Confidence restored

WORTH IT
After numerous consultations even with "celebrity " surgeons I went with my gut in the end and I couldn't be happier !!! Dr. Smith is amazing. I had 16 year old saline submuscular implants . Left breast had capsular contraction that I've dealt with for years leaving me self conscious. I'm still youngish and was adamant about not having a full lift this time around. Consult after consult the surgeons were trying to push me into a full lift and one even telling me I needed mesh on my left side and it would require two surgeons. After more research I found Dr. Smith in Irvine, ca (where I live) the moment I walked into his office I felt welcome.
Every member of his staff is so polite and sweet. I had an amazing consult with the doctor and felt so at ease that we were on the same page as my goals go. Booked my surgery for April 13th and I have ZERO regrets. I ended up doing a bilateral donut lift, implant revision from 420 saline implants to 695 maximum fullness natrelle gummy implants.

Did you go under or over the muscle? They look great btw.

Thank you ! I went under the muscle

If you dont mind me asking why did you go that high in CC’s and how does the muscle feel with such a big implant? And how old are you you seem to be about mid 40’s so its giving me confidence to go big at my early 40’s.

Just turned 38 this year. I wasn’t ready for a full lift and you can only take out so much with a donut lift. Surgeon felt I would get the results I was looking for by upping the CC. I didn’t walk into his office with a specific bra size in mind - I just had a certain look that I wanted . Muscle doesn’t feel any different then my first ones other then I don’t have the pain from the capsular contraction anymore and these implants are actually lighter then my first ones.

You’re welcome! I DM’d you

I replied to your DM. I don’t know why they don’t have alerts for that.

I’m trying to figure out how to tell you have a CC i cant tell. They both look just fine. What am i looking for?

Those two before pics show how I ended up with capsular contraction on my right side. I was actually in a lot of pain from all the scar tissue
September 29, 2022
Sorry capsular on my left
September 29, 2022
Ouch ok. That’s what I’m afraid of. My surgery is in 4 weeks and I’m afraid of getting a CC
September 29, 2022
It’s always a possibility unfortunately. I didn’t get it until after breastfeeding my second daughter though. Up until that I was fine for 8 years
September 29, 2022
Good luck with your surgery! I hope everything goes well . Trust your surgeon and his recommendations. I’m sure you did a lot of research before choosing him :)

I developed the same CC with constant pain+pulling. The Dr said a revision in the future (at least 12months post op) so wondering how your Dr. Fixed that and so well? Thankyou in advance. They look AMAZING!!
June 5, 2023
I’m so sorry to hear that. How far out are you from your surgery ?

Your breasts are way too big & unnatural.

Why not keep your comments to yourself. Whether they are or not is not for you to decide. If she is happy and confident then that’s all that matters. When people give their negative comments it could make her judge her decision based on someone’s opinion and not how she feels for herself. If they make her happy be quiet.
