Implant Upgrade (371cc to 470cc) - Already Under Muscle and Lesion Removal
ORIGINAL POST
Implant Upgrade (371cc to 470cc) Already Under Muscle and Lesion Removal in Bozeman.
WORTH IT
After much searching, I set up a consultation with Dr. Jarred McDaniel. His office does charge a consultation fee, but it goes towards your surgery balance when you book a surgical date.
My situation:
Originally had 371 Natrelle silicone implants placed in October 2013. Never had any issues with my implants. I was discovered to have a 7cm lesion on my right breast that was benign but growing bigger to the point where it needed to be removed and the growth was plainly visible when wearing a bra/bikini.
All this to say, I was searching for a plastic surgeon who worked beyond elective surgery and tackled physical appearance problems born from body malformations (like myself), accident, and injury.
The consultation was thorough and Dr. McDaniel used the latest technology to capture my current stats and show my before 3D pictures on the (near) lifesize screen. I also viewed (potential) after models. We discussed everything. He gave me options as far as the game plan during surgery and the pros and cons of each. I was also encouraged to be in touch with ANY question.
I would regret not mentioning Kayla, RN and Kate, Office Staff of Gallatin Plastic Surgery. I enjoyed meeting Kate at my consultation. You can tell she has years of customer service experience, as she is naturally warm, friendly, and smart about all the nuts and bolts of the office. Kayla, is one of those whipsmart ladies who has ALL the medical knowledge, but sprinkles in phrases like "that iv went in beautifully " and "you are doing wonderfully, Rosemary." to keep you feeling safe, confident, and excited about your surgery instead of fearful.
Onto surgery day!
Surgery was scheduled for 7a.m at a private surgical suite. I went this route before, preferring the more personal environment and avoiding the hospital. The suite was immaculately clean, sterile, and the operating room reminded me of Grey's Anatomy. I had the anesthesiologist chatting with me about medical "shop talk" and personal antidotes until I took a 2 hour nap. I was nervous, and that I was expecting. I woke up feeling sleepy and was discharged with thorough instructions until my follow-up appt.
What a relief!
For after care, I am taking Tylenol and Advil scheduled around the clock and pain medication as necessary.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET A PEEK AND SHARE PHOTOS WITH YOU, LADIES!!

Adding Before Photos
Here are my before photos!
You can likely notice the asymmetry as the left inplant had drifted down and out and the right breast is where the 7cm benign growth was located. I had the pocket for the implant tightened on the left side only. On the right side, where the growth was removed, Dr. McDaniel was able to go in through the inframmery incision and was able to only make one incision instead if two. This I am thrilled about!

8 weeks post-op PHOTOS
Here are my 8 week post-op photos!
The left breast continues to drop and fluff. I am 100% satisfies with my results. I was given complimentary scar treatment cream and a discount on scar laser treatments in the future, though I don't think I will need them! I plan.on posting more photos after my final visit with Dr. McDaniel at 6 months post-op.
