I had breast implants back in march wasn't happy with the size due to my fear of going to big, exchanged my implants in July and could not be more happier. Dr Miller truly cares about his panients and his staff makes you feel very welcome.
Dr. Miller was wonderful very informative and not pushy. The staff is always cheerful and supportive i love going for my checkups!! I would recommend Dr. Miller all day long! I am post op 6 days now, cannot wait for my final results!! I chose a 400cc filled to 430cc saline implant under the muscle so its going to take time for them to drop and fluff.
I had never liked the shape of my breasts... I was always shaped very nice, and have spent a big part of my life in the gym...I have a daughter who is 27 and another daughter 10, whom I breastfed for almost a year... My breasts did not dramatically change size or shape due to pregnancy, and I never got any stretch marks because of this... I am 5'4" and maintain a weight between 130 and 140.. .... I can remember at about 15 to 16 years old, reading Seventeen magazine and they had a test where you place a pencil under your breast to see if it has any sagging... I could easily hold the pencil under my breasts, and there began my unhappiness with my breasts... I always received a lot of attention because of my breasts, which remained a 36D throughout my life... I worked out a lot and was jealous of either the women who had smaller breasts and could wear cute little sports bras, or the women who had implants and their boobs didn't move!! I didn't fit into either category!! .... I had two consultations... One at about 27 and the other at 31.. They were with the same surgeon and I was actually angry that I couldn't get just implants, but required a lift... I was unhappy, but didn't know if I was unhappy enough to deal with incisions and scarring. .... About three months ago, a coworker told me she was going for a TT, and we began talking... I confided I had always wished for a breast lift... He was approximately 1.5 hrs from New Orleans... I met him and his office staff and immediately felt comfortable... I had just assumed they would do implants, but they stared that would not be necessary. .... I called 3 days later and booked for February... At my pre-op the day before surgery, I just wanted to feel confident that he could get me enough upper pole fullness... The fact that I never really had a lot of that, it was important to me... I am 5 days post op at this time, and I feel great... I went yesterday to have the ACE wrap and drains removed... At this time, I can shower and really any and all soreness is gone... I am wearing my surgical bra and I am absolutely thrilled that I finally did this... I always wore really nice VS bras, and in clothes, I was always asked if I had implants... They were too big to fall out of my bra, but I haven't slept without an underwire bra since I was 21.. I will continue to post pictures of my recovery.. I will post pictures later on today. Updated on 17 Feb 2016: More pictures Updated on 19 Feb 2016: Feel great...no problems. Taking showers and return to Dr next week to have sutures removed which weren't dissolvable. Doing everything I did before surgery, just not lifting anything heavy, pulling on anything heavy, etc. Will post pictures later.
I really don't see anything but good coming from my beast being bigger, before I was like a boy a small a cup I put on bra's to make it look like i had something up there, I still have the bandage on and already feel better I take some pictures to post so any one wants to see the outcome can ,am starting to hurt pretty bad so I can't write much right now I will update when I feel better am so thankful to have had the best DR & nurses may God bless you all. Updated on 25 Jul 2015: Still hurting but dr miller and his nurse told me what to expect,how they high up right now so I think they going to come out great
Shoulder pain is no fun, and having huge boobs is no picnic either. I've always been pretty chesty but as menopause came on I seemed to just keep getting bigger and bigger. Enough. So glad I worked up the courage to go in for a consultation. My surgery went great and so far so good! Looking forward to seeing how I will continue to heal and when I will feel like these are really my girls! Updated on 22 May 2014: One week and a day post surgery; my sweet hubby has been such a help and not letting me over do it. He still has not seen the new boobs, He is very sqimish so I don't blame him at all. It is hard for people who love you to see you in pain and all sliced up. I have been taking it very slowly, but I admit I am getting bored and restless. I have not been driving but I think I am just fine to go to the store by myself for a short outing today. I need a few more post surgery bras in a slightly smaller band size. Thr surgical center had me buy a large band size so the dressings would fit comfortably underneath. Since I don't need dressings now I'll go get some smaller bras. So for those making a decision about BR lrt me tell you how this happened for me. I have hated my boobs for a number of years. They effect most things I do, even if you don't realize it. My arm mobility, my clothing choices, wheather