Breast augmentation with Renuva - I am healing rather quickly

FINAL UPDATE

It has been 4 months since my Renuva injection. I have not seen any results, and my photos also undeniably show that.
I spoke with Dr. Hernandez about my lack of results. She said that I must be "non responsive" to Renuva. Fair enough. I am pretty skinny and have a hard time keeping weight on.
Maybe if I can gain weight the Renuva will be able to plump up? I don't know.
She offered me a full refund (and said they would email their Renuva rep for a refund). The Renuva rep declined the refund, and so Dr. Hernandez is refunding me out of her own pocket. I am so grateful that she refunded me, and if I have anything else that I want to get done, she certainly has my business. I appreciate a doctor that can admit no results and take ownership of what they are offering.

FINAL RESULTS: NOT WORTH IT

Here I am, three months later, and incredibly dissatisfied with my Renuva breast "augmentation". Dr Hernandez told me that these three vials would add the plumping on the tops of my breasts that I was looking for.
I have a follow up with her soon. We will see what sort of satisfaction service she will provide. For $5,000, it would have been smarter to go with actual implants... and have a serious talk with hubby about "My body, My choice". I wanted to add maybe HALF of a cup size... again, just enough to give me a little fill on top.
Extremely disappointed.

Across all three brands, the interval volume increase varied between sizes, but not all were above 100 cc. There was some variation in the volume capacity of the same cup size among the different brands. The average incremental increase in bra cup size across all three brands in the laboratory arm was 135 cc. The mean volume increase per cup size was 138.23 cc in the clinical arm.
Conclusions: This article confirms that there is no standardization within the bra manufacturing industry. On the basis of this study, patients should be advised that 130 to 150 cc equates to a one-cup-size increase. Bras with narrower band widths need 130 cc and wider band widths require 150 cc to increase one cup size.

I’m sorry your results were disappointing. I’m surprised the doctor didn’t recommend a lift prior to injections.

Still some minor bruising, but what is most visible are purple pinprick marks at the injection sites. A little bit of makeup hides them. I haven't noticed much difference in volume.... I THINK I see a difference, but it could be in my head at this point.
I've been applying a heat pack whenever I think about it (to increase circulation to the area), and I massage my breasts when I'm in the car or in the bathroom. I really want this $5,000 procedure to be WORTH $5,000.

Hello.
Are you seeing any results?

No.... I'm extremely disappointed. I have a follow up appointment soon and I will update with how the doctor offers to make this right.

At $5,000, I really hope you get the results that Dr.Elizabeth Hernandez & her brochures told & showed you. If it doesn't work out you're gonna be out that money, like she left me. I had to go pay more money, to a different doctor, for a different procedure that actually worked.

I am so sorry to hear that. Sadly, I'm afraid that is what will happen to me. I am going to rate the doctor on her truthfulness and desire to make this right. Do you mind sharing what procedure worked for you? I'm desperate for surgical alternatives....

I’ve had Renuva, and the filling you eventually get is not more than the original fill. In other words, it does not expand later, it just populates the original matrix w your own fat. So like probably 75% of the original fill, minus the swelling. You have to put enough in initially to see the result you want and then some of that is just swelling too. Needless to say, it’s a VERY expensive route to take. I’ve had about a total of two body areas treated over several sessions. First I bought 21cc and then I bought 42cc. It is a subtle improvement. Very subtle. I did it to correct lipo deformities. But I haven’t done it in breasts. I wish you well on your quest!
