36 YR Old Mama of 3 Finally Had My Breast Reduction

My story is similar to a lot of other ladies on here. I developed on the later side, but still had big boobies and was wearing a D cup by high school and as I was only about 5 ft and 105 lbs at the time, they were way too big for my frame. I have 3 children and breast fed all 3 of them. The oldest burster for 7 months, the middle for 17, and the youngest for 25. So, altogether, for about 49 months. My boobs grew with each baby, but never went back down in size, they just

Highly recommend for breast reduction

I had a breast reduction in November 2017. Dr. Rivela and his staff were very kind, caring, and professional. They helped me understand my insurance and payment options. They have always been able to accommodate appointments, even if they are last minute. The level of health care I received was top notch. The procedure was exactly as explained and I got the results I was hoping for.

Excellent Dr. & staff!

From the time I scheduled my first appointment, to surgery to the post op visits, my overall experience with Dr. Rivela and his staff were EXCELLENT. I studied, researched and read reviews about numerous plastic surgeons in Houston, prior to scheduling an appointment for breast augmentation and found that Dr. Rivela was the best choice personally for me. His credentials alone are outstanding and his reviews were all excellent. Dr. Rivela is, in my opinion, the BEST plastic surgeon

Love my new body!

“ I absolutely love my results. Dr. Rivela did fabulous work on me :) He listened to what I wanted. He was straight forward with me and informed me of what was to come. I had a tummy tuck and lipo. I love my new belly button and tiny waste line. Once I saw my before and after pictures I was blown away. Dr. Rivela and his staff were wonderful to me. Very professional, kind, understanding. I have referred him to several friends. Thank you Dr. Rivela for the new me! ”

Lift with Implants - The Woodlands, TX

I was always a d/dd cup until losing 33 lbs. I ended up being a deflated c cup. I also breastfed all 3 of my kids. I wanted to go back to a d/dd. I went with natrelle 450cc silicone gel implants. All of my girlfriends who currently have implants said to go big because I will regret it if I don't. My ps agreed that 450cc would be great, and that would be my max. I am 35 yo, I weigh 134 lbs.

36 Years Old, Mother of 4. The Woodlands, TX

Ok so I actually had my reduction done about 8am this morning. I had read so many times that the pain wasn't that bad at all. Boy was I in for a rude awakening. I woke up from my surgery crying because of the pain I was in. Not only was it pain but burning also. They fnally got it under control. I find it hard and painful to use the bathroom and to get up by myself. Also having a hard time feeling nauseous, which stinks because before I can take my pain meds I have to eat something

Mini Mommy Makeover - The Woodlands, TX

I just had my 3 week post surgery apt yesterday and I SOOOO happy with my results. I had a mini-mommy-makeover, with breast redux and lipo. All I can say is that I am TWENTY again up top!! The lipo looks great so far (painful but worth it) and I've lost another 8-10 lbs since surgery. I have another month or so before I get the full effect but so far am down a size and "old shopping"!! Wearing clothes I haven't worn in years. :) I chose Rivela because the office was so calming

Tomorrow I am having removal of 400cc breast implants and a breast lift (11 years ago). Tummy tuck scar revision from bad healing (11 years ago), and liposuction to my waist to give me more shape. I'm very boxy at the moment. I want a waist again! Will post again after procedure. Here are photos taken today (before procedure) Updated on 2 Jun 2015: Lots of bruising. Boobs look a funny shape. Dr Rivela told me to expect all this yesterday, so I was not too surprised today at
