Congratulations on your weight loss! Your results look amazing so far. I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain. I went to Dr Smith as well & loved my entire experience. I will say that there were a few things I had to ask for because they weren't offered right off the bat, but I always got what I needed. For example, I wanted to do the 3-D imaging and they never offered it even though they advertise it. So I asked and they gladly obliged. Then at my preop, I was having size doubts & we talked about it but they never asked if I wanted to try on sizers again so I had to suggest it and ask to try them again. And once again, without hesitation they brought in the sizers and truly let me take my sweet time in there. At my post op, I told him I couldn't sleep and that the pain killers were too harsh for me so I asked about a muscle relaxer/Valium and he gladly wrote me a prescription. I'm the same way you are... I hate asking for things because I don't want to bother anyone or be a nuisance. But in these situations you have to do what's best for you. You are the number one priority. Put your fears aside & ask directly for exactly what you need every time. Its their job to take care of you. It's probably too late for that advice but if you do go through with the BA later, please know that Dr Smith especially will do his best to accommodate you. Not sure why his nurse wouldnt refill your pain pills, that's not cool at all I'm sorry. Maybe it had something to do with prescribing narcotics over the phone or something but regardless, she should have explained and done everything in her power to get you the relief you needed. I wish you a speedy recovery from here on out. You look amazing, now it's just time to feel amazing too. ❤️

Sorry for all the questions, but your breasts "pre" look very similar to mine. Do you feel like you look the same in your clothes for the most part? A friend of mine who had it done, who was a D pre-surgery, said her doctor said no one is every happy with the fullness after a lift, so he always puts in small implants. Are you happy with the fullness? I still want a "large" chest after the surgery, since I have larger hips so balances my body. Would appreciate your perspective. Thanks!

I just got my augmentation Thursday! The fullness just wasn't there on top like I had hoped. clothing didn't fit right.

Did the doctor tell you "pre lift" that you'd be a C cup or did he think you'd go from a DD to a D....but ultimately you were left with a C so did the implants? I'm terrified that with a lift only I'll be left with flat looking, bottom heavy boobs.

4 months later I realized that I'm just not happy with smaller breasts.
I loved the way Dr.Smith prepared me so I could choose to get them when I was ready. Maybe I would have changed my mi d about keeping my C cups.
One breast was left wider and bigger than the other and I definitely needed more lipo on the sides.
But he assured me everything will be fixed once my augmentation was done!

I did it! And the pain is worse than when I had my lift. It's supposed to be the opposite right? Well if you knew me, you'd understand. I'm very sensitive. I had a horrible first night. The percocets were not touching my pain, so I called Dr. smiths office. Thank you to Nurse Shelly because she listened! they prescribed me something that works! I found relief.
First day I was also freaking out about uneven nipples. But they seem to get better with the passing days. I see Dr. smith tomorrow and I am excited!
I can't wait to see when they are done being swollen and painful! I am ready to get back into the gym!
I have a few things left on my list but that's for the new year!
I'll try to post pictures as the weeks go on! I can't wait to see what I look like without all this retaining water!
I think Dr. smith is an Artist and I have 2 friends who booked with him, I have 2 more who will see him soon! He's the best in town!
