I had a mommy makeover 5 years ago from Dr. Emmett, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her and her staff and the results. She used an epidural instead of being put fully under, so I woke up without being nauseous and is was the quickest I've ever recovered from a surgery. First surgery where I didn't vomit afterwards.I followed all her directions and was off pain meds in three days post-op, and no drains made recovery easier. Every post-op appointment was included in the total cost and at no point did I feel nickel-and-dimed.My scars are almost non existent and I'm fair skinned and scar very easily. She is very patient in answering all your questions, and everything went exactly how it was explained. The job she did is amazing, and everyone who sees me cannot believe how natural everything looks. Easiest recommendation ever!
1st Sculpsure procedure hurt really bad- it was sharp pains since the fresh fat was being zapped but saw a little bit of result, then had my 2nd procedure yesterday and did not hurt at all. I will keep you posted on my progress!! I had a lot of fat bulges from the 1st time, waiting for the results of the 2nd. Pictures later!! Highly recommend it!
Dr. Jennifer Emmett's work is perfection. As a patient, I felt heard, important, and extremely cared for by her entire warm and helpful staff. I am THRILLED with her work! I am so happy with my results! Dr. Emmett's experience and expertise made me feel confident and calm from the beginning to end..
I have always wanted a fuller upper lip since I was young. I had tried getting cosmetic lip liner and that didn't seem to work. After researching pros and cons between lip fillers and a lip implant, it seemed as though a lip implant was more beneficial. Cost wise and longevity wise. So far it's been 3 days and I am still very swollen. It has settled down a bit since surgery though. I'm excited to see results within the next couple of weeks. Updated on 15 Jan 2016: I'm not going to lie, the past few days have sucked. From day 3-6 the swelling was bad. Especially having to go back to work so soon. Luckily my co-workers were kind enough to make me feel better by wearing medical masks with me so no clients could see how swollen I was. Now waking up on day 7 the pain and swelling dramatically went down. I'm feeling back to normal again. Still have a little more swelling to go down. But so far I'm loving how they're starting to look. Updated on 15 Jan 2016: Pictures throughout the first week Updated on 15 Jan 2016: Here's my before picture. Also with the lip implant I only did my top lip not the bottom. Updated on 15 Jan 2016: Contacts workers being super supportive. Always nice to have positive people around after surgery.
I think I have became addicted to realself. I have been looking at all of your transformations over the last year and decided that 2014 Is going to be my year! First I plan on getting BA on Jan 10 my pre op is on Jan 2 and then I wan to get BBL. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. So after going to my consultation my doctor and I decided to go with 450cc, Hp, silicone gel under the muscle. However, I'm going to take some wish pics for her to look at during my pre op because I really want to get my desired results, not wishing I had went bigger. I'm 5'3 and I weigh 134pds. I have looked at countless pictures and read many reviews but I haven't found anyone who really matches my stats or has a similar body shape to myself I'm so confused! Updated on 2 Jan 2014: So I went to my pre op appointment and took my "wish pics" with me and my doctor said some of them were unrealistic. However, we both settled on one that she felt comfortable doing and I felt would be a good size. So I tried on the sizers again and picked the 500 cc mentor silicone gel implant. I made my final payment and then Dr. Emmett assistant Jen ( she is so awesome and informative, both of them together have definitely made this experience enjoyable!) went over all the paperwork and answered all my questions about my nipples pointing in crazy directions, the possibility of uni-boob, bottoming out or a space between my boobs. I got my prescriptions that's about it. So now I'm getting closer and closer to my surgery date, I'm extremely excited as much as I am nervous. I definitely got "boobie greed" so now I'm just praying I didn't get them too big lol! Updated on 12 Jan 2014: So I got my BA on the Jan 10 2014. When I got to the surgery center the staff was awesome they did everything they could do you make me feel comfortable. After answering some questions and signing some disclosures they took me to my bed had my change