Stephen Weiland, MD (retired)

I've been thinking of breast implants since I was 20 and heavier at 218lb. I've never had full breast but after I lost all the weight (weight watchers is fantastic!). I ended up with absolutely very little. My husband and I have been together for over 12 years so he has know me everywhere from a size 16 to a 4 and while he has never mentioned anything about my weight (or breast size for that matter)...I've just lacked full confidence even after meeting my goal weight.

I've got 2 boys (18 and 13) by adoption and my husband and I have no plans for biological children. With all the stars in alignment of a great marriage with a supporting husband, beautiful kids (human and 4-legged lol), an awesome job. I came to the realization that right now was finally my time to take care of myself.

1 day and going great. I decided to take part in the speedy recovery. Yesterday I went home, ate and took my pain pill and other necessary pills. Then was out waking and shopping the rest of the day. A little tired by end of day but took a shower and ibuprofen and went to sleep well. Even though I'm a stomachs sleeper - sleeping up right wasn't too bad.

I didn't properly update pics so included are pics 1 day post - op and 2nd day post op.

I'm feeling great aside from how incredible bloated I am! I asked my dr and he let me know it's normal due to anesthesia, pain mess, etc. However I am going on 2 days without and bowl movement and definitely has been the least fun part of this recovery so far.

I was out walking at stores all day yesterday from about 10 after breakfast till 8 at night. Completed my excercises all day and fell asleep really easy at night. Let the progress continue!

Feeling good aside from the constipation (I asked my Dr about it and he let me know I could take over the counter pills to help with it).

I've stopped my pain pills cause they where making me sleepy and I've definitely felt the difference in pain but I'm stubborn to stay dependent on them so I'm working through the aches with minor exercising encouraged by my Dr.

I've got to admit that ok really liking how my recovery is coming along. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the bloating and weight retention caused by anesthesia and pain pills. My husband says he can't tell but we each know our own body better than others.

I ended up having to take a pain pill towards the end of last night due to me being achy and restless.

I've got my 5 day post-op visit tomorrow where massaging directions will start

The stitches are off - now I get to do bra shopping tomorrow!
My doctor let me know I've got no restrictions as far as bras go...I don't need to wear them during the day or for sleeping and I'm cleared for any sleeping suggestions.

Now it's time for me to massage, massage, and keep massaging them into shape.

Feeling great - aside from some itchiness in the stitch area from healing. I put my piercing bars back in and the implants feel like I've had them for years - completely normal. Looking forward to them become more natural looking.

I bought 2 bras but I find myself living in sports bra since they're so comfortable.

Staff was wonderful and Dr. Weiland is the most caring man. I like the fact that he does a check up every year (free of charge) to make sure all is well. I recommend this group to all whom want a very professional procedure. Not to mention the office is very welcoming and state of the art. I am extremely please with my outcome :)

I forgot to mention I have NO scars..one small one underneath nipple area..not visible. I would highly recommend Dr. Weiland and staff to anyone wanting any type of procedure. They are very professional in all areas.

I have never got so many compliments but the best part is..everyone thinks mine are real. After they took place my breast do not have that circular hard look. They are soft and very natural looking. I have a follow up every year on the anniversary of surgery date. This office continues to take care of you and make sure everything is going well. From Doctor to Staff to atmosphere in office overall rating there is 5 plus stars.

I was a little nervous about getting a breast lift so I had several consultations and did ALOT of research before making my decision. Dr Weiland is so caring and professional. He eased my mind about the concerns I was having. He made me realize that having a few scars was the trade I was making to having beautiful reshaped breasts again. The scars are not to so bad! It was definitely worth the trade because my breasts are beautiful and perky again!!!

I loved it right away! I used botox before and had to wait up to 3 weeks for my "true" results. Dysport worked within 3 days and after one week I was amazed at how well it worked.

I would absolutly recommend this product!

