I always had large, somewhat asymetrical breasts, but by the time I reached my 50s gravity and excess sagging skin had me in a 34 F, with one cup fitted with an insert to bring the full-cup-smaller breast into balance. The surgery and recovery went well (and no drains!). I went down to a 34D. Ten years later, in spite of having skin with poor elasticity and an illness-related weight loss of 20 lbs that dropped me down to <15% BMI (and subsequently regaining 15 pounds, I’m at a 32DD with nipples in the same position as they were the year of the surgery and only a slight loss of fullness on top. I paid out of pocket, and it was worth every cent.
22 years ago I had my breast reduction surgery done by Dr Paul Izenberg. I have gotten MANY compliments from my surgery from others within the medical field and the work he has done. I myself was more than ecstatic about the work that was done. Obviously now I am older (22 years older lol) I still to this day toss his name out when I hear anyone say they look for a surgeon for these purposes. He is the best at what he does. And his personality is the cherry on the cake!! Great doctor to have.
After a few consultations with dr's in the area, I was convinced augmentation wasn't for me. I met with Dr Izenberg and his staff and they immediately understood what I was looking for. My initial consultation was 2 hours. The nurses were helpful, Dr Izenberg was funny and very accommodating. I completely trusted his professional opinion and my augmentation turned out perfectly. The recovery was easy, the follow up appointments have all gone great. He has a top-class office and support team behind him.
I couldn't have been happier with his work!!! Excellent bedside manner, very kind and personable! The office staff is pleasant and I appreciated the surgery being done in the office OR suite. All around a great experience and so thankful for his work!
When the question was posed to me by my younger sister, "How many doctors will it take to agree with you that a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy is the way to go?" I answered "Three". I was the patient who reluctantly agreed to genetic testing at the urging of my gynecologist-kicking and screaming, actually. I was a 57-year old female with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer...yet I was the picture of health and I didn't want my quality of life compromised in any way by the "preventative drug" he wanted to prescribe for me. I trusted him for decades....but this was a different story. The LEAST I could do was talk to a breast specialist and have the genetic testing was his advice. When the test results confirmed a genetic mutation that put me at a high risk for breast cancer, I knew I had some tough decisions to make. I consulted with not three but NINE surgeons.....I wanted to weigh EVERY option I had. I met with teams of doctors that would walk me through every step of a mastectomy and reconstruction....I researched the gene mutation ad nauseam. I wanted to be the informed, knowledgeable patient! It was my gynecologist who had initially mentioned Dr. Izenberg's name, and I decided that he would be the LAST plastic surgeon I would consult with.....it was my way of saying TAKE THAT!! When my husband accompanied me to the initial meeting with Dr. Izenberg, we were very impressed with the caring staff. I believe it is so important that the people you first come in contact with make a good first impression-caring, compassionate and happy to be doing what they are doing. The staff at the Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is 5-Star! We found Dr. Izenberg to be exceptional, and I had 3 other plastic surgeons to compare him to! He listened patiently to my concerns and answered all of my questions, as well as my husbands. He told my husband that this surgery would be " a bump in the road" for me....and that's exactly what it was. I had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate tissue expanders....and nipple sparing, which I was so pleased about. Just shy of three months later, I had the out-patient procedure for replacement of tissue expanders with permanent silicone implants. I am so pleased with the outcome. I feel whole and without the constant lingering fear of breast cancer-I have a new lease on life. My research and prayerful mindset led me to make the right decision and I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Izenberg
I had lost approximately 30 lbs over the last year which was wonderful, but found the loss of volume in my face caused loose skin and sagging, along with the natural progression of aging. I met with Dr Izenberg in the fall of 2014, and had to think about the procedure for a full year, before meeting with him again in October 2015, and decided to schedule a facelift with fat grafting. I have been totally pleased with the outcome, it is less than 2 weeks, and I am feeling great. I had very little bruising, only stayed home for a week, and feel so much better about how I look! Dr Izenberg listens, he considers what the client desires, and adds his expertise for a great outcome!
