Requested update!
It's to be noted (once again) that I didn't want a lift. I wanted the natural look that they currently have and if you'd like yours to sit higher, look more "done", or whatever your goals are etc, you should get a lift and maybe even consider a higher profile based on what you want to achieve. Get with a surgeon who will listen and give you what you desire. Verrry happy with my result!
3 month update!
No complications. They feel amazing. No pain. I can sleep in any position and they feel just like any other part of my body. Dr. Costa really did his thing!

Provider Review
So, this was my 1st ever cosmetic procedure and surgery period for that matter. I went to a few consultations and knew that my breasts presented many challenges. They were far apart with significant and uneven sagging after 3 children. My wide chest left a lot of space between my nipples. After much research and carefully thinking about what I wanted to achieve, I decided that Dr. Costa was the surgeon for the job. He is well trained in the transaxillary approach (through the pits) and I wanted that expertise because of my concerns about scarring. I'm a darker skinned woman and have a history of my scars not looking so pleasing. I started my journey with Platinum Plastic Surgery with Andrea, my care consultant. She is such a sweetheart and so down to earth. We tried on sizes and I decided that the cc's were irrelevant as I wanted something that fit my body and would produce the best result. I also was very adamant about not wanting a lift, also due to scarring concerns, despite my sagging breasts. She said if anyone could produce a good result without a lift, Dr. Costa could. So, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Costa. I was kinda all over the place and didn't have my questions and thoughts very organized so I suggest writing things down before your consultation. Lol. He was so nice and sure of himself. I was nervous because I'm just awkward like that. Lol. I was so pleased to hear that he felt comfortable in his skills to perform my surgery without a lift even though I was borderline and could benefit from one. He does have the Vectra software but it wasn't very helpful for visualization due to the state of my breasts but he reassured me that all would be well and he could improve the look of my girls. There was a lot I didn't quite understand about how sagging breasts and implants interact with eachother but I just had a feeling that he knew exactly what he could do and I was able to push past my apprehension. I told him I wanted a more natural look and we opted for 650cc moderate plus implants. With my sagging, I knew my breasts wouldn't be in my chin which was fine as I just wanted an improvement and he let me know kind of what to expect so I had an idea in my head. Scheduling surgery and payment was a breeze. They really care about their patients and have a very well thought out pain management protocol. I was given great quality supplements and clear directions for pain management and aftercare. Andrea was there every step of the way until surgery. Surgery day went smooth. The facility Dr. Costa owns was suuuper clean and the front desk lady was so incredibly nice and reassuring. Richard, my prep nurse, was so chill and cool. I felt like I could be myself with him. He didn't seem bothered by all of my questions either. I met with my anesthesiologist and he was VERY thorough with his preanesthesia questions. The anesthesiologist was very well seasoned and eventhough I was terrified of having anesthesia for the 1st time, I knew I was in good hands. He even gave me a little chill med before I went back that relaxed my anxiety and panic. I saw Dr. Costa so he could do his markings, he answered more last minute questions for me and I went back for surgery. I was out so fast and woke up in recovery with Richard and had a laugh about some things I was saying when I was coming to (which I have no memory of). Lol. I was in a bit of pain going home but I got in bed and was comfortable in the days that followed. Dr. Costa was also so thoughtful and sent me beautiful flowers to enjoy during my recovery. Of course my breasts have gone through many changes over the days that followed and looked odd, as they all tend to, but I trusted the process and they are looking better and better each day. My incisions are healing well, no infections or complications. My followup was great. I was in great spirits and my breasts were looking as doc had expected for that point in my recovery. Since I started wearing the push compression band my results are starting to come to life. Dr. Costa definitely underpromised and over delivered because they look soooo much better than what I could even imagine- especially with how mine looked presurgery. If you look at my before pictures, he really is a magician! Dr. Costa and the Platinum Plastic team are the best! I am really overwhelmed by how amazing my breasts are starting to look and I'm 6 days post op at time of writing so I just know they are going to get even better. Looking forward to exploring other procedures by him because his 360 lipo results that I've seen 1st hand look amazing also. They also have a med spa I want to explore. I recommend them 1000%.
