His calm and confident demeanour and 30+ years experience sold me

I am 29 years old, 5'5, 120lbs. I have nursed two kiddos. Youngest is 2.5 and oldest is 10. I had a couple different consultations and ended up choosing Dr. Weisberg. His calm and confident demeanour and 30+ years experience sold me. Not to mention, my best friend had her lift and Augmentation done by him 12 years ago and was able to nurse and the ladies still look amazing!!! We decided to go with 365cc. On the day of surgery, I was nervous going in for the surgery but the staff was incredible and reassuring. (One of the girls also gave me a venue idea for my upcoming wedding!) I woke up in NO pain and surprisingly alert and not sick. Anesthesia has typically made me sick in the past. I did need to acquire a little more medication for pain a few days later. Maybe I have low pain tolerance. Ibuprofen has been doing the trick since. (I am 10 days post op) incisions seem to be healing great. I am really pleased with the results so far and extremely glad I chose Dr. Weisberg. As another review mentioned, he is certainly a master at his craft! I will post a follow up review once I get to the 8 week mark. Updated on 4 Jul 2019: The scars are healing up nicely. I am already very happy with the way the are healing and looking. I do not have any pain or discomfort at this point which is great. I did have a slight skin breakout for about a week and a half that was unpleasant but has since gone away. I really am loving the new ladies. I am very happy with the results.

Tummy Tuck

dsmall100

54 Year Old Needed a Tummy Tuck and Lipo

On June 21st I had a tummy tuck and some lipo I had the best experience ever with my surgery. Went in on a Wed morning and was home somewhere around 3. Don't remember much of that day. Took all my meds for 4 days and that was all I needed. of course I'm still a little swollen but every day it gets better. I had my 5 day follow up which went well and now I can't wait to go back on July 10th and maybe I wont have to wear the compression belt. I would do it again in a minute. Dr.Verne Weisberg is the best...I will post more pictures soon. Updated on 13 Jul 2017: its been 22 days since surgery and everything is going great.

FitMom300cc

33 Yr Mom of 3, 300ccHP Dual Plane - Portland, ME

This mom of three (9,6&3) finally getting her "re-boob". I have been talking about getting the girls "fixed" ever since I stopped breast feeding my middle child. I do not regret breastfeeding my three kids at all, my boobs just paid the price in the end. Deflated, empty and sagging... The girls will not "bounce back" and it probably doesn't help that I love running, lifting and racing (half marathons, mudders...) So...I've spent the past three months researching and it wasn't until last Wednesday (when I fell in love with my PS) that I knew I was ready. I had gone to another consult this past June where I was told I need a lollipop lift and a nipple reduction. An assistant was literally shoving sizers down my bra and telling me I had to go for 350-400cc because I'm a tall girl. (Which I am, 5'9" and 130lb). I left that office sad and discouraged and feeling much worse about my breasts than I had before the appointment. Fast forward to a week ago. After searching many before & after photos of PS around my area, I made an appointment and so happy I did. It confirms that I should always trust my gut and wait for the right "fit." Not only did my surgeon listen to all my concerns and desired outcome as an athlete, but after measuring me was surprisingly conservative with an implant suggestion. We are going with 300cc HP Mentor dual plane partial unders. I was nervous about the HP suggestion, but after seeing some photos of similarly built patients, I like the results (narrow implant, not a lot of side boob) He commited me that he wants them to look as good as I do and this implant will bring me to the full C that I desire. So.... I'm trusting him. He's the expert and no matter how many photos I look at of 300cc they all look different in different people. Excited and finally calm and not double guessing his expertise. A nice "mental" place to be. Also need to mention that I have the best husband ever. He doesn't say anything about my small chest. He always says he's a "butt guy" but I'm sure he'll love the results as well. They're an investment for "us" but I'm getting them for myself. . Updated on 15 Oct 2015: Updated on 20 Oct 2015: The "not enough?" Vs. "Too much!" Battle..... Updated on 26 Oct 2015: I'm cleaning, cooking and hugging my kids like crazy! I'm throwing my two year old up in the air and crazy dancing with her all day (just because I can). Feeling guilty that I'll not be functioning up to par in the days to come. My husband works so hard and I'm "the glue" at home with three extremely busy kids. I know I deserve something for myself, just nervous that I'll not be able to behave and "take it easy" for long. Or want to take it easy. I'm a busy-body. It'll be worth it ???? Updated on 28 Oct 2015: Surgery this morning at 10am, 1 hour procedure. 300cc HP Mentor round gel, dual plane unders. I couldn't be happier, and I'm feeling really good! Much better than expected. Only taking Tylenol so far today!!! (Besides the anti-inflammatory and nerve blocker I took this morning at 7:30am) Updated on 29 Oct 2015: Very sore in the morning, but once I took my shower and got moving, I feel good! Just took a little walk outside and now laying low again. Ice, ice, baby! Updated on 29 Oct 2015: Old top, new boobs! Updated on 30 Oct 2015: Wow, woke up feeling great! Only on anti-inflammatory and Tylenol. Slept through the night. Softening up already. A little sore, but completely tolerable. I had prepared myself for feeling horrible after, but this has been a nice surprise. To all the moms that have had babies and breastfed, this is not too bad!!! And mine are under the muscle... Updated on 2 Nov 2015: Softening up! Love them!! Updated on 2 Nov 2015: I forget what it's like to actually "fill out" a bathing suit top!!! Updated on 8 Nov 2015: Feeling good! Updated on 8 Nov 2015: Updated on 8 Nov 2015: Right side, still sore....left side feeling great!!! Can't believe how natural they look. It's like getting my pre-baby boobs back! Yay!