into my gown, take a pee test and the Anesthesiologist "Big John" came in to talk to me, explaining what he was going to be doing. They put in my IV, put some medicine in the IV and rolled me to the surgery room. Next thing I know I was back in the room I was originally in and I had two big lumps on my chest. I wasn't in any pain at all I felt a little woozy but I asked the nurse to go get my mom, which she did and I got my clothes from my mom and put them on. I slept in the car on the way to my moms house and went back to sleep when I got in the bed. No pain at all. DAY 1 Still no pain in fact I put a TCA peel on my face. No nausea, no problems using the bathroom taking all my meds on time . I'm not on any pain killers but I do have a quit a few meds the Lyrica is what I think is helping the best but I don't know. Day 2 Today I woke up ate. Took my meds Still no pain, my boobs look like sponge bob boobs can't wait for them to look normal. Now I'm just worried about then dropping. How long did it take for your boobs to look normal? Updated on 12 Feb 2016: I love them
I decided to get a facelift after seeing photos from my 40th HS reunion. Lifestyle in Denver offered an additional discount on the procedure because I took an appointment time that had been cancelled by another client. I love a bargain! I look easily ten years younger. Everyone has noticed how much better I look. One thing: nothing any provider tells you will prepare you for the swelling and bruising post-op. Of course, your mileage may vary. In my case, I had LOT of sagging skin and tissue, which may have made my swelling/bruising worse. The first two days I thought "what have I done to myself?? This is terrible!" But after about 4 or 5 weeks, as the swelling & bruising went down, I was thrilled!
I have a bizarre disorder that requires me to have liposuction every two years as my body grows fat on the left side. If we don't do liposuction, my muscle mass and bone on that side increase. Dr. Emmett did an awesome job on six areas that needed work. This was my second surgery, so we went through scar tissue which made the recovery more difficult. I view her as one of my health partners.
Have BA / BL coming up. Will be May 16th, tho they are trying to get me in May 1 or may 2 if possible. Boy do I want in sooner. I am now a B / C cup, 5' 7" , 140 lbs, early fifties. Will be C / D after surgery. Doing silicone gel, moderate profile, under muscle. Doc says in her entire career she has only put in saline implants once. They harden and rupture, then more surgery is needed I am a gym rat. I pump iron often, doc thinks going under muscle won't be a big problem unless my pecs were to get much bigger than they are now. I did not breast feed my kids , tho many researchers think breast feeding is not what causes sagging. I have sagged since my twenties, but it has gotten so bad lately that I have to wear a bra until the moment I go to bed. The sagging is very uncomfortable for me. It just feels like something is drastically wrong, like i have these weird limbs dangling off my body that are unwanted, unneeded, in my way. I can't even jog with a very supportive jogging bra because the girls bounce so badly I will try to get before pix in here , once I am sure I have privacy here I sit on my arse all day at work, so I won't take even a full week off. I work at home one day a week, and when I go in, the commute is extremely short... And i luv my work. So I am hoping going back won't be brutal. I will have tons of food prepped in advance etc This forum rocks, I will use it to make a to do listUpdated on 5 Apr 2012:My date got moved up from May 16 to May 2! Arrive at 7:30 am, surgery at 9:00 I am excited and nervous. My heart started beating faster when I received the email saying May 2 was possible. As they say, be careful what you wish for, for you will surely get it. A friend who had this done years ago and said do NOT disappear from work for a few days and come back with obviously bigger girls. She said start wearing padding in the bra ahead of time... so when you go missing from work for a few days and return, the girls won't appear bigger, and it won't be obvious what you've been up to... So I've been following that advice. BL and BA together. Doc says I'll be C/D afterwards. I have been that size before when I was a lil heavier but I'm B/C now. I was kidding hubby, asking him if he wants to place a custom order. He was smart enough to say I look fine as I am now. I could NOT get any order out of him (hee hee) PS wants approval from my primary doc, along with EKG, so I am scheduling all that tomorrow. Yes, you'll get pix.Updated on 14 