep quite high with my neck.pillow in situ. I want boobs to be less pointy, but I suppose I should expect pointy as I had so little underboob to work with in the first place! I can't see any change, but I'm still pretty happy. Bought a cheap 34C bra yesterday that seems to sit pretty well, but who knows....?? All is well :) Updated on 21 Mar 2019: Ends trimmed off dissolvable stitches, saw my scars and I'm.pretty happy. I can start massaging my rock hard boobies and all is well. I'm getting a bit of pain when I squish hard on the outside or underside of left one, but I guess the solution is don't squeeze as hard! I'm doing squats and lunges and house work and driving all no problems. Sleeping on my side still no great so on 2 pillows and a neck pillow on back still which is fine. I wish I had a more curvey lower edge, but it might stretch out yet, but I'm.lucky to have as much as I got. It is at least double what was there! I'm recovery bra/solid sports bra and strap about 23hrs a day to make them drop. But Yeah, all is well :) Updated on 29 Mar 2019: Sorry for lack of updates...as expected, my lack of underneath space is still making my boobs seem.pretty pointy. I want more of a curve underneath. But it's only noticeable naked, and my OH has no clue what I mean and Is like a cat with a lazer pen with them! No pain, laying on side for more than 10mins isn't very nice, so I don't do that. They are getting softer, I'm really happy with scars and my biggest annoyance now is I should have them strapped, covered and hard-core supported more, but that is uncomfortable and annoying. I have also discovered I have no idea how to dress boobs! I look fat and frumpy in fitted things, and feel like a tart in fitted things?? I want to show them off, but don't want to show them off?? Very weird feeling...am I glad I did it? Totally!! Updated on 15 Apr 2019: Been totally slacking here as I've been swapping countries due to family stuff! I flew 11hrs long haul just over 3 weeks after surgery, no issues at all. And the boobies are behaving PERFECTLY! I could not be happier...ive started gentle jogging (with the occasional arm fold for support) sit ups and even girly on the knees press ups are fine. Only problems are proper push ups and opening really tight jars. I have been measured from 34C right through to 32E. I think 32D or 34C are probably both safe bets at the moment. Scars are amazing. Still delighted:) Updated on 21 Apr 2019: All is well. Going home to OH tomorrow, will be interesting to know he's thoughts on changes as it's so hard to tell when you see/touch them every day. Did a hlaf-decent 5ishKM jog today and felt totally fine, different to how it was a week ago. I think it's because pecs have relaxed a bit due to other 3 jogs.. few tricep dips but they still pulled a bit so will keep clear still. Nipples almost normal, underboob still a little bit numb, but it will take a while. Scars are amazing! Do this!! Updated on 25 Apr 2019: Just got back from seeing the fantastic Dr Deon Weyers for the last time in 6 months. I was SOOOO EXCITED to show him his work! He is almost as happy as me! He said there is still a lot of movement to happen but he is really happy with how they are dropping, considering how much work he had to do to release construction underneath. He said they are healing beautifully. I can basically do what ever I want, wear what I want, when I want, apart from put scars in direct sunlight. He explained that there more I support them, the less likely they are to sag, the same as any other boobs, but if I want the odd naked night here and there, I am most welcome. I can train, sleep however instant, and if it feels odd or uncomfortable, don't do it. Pretty logical to me. When you consider what a total [RS bleep] Dr Roger Nicholson was over a year ago, saying I needed a lift and could not get good results, it makes it even clearer how important your PS is. I am going to review Dr Deon Weyers in as many places as I can and tell everyone to use him. Not only am I delighted with results of a fairly tricky BA but service from all his staff, but also his personality and manner cannot be faulted. I will pop back from.time to time to check movement, but otherwise....a job well done :) xx Updated on 27 Apr 2019: I cannot reccomend Dr Weyers highly enough! Please read my review from the start. After a brutal, unkind, over-priced, totally inaccurate consultation from Dr Roger Nicholson, Dr Weyers blew me away. His staff, his manner and most importantly, his results. And I am only at week 7! My procedure was not the easiest BA ever and I could not be happier :) use this plastic surgeon. He will not