50 Yo, 17 Year Old Saline Implants, Autoimmune Diseases, Breast Implant Removal Long over Due. Portland, ME

Like many of you, I made the decision to have breast implants after a divorce. Looking back on my life now I can't believe I thought I wasn't feminine without them. At the time I was working out 2 hours a day....at 33 years old I was in the best shape of my life. I was 5'7" 120 lbs and a size A cup. I went to the same surgeon a friend went to. She's a very petite woman and she looked very proportioned with her implants so I felt safe going to the same surgeon. I asked to be a B cup and left very unhappy and scared with a D cup. The pain was so excruciating that I never visited the idea of having then taken out. Besides, I thought once the breast tissue stretches it would never go back. So I thought if I had them removed there would be nothing but empty sagging deflated wrinkly bags..gross, I didn't think I could live with that. I thought I had no choice but to live with them. Two years later, after the birth of my daughter in 1999 I got my first autoimmune disease, hypothyroid disease. Not great but not extremely horrible, I can deal with this I thought. Then came the chronic diarrhea. After 8 years of that a doctor diagnosed me with my 2nd autoimmune disease, IBS. Shortly after my second divorce I was diagnosed with my 3rd autoimmune disease, Rheaumatoid Arthitis. I believe they're all related to my implants. Like many of you, I too wish I never got these toxic huge ugly bags put into my body. But I did and I'm working on not living with regret. I am, however, so grateful to have found this site and the opportunity to read and live through all your explant journeys with you. I feel blessed to be here on line with every single one of you women! I mean that with all my heart! You all have given me the courage and the knowledge I needed to finally explant. This is such a major life changing event for me, as I'm sure it has been for all of you as well. And for that I thank each and every one of you beautiful women! Thank you for giving me the strength and courage to finally do what has plagued me forn17 yrs now-have these toxic ugly bags taken out of my beautiful body! Wouldn't it be great if we "implantees/explantees" rallied together to raise awareness about the dangers of breast implants. Like all other awareness groups, we could organize events to raise money for research. The problem is, like me, many of us carry these toxic bags in us secretly because we're embarrassed to admit we've succumbed to societies expectations of what a beautiful woman should look like. For me I never wanted to admit I was so insecure about myself that I found it necessary to alter my appearance by invasive surgery so that I can feel feminine. Sadly, I still, at my age of 50, struggle with loving and excepting myself as I am. It's so very sad that's we've suffered for so very long. This madness needs to end! I'm so worried about my 16 year old daughter. I haven't been a good example for her by constantly obsessing over my body her whole life. And this past year she found out I had a BA. Boy was that a hard conversation, for me anyways. She on the other hand said I shouldn't be ashamed and that she loves her small breast. throughout her life I have told her daily how beautiful of a person she is, inside and out. And I hope I have taught her that a persons heart, who they are as a person, is what really matters. I only pray she doesn't go through the torment I have throughout my life. The world is ever changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. I hope and pray that this younger generation of women accepts and loves themselves too much to undergo the painful, scary, and unhealthy outcome of plastic surgery. Although I see many women on this site still seeking breast implants as well as other surgeries, I'm hoping and praying for a more accepting movement to take place so one day I can revisit this site and see nothing but support to help us accept and love ourselves as we are. I now remind myself to do everything in love and kindness. Having a BA wasn't loving, having them removed is.

I had an amazing surgery on Monday , it's now Wednesday afternoon and I have had no pain whatsoever . I had a lift and an augmentation , 325cc silicone under the muscle . My breasts (I believe) look fantastic for having surgery just 2 days ago. I hope when they fully drop they don't look any smaller than this .