At 62, I noticed in photos that my face was starting to sag. My upper eyelids, jawline, neck and nasolabial folds were particularly droopy. I'd never had surgery of any kind and was concerned about having a procedure and of looking too "done" or different after. Dr. Izenberg took some photos and was very patient and honest in discussing what he could do to make me happier with my appearance. We agreed that he would lift the lower part of my face and my upper eyelids. The surgery took place in one day. I didn't feel a thing and had absolutely no pain in the following days as I recovered. There was swelling and some discomfort but by day three I was able to leave the house for short walks. After two weeks my husband and family said I looked great and after a month, I was thrilled to see how much wider my eyes looked and how much happier I seemed in profile. At that point I looked totally healed with only a little numbness in my cheeks which has since gone away. Dr. Izenberg followed up with me throughout the healing, making sure I was feeling good and answering any questions I had. His staff are also wonderful and helpful. Now two months have passed and my friends who didn't know about the surgery have no idea I'vehad anything done because I still look like me. I couldn't be happier with Dr Izenberg both as a skilled surgeon and a caring, concerned and conscientious doctor.
I had a breast aug recently. I went from a small B to a large D cup. I had 350cc put in under the muscle. It was silicon gel, and my incisions were on the underside of my breasts.
I started with C's when I was about 14 now after having 3 kids I am a 36G. I've been to physical therapy the chiropractor been on pain meds you know the works Well 2 years ago my doctor suggested a BR but back then I was to scared idk what happened but one day I woke up in pain as usual and decided enough is enough I talked to my doctor (a new one) and she said I didn't look big at all huh? 36G and not big? I thought she was crazy after fussing with her for about a half hour she decided she'd let the PS make the final call so I made an appointment for a consult and here I am my pre-op is march 7th and surgery is march 27th. I am nervous and excited all at the same time I even wake up grabbing my chest (bad dreams) lol but I'm sure it will be worth it :-) Updated on 7 Mar 2012: Today I had my pre-op to my surprise I had a little bit of a panic attack I'm not sure why because I had been excited all day to go but when I was their my heart was racing and I kept tearing however as soon as they called my name all was well. My PS staff was awesome and very helpful with answering all my questions and when I spoke to my PS he assured me he was very confident that I would do great and look great in the end as well I walked out of there with a smile on my face feeling great! Heres to a set of full perky C's come the 27th :-) Updated on 13 Mar 2012: I have 14 days left to go before my surgery and I find my self getting really stressed out I guess the closer I get the more real it becomes. I'm so worried I will forget something at the day of the surgery like telling him that my right breast is a little larger he wants me to remind him and now I worry I will forget and have noticeably lop sided boobs lol. I also went out on the 10th to celebrate my 30th birthday and fell and sprained my ankle the gave me tylonal 3 hoping that wont affect anything I only took one pill tho I also noticed I seem to be exhausted but I believe that is due to being so excited that I cant sleep at night I stay up thinking about my surgery lol so I pay for it the next day. I think I'm going to wash all my clothes and get my day of bag ready to go :-) Oh also my mother did the coolest thing for my birthday she went to victoria secrets and got me a bra and panty set to remind me when I'm stressing or freaking out what its all about and how soon enough I can wear the pretty bras again lol I loved it :-) Updated on 17 Mar 2012: I'm 10 days out and boy am I a big ball of emotions I find my self getting a little depressed but I'm so excited I don't understand why I am feeling like this. I've also noticed that I'm now terrified of getting sick because I don't want my surgery delayed at work I try to keep my distance from everyone I wish I could wear a mask but I work at a grocery and wouldn't want to alarm the shoppers. I keep telling my self all day time to sanitize lol we have a big bottle of hand sanitizer and it has become my best friend :-) I never thought that this surgery would have me obsessing over things but its been such an up hill battle and now that everything is set in stone and I'm on the path to a healthier happier less stress and pain free me I'm worried something will