I can be physically active. The embarrasment alone is very devestating. I've used very compressing minimizer bras for years, I kept creeping up in cup size. Finally I knew I was going to have to buy a 36G because DDD was to small to contain them, the enemy. I was very depressed and ordered 6 new 36DDD bras refusing to face reality. That was my moment . I realized I was going to do something radical. Before the new bras even arrived I had an appointment for a consultation. I had a good consult and the office staff sent in everything for the insurance approval. I called 2 weeks later to check on the progress. They had spoken with the insurance that morning, and sent in the photos, by the end of the day I was approved and had a date set of May 14th. After my next appointment I will update you on my progress. So far this has been much easier than I would have ever imagined. Updated on 2 Jun 2014: 2 weeks post op got my stitches removed. It was not all that painful. However the next day I was sensitive and pretty sore. I also have to keep reminding myself that need to take it easy, when I do to much I get very tired and sore. My tips to you are to relax as much as possible and drink lots and lots of fluids! Updated on 4 Jun 2014: Doing very well and accomplishing more each day. Left breast still more tender snd slightly swollen but nothing uncomfortable. My energy level is lower than I woild like, but getting better every day. Hope all of you that are recovering are doing well. Updated on 18 Jun 2014: Progress is good, less swelling and soreness. Lefty is still way behind Righty, but coming along. I started back biking, after all this resting it doesn't take much to get my heart rate up. Bought 2 cotton underwire bras 36D, they are not all that pretty, but it beats 36G! Updated on 9 Jul 2014: Everything is looking pretty good and I have virtually no soreness or pain except for the occational zinger. Still looking a little bigger in the left boob but I will wait until 6 months out before worrying. I am so happy to be able to wear normal cloths, and not feel like I am defined by bosom lol! Updated on 15 Nov 2014: Since about 4 months I have been pain free except for occasional zingers in my left breast. I am so grateful to have gotten through this with no complications and minimal discomfort. Hopefully the scars will lighten up over the next year making the result even better. The constant tightness and pain in my shoulders and neck are gone. I'm satisfied with the shape although in retrospect I do wish I had gone a bit smaller.
I am 23 years old. I have a 3 Year old and I am 5'6" 122 pounds. I am a 34B currently. While I was pregnant and all through breast feeding my son I was a D or bigger. Since stopping breast feeding and losing about 25 pounds in the last year I have lost all size in my breast and unfortunately they look saggy. I met with my PS last Thursday and we decide that I would get 390cc implants and fill to 420cc. He said I could accommodate larger, however I do not want to be to big. I want to be big enough that I look proportionate but not so big that when I walk in a room people are like look at those, Definitely Fake! I am afraid now that 420cc will not be big enough. My husband of course thinks otherwise he feels that 420cc will be plenty. I am getting saline with the incision under the breast and placed under the muscle. Updated on 2 Jul 2012: Okay, only Two weeks and two days until surgery. I can not wait. I go for my pre-op on the 12th and going to try on the sizers again. Still undecided on whether or not I am going to go bigger than 420cc. I just don't want to regret not going bigger but still want to appear natural. I am beyond ready for boobs. I had them while pregnant and breastfeeding and loved it. I am ready to appear like a woman and fill out shirts that I refuse to wear now because of how small I am. I will add before photos soon. Updated on 10 Jul 2012: Okay, I am a week and one day until my surgery. I am super excited and already so anxious I am not sleeping that great at night. I am still not sure which size I am going to get. Right now I am getting 390cc filled to 420cc. I am not positive that will be big enough but am also terrified to go any bigger and look like Dolly Parton. :) I am having my surgery on Wednesday the 18th and plan to go back to work on Monday the 22nd. I work in an office at a desk all day so I am hoping that is enough down time. I am posting before pictures today. Updated on 12 Jul 2012: So, pre op went well. I am more undecided at this point then I was before. I decided on 420 filled to 450cc. Simply because of everyone stating that they wished they went bigger and my PS confirmed that going under the muscle does usually appear smaller. I am scared now that I may think they are to big. My nurse said they would look great because of my height and long torso. Ugh... Decisions!!! I get more and more nervous every day that it gets closer to surgery date. I'm becoming an emotional wreck. Too many emotions for one person to handle. Should I do it? Should I not? Is it wrong to spend that much money for an elected surgery? So many different opinions about me getting a BA. Well, gonna go fix my hubby dinner. I will update as the day gets closer. Updated on 13 Jul 2012: So, I have thought on it and decided I am going to call my PS and stick with the 390 filled to 420cc. As the nurse mentioned my PS would put a little extra in and I would rather be a little smaller than I expected then much bigger and look like a [RS bleep] star or stripper.