Michael Hueneke, MD (retired)

Hello everyone! Where do I start? I've been apart of the ibtc for a long time now and I think it's time to move on! I've been insecure with my breasts for as long as I can remember. I was teased when I was younger and I just had the feeling that I knew that they would never grow. Which they never did! At 25 years old, I'm still an A cup but I've grown to appreciate them. I'm more comfortable with my body and I've grown to love my small boobs. However, I think I'm ready to get breast implants for myself and only myself. I always knew I would get them and now that I'm financially ready, it's time. I booked my appointment with Dr. Hueneke in Nashville, TN and I couldn't be more thrilled! He made me feel extremely comfortable and answered all of my questions. He was very honest with what is possible for me and didn't treat me like a paycheck. I'm booked for February 23rd and I can't wait to take ou on the journey with me! I've attached some of my wish pictures of what I'm hoping for.

I forgot to add some pictures of what I look like now. I’m an A cup and I hardly have any breast tissue. Oh, and I don’t have any kids. My BWD is 12 so I have a smaller frame that can only fit so wide of an implant. I know for sure that I’m going under the muscle. I always had in my head that I would get moderate profile but my surgeon suggested high profile because my frame is smaller. My biggest concern with getting HP is that it will look like round balls sitting on my chest. That is my BIGGEST fear. I’m wanting a more natural look that looks proportional to the rest of my body. I do want a small space between the implants with a little side boobs, which is reflected in my wish pics. However, my surgeon said that I couldn’t fit a moderate profile on my frame and get the desired size that I want. Which is a big C or small D. I know cc’s don’t really go by cup size but that’s what I’m hoping to end up with. Can high profile look natural? He’s thinking of bringing a couple different sized implants to surgery.. 325, 350, 375 and 400. My right breast is about 25cc bigger than my left so I’ll be getting different implant sizes. I don’t want to go too big and end up being too heavy. Advice?
I trust my surgeon and I’m going to talk to him more about making sure that HP will still give me the desired look I want at my pre-op. So as of now, I’m getting anywhere from 325-400cc mentor smooth round silicone under the muscle.

So I’ve started buying things to get ready for my recovery. I know I need to pick up some bio oil and stool softeners. Is there anything else that I need? I attached some of the things I ordered from Amazon and it should be here in a week!

Had my pre op today! We tried sizers on again and I’m pretty sure he’s going to do 375 in my right breast and 400 in my left. I love the size but I’m hoping that I don’t think they’re too big later on. I did try on 350 and I thought they were a tad too small. At the moment, I’m pretty confident with my decision and I’ve always heard about girls wishing they went bigger so I want to make sure I don’t have boob greed! We discussed the day of surgery and my recovery. I have to be at the hospital at 6:00am and my surgery is at 7:30am. I paid the rest of my balance in full so all I have to do is wait!! I’m so excited!!
Does anyone get a little sentimental about their little boobs when surgery day gets closer and closer? I’m ready for my new boobs but I’m still thankful for the ones that have been with me up until now.

Hey guys! Yesterday was surgery day!! I went to sleep with no problem and the anesthesiologist was super nice. I woke up with a lot of pressure on my chest. Everything felt super tight. The pain was bearable. Better than I thought it would be. My back hurts from laying against my wedge pillow for so long. I’ve tried getting up and walking around. I’m so glad that everything went smooth. The doctor ended up putting 400 in my left breast and 375 in my right. I love them so far!! I’m currently on day 2 and I woke up with some morning boob but that’s it! Hopefully I can minimize they pain killers and only use them when I need them.

So far I haven’t had much pain with my breasts other than morning boob and getting in and out of bed. My boyfriend has helped me for the most part but I’ve been able to do more on my own today. I’ve been icing them when I wake up and rubbing arnica lotion on them to help with the swelling. I would say that my biggest pain is actually my neck and back from sleeping in a elevated position consistently. I try to get up and move round as much as possible and my appetite has been normal. I haven’t had any sharp pains.. just stiffness. They are still completely numb and my incisions are still scary looking. I took a shower for the first time today but still no bowel movement. I’ve been taking stool softeners every day but I’m thinking I might need to get a laxative to help me go. The pain isn’t as bad as I thought it would be but I still have a lot of healing to do. I’ve tried to only take a pain killer at bedtime.

Hey guys. So I was sleeping last night and I guess I had woken up and adjusted my pillow with my left arm and it felt like my left implant bulged. I don’t know how else to describe it but its on the inside/bottom of my left one. It very sore to the touch. Did I pull a muscle? Should I be concerned?

Updated on 2 Mar 2021:
Had my post op today and the PS said everything looked great. I was concerned that I pulled a muscle but he said everything should be fine and to keep some ice on it and rest. My right side, the smaller implant, is dropping faster than my left side. My right side is more rounded and my left, the bigger implant, is still more of shaped. I know it’s only one week but I hope they get back to being symmetrical. My PS also said something that shocked me.. he told me to not massage my implants! He said it changed the shape of the pocket that the implants are in and that’s not always a good thing. Opinions? I’m also paying an extra $300 for the protection plan mentor implants provides now. It case of capsule contracture or a nothing problem, I will receive free implants and up to $3,500 towards my surgery will be covered. My doctor recommended the high profile for my size but I’m still worried that they will look super fake :( but I sometimes see girls on here with high profile that I like! Hopefully mine will turn out that way.