go wrong. Can it be the 27th already?? LOL well I guess I'll have to wait a few more days Updated on 19 Mar 2012: So last night I showed my husband the bra and panty set my mother bought me from V.S. and he looked so sad like they where going to be too small I hope he still loves them when this is all said and done I am so worried he will not be as attracted to me as he is now :-( I know there was no intent by him for me to feel this way as soon as he seen my face he smiled and said they will be just fine. He is such a great guy and I know he loves me I just hope he still loves my outer shell as well when I have smaller breast. S.N. I have 8 more days I feel like it's the calm before the storm I'm so relaxed and comfortable with the fact of surgery lol Now heres hoping I don't have a panic attack the day of ;-) Updated on 22 Mar 2012: Well ladies I have 5 days left and 2 out of my 3 children have the runny noses and cough ugh I hope I don't get sick I can't hug them or give them kissies right now and I hate it because I know that after my surgery I cant hug them for a few days as well I am the one they want when they are sick :-( I feel like I'm torturing them and my self right now and to top it off I'm exhausted I cannot wait to take that little nap and wake up with smaller boobies and have the fear of getting sick be over with just hope that vitimin C is working hard and I stay well until that time I only have 3 more nights at work then off and time to get ready for my happy day :-) However I am worried I am going to small 36G to a 36C any thoughts? Updated on 25 Mar 2012: Well I don't understand why but last night i kinda freaked out for a minute and was crying i had looked at some pictures of my self and that set me off I guess because that will never be me again after the 27th I've always felt like I had beautiful breast and now the thought that they may not look pretty or I might dislike them scares me. I pulled out of it fairly quickly reminding my self that I chose comfort and relief over beauty and that when it's over I will feel amazing because I wont be in pain on a daily basis. With all that being said tomorrow I go in and he will draw his map of happiness on me LOL then I go home to my last night of huge heavy breast then return in the morning hoping for the best outcome possible. I will upload pick of the drawings and let you guys know how that went as well. Updated on 26 Mar 2012: Okay today I went and the PS did my markings and put my mind to ease about my worries which was nice so today the day before my surgery I am at peace :-) I am uploading pics of my markings as well as a few pics of the wire that gave up on me today 3rd one this week lol my surgery came just in time ;-) oh also when you see the pic of the wire in front of my breast it explains why they keep popping out they're too small Updated on 28 Mar 2012: Well ladies I made it!!!!! I had a bit of complications with my heart racing for a few hours and then my face/body turning completely white weird... But I am good and at home now in my recliner just relaxing :-) I will upload some pick later tomorrow when I have a bit more energy oh one more thing I haven't taken any pain meds for about 6 hours now howe awesome is that!!! Updated on 29 Mar 2012: just wanted to upload a few pics before I go back to sleep I've been doing pretty good just really tiered my left breast is leaking a little bit but they said that might happen overall I'm very happy so far :-) Updated on 31 Mar 2012: Okay day 5 and I'm still sleepy but I have been up more today that I have all week lol. I tend to get hot and sweaty which really bothers me because it get so hot I feel sick :-( also I haven't been able to use the bathroom (constipation) so I'm not to happy with that but I can say that I am extremely happy with my breast pain is minimal as in almost not even there :-) I am a little itchy which means healing :-) yay my breast look awesome to me and so far I've lost a whopping 8lbs since the day after surgery! I only have one concern when I wake up and breath in it hurts in my chest is this a normal thing? I sleep with the fan on since I've been over heated and I hope I haven't made my self sick. Updated on 1 Apr 2012: Hi ladies just wanted to do a small update about what happened to me today. I decided since I felt so great the other day that I would g for a ride to Panera Bread and grab some dinner one I had felt pretty weak today but wanted to get out any way so the drive was not only terrible but made me sick feeling the bumps from the road made my incisions throb and where my tubes once where is now a very painful sore spot. I t was so bad that I was sweating and dry heaving it was horrible so a word of advice to everyone PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! I wish I had I was not at all ready for any type of adventure and was already weak feeling so I did this to my self :-( However I learned my lesson I will not be leaving my house again until my post op appointment. Updated on 4 Apr 2012: I had my post op appointment and after waiting an hour to see the doc the appointment went very well the doc said everything looked great and he would see me next week took all of 2 minutes lol. I'm feeling much better today than I have been still get pretty tuckered out still but I have been able to walk around the house go up and down the stairs with minimal pain I must say it's a great feeling :-) Now where my drain tubes where still get pretty painful and I have a hard time sleeping so the doc gave me valium? I've never took this before so we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping those spots heal up fairly soon because they cause me the most discomfort other than that I must say things have gone good and I'm very impressed with my results I am so glad I went thru with having my BR :-) Updated on 8 Apr 2012: Day 13 now and I've had my ups and downs I guess we can chop it up to me being impatient I want to move around like normal and not get weak and tiered but I have to realize I'm in the healing process this is hard for me lol. Today my bandaids over where my drain tubes came off and I have sores like pimples but they are raw? idk kinda weird but with the bandaid off they feel much better I would post pics but my steri strips are still n so it doesn't look any different I have another post op on tuesday and I believe my stitches come out then so I will post pics then. All in all thing have been going pretty smoothly. Oh best part of all I have been sleeping in my bed feels great to be out of the recliner :-) Updated on 10 Apr 2012: Just had my tape and stitches taken out today and I must say I am so pleased with how I look far better than I expected. Today is day 14 and every day things get better today I actually went shopping bought three bali comfort revolution bras and they are amazing also 2 new shirts that looked great on I am so pleased :-) Updated on 17 Apr 2012: Hi everyone! So today makes the three week mark and I am feeling pretty good awesome compared to haw I was last week. I seem to be healing nicely my shape is coming in and I love it I feel like they look natural and perky the scars for the most part seem to be minimal other than under the breast they are a little rough but hey you cant see those any way so who cares lol. I am however now in the scabby itchy stage and burning stage and it is not fun I can deal with the itching and the scabs coming off but the burning sensation is terrible my bras now feel like sand paper I will put oil on and 30 minutes later back to burning if anyone has any tricks to ease this stage please help. Updated on 21 Apr 2012: Well ladies today I went to the outlets mall and it was a rough start I was truly sick by the time I got there I must have had something that didn't agree well with me so after about an hour of being miserable I finally was feeling well enough to shop I mean I had a blast trying things on things on and by my surprise every top and dress I tried on fit and looked good no more uniboob! Not to mention ladies this shopping spree was on my mom she said anyone who can go thru this surgery deserves a shopping spree :-) So four shirt two amazing dresses and two pair of pants later I am a happy but tuckered out girl. Monday will be four weeks I wish I wasn't still tender but I can do things allot better than before. This has been one of the best decisions I've ever made so happy with everything :-) Will post pics tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Updated on 24 Apr 2012: Ok I am one month now and everything is going pretty good other that I've tried updating 4 time and every time this sight crashes on me lol I think it's too many pics at once. Any how I hope this review and all the pics helps others on their decision for BR such a great decision for me I couldn't be more happy. Updated on 6 May 2012: Hi ladies, Yesterday I went to victoria secrets to return the bra my mom bought me prior to surgery it was a 36D it was still too small so I had them measure me and I came to be a 36DDD which is probably more like a 36DD at most places any how I lucked out and the had one 36DDD in the store that was sent to them by mistake so I tried it on and it fit perfect I bought it of course I cannot wait to wear it I know most people would be complaining about being large still but its much better than being a 36GG so I'm happy plus they look great so no complaints here. So glad i chose to have this surgery I can't stress