(not that there is anything wrong with either look just not the look I am going for) I hate being back and forth but it is a big decision with lots of money involved. So dang hard to decide. Updated on 16 Jul 2012: 2 Days!! I can't wait. I am looking forward to seeing the new girls. I think I am going crazy. I am dreaming about my surgery. I had a dream that when I wake up they are huge and really bad looking and they remain like that I hated them. I am so nervous that they are not going to be what I want. I did settle on a size finally. I am getting 420 filled to 450cc moderate profile. I hope that isn't to big! I will post more pictures soon. Updated on 17 Jul 2012: Tomorrow is the big day. I go in at 7 in the morning. I can't wait. I am not really nervous more excited. A little anxious to see what they look like. I go this afternoon to get my surgical bra. I got all of my prescriptions filled. I can't believe it is finally here. I never dreamed I would be doing this. There is such a negative connotation on plastic surgery and it is hard to deal with people who have negative opinions. Really tired of the questions " what is your husband not happy with the size you are now?" I am not doing this for my husband or anyone else for that matter. This is for me and my self esteem.! I will update everyone tomorrow afternoon and post pictures as soon as I am able. I feel like a kid at Disney!!! Updated on 18 Jul 2012: Today was my day! Everything went great. I have 420 filled to 450cc. I really can't see them cause they are bound up tight. I was doing great earlier was up sitting in a wooden chair just felt like I did a killer workout, then the loretabs wore off and OMG I was hurting it hurt to breathe. I took more loretabs and have been putting Ice packs on all day. I am feeling better now that I have loretabs in my system. I go tomorrow for my one day post op appointment and can't wait to see them. I am going to post some more before pics and after pics tomorrow. I hope I am able to sleep tonight. I go back to work on Monday so I am hoping I will be recovered enough to go back. My mother in law has been taking care of my kids and house all day. She has helped me when I have needed it but I am not much on needing help so if I can do it myself I will do it myself. Nonetheless, she has been amazing. My kids have been great. It is so surreal to have it finally done. I will update everyone tomorrow as well as add pictures. Updated on 19 Jul 2012: One day post op. I am hurting really bad today. I have been taking the pain meds every four hours as directed and still hurting quiet a bit. I hear it is common to hurt worse the second day so I am not alarmed at this point. I go in to see me PS at 1:45 and will finally get to see the girls. I am excited! My mother in law has been amazing keeping my very hyper boys out of my room so I can recover. She has had to open my medicine bottles because I can't it hurts to bad. I am having some itching, not sure if that is normal going to ask the PS today. I have been in and out of sleep all morning but I finally got up and brushed my teeth and got dressed as I have a doctors appointment and my mother in law is taking my oldest two boys to a friend and she is bringing me to the PS. I have been putting Ice on my chest and it seems to help a bit but not a whole lot. I have some stretch mark/ scar cream coming in the mail from when I am finally able to use it. I can't wait to be able to wear regular clothes as I on have one button front shirt that fits right now. I will keep everyone updated. Updated on 22 Jul 2012: Okay, I hate them!!! I can't help it! I am hoping over time I will start to like them but they are high and not as big as I was expecting. I also am experience some sort of allergic reaction under by the incision and all around the bottom of my breast. I have commonly referred to my breast as alien boobs. Gosh I hope they setlle nicely and I love them. As far as the pain goes it has pretty much subsided and now I just am dealing with the allergic reaction to whatever it is I am allergic too. My PS said he has never seen this so he met me at his office at like 10 pm and prescribed a steroid pack. He has been great I have been able to reach him after hours and he has been more than helpful. Can anyone please tell me about how long it takes for the implants to drop and start looking like boobs. Updated on 23 Jul 2012: Okay all, I am in the debbie downer stage. I wish I would have never done the BA at this point. To me, they do not appear that much bigger. I am experiencing some allergic reaction that I nor my doctor have a clue of to what. it is below my breast and it is just getting worse. My doctor, however, has been great. He met me at his office on a Saturday night at 10 pm and put me on a steroid pack to try to counteract whatever the reaction is. I feel like I may be suffering from booby greed and