After nursing 3 babies, my formerly awesome natural breasts (34 C/D), completely lost their shape and one breast was a full cup size larger than the other. This made me self-conscious and no matter what I do in the gym, it would never help. I went in for my consultation with Dr. VanNatta (I had consulted others) and I was instantly sold. First, his coordinator Michelle, is AWESOME. Dr. VanNatta makes you feel like you are the only patient in the world and he is very candid, friendly, and I was instantly convinced of his expertise and ability. The procedure was easy. Recovery was easy. I got gel implants. My larger breast received 213cc and a lift and nipple adjustment. My smaller breast received a 425cc implant. The only thing is that the breast with the smaller implant is not quite as full looking at the top, which I knew ahead of time...and can correct with fat grafting. Two years later and I am TOTALLY happy with my results. They look natural and symmetrical. I was so happy with my experience with Dr. VanNatta that I went in this week for a liposuction consult. For best results, I should get a tummy tuck with muscle repair, but I cannot take that much time off right now, so I am going to do Lipo in my abdomen, flanks, thighs...plus he is going to revise my c-section scar (I have had 3 c-sections). Also, he is going to kindly include the fat grafting to my breast to finish the results. I will post another review of that procedure after.

Tomorrow is my Lipo & c-section scar revision

I am going to take some before photo's before my lipo and scar revision tomorrow. I think I will start a new review for that procedure, but I will update this one, too. I am about 20lbs heavier than my "perfect" weight, but that may be an advantage in getting the lipo. I am so excited, but neevous because I think the soreness will be a lot worse than my breast aug. i am imagining tons of bruising and swelling and soreness.
I have been taking arnica, CoQ10, & pineapple Bromelain for about a week and will take for 2 weeks after to aid in healing and keeping swelling down.

Before and after pics 2+ years after silicone implants fixing asymmetry

I went on 9/10/15 for lipsuction, and while he was at it, Dr Van Natta injected a bit of my fat into the top inside portion of my left breast. There was bruising, but I did not find it painful. The result was very subtle, but effective...adding just a tiny bit of fullness to make it more closely resemble the other breast. Here are pics from before my augmentation and 2+ months after everything.
It's nice to hear that you're very happy with your results two years post op! And how cool that you're going to get the final touches of fat grafting to your breast. If you have the courage, we'd love to see any pictures you're willing to share. Hopefully you'll be starting a review in the Lipo community. Thank you for sharing your helpful story with us on RealSelf!
