I'm a very petite girl and could not even fill out a 32 AA bra nor my XXS-XS tops. Being that I had nothing to work with I had expected that my breasts are going to look incredibly fake. I didn't want boobs to have BOOBS.. I simply wanted to be able to fill out my tops and be proportioned to my body. To help them look less fake I went with silicone implants under the muscle with the incision underneath my breasts. Dr. Teague is truly an artist. My breasts don't look fake AT ALL. The only people who can tell they are not natural are either because they knew me pre-implants or because they look "too perfect to be real." When I was trying on implants determining which size I wanted I liked how 125cc looked, and if you go under the muscle (which I did) you are to go up a size. So I got 150cc- making me a full B, small C. Like I said, I am very petite and was about 16% body fat. A skin stretcher was required to get the implants in. To tell you how great of a surgeon Dr. Teague truly is and to provide proof that he genuinely cares about his work and cares about making you look your best and that isn't just going to do something to get the job done-I'll tell you what he did for me. In the first breast he inserted an implant and said that they were too wide for my frame, so instead of leaving it and inserting the other one, he removed the implant and placed a more narrow one that he was happy with how it looked and then inserted the other. Most surgeons would have just left the initial implant in and went on with their day. I did not have to buy any new clothes- I just finally fit in my XXS-XS tops like they were meant to be worn. He has the hands of Michelangelo. This is the only man I would ever trust 100% in doing any type of work on me for life in the future. He also did my sister's breasts twice and both times they came out flawless as well. My cousin went to his partner Greenburg (?) for her breast implants and he is the other surgeon I would trust to work on me if Teague wasn't available.
Just had it done. Caught a glimpse of them afterward and don't plan on looking too hard at them for a while. Kinda freaked me out to go from a D to an A in seconds but you know the best thing about doing it is when I got home I was able to give my husband and kids the biggest hug I have ever given them and I didn't have rock hard implants in the way. I had grade 3 and grade 4 capsule contraction(sp) and had no clue. They were somewhat painful at times and I was just over them. Hoping I like the results after a month. Will keep you posted. Thanks to all the others who posted their results. I felt prepared when I went in as to what was going to happen and how they were going to look.
I just registered as a user, so I'm going through and posting on doctors, even though its been many years. I had a Breast Augmentation with Dr. Teague in 2002 and have been nothing but pleased with the results. Its been 12 years and one pregnancy/breastfeeding and am still so thankful I had him as my doctor. I'm a dancer (so lots of people have seen me topless!), and there are lots of people who aren't sure they are real or not..more since pregnancy dropped them a touch, but still. Have always look great, feel very soft and natural (under muscle, 390cc's). I have some ripples on sides where I don't have enough muscle or tissue to cover, but that is only when I bend over, and it happens with saline. If I have to do it all over again, I'd make the trip to Baton Rouge and see him again. I'd do saline again as well, just because my results have been good with them. He had a great bedside manner and nice staff. Highly recommend!
I admit I was very nervous at first but Dr. Michael Teague did my procedure and he was AMAZING. And he staff was too. I loved his nurse Melissa, who made me feel so comfortable, and Dr. Teague did a wonderful job and was so nice and truly cares about his work. I would recommend him to anyone. I am 110% satisfied!!!!!
Hello fellow Augmenters! So excited here, but what woman isn't on here? A teensy bit about me. I am 28 year old mother of two 5'3" and 112 lbs, breastfed my youngest for 6 months. I can fit my empty sacks into an A cup these days... yes pregnancy/ breastfeeding took it's toll (what we give for our babies). Unfortunately I've been this size for nearly all my life. When I was younger my twin sis and I would stuff balloons in our shirts and pretend we had boobs. My mother and older sister definitely has a decent pair. However when puberty hit my twin and I, we slowly began to realize that our "mosquito bites" would never mature into the racks all our friends and girls in our classes were getting. I was devastated... Then came my first pregnancy, I thought surely now I'd grow something! Alas my stomach grew and I gained weight, my breasts stayed the same, except maybe I fully filled an A cup now.
Being a Dr. myself I hate to say such strong opinions about another Dr., but Dr. Teague has ruined my life. 5 yrs ago I saw him for a lower blepharoplasty to correct a tear trough deformity. Dr. Teague made this seem like such an easy procedure and never explained to me the negative risks involved. I blame myself for going to see him in the first place, but the truth is that Dr. Teague is very inexperienced in this type of procedure and should have referred me to an oculoplastic surgeon instead of taking this on himself. An important part of being a good doctor is knowing when to refer. If he had simply referred me to a specialist, he could have saved me all the hurt, anger, regret, and guilt that I haven't been able to let go of. I am still searching for someone who can correct his mistake. Please go somewhere else and save yourself the sadness of making a mistake you cannot take back.