disappoint. Updated on 5 May 2019: I have picked up almost 5kg in last 2mnths which im pretty upset about, but totally my fault. Today is my cut off though. I'm so happy with my new boobs, but they do make me feel chunkier. Well, I am chunkier I suppose. I actually looked in the mirror yesterday and thought "wow, they are perfect" Now to dump the flab, relocate my abs and we are good to go :) Updated on 11 May 2019: I had an hour to waste, so created a little time lapse...kinda? I'm still delighted. Can even do 5 full push-ups before reverting to girly knees. I'm.still massaging, hoping they will pocket-drop a bit more, but if they stay as are, I'm totally happy. I'm trying to find a balance between hefty support bras so they don't drooop, but giving them enough freedom to drop and find their place on my body...anyway. Still slight numbness underboob, but nothing serious. Still LOVE them in bras even more than naked. Don't care what size they are:) scars are almost invisable [RS bleep] Updated on 22 May 2019: I am still not bored of them! They almost feel totally mine desoite the odd "opening jar/pushing plug in" twang. Im still trying to balance letting them free to breath and settle with keeping them well supported to stop them drooping! I'm totally happy. They are symmetrical (they have different size implants by 20cc) and level and fab. They look a little fake, but that's what I wanted! I'm still battling with wanting to show them off in clothes, and not wanting to show them off! But I'm very happy :) Updated on 5 Jun 2019: I'm am still happy. My only negatives are if I test my boobs they look weird and I can twitch them like a body builder. I've seem some women on here totally freak out and call it "something deformity" but just don't wiggle them around or tense your boobs if you dont want to see it! I still feel a twang opening tight jars, or actually when I did a massive yawn earlier, but not pain, just a tightness that didn't used to be there. I can do anything in the gym I could before (although, I mostly haven't been, too busy as opposed to boob/energy/motivation effected) I also cant find a bra to squish them up any together for epic cleavage. They wint sit in anything with big pads or gels, any suggestions welcomed. I've had 2 people who are considering BAs ask for a squeeze, and they are now both convinced to go ahead based on my results. Scars fading beautifully. I am anything between a 34C 32D 32DD 34D so guess I wont be bra shopping on line! Bought a publically mostly decent bikini today as the others arent ok any more! Had to get a 16 top and 12 bottom (with my extra 4kg since the last one) but I'm actually quite happy. I see fab boobies now first, instead of chunky things and a wobbly bottom :) Updated on 16 Jun 2019: Nope! I'm still not bored...I haven't had time to go "non-padded push up bra hunting" yet. Im totally happy with the gap all boobs have gaps, just want the squish em up option for special occasions! Spoke to a friend who is years PO and she said the opening a jar twang does go away, just takes a while. I'm happy with my scars, just generally pleased. Friend just gave me 2 bikinis she has grown out of, and halter necks are the way forward :) all is well. Have this done x Updated on 18 Jul 2019: My OH and I are still delighted with results. We paid half each! I can still feel them if I am hauling myself up using my arms to sit on a wall behind me. I've decided not to bother with press ups of chin ups ever again. Not like a huge loss in my life. I've just got back from a roadtrip and drove over 3500km and not effected at all. I have started taking a neck pillow around with me though. If I end up in a hotel with 1 horrible thin pillow, boobies prefer a bit of extra like, just to raise them up a bit as I'm a side sleeper. I would like them to be a bit closer together, but they will move. The only hardcore cleavage creator I've found is a stick on bra. All push-ups I've found are full of foam and gel padding, which my boobs dont really get on with, as they are same texture as gel, and they just kinda sit there?! All suggestions welcomed. But no regrets at all.... Updated on 17 Aug 2019: Standard check up today with Deon Weyers. He is SUCH a nice guy. He is very happy, as am I. He said they is still a bit of underboob drop to go, but with so much tissue the needed to be released, I think the results are outstanding! Not a single regret :) Updated on 6 Sep 2019: I've had to have a total hysterectomy recently (get your pap smears done ladies, it could save your life!) My new boobs have given me no problems at all. They have actually been a massive help with my female confidence (which has been fairly low of late) I havent been able to really test them exercise-wise, but other than push ups or pull ups, neither of which is essential to me, i cant firsee and issues. Still not a single regret :) Updated on 8 Sep 2019: As requested.... I wouldn't say they jiggle or bounce exactly, but there is plenty of movement if asked! I happily sleep in my old "on side leg cocked" position now without discomfort or them being in the way :) Updated on 10 Oct 2019: I'm just over 7mnths now and still have no regrets. I sometimes feel they are low, but I have been used to having either nothing, or them way up high. I have been reliably assured by OH and male house mate they are in the correct location for boobs! I tried to sneak quietly through a sliding door the other day and forgot a have boobs now! I really glad I didn't go bigger. I still have minimal idea how to dress them, and still don't really know what size I am. Bought a 34C push up the other day, but I'm still not comfortable with showing them off. I probably never will be, but at least I can if I choose to. Tried to go for a mammogram the other day, and after telling everyone everywhere I had a BA I was told by the radiograoher to wait 18mnths...anyone else had one? But yep! Still delighted :) desperate yo get back training, but lack of steady gum through no fault of the boobs. Do it. Dr Weyers in Johannesburg is outstanding :) Updated on 6 Dec 2019: I'm still happy. Went to a wedding recently with old friends and got lots of positive feedback and was able to wear my infinity dress across my boobs without fear of slippage. I'm not a dressy, showy girl, so felt a LITTLE self conscious, but pushed through it. I'm slightly concerned about them dropping, but have been assured by my OH that real boobs are not silly high, which is what I got used to at the start. Sleep with support if I'm alone (often) or without if OH is present ;) I need to drop a few kgs, but that's more lazy/cake related! I've got away with expected double bubble better than expected :) Yeah, no regrets :) Updated on 16 Feb 2020: Still no regrets. Still don't really know what size I am. Let's say 34C. Negatives: If OH launches on my for a bear hug n the bed I need to readjust him! Still have a cushion on tummy for massages and sun bathing. That's it....! All else positive. I'm still very glad I didn't go any bigger. I still sleep in a solid bra when I'm alone in bed, but personal choice only. Do it :) Updated on 27 Jun 2020: I still have no regrets - not much change in shape now really. I did a 20km walk with a 20kg rucksack last week. Implants don't effect physical ability other than I don't do press ups and more, or those rolly wheel things that do your abs, basically anything that is focused on your pecs. It doesn't hurt per say, it just doesn't feel quite right. Anyway - I went for my 1st ever mammogram yesterday! after cervical cancer issues last year (get your smears done ladies!) I thought that I should probably do a mammogram too, as I am almost 42 now. I went to them last year, when boobs were 5mnths old, and they would do it due to implants. I went back at 15mnths post op, and they said between 6-12mnths if fine. I was nervous as I have heard they hurt normal boobs - but it was fine. They kinda squished what breast tissue I did have in an up/down clamp (I had horror visions of them squashing implants down hard!) Say xrays - there really was hardly ANY breast tissue, but they saw enough, and said all was well. She even asked who did my boobs as they were so good! So - don't be scared of mammograms. DO NOT GOOGLE MAMMOGRAMS WITH BREAST IMPLANTS! It will scare the poop out of you - it wasn't even uncomfortable, let alone painful or frightening :-) Updated on 7 Mar 2021: As above. I will probably always add a little pillow on my tummy for massages and sunbathing, just to take a bit of squish off, and I will never do chin ups again, but that's fine. I still don't know what size I am, probably 34 C or D. Do it :)
Very pleasant and comfortable .There entire team put me on ease and explained the expectations prior op and post op l am very greatful with the results cause it gives one the confidence with the new great look
I am extremely nervous patient- especially with with needles, injections and incisions- and the kind Dr Weyers and his extremely understanding staff made me feel very comfortable. Surgery is never that fun especially when its non-elective but I feel confident I had the best possible Doctor for it.I'd definitely go back to him and his wonderful smelling practise, especially considering I barely have a scar! Thanks for everything, Im very grateful!
