At 62, wearing a 36G, a breast reduction has been a dream for 25+ years. I am now a C cup. I wish I knew that side boob would still be an issue and how my stomach pooch is now visibly more pronounced. I feel like a flat chested fat girl. I didn't realize the negatives that come with the positive. Yes, it was worth it, but I wish someone would have told me about the negatives.
Just had a consultation with Dr. Murphy and honestly he’s great. He’s given me another reason to sit back and really think everything I want done through. Definitely can’t wait to figure out what I’m gonna do and schedule.

Recommend 100 percent!
Couldn't be happier with going with Dr. Murphy for my breast augmentation. I am 5'8 150lbs and went with 560cc. I am 5 weeks post op and everything is healing nicely, the implants have stated to drop and they look natural. Now that I am used to them I almost wish I went bigger! Haha. From the beginning I trusted Dr. Murphy, you select implants by looking at photos and he selects the size that's best for your frame. He brings a range of implant sizes into the operating room which

45 years old with 2 children
I had my initial consult with Dr Murphy 1 week ago on 10/23 and I’m scheduled for my BA on 11/7. I’m 45 and I’ve had 2 children. My youngest is 11 years old and my oldest is 15. I’ve lost 36 pounds over the past few years and my breasts are deflated. I’m ready to bring my sexy back! I’m newly married (14 months) and my husband and I are on a fitness journey and a journey to have a long happy life together while looking the best we can. I’m a small B at this point and wanting to

Smart Lipo
Hi! I am 21 years old, 5'4, and weigh 155 lbs. I will be getting Smart Lipo on my full abdomen, flanks, love handles, and bra fat rolls. For all my life I have been insecure about my body. Even at my skinniest at 120 lbs, I had a lower belly and love handles that wouldn't budge. Growing older, I have gained weight and even with dieting, exercising, I've been at the same weight for about a year. I'm tired of not enjoying myself in public because I feel so gross, or not even letting
Ever since I was little I was waiting and waiting for that puberty butterfly to “ poof” and give me boobs. Well.. that never happened, so when I finished school and got married decided it was time. Stats- Age: 26 Height: 5’6” Weight: 120 Bra size : barely 32b Children: No During preop appointment I wanted a very natural larger cup between a large c and small d. Doctor decided the appropriate cc’s would be between 480-550. He also stated my breast’s were pretty symmetrical but
I am done having children so I have been working out and getting into great shape. Too bad my boobs are tiny and sad. I’m an active athletic type so I don’t want giant Ds. Hoping in the range of 350-400cc. And I also don’t want them to scream “Fake”! I have a three consults lined up. I really liked my first one but he doesn’t do sizers. Hoping next week I can actually picture what I would look like with one on. Updated on 7 Mar 2018: So after going to 3 different consultants

Tummy Tuck
46 one, child age 17, massage weight loss 5 years ago, 310lb to 165lb, insurance paid due to it being medically necessary, I had to work with insurance copy after Dr. Murphy did his medical request. It was a fight and I won. One day surgery. He didn't mark me up but the OR staff at the surgery center said that's his thing. "If they had to choose at doctor they would choose him because his work is great. It made me comfortable. I had swelling, compression garment, and pain pills.
I've only had 1 consult so far with Dr. Murphy on Feb. 13th and the whole experience was amazing! He made me feel extremely comfortable, he went over all the risks and different choices. We are going with a silicone implant under the muscle and he listened to the goals I want to achieve and he feels confident we can achieve them :) so I'm extremely pleased and ready for surgery! Updated on 11 Mar 2017: After pregnancy, nursing and pumping for 2 years all together my breasts
Pre-op scheduled for 10/12! I'm a 33 year old mama of 2, whose boobies got put through the wringer while nursing! I've got a petite frame (5'1", 100lbs, 26" under bust) and am currently a 30C/32B, but with minimal breast tissue and enlarged areola. After SEVERAL consults, I have decided to go with Dr James Murphy for a Benelli lift and small implant; my goal being a perky, full C cup. I have read SO many mixed reviews on this procedure, but my nipple placement is acceptable
