I wouldn't recommend getting implants with this doctor. Mine didn't turn out so good.

They are sitting way too high and look very unnatural. He puts them under the muscle. The best looking implants are usually in the muscle but he doesn't offer that.
One of the implants pops out to the side when I lay down on my back. It's very obvious. I could actually feel it. Last time I had my last visit with them his assistant saw me (the guy that assisted during the surgery) and said that it's probably because I started working out before a month. That kind of made me angry because it sounds like they messed something up and tried to blame it on me. I can definitely tell you that I did not work out within a month post surgery. The question in itself is redundant. It took me about 5 months to start doing some light walking and at six months I started working out. I remember that very well because I was in pain for the five months and wasn't physically able to work out even if I wanted to. The point is it's very sloppy to try to blame their mistakes on a patient and to not know what the actual recovery time is. It's a lot longer that they say. They say it's a month but it took me 6 full months to feel normal and comfortable enough to work out. This procedure was done several years ago and it still looks very unnatural. The implants add volume at the top but the bottom looks flat and it's very obvious that it's an implant. A lot of his before and after pictures look unbalanced like that. I thought that it's just temporary and they will come down lower but they never did. Properly done implants that are placed in the muscle (not under) look very natural.
Now a new side effect developed in the last few years. My leg falls asleep when I sleep flat on my back. Then I wake up at night because my leg feels weird. I move and bend the leg and it starts tingling a lot. Then after several minutes it feels normal again. It freaks me out to sleep on my back now. I'm not 100% sure that the implant is causing this but it it's possible that when I sleep it's pressing on a nerve or a blood vessel and that's what makes my leg feel numb. Anyway I've been thinking about getting them removed since they look so bad and possibly blocking the blood flow or causing nerve damage. It's just annoying that for 15000 dollars they can't do their job right and then don't accept their mistakes.
I don't think dr g is a good doctor, he's just a good salesman.

The procedure date here is incorrect. I got this done around 2015 but the app doesn't have an option for that year.
