These are my before and after photos. 8 weeks post BBL. When they handed me the photos, I thought they were all "before" photos. I feel better in clothes, but thought I'd have a more significant result. The Dr. said I need to wait 8 months for revision and I will see him next month to discuss. Has anyone else had this experience and do you think I will see continued improvement? Updated on 30 May 2016: 10 wks post BBL and not entirely happy with results. Clinique of Plastic Surgery in St. Petersburg, Dr. Drehsen did my surgery. Everyone in that office was wonderful, Dr. Drehsen made me feel very comfortable and my recovery was relatively easy. My shape is better but I still have saddle bags, evern though they are smaller. I'll try to figure out how to post some photos! I'm told revision can't be done until after 8 mos of recovery and can be done in the office, under local anesthesia. Anyone else have this experience?
After 3 kids my body want what it use to be and I felt like I was too young to be feeling like this. So I took action. I've always wanted breast implants, but after having kids I needed a lift too, along with a tummy tuck and some lipo. I went to Clinique of plastic surgery, hoping that after much research I had found the perfect doctor for what I needed done. I showed the doctor a picture of an anime character and said "I want to look like this" and we talked about what was possible and what wasnt. He was very professional even though I was nurvus showing my bare body, with my over lapping stomach and deflated small breasts. When standing in front of the doctor however I felt as if I was standing in front of an artist, looking at me not as "flawed" but as his next masterpiece. His confidence and yrs of experience emenated, but next came the hard part.....pricing. Before ever scedualing the consultation I had researched for the average prices for the Tampa Bay area, so I knew somewhat to expect. This office was a little high priced but I was willing to pay extra for better results. And I made the right decision. I absolutely love my breasts, they are large (700cc) but still look natural, my lift was successful and a good amount of the fat transferred to my breasts stayed. The scar from the tummy tuck is bigger than I expected but is healing nice. It's now been 8 months since my surgery and all of the swelling in my breasts are gone and I feel like I have my final results. My stomach has some swelling still but I was advised that it could take up to 1yr to heal completely. I have an appointment for December 1st to take some after photos and make sure everything has healed properly. Below I will list all of the procedures that I had done (all at once) The only negative note is that they really don't give you enough pain meds, like at all. •Tummy tuck with muscle repair • breast augmentation with fat grafting to the breasts • breast lift • arm lipo • chin lipo
My experience with Clinique of Plastic Surgery and Dr. D was the best ever. I moved here from Nashville TN and had only been here for a few months when my implant collasped on me. I went to several plastic surgeons and the minute I met Dr. D I knew he was going to be my surgeon.