Apr 2012:Just got clearance from my physician for the surgery. Good to go. The new girls will be slightly bigger than the current floppy girls. I've been wearing padding in the bra, specifically so I won't be obviously bigger immediately after having been gone for a few days (hee hee). WHAT DO I TELL THE BOSS? He knows I have three days off... and I might ask to work from home part of the next week for half days. WHAT DO I TELL HIM? I suppose I could say I'm having a small medical procedure done, and leave it at that. I'll have the entire house spic and span, stocked with groceries. Hubby and I do that every weekend anyway. And I have my ipad to keep me entertained. The current girls reside 2 inches BELOW the fold. It's worth a month of inconvenience to change that. Gonna be tough not pumping iron for a while, and I'm also going to miss shooting pool. I wonder when I can get back to that. Have a table at home, its lots of fun.Updated on 18 Apr 2012:Pre op tomorrow, plus I write a huge check. Gulp. Tried to get a cashiers check this afternoon and the bank noticed my drivers license expired, lol. I can't wait to get rid of these odd things flopping around. Two weeks from today I will have brand new girls and I will be quite stoned. I will post pix eventuallyUpdated on 22 Apr 2012:Had pre op appointment on Thursday. Doc took before pix. She showed me a picture of someone my age whose pre-op girls looked almost identical to mine... Doc also showed me this lady's post op pix - they are exactly what I want. I got a huge list of prescriptions. I just now dropped all those off at the pharmacy.. except for the percoset. I'm going to ask for something else. Percoset makes me nauseous. My doc was originally gonna give me 3 ambien (only). I told her if I am gonna sleep on my back for weeks I want more ambien - she gave me 20. I have an awesome leather sofa with double recliner - I will park there for 6 weeks. . I would not be at all surprised to see my hubby on the sofa with me. We are disgusting - can't be apart at night for 6 weeks. I'm getting 375cc, under pec. I'll prolly be a C/D afterwards. Starting as a B-ish - but much of what I now have will be removed, it sags so bad. Today I picked up items that women from this forum told suggest: back scratcher , a neck pillow, two pair of summer pj's that button in front (great Kohls sale) and also flexible straws. Doc wants me to take vitamin c twice a day now... and a week after surgery also start megadoses of vitamin E. I stocked up on all that.Updated on 27 Apr 2012:I Told hubby he better cop a few feels of 'natural' boobies' while he can, and enjoy romance while he can. I am getting my job and house very organized. Shooting pool and soaking in hot tub lots now coz I will be missing out on such fun soon. Skipping my one nightly glass of wine til 2 weeks after surgery. I will post pre pix this weekend. You will quickly understand why I want the lift!Updated on 27 Apr 2012:And here come the before pix. Four pix are on the way. One picture shows me holding one boob where it SHOULD be - so you can see exactly how out of place the other boob is. The breasts are resting about 2 inches below the fold. I am proud of my upper arms - I work hard - but I am NOT thrilled with the boobs.Updated on 30 Apr 2012:Less than 48 hours to go. Surgery is at 12:30 pm on Wed. I arrive 11:00 am. Can't eat or drink anything that morning - so I anticipate a full day of fasting. I will wake up around 6:00 pm in recovery room. I anticipate a caffeine headache when I wake up (since no coffee that morning)... so I will have caffeinated soda ready to drink after I wake up. House is spotless, laundry done, groceries bought, bills paid, some meals made in advance and frozen. I will take ambien the nite before. Without it I'd be awake the whole stinking nite! Tues nite will be one last good workout at the gym... along with many hours of shooting pool. A last hoorah.Updated on 2 May 2012:Today is the day, leave in about an hour. Showered but I can't put on any lotion - that is such a habit. I have on thin, loose sweat pants, which are easy to get into, plus a very thin large Nike hoody (kinda warm today). Instead of sneakers, which are quite hard to put on and tie, I'm wearing shoes that I can slide into. They had me take one nerve pain pill last nite, so I'm feeling a little happy. They did let me drink clear liquids til 9:30 am, thank God! I'm not thirsty right now but I'd love breakfast right now. I'm adding last pre pic (tank top)Updated on 3 May 2012:I went yesterday From what I can see my tata's are simply gorgeous. I can't tell the cup size just yet. YES they are very high