magster3June 15, 2017
WORTH IT$10,630
On 7/25/16 I had this procedure done I went from a 36DDD to a 36 C absolutely love it!!!! Dr Ringler has been very caring, compassionate and is willing to address all concerns I may have. I feel very fortunate I had this procedure done as DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma InStu) was found in my left breast , early stages , but if I would not of had the procedure who knows where it would be now . I still have a few things I have to have done but with Dr. Ringler by my side no worries at all!!! I would definitely have this done if anyone is thinking about it no regrets at all!!!

magster3August 24, 2016
I can't say enough about Dr. Ringler he did an awesome job on my procedure and is caring and compastionete to whatever your concern's are. I would derfinately use him again if I ever had anything else done in the future...I went from a 36/DDD to a 34 C had lips on sides of breast under arms made me smaller around. My scars are healing so nice I'm 1 month post-op tomorrow 8/25/16 wonderful experience have to admit scary going in not knowing what to expect, so glad I did it and thank you Dr Ringler for making me feel beautiful again and not having those heavy breasts weighing me down!!

Oh man I'm sorry you have more to worry about but glad you found it! I had my implants and lift just 2 months ago and want them out already. I was told I'd be a C and I'm a 32DDDto a 34DD! I'm inbetween a 32 and 34. They are so big and so heavy. But I had wonderful results, just too big!! Did you have to have drains? Best of luck to you!

Hi sorry your not happy with your results not I did not have drains it was great , I love the results just really can't enjoy it till this whole ordeal is over. But I tell ya I went from a 36DDD to a 34/36C it's so awesome the weight off your chest is unbelievable..best of luck to you & hugs!!

Kinda Confused
magster3August 10, 2016
Hi all had my 2 week check up today with the Doc and all looks good except for one thing that through me for a loop. The large tissue they took out when you have a reduction cam back from Pathology whit signs of Carcinoma Insitu a stage 0 form of cancer that gets into the milk ducts, the Doc took a large mass of tissue out and only found 0.4 cm of this cancer or no cancer some say pre-cancer some say zero stage cancer. So with that being said not sure where to go from here I going to see a Breast Dr. to see if I can have a CT Scan or MTI since I cannot have a Mammogram for 6 months...please keep me in your thought & prayers..hugs to all.

Hi Magster3,
I am sending you positive vibes and hugs through the cyberspace. I hope everything will be fine for you.
I am still waiting on my results back on ALCL so it is a worrying time. I totally understand how you must be feeling.

Oh... I know you were not expecting to find a complication when all you wanted was the implants gone... When do you have an appointment to get it checked out? My thoughts are with you. Please let us know how it goes... Xxxooo
August 11, 2016
Thank you I don't have the appointment yet waiting for them to call me yes it was a shock cause I just had a mammogram last year March and it turned out good. Thanks so much for thinking of me I will post updates hugs to you.
August 11, 2016
Oh, the waiting is the hard part. Unfortunately, mammograms are not always easy to read with implants and I'm sure even without implants, things get missed. Thinking of you and hoping for the best. Xxxooo

I now have an appointment for 9/23 mammogram & ultrasound can't wait till it's over, thanks for so much for the kind words!!
August 27, 2016
feel very lucky that something that may not have been found until it was too late was found early, the same thing happened to me during a gastic bypass a tumor was found that was in the way when the dr went in, it was on the outside of my esophagus he cut it out he didn't think it was cancerous but sent it pathology anyway and it turned out to be cancer, I get cats cans every 6 months and so far nothing has come back, had I not gotten that surgery surely this quarter size cancerous tumor would not have grown large enough to cause trouble enough for me to seek help, for a long long time possibley too long to do anything about it. I feel so fortunate and you should too.
August 28, 2016
Thank you I do feel fortunate and happy for you too that they caught it in time. It's the waiting that's driving me crazy, cause of my reduction I can't have a mammogram to see if anything else is in the tissue that left of my breast it is scheduled for 9/23 along with an ultrasound I know be here before you know. Thank you for the reminder of luck was on my side sending you positive vibes and hugs!!!

I know my opinion is probably pretty controversial, but here it is for what it's worth.
Mammograms canse breast cancer. With that in view why do it. Perhaps try Thermography &/or sScanning instead. Please don't all jump up & down, we were asked for our views etc' :-)