I had lipo done years ago on my hips and thighs. The surgery went really well and looked like I got a butt lift.

After about 3 years I began working out to get more muscular due to work and noticed that there were areas on my thighs that had divots in them. They were long and thin. Then it occurred to me that perhaps during surgery (which as we all know is not a science) the places that hurt the most had the divots.

The part of your body where muscle meets fatty tissue is not black and white especially with the instrument they use. Is it possible that they removed muscle tissue along with my fat cells and they now are rather deformed?

I had a body fat percentage of 18% when I saw these. I wish I would have know that now b/c the surgery was not worth it in my lower thighs.

This is the first review I've ever left. Dr. Weiland performed Erbium resurfacing on me 6 years ago. Since then, I've been working hard to save money for treatments that could repair/improve the damage and scars. It was obvious after the healing had finished, that I was left with severely damaged skin. I had depressed scars lining my face; long indented lines from the laser along my forehead, cheeks and chin. Also, I had large red dilated capillaries everywhere. My face was very obviously terribly damaged and I was, of course, deeply devastated. I asked him if he could help me repair my skin and he offered 20% discount on services to repair. I was shocked, heartbroken (because I trusted and liked him), and seriously depressed. I had saved up to get this procedure done for my 40th birthday. I haven't been the same since. He didn't offer a refund or offer any help except the 20% discount. I am left with deep scars all over my face. I avoid looking at myself too closely. The sadness and regret is overwhelming at times. The biggest regret of my life.

Well, I noticed just before Christmas that my right breast is leaking. I have high profile, 320cc saline implants that I've had just shy of 8 years. I am 28. I first thought of explant right before I found out I was pregnant in 11'. I've never been comfortable with my decision to implant. Though my breasts look fantastic, I wish I had been more comfortable in my own body. Looking back, I was just so desperate to feel like a woman, because breasts = woman (or so I thought). I successfully nursed my 2 year old son for a year and a half and my breasts bounced right back. Well now, 7 mos later I noticed the leak. My appointment to see my original PS wasn't supposed to be until the 6th, I was so excited to finally get the ball rolling on finally getting these things out, until this past sun when I got a positive pregnancy test. My initial response was sadness :( Now I'm pregnant with a deflating boob. How could this be happening? How am I going to look? Is the leak going to affect the baby? I was soooo close :( I had all of these hypothetical scenarios playing in my head so I felt it was best to move my appointment date up. I went in 2 days ago and he confirmed I do have a leak and that there is nothing he can do about it until after I have, and breastfeed the new baby. It calmed me. Hearing it from him that it's out of my hands, now I can be excited. And I am! So here's what he said: 1.surgery is possible, in the 2nd trimester, with clearance from my OB, but not recommended. He said it depends on "how much I'm willing to stomp my feet to get it done." Which is none. Besides esthetics purposes, it is unnecessary since its saline. 2. That he can and would be willing to deflate the other in the event that the leaking breast completely deflates, which it may not. Also not until the 2nd trimester, and OB clearance. And 3. If infection occurs, he will take them out.
I hope my story helps, as this site has helped me so much already and I will keep you ladies updated. As of now, I plan on getting 6-9 solid months of breastfeeding in before I consider surgery. I have read comments on here of successful explant while breastfeeding, so I'm hopeful, and waiting for MissPixies updates :) I already notice that my breast is still slowly deflating, so I will most likely end up getting the other deflated. I am already so lopsided and its only been a week since first noticing the leak .. Happy New year! Xoxox

I don't know why my photos didn't show up..so here they are

I went in for my consultation yesterday witch was 7-22-13. It went great! The doctor and I went over what breast size I wanted to be. Looked at a few different implants, both silicone and saline. I went with 550CCs of saline under the muscle. I've been watching & reading so many vlogs, blogs & reviews that I may want to go bigger. So many girl have gone back to the doctor for a bigger size. I'm not sure ! I don't have a lot of time to decide!
