I’ve looked at before and after photos of doctors across the valley. I personally knew 3 people who’ve gone to Dr Edwards and recommended him. He definitely has the most consistent results across the board. I would trust him to do any surgery (and he could) but he’s chosen to specialize in breasts for now. He is the most professional, gentle, compassionate, joyful doctor! I’ve always had a big chest. In fact, I haven’t been this small since the 8th grade. After 2 late pregnancies in my 30s and nursing both my babies over a year, I was literally falling out of every bra I put on. Halter top swimwear would cut off the circulation to my brain and was so uncomfortable…they were so heavy! I wore black every day to make myself feel thinner. I dreaded buying anything that I had to put on my body. When I met my husband in my early 20s, we wakeboarded rock climbed and snowboarded. I loved dressing up for myself and impressing him. I had been home with the kids a couple of years and went on an interview and realized how much my self worth and insecurities were affecting my attitudes perspectives and I didn’t enjoy anything that I used to (including dressing up and going on dates). Thankfully my husband supported this decision and I feel so blessed to have been in these Doctors’ care for my breast lift and my tummy tuck. They have everything down to a step by step process and I can’t wait for the rest of my life to unpause. I can’t wait to get dressed and smile at myself and be silly and move with my kids! So grateful and so blessed for what my future. Updated on 9 Oct 2022: Photos Taken After Procedure. I will say Day 3 and Day 9 were my worst days. On Day 3 I have the highest pain level. I had lipo in my back and this part probably hurt the worst. This would’ve been much more intolerable if I hadn’t already experienced 2 cesareans. That being said, I didn’t have any morphine or pain pills because they make me sick. Updated on 12 Oct 2022: Pre Op Photos 2 weeks before surgery. My breasts were heavy and sagged and they didn’t stay in any bras that I owned. Dr Edwards met with me 15 months prior and we had a lengthy consultation. He’s incredibly thorough and addressed every question and concern.
I am only 3 weeks post op from my breast augmentation with Dr. Edwards and although it’s still fairly early in the recovery process, I am so very very happy with how my breasts are turning out. They already look better than I anticipated they would! I cannot believe how easy recovery has been as well. I only had some mild discomfort on day 1 and 2 post op, but no pain whatsoever. I took 3 Tylenol and 1/4 a tablet of painkillers on the first 2 days and that was it! Amazing. Also, I cannot say enough good things about his staff— Cynthia is phenomenal as well as Cathy! They make such a perfect team. I would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards at Plastic Surgery Vegas to anyone considering a breast augmentation. From professionalism, to bedside manner and skill… Dr. Edwards and his team have far exceeded my expectations in every aspect and I could not be happier with my results. I have absolutely no regrets and only wish I would have gotten this procedure done sooner!!
From my consultation, pre-op, surgery, post-op, Day 1 of recovery until now (26 Days) my experience with Dr. Edwards and his Team has been phenomenal. Answered every questions I could come up with and wiping away the worries. I'm so happy and greatful with everything so far and my boobs look soooo amazing. Highly recommend him and his Team 100%. Highly competent and caring. I will post before and after pics!!
t 38, I finally did it and I'm going to tell you what no one else told me. You're about to realize how much you use your chest muscles for just about everything in life. Just wait lol I am a 38 yr old mom with an athletic build. When I had my son I gained 20 lbs (140 lbs) and my boobs were like a 32DD. It was great but those bad boys vanished to 32Bs post breast feeding. The positive was, I knew my skin would stretch and it still had a lot of elasticity! Fast forward 5 yrs and a very good friend of mine that works in Aesthetics recommended Dr. Edwards. So naturally I stalked everything I could about his work and professional background before booking a consult. This is a really big deal and even though at first I felt silly for obsessing over the details I'm glad I did! You have to be sure that you choose the right professional for the job. This is your body and long term health, so do your research and list your questions!! Dr. Edwards has a calming and confident demeanor. He's board certified, widely published and he served in the air force. At my first consult I was conservative abut size. We settled on 345cc L and 365cc R But by my second visit I had consumed so many boob pics and RealSelf reviews I knew I wanted bigger. We landed on 400 L and 420 R. This was chancey because he recommended that I be careful with my base measurements. Going too big can cause all sorts of problems in positioning, healing, capsular formation, uniboob? I dunno maybe! I committed to the larger size bc I saw what my body did during pregnancy. What I didn't plan for was the nerve pain, hypersensitivity or the feeling of an implant slooshing around in my chest. More on that later...
