- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Before and Afters
What a transformation! I am so happy!!!! Again, I can't say this enough, I FINALLY feel like a woman! Beyond thrilled with my results thus far! 2 weeks out and feeling good. They still feel very high and hard. Have begun "massaging" to help them settle in place. It is really more of a deep pectoral pinch downward than a massage. My skin is feeling less and less tight as the days go on. My nipples are still incredibly sensitive and almost have the feeling of being chapped. Have been applying lanolin and it has helped tremendously.
I Feel Like a WOMAN!
Simply the best.
Backstory: I am a 37 year old, 5'6" 120lb mother of 4 wonderful children. I spent a total of 8 years of my life either pregnant or nursing. I have always had an athletic petite build and loved my body through all phases of motherhood. Making the decision to help my "sad deflated girls" happy again was not an easy decision for so many reasons. Ultimately I looked at it as a reconstruction rather than an augmentation. I had never had large breast, probably an A cup at their peak, but breastfeeding left me with sad deflated breasts that couldn't even fill a 32A "training" bra from the little girls section.
The decision: I wanted to feel like a woman. I wanted to feel feminine. I felt beautiful, confident and strong. It was just time to "reconstruct" my "girls" to reflect how I felt...like a WOMAN rather than a child.
The Doctor: Ask everyone you know and read ALL the reviews! After doing my research, I was confident Dr. Carlisle would be the right choice and I am more than pleased with the work he performed!! He was patient with me, even when I had about a hundred questions regarding size and shape. He was kind and listened while I repeated myself endlessly saying that "I didn't want to look ridiculous." He was patient and humorous with my husband who gets silly and awkward in awkward situations. He made us both comfortable and confident. I even called in 2 days prior to surgery after we had already decided on a size and said I wanted to change the size. He and his team rushed around to overnight a second size option for me to choose the day of surgery! Ultimately we chose to go with the size originally agreed upon and I am so happy we did.
The procedure: Surgery was as smooth as it possibly could be on my end. Checked in at 9am, left at 3pm. It took me a little while to not feel nauseous post op.
Recovery: The first 2 days were the most difficult. Pain medications make me vomit. Ice packs, sleep and ketorolac were my saving grace. By day 3 I felt better and felt postpartum, funny enough! My breast felt fully engorged and my stomach was squishy from post surgical swelling. I had no bruising and even before "settling in place" they look great. At my 1 week follow-up the surgical tape was removed from my incisions. One incision looked beautiful, one was a little bubbled up with some slight pulling, but all in the scope of "normal" healing. I am now 2 weeks post op and still have just slight swelling. Day by day the tightness and feeling of engorgement gets a little better.
Overall: I am beyond thrilled with my results. I finally feel like a woman! Thank you, Dr. Carlisle for a wonderful experience and wonderful results!