I am hoping that this down in the dumps whiney stage will pass very soon. As for the pain I am still quiet sore but no need for narcotics or any pain medicine at this point. Anyone have any advice on the hating my BA at the moment. Does it get better? Is it normal to be feeling this way? ugh...... :( Updated on 25 Jul 2012: I am 1 week post op. Things are going good. I am having trouble sleeping at night. Of course, I can't sleep on my sides or stomach I have to sleep on my back. I am a side sleeper. Going to try the couch tonight. I returned to work Monday. I have minimal pain. Mostly just achy and sore especially by the end of the day. I no longer hate them as they have dropped and so many people have encouraged me that it does get better. I did break out in a strange rash under neath my breasts and not real sure what or where it came from. I go back to see me PS tomorrow. I can't wait till he tells me the status of the girls. I am also ready to start massaging them as they are so firm. I hope that gets better. I will post one week post op pictures soon. Updated on 26 Jul 2012: Went to PS today for 1 week check up. He removed the stitches and said that in about a week I need to start massaging them. I have a little air bubble that he stated would likely go away. I am dropping nicely and the rash that I had is starting to go away. I love his office the staff is so nice. Updated on 1 Aug 2012: I am 3 weeks post op today. I am doing great. Still have days where I wish I would have gone bigger but hoping that will change once they are dropped and in place. They have dropped some but not nearly enough I still have what I call "alien boobs". I also wanted to state anyone having a BA and want it to go un-noticed then go to Victoria Secrets and get a bra or two that say that they add 2 cup sized because I am telling you I wore one before surgery for about 6 months and I got asked today " did I miss something? I thought you were having Breast Augmentation." It's amazing what a good padded bra will do. The funny part is they are noticably bigger. I went to 450cc. According to my PS and his nurse I should be a large C small D when they are finally in place. However, I will say that I am still in a sports bra that has them pinned down pretty good and I have been wearing clothes to hide them so I am sure that does not help much. Once they heal and are no longer funny looking I plan to let the girls free. Anyway, overall I am feeling much better about the surgery opposed to how I was at the beginning. I feel like they are actually starting to feel like they are my own. I haven't posted new pictures yet but will soon. Updated on 24 Aug 2012: I am 5 weeks and 2 days post op. I am completely back to normal. I am able to lift my 3 year old with no problems. I have not dropped as low as I would like but I have dropped quiet a bit. My PS recommended some breast exercises when I was almost 3 weeks post op and I will say they absolutely softened the girls up and they feel natural. I am beyond ready for them to drop into place and not be so high. I will post an updated picture soon. I do however have some doubts on the size I went with. I went 450cc on both sides and to me they are small. Most people that know I had a BA make comments like it doesn't look like anything is different, did I really have it done, etc. that is all thanks to my add two cup sized VS bras. I wore them religiously because I was so small before. I look at pictures from before and after and can tell a huge difference but I suffer from boobie greed! My husband is coming around also. At first, he hated them. He said it was because I wouldn't let him touch them. I was so sore at first and had some nerve issues with my right one that it hurt to even touch that has subsided a bit since. I look forward to 3 months post op. Updated on 17 Jan 2013: It has been 6 months since I had my augmentation. I love my new girls. They took about three months to drop into place but now they are beautiful. Often I have to look at old pictures to compare. My PS did an amazing job. I will post some update pictures soon. I have behind the muscle and I hear/feel a popping when my chest muscle constrict and then relax. If anyone has similar problems and could shine some light on what the problem is it would be greatly appreciated.
A few Stats: 27yo, 150lbs, 5'3" athletic. Ive been wanting a BA since i was 18yo, ive danced my entire life (until i got pregnant at 25) so i never really pursued a BA, i imagined a bigger chest would just get in the way of my dancing. After pregnancy and breastfeeding it really started to affect the way i look at my body. I hate the way my chest looks, i want bigger, fuller, sexier breasts, but i dont want them to look too big or look like 2 baseballs on my chest. I want to be confident with my body again. I had my consultation in Oct. We agreed on 400cc saline high profile, but after doing more research and reading reviews on here, i think i may want to go bigger. Alot of women wish they had gone bigger after it was all over with, i dont want that to happen to me. I want to have the procedure one time and absolutely LOVE it. Anybody's opinion on sizes, etc are welcome :) Im 35 days away! I cant wait.