Pros: I can actually fit into my clothes properly, and have more self confidence. Why I did it: I have always been a small breasted person, but I got serious into weight training and I dropped my body fat percentage to 15.2 and basically lost what little I had. I basically got it done so I could wear cute clothes and swimsuits. It has been a little over two weeks since my breast augmentation and I am having some concerns with the look of my breasts. One concern I have is that one of my breasts is not only significantly larger in size than the other, but i also noticed when doing my massages that it is also much stiffer. The one breast is getting softer and softer every day and the other is still pretty firm. How long does normal swelling last, and could that be the reason for my breast to be firm? Secondly, that same breast, the larger one, is actually sitting slightly lower that the other one. Wouldn't the one that is healing quicker be "dropping" before the other?? I did notice in the mirror that my incision is also slightly higher on my breast..sitting a tad higher than the crease. Could that be a sign of my implant "bottoming out" or is it still too early to be worrying about all of this? I'm 5'3", 105lbs, was a 32AA and I got 325CC silicone implants under the muscle, which put me at about a full B/small C cup. Lastly, i am a long distance runner and serious weight trainer. How long should i wait until running? And how long until weight training..is it okay to do lower body?
I am 5'6 200lbs. I'm a mother of a set of identical twin boys who are nine,seven and three year old daughters and a eight month old son. Is it safe to say I'm Super Mommy? I have never weighed this much before so recently I have started a high protein diet to lose this post pregnancy weight. I have lost 12lbs so far (188). I have decided to have a tummy tuck, muscle repair,midsection liposuction and back flank liposuction.Did anyone lose weight right before tummy tuck are did anyone doctor advise them to lose any weight before surgery? My doctor said it was no reason to lose weight, I just wanted to because my shirts are getting snug and I refuse to purchase a larger size. I'm so ready, to be able to purchase a medium shirt , wear a two piece bathing suit and walk around the house naked without covering up. One day very soon this will happen. After tummy tuck did anyone see weight lost are go down shirt sizes? I'm so excited to get to know you all and read about your journeys. This community, is my motivation if you all recommend anything for me to purchase before my big day are and advise I'm open just nervous but excited. I love everything else about my body. My breast, butt and hips makes me smile. But this stomach has to go. BYE BYE mid section, Hello flat side!!!! Updated on 11 Feb 2015: Updated on 24 Feb 2015: My pre-op appointment is in two days. Yay, excited!! I have to finish paying for my surgery. Also I need to pick up items to cook and store for my family why I'm down so they can have home cooked meals. I haven't started getting items for surgery. Everyone who has had a tt what all do I need to purchase to have at home after surgery? What is the best compression garment to buy etc? Updated on 24 Feb 2015: Two more weeks until I join the flat side. Updated on 28 Feb 2015: So Thursday 02/25/2015 was my pre-op appointment. They normally doesn't have pre-op appointments on Thursday but since I missed last Wednesday 02/18/15 because of a mandatory conference at work. The scheduler Karen was very nice and Dr. Teague's nurse Melissa was great she came in early at 9am to see me and her work hours didn't start until 11am. So we sat she answered all of my questions to the best of her ability. She has a special made book for me and when I say book it was a personalized book that was made especially for me with my name on every page. This book has 22 pages of helpful information regarding the surgery this is how the table of contents is section out title page, table of contents, preparing for surgery, medications to avoid, going to our operating room, general surgical risks, specific surgical risks, anesthesia and other information, other risks, consent for surgery, medications, postoperative care-outpatient surgery, specific post operative instructions, longer term postoperative instructions, as we heal, specific as you heal information, cooperation and avoidance of conflict and financial policies and more this book was well made up and very professional and helpful especially for a patient with a million and one questions. I was started on a vitamin regiment vitamin C and vitamin E twice daily. I paid the remainder balance of my surgery the nurse explained the total cost of everything. I also was given a discount for being a nurse professional courtesy. Who knew? Which a portion of the seven thousand went to the surgeon, anesthesiologist and facility it was broken down to help you understand where it was going to. Melissa, explained to me how on Friday the week before surgery I needed to call and get my surgery time. My surgeon only take a couple of surgeries a day so he can spend as much time as he needs for each case this made my day because I want my surgeon to give me all the attention that I might need so I can have the best results. Melissa, also let me look in the post surgery books that they have of the before and after pictures of other patients and they all were great it just put the icing on the cake. I am rather excited for my upcoming tummy tuck, muscle repair and liposuction of the flanks and stomach and back fat. Updated on 5 Mar 2015: Today my doctor called and rescheduled my surgery day from Wednesday 03/11/15 to Tuesday 03/10/15. Five days until my mommy makeover excited and scared, nervous all type of emotions are running through my body. The count down begin. Say a little prayer for me. Updated on 11 Mar 2015: Yesterday, was my surgery I went to the office at 9 am my surgery was at 10. When I walked in the door I met the surgery nurse Lindsey, she was very friendly made me feel very comfortable I had to leave a urine sample. Then she walked me to the operating room where Dr. Teague came and marked my body showing what skin he was removing and where he was going to liposuction. Then the CRNA came in the room talked to me about the anasthesia he was so handsome so that was helpful. Another RN named Ronnie stayed by my side the whole time through surgery. I was so excited about the surgery... That Lindsey said I was going to be a excellent patient because I was so happy she was giving me high fives and everything they just made me feel so great! Updated on 31 Mar 2015: Three weeks in, I'm sorry I have been M.I.A. Back at work I have to get use to all of that moving around. Recovery went well, I think I have a high tolerance for pain.