I am a 30 year old female who had a breast reduction and lift performed by Dr Deon Weyers. I must be honest and say I was a little nervous when I first went in for my consultation but from the very first minute Dr Weyers put me completely at ease. He was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure and exactly what I could expect so far as results and scaring goes. He clearly has many years of experience as he answered all the questions I had in my head before I even asked them. Then to come to the actual surgery, I am not sure exactly what I had expected but I could not have possibly had a better experience than what I did. They took such great care of me, I never had any issues with pain control and all my questions were always answered. Even the aftercare by his team at his offices was top class, the ladies always took such great care of me and made it a point to explain exactly what they would be doing before they started. When it comes to the actual results of the surgery I could not be happier. I was adamant that I did not want small boobs I just wanted them more in proportion to my body and that is exactly what I got. I still can not believe it every time I look down that I finally have the breast I dreamed of. Only regret of the entire situation is that I did not have it 10 years ago. I would do it all again in a heartbeat and would really recommend Dr Weyers 100 times over. He and his entire team are absolutely amazing:)
Dr Weyers is a phenomenal plastic surgeon with such vast knowledge and perfectionism in every treatment/procedure he performs. My results far exceeded any expectation I had ever had and I would strongly recommend him to anybody wishing to have any sort of procedure done.
Dr Weyers is such a knowledgeable Doctor , he is a doctor that adds emotional support throughout your procedure adding that personal touch, he is an absolute perfectionist which is the only way to go in this field.The support staff are always friendly and always willing to help . Mark Norris
I had Vaser Lipo and fat transfer in October 2018 with dr Deon Weyers and it was the single most traumatic experience of my life. What should’ve been a straight forward cosmetic procedure ended up with me spending over a month recovering in a hotel (I’m from a different city) and that in itself was an inconvenience. At the consult I was explained of the risks of surgery but none of that prepared me for what I went through. My procedure was about 8 hours long (I was told it would be about 5 hours) I ended up with 3 rd degree burns on the right and left hand side of my abdomen, uneven lumps and bumps, a hard lumpy pouch above my pelvic area and black bruises as a result of burnt tissue underneath my skin. This doctor takes no responsibility for anything and blamed my poor results on me ‘not wearing’ the garment. I’m asthmatic and that was clearly stated before my surgery, the garment made it extremely difficult to breathe in but apparently wearing it is more important than being able to breathe. There’s a hard lumpy area above my pelvis that looks like a pouch, and when I asked him why is that, he told me to wait a few months and then we can ‘fix’ it..... that sent alarm bells, cos only mistakes need to be fixed, not if you do a proper job the first time around I’ve had to see another plastic surgeon back in my city to follow up on weather these burn wounds are healing and also for proper care. This doctor said I’m the first ever ‘complicated’ case and he’s never had this happen to any of his other patients, I somehow find this really hard to believe, dodgy. My plastic surgeon actually laughed at that when I told him I was the first ever case of a patient being burned and ending up with skin necrosis. After all the research I did to avoid going to a surgeon who would be sloppy and not give me excellent results, I still end up making a terrible decision by going to this doctor. I’ve been prescribed anti depressants now as a result of this trauma and I absolutely regret doing this procedure. My mom asked me, why did I pay him to disfugure me, and I felt like I should’ve been on an episode of ‘botched’
The Doctor is fine I'm sure , if i ever got the opportunity to be operated on. His offices and reception staff on the other hand are beyond pathetic. Firstly 3 lazy receptionists means you always talking to a different person who has no idea of your specific case. Secondly his practice manager does not get back to you with regards to operation dates , I had 3 dates given to me by the hospital and a colleague he was meant to work with on my operation , all of which he missed due to his practice manager
Thank you so much for your question. And well done - your starting point for improving the signs of cellulite is a healthy diet and exercise. As you might know, cellulite affects more than 90% of women - and there are several factors which worsen or improve its appearance. Endermologie involves a gentle sucking and massage theraqpy to affected areas - predominantly the thigh areas. This results in improved circulation to the skin and underlying soft tissue, providing more oxygen rich blood needed for normal cell function. At the same time toxins and by byproducts of cellular metabolism are massaged away from the area. Several treatment sessions, about two a week for a total of 20 sessions will be a good starting routine with maintenance sessions once every 1 to 2 weeks thereafter. Even though there is no 'miracle cure' for cellulite, Endermologie will definitely compliment your healthy lifestyle in improving the appearance of superficial dimples and an overall smoother appearance.