So far I'm a little nervous about tomorrow My goals are I hope I don't have a lot of Scarring but anything well be better and lighter then we're I'm at today I'm just ready to feel comfortable and confident n my body again can't wait!!! Tomorrow morning going to be a long 4 hours I can't wait!!

I do have the heaviness at the bottom of both breast but know it's only cause the swell needs but I'm happy more updates coming soon keep u update!!! Updated on 3 Aug 2016: So yesterday I had my two week check up with Doctor Miller he took out almost all my staples that were on the sides of both best and the sticking around my nipples. He left maybe five or six in in the areas that still need a little more healing in so i go back to see him again in two weeks to get those out. The only problem since the surgery is my right nipple has been discharging and pilling bad compared to the other one but beside that I'm healing Great I feel great!!! Updated on 3 Aug 2016: Loving myself in my skin now and they look so great!!!
Hoping to get rid of loose skin & tighten abdominal muscles to have the flat stomach ive always dreamed of. Consultation had was great so far the Dr and staff took over two hours answering my questions and making me comfortable. On 23rd will have my pre op appt and will have more information then. Surgery is set for the 26th. Updated on 16 Jun 2015: Looking to fill breasts in and give volume back after having four children that i breastfed. Im also looking to gain a small increase in size. Im already around a 36C and no lift is needed. I Decided on a 300mp saline implant filled to 330 under the muscle. My pre-op is on the 23rd but so far the Dr & staff have been great. Updated on 30 Jun 2015: Feel like I bench pressed a house from breast augmentation and like im having labor contractions (abdominal tightening) from tt but im loving the way i look already! I know it will be awhile till im healed and fully recovered but im so happyi did this for myself!
I'm a 30 yr. old mother of 1 with 3 step kids. I'm 5'8 195lbs. My biggest weight was 300lbs so needless to say I have lots of skin and my boobs are pretty much gone so I chose to get a full tummy tuck and breast aug. my loose skin effects my sex life with my husband and my kids sure love to pick on me about not having a belly button because you can't see it because of my over hanging skin. My pre op is May 23rd I will let everyone know how it goes. I'm excited to feel good in my body for one in my life. I've always heard "you have such a pretty face" no more of that for me. ;D I hope I have a quick recovery so I can spend a part of the summer with the kids. Updated on 23 May 2013: Updated on 30 May 2013: Feels like nothing i am doing is going to have me ready. kind of getting scared but I know it will be worth it and the pain is only going to be temporary. My OCD is kicking in when it comes to having a clean house and the kids cant wait till I'm out of commission so ill stop fussing at them to clean up lol. The kids were saying we're gonna starve there isn't going to be food for us (keep in mind my whole fridge is filled they just don't want the food i have) that's coming from my 15yr old who is unhappy with life rt now lol dang teens!! Booked a hotel near the dr so can be on time for surgery. the day of surgery I have to travel 45 mins back home then go up stairs when I get home and do it all over again the next day for my check up. I don't know guess its just my nerves. And it doesn't help my husband showed me a video of the process ????????. My pre op went great my doctor and his staff were nice yet again!! No complaints there I got to see before and after pics because his website doesn't show too many. I guess for privacy that's a good thing! The boobs looked good and the TT scars were low. I found out I'm getting 420cc I hope it's not going to be too big but I have broad shoulders so they said it will be just rt on my chest. I will update y'all Monday when I get there and after if I'm not too out of it lol. Updated on 31 May 2013: today i start my liquid diet hmm 3 days of no food might have me on edge hope my husband and kids can handle me. Yes im saying this again but im happy i came across this website it has helped me prepare even though i still have so much to do. i did come across a few list on http://www.tuckthattummy.com/recovery_info.htm one especially that was a med. chart print out so i can make sure all my times are covered. Updated on 2 Jun 2013: So upset I'm down to my final day before my surgery and I think I have staph infection.

Updated on 3 Jul 2013: Updated on 7 Jul 2013: I'm healing just wish it would go faster so I could wear normal clothes :( my boobs still look deformed bc the implants are still very high Updated on 10 Jul 2013: I have this shooting pain in my right breast. It goes under my armpit to my nipple. If I move the Wong way it's a pounding pain. But it looks fine no redness it didnt start till my implants started droping lower. Anyone else had this problem??
