Nilton Medina, MD

I had my first breast augmentation in 2023 and wasn't happy with the size of 240 cc medium profile. I wanted to pursue something more dramatic so I switched surgeons and went with a 450 cc high profile implant. The second surgery was done by Dr. Medina from Surgicare Arts. For reference I am 5'2 and fluctuate from 100-110 lbs.

I’m 30 years old, mom of 3 beautiful kids, l found my doctor by a friend l saw her results and l just loved so l had an appointment with him his name is Dr.Nilton Medina .l loved him he is so kind and professional and his price was in my budget .l wish this for years and now it is my time.My surgery was June 21th l had tummy tuck with muscle repair,lipo to the flanks and breast lifting with implants. I am impressed with my results was beyond that l imagine. Finally l can wear whatever l want.

I am so surprise that l did not fill much pain, l felt a pressure on my breast was like someone were huge me so tight, and l had to walked like an old man curved that hurted a lot my back.
The first week it is hard, after that you will fill way much better, on the third week after my surgery l can finally walk straight and feel better and started see the results, a lot swollen it will happen but it is totally normal. My doctor says after 6 months the swollen it goes away.
It was best thing l did to me, l am filling amazing and so confident with my self, and my husband is amazed with the results too, he was so supportive,love him more and to make my dream came true.

My surgery was yesterday 8/9/17 at 7:30a. The surgery was success but I woke up with pain. The nurse gave me pain medication and felt much better. It's been difficult getting in and out of bed, standing and walking. I need two people to help me stand. I was kept overnight observation. My pain is under control. Now I scared of getting discharged and not having all this assistance.

It has been difficult to sleep and rest because I am in the hospital and the nurses come often. I have more discomfort today with the incisions and need my pain meds. I am getting ready to go home. I have two drains in and I am getting to be injection myself at home to avoid blood clots. Please excuse any misspelled words or punctuation errors. I am very drowsy and medicated. Standing and walking is very hard. I need two people to help me stand and walk. Using the bathroom is no walk in the park either. Mobility is limited but the pain is more manageable than expected.

Standing and walking to the bathroom it is still challenging. Using the toilet is hard. I've tried using p style and that failed me. It caused me more trouble and clean up. I now use a toilet raiser and try to avoid getting the stitches wet which is impossible. I utilize a cane to stand from the zero gravity chair, once standing I use a walker to walk. I also use a toilet aid to help reach those body parts that my be difficult to reach due to tightness and burning. I find Clorox, baby and face wipes extremely helpful during this healing time.

The prescriptions that I am currently talking are: Oxycodone (pain), Ondansetron (nausea), stool softener and Enoxaparin sodium injections (prevent blood clots). I must inject myself daily on the stomach for the next 14 days. I also use cotton rounds, gloves, hand sanitizer, itch cream and alcohol.

The other items I am finding helpful are a neck pillow to sleep while sitting on the zero gravity chair, the tray which make with the chair. It two cup holders and slots for a cell, pens, book or power bank. A medical table to eat, read, etc and a regular pillow to place under my knees for comfort. Mesh underwear, maxi pads to protect the incisions and a fanny pack for my drains.

I spent money preparing for this tl but I am glad I did. I was never instructed to get any assistance devices but learned what I may need by reading other's reviews.

I hope this helps and apologize for anything grammatical errors. The oxycodone makes me drowsy and I am fighting sleep as I write this.

I removed my dressing and this is the first time I see my sutures. What do you guys think? I don't have pain. I do feel burning around the drains opening. I am ready for those to come out.

I had a very difficult time with constipation last week and needed an Enema. I had 13 days without going to the bathroom. I was feeling much better until Sunday morning when I saw incision separation on the left thigh. It was small but yesterday when I looked it was bigger. The nurse said separation is expected 100% of the time and not to worry as my the color of the tissue indicated that I am healing fine. She instructed me to cover it with a non-adherent pad until it looks better. I must see the surgeon in two weeks for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17. He is super popular and seeing him is often difficult. I just hope to not have anymore setbacks. I am currently afraid move around and have this happen in other areas. I need to start seeing the light!!!!!!! ????

Yesterday was my 4th week post op and I am feeling much better. I am trying to stay positive but it is difficult seeing that I have yet two more incision separations. I will say that the first one seems to be getting better but the two new ones are quite raw. I feel lots of pressure in between my thighs but no pain. I still take Tylenol at night because in the middle of the night I do feel swollen and get aches in the incisions. I am walking more but still don't feel confident getting into and out of my Jeep since I find it high. I am considering asking the doctor if I could return to work a week early since I feel able to. I much rather use a week on a fun vacation on a tropical island than being at home bored out of my mind. I have an appointment this Monday and I will be meeting with my Plastic surgeon for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17.

It has been one long recovery but so far it has been worth it. I fit into pants thatI never would have fit into before. I returned to work three days ago and I feel great. Today is raining and I feel swollen and sore like never before. I started using a scar cream and I hope it really helps. I am scared to start the gym as I feel so much tightness from the incisions. I guess I can try next week.
I am going up stairs without difficulty and walking better. I am very happy because I am feeling bit more like myself with every passing day.

My sister , husband and mother was always encourage me to do it, and i was refused, and tree month ago i decided to do that . I did know if i like yet , my doctor said that every thing is perfect, my mother and husband like as well, i am wait for the final result. For me one side is bigger than other , but i hope they got more close and even.

Without pictures it is better, pictures made things worse than when u see , the good news that the pain is 95% gone and I back to pilates class ????????. And every day I fell better and I am sure that was a right choice the revision, bc b4 that revision I was in pain all the time and thought that was normal and now I fell much better and almost the time pain free. Not perfect and for be honest I wish the doctor did a internal bra in both breast , the one that he did internal bra is better than other , I told him to do in both but he did not, I think the other need to be done , but I will not going to do every thing again!!! I have 3 months appointment next week !!

I had panny with muscles repair , my insurance cover for the panni but I paid extra for the muscle repair,pain was not bad
But I don't feel good with my results. A lot extra skin hanging. The Dr said he can't make me revision. Not agree.I don't have any complication, 4 month later still swollen

I'm hoping to feel the same comfort and confidence I was once experienced. I have not had my procedure as of yet. Im hoping to get more insight from other on what they have experienced in terms of results, recovering, and pain. My surgery date is July 28, 2015 with Dr. Nilton Medina from Boston Medical