until the pec muscles relax. My doc kept marking my girls and measuring stuff before surgery. Cracked me up when she got out her leveler tool, totally true. My Carpenter / artist / surgeon. I do NOT remember the recovery room at all, and I do not remember the drive home. I just remember waking up on our nice recliner sofa, lol! NEVER NAUSEOUS. I had Lots of pain last nite. Hubby fed me some yogurt topped with granola and them he gave me pain meds a few times. And he slept with me on sofa. My sweetie. Not nearly as much pain this morning. Especially if I don't move much. Just took a lyrica and a Vicodin, should be very happy very soon. Soon as I can I will post pix, they are very prettyUpdated on 7 May 2012:Well ladies I love my new tata's. The shape is perfect, the nipples are in the perfect place, I mean I am happy. Only thing is I have several shades of purple to get past. .... Until the bruises leave I'm only posting pix with clothes. I went back to work today - and was a little absent minded.... that should go away quickly. I was also quite tired - wanted a nap the entire day.Updated on 8 May 2012:I have been using arnica Montana and still have slight bruising. My ps started me on it several days before surgery. Sorry I did not Understand some of the posts below referring to 'amica'Updated on 10 May 2012:Saw ps today. I am healing nicely. I absolutely luv the tata's. When the color improves a bit more I'll post more pix. Still a bit tired and occasional pain.Updated on 18 May 2012:It's been 16 days now. I am EXTREMELY happy with the symmetry and shape of the new girls. ALREADY I can hardly see the scars. That amazes me and I'm thrilled about it. There are scabs around the nipple that are taking their dear sweet time to heal. Docs says if the scabs cause scars she can very easily remove those in her office. This is the first day that I have not some brief shooting pain at some point in the day. Sometimes I wish I'd have gone a little bit smaller... tho had I done that I'd wish I was a little bit larger. The grass is always greener somewhere else.Updated on 24 May 2012:I could not be happier with these new girls. This has surpassed my hopes of what I was going to get! I love the shape. To me they feel almost real... getting softer every day. The scabs are almost gone. I can hardly even see the cut from the nipple down. The cut that goes at the fold is very well hidden.Updated on 2 Jun 2012:Feeling fantastic, healing very well. Love wearing my bikini at the pool, with my new tata's. Eating very healthy, taking tons of antioxidants, having very little alcohol. It's been over 4 weeks now. I'm doing relatively heavy squats, deadlifts and (back) rows now . In about 10 days the doc will let me do anything in the gym. I can really feel the implants just doing light lat pull downs - that scared me a little but I will get used to it. Updating pix today.Updated on 25 Jun 2012:I went to my normal doctor's office today and saw the female physician's assistant. She is in her 50s and was very curious about my experience, since she has sagging tatas too. She thought my twins looked fantastic. She'd love to have this done herself, but she was not too sure about spending this much money. If you ask me it's worth every penny.
Do NOT go here. The staff is so sweet and will go over board telling u how great dr. Emmett is. Now I understand why. She seems like a talented surgeon but she is very aggressive. She will pinch, poke, and scream at you while she’s consulting. She was not only aggressive physically but verbally too. She was swearing, rude, and super unprofessional. I am okay with a surgeon stating that specific desires are unrealistic, however, she didn’t just do that she yelled in my face about how it was never going to happen and even compared my anatomy to something she deemed negative. I really would avoid her at all costs. Not a nice person. highly recommend going anywhere else.
If you find out you have cancer before the surgery; don't got to Dr. Emmett. She will KEEP your money and ignore any communication. A few weeks before my mommy makeover with Dr. Emmett she required a mammogram before my surgery. It came back with breast cancer which of course changed the surgery planned. Instead of being encouraging and understanding the office said no matter what they keep their deposit. Since then I have tried to get a hold of the office and nobody will get back to me to discuss further. I am truly disappointed in how this place runs their business and would not recommend.
SculpSure should not affect your period in any way. If you are concerned, I would contact your SculpSure provider or your Obgyn.