how much better I feel. Updated on 16 May 2012: 10 days shy from three months post op and I feel pretty great other than the sensitive nipples lol. I started back to work last sunday jumped right into a 8 1/2 hour shift of stocking shelves I thought it would be terrible but wasn't bad at all. I went online and ordered 5 shirts from victorias secret 3 of which are bra tops and I love them so comfy and cute I'll post pics a little later on in the day. Updated on 24 May 2012: LOL hi ladies with work and family things have been very busy so busy that I said three month on my last update which is incorrect. I am now 2 moths post op and I'm kinda unsure about my healing my breast still look great but I'm having a raw burning sensation on the kin of my breast and my sides under my arms still get very sore and today I noticed a lump marble size by my upper right nipple I hope this is al normal healing or maybe I'm just doing too much. otherwise things are great I feel good have my normal energy I am more than satisfied with my outcome they're not as small as I had hoped for but they fit my body and as I loose weight (which I am now down 15lbs from surgery weight) they will get smaller. hope everyone is healing well. Updated on 26 Jun 2012: Three months today and I can say I love my new breast I am so glad that I had the reduction I feel so light up top lol and my back no longer aches. I will be honest and say that I was really sick the last few months and their for haven't been on here much I think it related to being put to sleep during surgery but really I'm not sure. I have a few concerns about my breast I still have a nice amount of pain on the end of my incisions (the anchor) in the photos I am uploading will show a puffy area and a very dark scar that is where my problem are is also my breast will cramp up still I'm hoping this will end soon but for the most part the are just scared normal breast NORMAL... LOL meaning not too large doesn't cause near as much discomfort as before and I can buy bra's at victoria secrets lol 36DDD there but I can buy them and that makes me happy no more $60-$100 bras yay! As far as shape goes I love them when my scaring becomes less visible I will love them even more. My husband use to call them big [RS bleep] now he says I love your medium [RS bleep] so as much as I was concerned about how he would react I had no worries at all he loves me just the same. So on an end note for today I am a more happy and comfortable me :-) Updated on 28 Jun 2012: So I was just sitting here looking through all my before and after pics and I'm truly amazed at the difference I for one never new one breast was larger than the other until the doctor had asked me if their was so one lol made me really look and sure enough there was a larger one. so the evenness of my breast and how full and perky they are now is amazing I've noticed however I have a bad habit of buying shirts that require no bra which is weird because before you couldn't pay me to go braless outside the home. I guess when you are happy with the way your breast look makes you want to show them off a little or maybe it's just me lol. I am truly tankful for this sight and my experience it has helped me get through a very hard and painful time in reality it helped me make my decision on having my surgery seeing others results and reading their experiences gives you an insight to how it all pans out and how their is so many pros compared to cons I mean the only con for me was the scars and healing time but such a small price to pay for comfort physically and within self. The confidence that you gain afterwards is spectacular almost unbelievable how much of a change it truly makes. Anyhow I'll stop blabbering. I hope everyone is doing good and happy with their choice. Updated on 30 Jul 2012: Well it has been 4 months and on friday I went to my regular doc for my yearly. I don't know is you recall but this was the doc that told me I wasn't (that) big. So as she starts to do my breast exam I warn her about my scars she was shocked she had no idea I actually went thru with the surgery she then asked why I hadn't mentioned it b4 when I was in last and I told her well you didnt seem to care much when I wanted it done I didnt think you would want to hear about it now. What I got in return was almost shocking she was happy I had done it and glad I wasn't in much pain. She explained that the last patient she set up for BR was not happy with her results and the level of pain she went thru and had voiced it to the doc every time she was in office so basically she was worried that would happen again. So glad I didn't let her discourage me in the beginning because his has been a huge change in the amount of pain I had prior. Now