QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Great question! It is hard to make a final answer so early post op as there are many changes swelling etc. It is best to wait to make any final decision about sensation as for the most part it does get better. I would discuss this concern with your surgeon

Hello,

I think scar care is very important any silicone based product like scar fade, biocroneum etc works well, staying out of the sun works well too

great question. Best thing to do is talk to many surgeons and find one who has the same philosophy as you do and figure out what kind of results they can deliver for you

I would go met with many surgeons, find out about their philosophy, results, complications and whether or not they give you an honest realistic expectation about what they can deliver.

this varies from surgeon to surgeon but I would say anywhere from 3-6 weeks covers most surgeons preferences.

It is very difficult to establish whether or not there is a problem but it sounds like your surgeon is employing some version of the shoelace cast. I would have an in depth discussion with you surgeon about what your concerns are

Unfortunately not all surgeons are trained to do transaxillary breast augmentations and even fewer can do it well. I would be aggressive about asking about results and complications as most don't have the experience needed to be offering it.

Unfortunately that isn't possible, if you feel you need a lift it is best to have an in person consult

Crescent lift is appropriate for if you want a small lift, its hard to say so without an in person visit

Breast Lift with Implants

I Had an Amazing Experience with Dr Dan Mills, Laguna Beach.

I have had 3 breast surgeries with Dr Mills, he is amazing, kind, great listener. Just had my 3rd surgery, lift and exchange implants, and lipo in bra area, like the other lady I didn’t have much pain, I did here and there have those electrical type, however all went well, all the nurses and front office staff, are amazing. I do want more stuff done, cryo fat freezing, or maybe lipo? Whichever Dr Mills says is best for me. I wish my husband could listen as great as Dr Mills. Looking for real love this time around and am a real animal lover, must love Animals.

Breast Augmentation

Amazing Brest augmentation results!

I had such a great experience and amazing results with Dr. Mills. I really wanted a breast augmentation through my arm pits, and he is the best. I’m 5’7, 123 pounds and I got 410 cc. People are shocked when I tell them I have implants. They always tell me that mine are the most natural ones they have seen. My husband and I could not be happier with the results. Also, the staff at Dr. Mills office are all sweet and helpful. I recommend them to anyone who ask.

Great doctor and nurse.

Had a breast augmentation and happy with results. Thankful for Dr Mills nurse, Christina. She was AMAZING and made me feel calm and relaxed from start to finish. Had laser hair removal done as well and love the results!

Dermaplaning

Dermaplane is the way to go

I just had a facial with Michael, who is adorable by the way, and my face looks and feels great! I recommend dermaplaning and I have been to other aestheticians and they were not as gentle as she was! what a difference thanks so much Frances Alonso

$10,000Breast Implant Revision

BeachBaby82

Small “stuck” 355cc implants upgraded to 650cc mp.

I’m 5’10 117 Lbs. I have a 32” band size. Got implants 3 years ago but they were very far apart and “stuck” in place. Decided to get larger implants to widen the pockets and fill in the gap. My chest wall is barrel shaped and very small. I have no cleavage with my first breast augmentation and was wearing bombshell bras daily. My breasts did have a lot of side boob but no cleavage. Doctor recommended 650 which sounds huge Considering my weight, but he said my body “swallowed up” the 355cc Updated on 18 Nov 2017: I had a surprisingly large amount of pain after this surgery. More than I remember having with my previous. But the results are looking great.

Juvederm

Beautiful, plumped up lips

I recently had my lips done (juvederm injection) by Dr. Mills and I've never been happier! I used to have such a small upper lip, but since I've gotten my work done at this practice I have plump, fuller lips. For those that are going for a plumped up lip, Dr. Mills is the man to see!

Dysport

Kailana Kristin1

I had the best experience at Dr. Mills office!

I had Dysport done the other day and I absolutely love my results! The Dr. was very informative with the procedure and the office was absolutely gorgeous! I will never go anywhere else for my procedures!

Dermabrasion

miapuppy

Best facial ever

Dr. Mills and his staff are amazing! I just had the best facial with Dermasweep and extraction with Angel Alene! She has such a bubbly personality and I felt like she really cared about my skin. She explained everything she was doing and made me very comfortable. I will be back next month for my next treatment.

From AA petite to A+ care and resuults

Making the decision to undergo plastic surgery (breast augmentation) is not easy. I was fortunate enough to have a referral but I opted to complete my own due diligence. In the end the referral and research lead me to the same result, Dr. Mills. From the moment, I first exchanged emails with the office I knew this was going to be a different experience from my previous two consultations elsewhere. My consultation appointment happened to also be administrative assistant day and Dr. Mills had a lovely lunch laid out for his staff. Being in the consulting business I was already feeling in good hands by seeing this kind gesture. I spent roughly 30 minutes with Mimi where we discussed all my questions and concerns. We took some quick pictures so that we could manipulate sizes using 3-D imaging (no other doctor I had consulted with had this technology). Enter Dr. Mills, I was instantly put at ease by his smile and overall warm hearted nature. This shocked me in that I am the type of woman who generally prefers female doctors. We spent an additional 30 minutes where he explained all my options, answered all my questions from his professional point of view and then we took physical measurements and looked at the 3-D images. Dr. Mills explained how he would tailor the aftercare to fit my body type. I felt like I left with more knowledge, a better understanding of what I wanted and who Dr. Mills and his staff are. Fast forward to surgery and again everyone put me at ease. My surgery went smoothly (my mother waited on the beautiful patio with ocean view). Dr. Mills called me that evening to check in on me which was greatly appreciated. Now several weeks later I couldn’t be happier with my results. I feel like the woman I have always wanted to be thanks to Dr. Mills. I am happy to add that my mother was so impressed with the level of care and overall results will be flying out from Kansas to visit Dr. Mills for her replacement/reconstruction as a 2x cancer survivor. Note: I personally went from 50cc's of natural tissue to 350 silicone under the muscle.

Breast Lift with Implants

My surgery was pretty much pain free - Laguna Beach, CA

So happy to give this review! This past summer Dr. Mills gave me a breast lift, removed scar tissue, replaced my implants and did some lipo around my bra line. That is no small surgery, but I seriously had no pain. This was a replacement so I have had breast surgery once before to compare. Still, I cant figure out why I had no pain through it all, not that I'm complaining. The day after surgery I felt really good with no pain pills....It could have been all the preparations the office staff had me do prior or the oxygen afterwards. My recovery went so well I was thrilled. Also, the staff are all very nice and helpful, which made it nice to visit. Actually, I feel that my results are even better than expected. The size, shape and overall look he gave me is exactly what I wanted. So happy I chose Dr Mills out of all the Dr's I consulted with. Thanks to him and his staff, I am very pleased with the whole process.