My whole body is itchy. I’m developing a red rash with raised little bumps around the lining around my surgical bra is. I thought it was just irritating my skin but it’s spread to my back, wait, arms, neck, armpits.. I’ve washed my clothes and sheets and it didn’t help. I’ve ready it can be the result of medication but I haven’t taken anything since the first 7 days.. would it still be affecting me now? I didn’t itch then.. I’m going insane! Someone help!!!

I can’t believe it’s already been a month. They’re starting to really feel like they’re apart of me and I no longer have any pain. The only time they bother me is when I really exert myself at work. I’m a bartender so I do a lot of reaching and grabbing bottles, plates, etc. My initial bigger breast is still bigger than my smaller breast, which he put the bigger cc implant in. So far it hasn’t really caught up and I hope it just is sitting a little higher and tighter because I had less breast tissue on that one. Other than that, I think they are so beautiful and I can only imagine how they will look over time. They already look great in clothes and I can’t wait to order swimsuits!! Just ready for my left one to fluff out a bit more and hopefully even out. Oh and my nipples are so sensitive!!! It feels like needles poking them even when fabric rubs them a certain way. I’ve been rubbing bio-oil on them twice a day and wearing my compression bra constantly.

They re getting softer and softer every day. Love them already and it hasn’t even been 2 months! My scars are still red so I’m trying to stay on top of my silicone scar gel

Quick little pic! Will try to upload video later and a scar update.

When I decided to get my procedure, I checked reviews, comparison shopped, and fortunately found Dr. Hueneke. He listened closely to my goals, gave me the best information and options, and was completely attentive to my needs and responsive at all times. The results were spectacular! I had hoped for a good result, and what I got was a great result. I highly recommend Dr. Hueneke for his expertise, experience, and his ability to truly understand his clients’ desired outcomes.

After having several consultations done I decided to go with Dr. Hueneke for my procedure. He is extremely thorough and completely explains the procedure and your options. I never felt rushed during the consultation, he is not at all pushy, and is very easy going. He has great bedside manner and a great sense of humor! I had liposuction done on three different areas. I am more than happy with my results! I definitely felt well taken care of after surgery with multiple follow ups to make sure I was 100% happy. I have previously worked in a surgeon's clinic with multiple doctors and I have to say, the way Dr. Hueneke runs his office is TOP notch!!

Still so thrilled with my out come!!! Find a great dr and make sure you’re ready for a wait but I’m telling you BEST Decision EVER!!! Can’t wait to see all of you reach your goals !!! Good luck and much love
My procedure was in 2013

My experience with Dr. Hueneke in the spring of 2018 was fantastic from start to my final follow up appointment. I went in for implant exchange and breast lift. My first consultation he spent almost 90 min with me discussing past surgeries and realistic expectations for future work. We reviewed many of his before and after photos so I could get a sense of his work and what is possible with my situation. He was very honest, compassionate, funny and focused on challenge in front of him. I am thrilled with my results!!! This was my 3rd implant exchange and 1st lift. In past surgeries I have been disappointed because the outcome was far from what was discussed in the consult. Dr Hueneke is an artist! He should have a huge ego but he doesn't. Dr. Hueneke was a total professional who felt like family by the time I was released as his patient. I do not have any other plans for plastic surgery currently but in the future if I do he will be my choice.

My experience with Dr. Hueneke and Nurse Diane was amazing start to finish. From first consult to last consult they took time to answer all my questions, explain the procedures, possible complications, how to avoid them, after care procedures and showed me before and afters. I felt comfortable right away and knew he was the right choice. He performed breast augmentation, tummy tuck and hernia repair. He called to check on me after surgery. He came in the day after Thanksgiving to remove my drain when the office was closed. As a twin mom, I am ecstatic with my results. I could not be happier with my decision and my results.

I am still completely satisfied with results after 12 months. My scar is fading. I am still numb in a small triangle between belly button and 2" area of scar but still improving with time. Functionally I am completely back to normal although I do less chest workout/lifting that pre surgery mostly because it feels odd. I am so happy with my look and confident again in a bikini!

Went in flat chested, came out with beautiful symmetrical breasts!! Dr. Hueneke was very professional about the whole process. He described what I wanted before I even had to say a word. I feel like we got a great deal on the price as well for how well everything turned out. We drove hours for each visit, however those long drives were worth it. He took his time, and made me his top priority while he met with me. The results are beautiful. I can't wait to get my tan on and show them off in a bikini!!

This was my 1st surgery ever ( ski removal from abdomen) and my experience was superb! Dr Heneke and his nurse Diana wee awesome along with the other office staff. They are compassionate and always there when you need them. From the office to the OR, I was at ease and everything I experienced was pleasant. I am only 8 days post op and feeling great. Thank you Dr Heneke and staff for everything. You guys are awesome!!

I had nursed 3 babies and was left with empty saggy skin. I hated it. I was referred to Dr. Hueneke by a friend. Best choice in plastics in Tennessee!!! He was kind and professional. I was never pressured to go outside my comfort zone and everything he did he explained why. He answered all my questions no matter how silly I thought they were and my care and comfort were his top priority! I've told other friends to go to him and they were just as impressed.

I have been uncomfortable with the way my profile looks in pictures for as long as I remember.
Dr. Hueneke was super honest and provided options to achieve the look i wanted. I am very happy with the overall shape of my nose. It still has the character of my old nose, minus the large hump. I am pleasantly surprised that no one even noticed I had the surgery and the recovery time was much less than I expected.