I do have to say spitting stitches SUCK! 4 months and still get them here and there as well as my scarring under my breast is very tender and tends to have a painful ripping feeling when i move around too much but all in all I'd do it again. I love my new not so heavy breast lol Updated on 29 Aug 2012: Well today I went and seen my PS about my dog ears I explained how they where tender and how I did not like the way they looked and YAY I have my revision surgery sep.28 not sure I'm excited since I will be awake for this one I'm not quite sure how I feel about it but I do like the fact that the dog ears will be gone. Other than that things have been well and I'm enjoying the pain free life :-) Updated on 28 Sep 2012: Well today I had my revision surgery for the dog ears lets just say it could have gone better. To start I didnt fully numb up so the knife felt like deep scratches and the stitches oh those things where horrible but let me just say it wasn't my ps fault I don't numb up easy and he used all he could I just happen to be one of those unlucky people when it comes to that. So far I think I will be pleased I cannot tell how the scar looks just yet it's got steri strips. The pain isn't too bad I'm def. uncomfortable but I can manage. I will post pics later. Updated on 1 Oct 2012: Just wanted to do a quick update about my revision. It's been 3 days now and If it wasn't for the stitches stinging every now and then I would't even realize I had it done I'm not in any pain I sleep on my side without discomforts and best of all I can see a huge difference already so even with the discomfort I had during the revision I would def. do it again. What a wonderful relief :-) Updated on 8 Nov 2012: Well its been over a month since my revision surgery and I have to say I will never forget the pain of the needles and stitches ( I for some reason didn't numb up like I should have ) BUT with that being said OMG what a relief the pain I had on my right side is gone i was very tender where the dog ears where and it only took about 4 days after revision for me to be 100% out of pain I am in bliss I have no pain. My breast to me look amazing I can buy clothes and bras with no problem now. I just can't say enough how amazing this surgery has been for me. For anyone thinking about revision I just want you to know it's so worth it. I will try and post some updated pic's I know i keep saying I will but we bought a house and have been so busy remodeling and I haven't had much time sorry I'm hoping tomorrow I can post some though :-) Updated on 25 Jan 2013: Well it's been 10 months I cannot believe almost a year has gone by and so much has changed since the day of my surgery. Where do I start? Well lets begin with the pain I mean what pain? Since surgery after recovery I have been pain free no neck aches back aches and the only head aches I have is from my husband and kids lol but those head aches are so worth it lol. Life has changed allot I can get comfortable no flip flopping twisting turning or adjusting just pure comfort it's great not to mention clothes fit and look so much better. I however did not get down to the size I wanted and I am okay with that I think I would not have been as happy as I am if I had gone as small as I wanted so ladies even tho you feel like you know what you want your PS may know better mine did for me at least. Back in September I had revision surgery for my dog ears I had it was awful most ladies say it's nothing but I however would not numb and felt every bit of incision and stitching don't get me wrong I had option to stop and set yet another appointment to be put under I chose to take the pain and get the whole ordeal over with now with that being said the scars from revision look so much better than the original scars and not as painful either my right side healed up right away and the left is just now starting to act right I had really dry skin on the scar that was painful and itchy for a while but better now. Any how I need to cut this a little short I'm starting to fade it's 2am sorry ;-) So all in all I'm completely happy with my decision love the shape and look minus the scars. The surgery was def. worth it for me. Some advice I haven't given yet if you are allergic to ANYTHING make sure your PS knows even if it's just being lactose intolerant because you may just be given some pain meds that contain lactose trust me I know I learned from experience and it is not fun not knowing what is making you so sick. I will end this with I have some pics no seriously I'm going to post them right now lol I've been saying for the last idk how many updates I will have pics and then forget so today I have my 10mo pics :-) showing scars and how the scars do fade. Take care ladies!