I always wanted bigger bewbies since I was 15 and finally decided after extensive research that now was the best time to take the leap of faith. My surgeon is simply a genius and along with his amazing staff the entire process from consultation to surgery felt super comforting which is super important. I do not understand how some patients mention not liking their surgeon and still go forth leaving their lives(and titts) in somebody's hands they don't feel comfortable with.Surgery was essentially painless and within 48-72hours I was bored and wanted to head to the gym. DONT DO IT lol! I strongly recommend to have a close friend/family around for the first 5 days to assist with medication schedule etc. My fiance is a God send and was literally my at home nurse 24/7 lol.I am currently 2 months post OP and have had virtually no issues with healing and recovery. Overall the drop and fluff is coming along well, although my right is slightly higher than left. I got measured the other day at Victoria Secret and am currently 34D/32DD. I will admit some days I have bewbie greed and wonder if I could have went bigger but gravity and future kids will eventually force me to have a revision so until then I will enjoy the beautiful girls I have now. Will try to keep this updated on my journey as much as possible.:)
I traveled 1,336 miles to get surgery with Dr. Michael Edwards at Plastic Surgery Vegas. He is the most well-organized, compassionate, and competent doctor. Dr. Edwards successfully removed my capsular contracture on December 15, 2020. I regained my confidence, he truly changed my life. I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with the results. He took the time to consult with me twice virtually before I visited him. He answered every single question and explained everything in very detail. Dr. Edwards uses an app called myTouchMD to upload my before and after photos from every angle. He even took the time to take pictures of the scar tissue he removed from my capsular contracture. I am amazed at the amount of care Dr. Michael Edwards puts into his work. His staff is also very friendly, helpful, and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Edwards to anybody considering any kind of breast procedure.
Although I had contemplated a BA for nearly 15 years, I had never had, nor been able to take the time off of work necessary for a proper recovery; while the pandemic seemed like a less than ideal situation, knowing that I wouldn't be rushed back to work was certainly a bonus, and thus I began my consultations. Living in Las Vegas, I met with six local surgeons as well as a remote consultation with a surgeon in Scottsdale, AZ - I wanted to do my due diligence, as well as meet those my girlfriends had recommended so highly. Dr. Edwards has a wonderful bedside manner, and speaks to you with a professionalism that isn't the least bit patronizing (as a medical practitioner myself, it's infuriating to be talked down to, and I can only imagine the frustration as a lay-person.) While I was completing my Vectra scan, he pulled up his previous bodybuilding clients with comparable stats, something no other PS did; we discussed that I wanted a very natural result, that matched my proportions, rather than looking like I came to Vegas to have my breasts done. He was one of two PS I met with who didn't try to coax me into something larger, and I came out of surgery with exactly what we had discussed: 295ccL/310ccR Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch Moderate Profile Silicone Unders. I couldn't have been happier then, and now, seven weeks later, I am still just as elated. At 6WPO, I was cleared to return to the gym, albeit carefully, and have spent the past week testing out different movements from my usual program (excluding chest, obviously) with no issues at all; recovery has genuinely been a breeze. Updated on 5 Aug 2020: For whatever reason, my photos would not upload with my initial post; these include my before, as well as progress up to 2MPO (where I’m at presently! My appointment went swimmingly, and between Dr. Edwards and me it was difficult to tell who’s more thrilled with the results thus far!
Dr Edwards did my breast implants revision due to capsular contraction. And I have to say that meeting him it is the best thing that happened to me. Besides being highly skilled on this procedure, and doing an outstanding job, he is very kind, professional and always treat you like you are part of his family. My surgery went very well. I had minimal pain, no swelling and no bruising. He followed me frequently so check my progress. His assistants Cathy and Cynthia are super sweet, caring and extremely knowledgeable, you can tell that they are well trained. Every time I had a question or concern, they always called me back with a solution or answer to my problem. I always felt confident that if I needed something, he was always available to talk to me, but like I mentioned before, Cathy and Cynthia were so awesome that many times they answered my questions very well that I did not need to talk to Dr Edwards. Also, Sandra is Dr Edwards financial assistant and she is awesome, she will work with you through the process and will do her best to find you the best financial option for you. I highly recommend Dr Edwards to anyone that is looking for a great plastic surgeon. Trust me on this! You won’t regret meeting him. He is the best in town! Thank you for giving me back my confidence! I am forever grateful to Dr Edwards, Cathy and Cynthia for making this experience less traumatic.
Great! He was my 3rd consult and right away I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He was kind and took his time educating me on the procedure. In the OR I was very nervous and he took my hand while the anesthesiologist put me to sleep. He’s very good at making you, the patient, feel comfortable and reassured. Very happy with the results thus far, although I’m only 1 week postop.
My experience with Dr.Edwards was beyond great. From my consultation to the operating table, he always made me feel comfortable. His magic hands have given me the self confidence I’ve always wanted and I’m truly forever grateful.
As long as you are doing well and your immune system isn’t compromised, you can consider breast augmentation. I recommend your schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can go over your history, examine you and make recommendations. I would want a letter of clearance from your oncologist prior to surgery but the presence of a port should not matter. Dr. Edwards
There is no replacement for an in person exam but you appear to be a good candidate for a breast lift. Some tissue will be removed and your breasts will be a bit smaller by the lift and displacement of your breast tissue. I recommend you only consult with board-certified plastic surgeons as you decide who will care for you. Dr. Edwards
You appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. The best option is for you to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon to consult with who can make recommendations after meeting you, examining you, taking measurements and then suggesting an implant to fit your goals. Dr. Edwards
It will depend on the plastic surgeon you see but I have numerous times performed the surgeries at the same time. If you do choose to separate the procedures, it should not effect the results. Make sure to see only board- certified plastic surgeons to care for you. Dr. Edwards
If Your concern is the residual pigmentation under your areola, this should be easily removed under local anesthesia by a board-certified plastic surgeon. If, in your consultation, you requested a change in the shape of your breast or the position, this would potentially be more involved. Only board certified plastic surgeons as you look for who to care for you. Michael C. Edwards, MD, FACS
