Terry Holdredge, MD

Went for a consultation on September 2, 2014 and my PS recommended Natrelle HP 350cc unders and said he could possibly go up to 375cc, but would check them in surgery and see what looks best. I went in for surgery on September 8, 2014 and came out with 350cc on left and 375cc on right. I am very pleased with everything so far but wanted bigger. I recently went in for a 4 month check up (January 6) and decided to go for bigger! (:
I am a little nervous but I really have no upper pole fullness with the HP. I am switching to 460cc on left and 500cc on right in the Natrelle Style 45 UHP implants. I wanted more of the augmented look. My husband says you can't even tell I had my boobs done when I'm in clothes. BUMMER! My PS can possibly go up to 500cc on left and 550cc on right in the UHP but will determine that in surgery as well. I was a 34B pre op and am now a 34D post op. I am going for DD and more upper pole fullness and I'm really hoping we can achieve that with the new implants. My PS really doesn't want me to go bigger and says mine are perfect now, but I'm really not happy with size. My right breast has also taken its time in dropping. Left has dropped much faster. ): Will post before and after pictures below.

My stats are 5'2" and now 115 pounds. Recently lost about 20 pounds. Not 100% sure of my measurements but will update that later.

Anyone else on here have UHP implants?

AMAZING! I loved my breast before having an augmentation but they were just too small (32 A) i was so afraid to have an augmentation because I didn't want to ruin my breast. But he did 310 HP saline and I'm so in love with my results! I never had to take my pain medicine because the pain was almost non-exsistant! It was so worth it and I would do it again in a heart beat! If anyone is not happy with the size of their breast I urge you to get implants, I've never had so much self confidence! I feel like a new person,
I feel like a woman now!!!

at this time I am satfisfied and i believe it was well worth it but it is definately too soon to tell just how satified I will be.

I was so excited about my body, I forgot to let you know a lil about me. Im a 37 yr old mother of two, that live in SC.. I am 5'1 and was 190lbs, because of that reason no other Dr.'s wanted to give me my surgery because of my bmi, well Dr. Holdredge did my surgery with all of his care and experience and I couldnt have visioned a better result. I feel I encountered the best plastic surgeon in SC, at Bearwood Plastic Surgery. I had nine previous surgeries because of medical reason, Robotic surgery was the reason it was hard to save my belly button, but I am just so thank for the beauty Dr. Holdredge gave back to me..

well today was a good day, I rest a lil more. I notice that some of the women here are restricted from showering, my Doctor insist that I shower. I love this because Im clean, skin healing faster with no inflammation.I am just thankful. I weigh myself last night, Im down 12lbs from the first day I came home from surgery. wooohoooo!!

Well Im still swollen, im not sure how much longer I will be this way, but my tummy has to be touched up because of a loose hanging skin between the two incisions, i pray this swelling go away, im still in pain, im starting to wonder if this is fluid on my tummy. I dont think this is normal but i did have a 7hr long surgery, so i will talk with my surgeon more in June.. Im praying for everyone here thats considering tummy tuck.. God Bless u and I will keep u posted on final results

I'm looking forward to the after look. :-) when Im finished I will come back on and shout out the great job he's done for me. Praise God !

I had a csection 8 years ago pondered 3 more kids since. I am in much need of a tummy tuck! My breaking point was going to the beach with my cousin and her little boy asked why my stomach was so messed up and hers wasn't. I know kids don't know better and it shouldn't have bothered me so but It did and I happen to stumble upon this site. I thinkIt came at a good time. I've pondered surgery but its the lack of money and someone to watch the kids that is in the way. But the kids are older and I think I've decided I am shooting for the end of may 2015 for surgery. I love browsing this site and reading people's thoughts and feeling and their journy ! I can't wait to get the ball rolling in my court!

I have a consultation with a PS on Thursday. It was really weird though BC I emailed to make an appt and they responded that he only does consultations on Tuesdays. With my class schedule it's kind of hard but I was going to make it work for me to get there today. But then they emailed me back and said he had an opening for Thursday ( which is usually his surgery days) at 8:30 but again school is in the way. But they persisted that he wanted to see my Thursday instead of Tuesday so I will be going to be seen this Thursday. I decided not to go with the ps that did my BA only for the fact of, he is 40 mins away and we have to leave a hour before hand and I factored in traveling and riding with a TT and I would much rather be comfortable and stay as close to home as possible. Which is likely to change BC this guy could be a complete jerk and I don't want that! I'm shooting for the early December time frame. So I will know more on Thursday!!!