I'm 36 yo, 5'7, and 150 lbs. Seven days and counting until my procedure. I had always had nice breast and a good body without even trying. Then came 3 children in 19 months, along with 90lbs extra. I breast fed all 3 of my kiddos leaving my body in damaged. I was always a full C through hs and college and now I'm a 36B. Oh, and prego boobs were great so to stop breastfeeding and losing 80 lbs in a year in a half, my girls look very sad. I'm proud of my mommy marks but I need some volume in this babies. My PS and I decided on the ideal implant at 455cc, submuscular, in crease of the breast. I want them to look as natural as possible but I also want to see what I am paying for. Hopefully i don't get boob greed. I am so grateful for all the reviews to help guide me through. Thank you ladies for being vulnerable enough to share. Y'all have inspired me to do the same. That being said I will be posting topless pics on the internet for the first time ever. Lol. Updated on 10 Feb 2017: The procedure went awesome. I think it went extremely well. I'm not good with pain and have little to no threshold but coming out of it I felt great. The nurse told me to set an alarm for pain meds , which I did during the day. At night I should've listened. I woke up at 3am and could not move. The pain was horrible. My husband got me one of my pain meds but I should have listened. Tonight I will be setting an alarm. They are riding high and tight but Dr. Izenburg assured me as the days go on with massage it will get better. I'm so excited. To me they look great. The pressure is bothersome but I have BOOBIES again!!! Here are some before the surgery and 1 day po Updated on 11 Feb 2017: I woke up throughout the night to stay ahead of the pain meds and today is a hundred times better than yesterday. I was able to shower with slow controlled motions. I feel like the swelling is the same but hopefully tomorrow it will start to subside. Bruising is minimal too. I hope it stays that way. So tired though. Feels like I'm in this constant fog. Can't wait to feel normal again. Updated on 16 Feb 2017: One week from surgery... still swollen and high and tight but they're looking good. Morning boob is no joke. I'm super pumped that it's getting easier everyday but I LOVE THE SIZE!!! Updated on 22 Feb 2017: Got stitches out!!! I didn't realize the bruising was there due to the sterile strips but they look good. I started using Scarguard strips immediately. Hopefully it will help minimize the scars to were I won't be able to tell at all. I'll post more pictures of the girls dropping soon. The wrinkles are from my sports bra. I noticed new stretch marks coming in too. Oh well, the new boobs are soooooo worth them Updated on 10 Mar 2017: Their lookin good. I'm finally sleeping on my back and the itching has calmed down. I've started working out again and it feels great. They haven't dropped much but definitely not as tight. I love them. Can't wait to see the results at 3 months. I'll keep y'all posted. Updated on 10 Mar 2017: Updated on 10 Apr 2017: The left is sitting higher than the right but they still have time to settle. There still is some mild itching from the skin stretching but LOVING the results. Updated on 1 Jun 2017: They have dropped and are fluffing!!! I'm still massaging but they are getting softer and feel like the real thing. Heck yay!!
Each state has different criteria for breast reduction and preauthorization is being obtained. It's impossible to tell from the photos whether the required amount of tissue can be removed so you can be a "D or DD" but your Dr. should be able to give you an idea of the final size. If the reason you're doing this is for symptomatic relief, you need to accept the size change necessary for your health insurance to cover the surgery and for the weight to be gone. If you're not sure you'll be happy with the required amount out, then you can proceed as an elective cosmetic procedure and your surgeon will not be forced to reduce you to a size than you desire desire.
Adding more saline to current implants that are filled to the recommended volumes most likely will void the warranty and in addition be firmer than ideal. Rippling can also be an issue with overfill. Give yourself a few months. Exchange is relatively easy with your incision especially if the pocket is adequate. Your surgeon should be willing to do this at a significantly reduced cost and the companies are usually good about making new implants available a some cost reduction. If you're generally pleased with your current result, an exchange should go well with little downtime.
Yes, a revision certainly is possible. Your final result may not be completely flat but that may not only be due to the complications. I agree completely with the other consultants that it's too early for anything to be done. Usually we wait 6 months to a year for the tissues to mature. Then a scar revision and liposuction should help you get closer to the final result you're desiring. Just remember, your swelling post revision will be significant and last quite a while.
There are a number of issues here and an exam by an experience breast surgeon is mandatory to determine exactly what needs to be done. But the implant pocket appears to need modification laterally and inferiorly to narrow and lift the implant to correct the "double bubble". Implant exchange probably would help with a narrower base and a little more projection. I certainly would not recommend anymore volume for your frame at all. Once the pocket is closed you might need less. By lifting the fold, the incision should be more hidden even if a revision results in less redness and hypertrophy.