22 Years Old, 2 Kids(3and1) I Want Bigger! Portland, ME

I just met with Dr. Weissburg, yesterday for my consultation. Decided on 400cc's under the muscle. Right now I am a 34b and want a full C small D. I'm 5'7 and 150lbs. February 11th is my surgery date! :) everything the doctor said is what I wanted to hear, he was right on! He was personable, knowledgable, and funny! Updated on 29 Jan 2015: Went to my pre-op today! Went over everything I would possibly need to know, now just need to get the prescriptions filled! Saw the 3-D pictures, I'm pretty confident with the size I chose. :). I'm starting to feel super guilty about getting this done #1. The price, $7,975.00. And #2. The fact i will be of no help its our two young boys. The doctor said I will be able to return to work on Saturday, only 3 hours. I'm excited about that since we had no coverage, I work at a small bank. Now if only these 2 weeks will fly by. Updated on 3 Feb 2015: I'm getting excited!! Only 7 more days, got my prescriptions filled today. The other day I bought a comfy zip-up and a front zip sports bra. It's been 5 days since I have smoked last. :) my three year old son heard me talking about boobs, now he wants bigger boobs as well. Ohh geeze. Updated on 7 Feb 2015: Noticing that the price the doctor stated is much higher than most peoples, when asked in office he said the price is the same for saline and silicone, as to not want people to go cheaper and instead get what they want! Uploading more pictures of before since I will only have these itty bittys for 4 more days! :) Updated on 10 Feb 2015: I'm so excited tomorrow is the big day! These last 3 weeks have flown right by! Still very nervous not so much about the actrual surgery part but about the future. 12:15pm is my time to arrive, they said surgery will start about an hour later. I really do not like needles at all! I'm ready to have more confidence! :) Updated on 11 Feb 2015: today went super smooth, arrived about 15 mins early, the took me right in. I took a pregnancy test, then changed. I met with the doctor, he marked me up, met with the anetesia doctor,she put an IV in, and then went into the OR. All I remember was them saying they love my undies and the will make a perfect bikini bottom. I woke up with boobs!! I quickly asked for my fiancé, I guzzled down 3 bottles of water, ate graham crackers, and then took some pics and went home. I'm not really in pain just lots of pressure. It's now been 4ish hours still feeling the anesthesia. Going to take a nap. Updated on 11 Feb 2015: Updated on 12 Feb 2015: I'm still feeling pretty great today, very little pain, haven't taken any pain meds, I think my doctor did an amazing job! I am very pleased so far!!! Updated on 13 Feb 2015: They have changed so much already. The are not rock hard anymore, a lot of the swelling has subsided. They are already getting squishy! So excited!! I love them! I can't stop looking at and feeling them! ???? Updated on 16 Feb 2015: It has now been 5 days since my BA. My swelling has gone down significantlyp, I have full motion of my arms and have for a couple days. Except when I reach down to pick up something up off the floor I get this extreme sharp pain in my right nipple. As if something is stabbing me from the inside. It has happened three or four times doing the same thing. Anyone have something similar happen? Should I be giving my doctor a call or is it normal? Updated on 17 Feb 2015: I feel amazing, absolutely love my new boobs! I can not stop touching and looking at them. They are still slighty assymetrical, which i am okay with makes them appear more natural! Updated on 2 Mar 2015: Urghh so it's been almost 3 weeks since I had surgery. And right now I'm not happy with them. My Left one has dropped beautifully and my right one is still high, which is very noticable when I wear a shirt that shows my chest. So I have been having to cover up completely. I'm so frustrated, and I know it has only been 3 weeks, so I should stop being so impatient and wait a little while longer to see the true results. But I'm stressing since I can not afford a revision and summer is coming. Urghh!!!!! Help me calm down! My nipples for the past 4 days have been super duper sensitive also underneath has been very sensitive, almost feels like scratching sunburn. I did get measured though and I'm a 36DD. I deffinitly do not feel that big though nor do I feel like I look that big. My scars are looking wonderul!!

Id Recommend Dr.weisberg to Anybody Looking for a Positive - Portland, ME

I had my breast augmented April 11th. I'm only two weeks out but I feel amazing! The staff treated me like family and made the whole process so easy. Dr.weisberg suggested a size that fits my body perfectly. Recovery was far less painful then I expected which was a real relief. I'm still changing and healing everyday but already have gained back my confidence! I cant thank Dr.weisberg and his staff enough. Updated on 13 May 2013: Week 4: I'm completely back to myself:) I have to remind myself to take it easy for a couple more weeks! I've seen a lot of dropping and they're settling nicely into a natural slope. I go next week for my 6week checkup. Updated on 23 May 2013: I feel like I've had these breasts all my life! I can't believe how quickly I bounced back,even with two toddlers. Updated on 23 May 2013: Updated on 23 May 2013: :)

Love my New Look! - Portland, ME

I am a mother of a year old boy and after nursing him for that first year I knew I was going to want implants. I'm 5'2, 105lbs and during pregnancy and nursing was 34c/32d, pre surgery I was 34b. Wanting to be the size I was during nursing, a full d, Dr. Weisberg advised me to have 400cc gel silicone, under the muscle. I am 3 weeks post op and I love my results! Dr. Weisberg was so helpful, as were his staff! Very friendly and professional!