It's great you got such a good result with your BBL procedure. Ageing is an ongoing process and in the thighs it often manifests as the worsening of cellulite and saggy appearance of skin. With endermologie the target area is massages with a device which has both a rolling and suction action. This stimulates improved circulation to the skin surface, carrying away the toxins which worsen the appearance of cellulite and promoting a tighter and smoother quality to the skin. Even though blood poly to the fatty tissues are increased removing unwanted byproducts, no 'break down' or decrease in the fat cells are caused by enedermologie and the treatment should just enhance your beautiful result further - especially 4 years after your procedure where the fat used in the fat grafting procedure will be securely established. I can only advise that endermologie will complement your result, but I would make sure by running this by the surgeon who performed your surgery and maybe get their opinion too.
Thank you for your question. Belotero Soft or Balance are good options to consider to soften the residual lines on the forehead. These belotero fillers have a unique advantage that it won't leave blue discoloration see through the skin of where the filler has been placed, like other superficial fillers might do. In my practice, I would usually advise to first consider the needling tretment and thereby prepare the skin for a better result from the filler treatment. Alternatively I would advise to start with the microneedling treatment 4 weeks or later after the filler treatment. With Belotero Soft or Belotero Balance you can't go wrong in this area.
It would be better to approach your surgery in two stages, depending on what your priorities are. My suggestion would be to perform liposuction of the flanks, the back and the abdomen along with a brazilian butt lift with the fat harvested in the first stage of surgery. I use VASER to perform liposuction in most of my patients, as I believe it provides better skin and soft tissue tightening as well as having less side effects of bruising and discomfort in the recovery period - but check with your plastic surgeon which method he prefers to ensure the best results. I also offer my patients the option of storing excess fat at a local fat bank. This offers patients the option to have their fat (enriched with stem cells) made available in future, should any further augmentation of the buttocks (or other areas) be necessary. In the second stage of your surgery (usually about 6 months later) I would advise a tummy tuck and breast lift to complete your procedure. Best candidates for this type of surgery are those with a body mass index below 30, although I do believe (if approached safely and in a staged approach as suggested) you will have good results based on the pictures you provided. I wish you all the best in this very exciting road you are on!
Thanks for the question. The problem you are concerned about is actually a condition called Mondor's Cords or Mondor's disease. This arises from inflammation in the superficial veins in this area of the chest which can lead to clots within the veins. Reasons for this may come from the impact of surgery, increased pressure on the veins from the implanted post procedural swelling. Unfortunately some symptomatic relief with anti-inflammatories and giving it time is what is recommended. But hang in there, most cases of Mondor's Cords following breast augmentation surgery will settle down after a few months (3 in most cases). I would suggest you mention this to your surgeon, I'm sure they'd like to know so they can reassure you. All the best for the rest of your recovery!