I called the ps and scheduled my tummy tuck appt! I really like him at my consultation. It threw me a bit Bc he "got on to me" I grabbed my stomach and was like, I want to get rid of this junk and he said, don't be rude. :-/ but I can understand and actually appreciate it too. My only concern is that he feels my scar will be high and not bikini low as I wished it would be. He also said something Abt filling in some dents that I have at my hips. But idk yet. I did say Id like a butt augmentation and he said I had a nice butt and shouldn't mess with it. Lol. The other down side is that he is 1500 more than my BA dr which sucks but he's in my hometown which I won't have to make an hour trip to and from every visit. Esp after having the tt. Anyways. So excited!! And nervous. Lol

I had my TT done yesterday. I think it went smoothly. I get to take a shower in a little bit so I can see my new stomach! I had a dream at some point last night/early this morning, that I saw my results and I hated them. ???? I liked my belly button but the skin above there was not removed and looked horrible. The dr told my husband that he got me so flat so let's hope! The worse pain is my muscles and my back where the lipo was done, which Idt he lipo'd the right area that I wanted gone. ???? Bc I can still grab the fat.

I got a little peek!

As i sit uncomfortable on my couch, I can't help but ask myself, why did I get this done? I know it's the lack of sleep and then pain and the wanting to get up and do what I need to do and I can't. But I looked down today and say my incision and it looks awful. It's indented where the right side is smooth. I could cry bc I paid 10K and expect perfect and it's no where near. I'm just so tired and stressed. My husband told me that I was really selfish getting this procedure done. :( Anyways, I'm being a debbie downer tonight. :(

My husband apologized and getting to look at the work done and taking pix, I feel a little better abt my reaults today.

I saw my dr today and he said everything was looking good. He took all my gauze and bandaids off and said I don't have to wear them anymore. The nurse cut all my visible stitches off and said my drains need to stay in until Thursday. On Wednesday morning until Thursday morning I need to write down my levels and then call thursday morning and that will determine if I can come in and get one or both removed. Had the most horrific pain ever today. I laughed and it was so bad but I couldn't stop but it put me in tears. It was awful. I'm still sore from it. I do not recommend laughing. :( which is the best medicine but it hurts so so bad. Other than that I am just resting Bc going to the dr wore me out. Out of breath and my back is sore from being hunched over.

I got my drains out today!!!! I expected pain. It totally was not. It was an odd feeling but i think the best way to describe it would be, relief. It felt like relief!
Now on to my disappointment of getting the procedure done.
I don't understand my dr at all. Everyone I've came across, here, IG, youtube, have worn a garment type thing, a binder, spanx, something! I on the other hand have nothing of the sort! Blows my mind. I asked the nurse today abt it and she said he likes it better without the compression garments. I can't wrap my head around it. :-/
My left flank saddens me. I guess it's swollen but more so than the right. I just can't see it looking like it should. It's not at all what I expected. I figured it would be immediate results. Where I would make my mid shape better and it just looks worse. ????
I had a why me moment after my glorious much needed shower. After I did comparison pic and sent it to my friends and even though they had kind things to say and was supportive and told me how great I looked. I didn't see it. My scar is going to be really high. None of my underwear or bathing suit bottoms will ever cover it.
I just can't see the future me at the moment. I see the now and it feels like this is what I paid for. Discouraging and i'm really impatient. ????

Still sore on my lower back and my flanks are bigger now than they were pre op which sucks. I'm told it's probably swelling but I'm afraid it's not and all that money was a waste and I ended up with bigger flanks than I started with. :(

Updated on 6 Jan 2015:
Swelling is a [RS bleep] :( but I went to the dr today and he said I need to heal more. I'll go back in 2 months. I can't exercise yet but I can start scar treatment. Just a blah update. Nothing exciting. Lol

So, it's been a since January since I've been on here! So much has changed! I decided to do 21 day fix and it's gave me the results I wanted! I mean, I have to work for them but I was so sure my TT with muscle repair and Lipo was going to give me that slim waste and abs. Boy was I wrong. And i felt defeated and hated the whole thing. Through 21 day fix I have the abs that I wanted and my love handles are going away! I feel so passionate about this program, I even signed up and became a beachbody coach. That way I can help others that were in my shoes! I paid 10k for the perfect body and didn't achieve it. :( but, I'm pretty confident now when I put on my bathing suit!! If anyone has any questions about beachbody and the 21 day fix program, feel free to message me and we can talk!
