WORTH IT$5,100
I first had augmentation with Dr Tebbetts in Dec '05. I traveled to Dallas on the recommendation of my sister who worked for another plastic surgeon in Dallas. He offers "24 Hour Recovery" which I know is hard to believe, but true! My ex husband is a physician. He came along to meet Dr Tebbetts and was very impressed. I had surgery on a Friday. I was only under for 30 minutes.
Afterwards I could lift my arms over my head immediately. I then went back to the hotel with a nurse that the office booked for me, took a 2 hour nap, and then the nurse woke me up, made sure I ate, and had me take my Ibuprofen. Then I walked across the street to the mall and shopped for 3 hours. I tried on tops over my head with no problem. I went back for my check the next morning, flew home, and went to my husbands Xmas party two nights later. I never took anything stronger than Ibuprofen.
One of my saline implants deflated shortly after a mammo last month. I went back to Dr Tebbetts and had both saline implants removed and replaced with Silicone. The experience was exactly the same. I never took anything stronger than 800 mg of Ibuprofen. Had surgery on Friday, back to work on Monday, no problem. I can't recommend him strongly enough and can't believe anyone would go through normal recovery when there is no reason to. He will not give you implants that are not in proportion to your frame. If you want huge implants that will cause you to sag in a few years, he won't give them to you. He has a very specific formula to measure what's right for your frame and good reasons for doing so. In 7 years, I haven't had any noticeable sagging at all. They look SO natural. I went from a 36B to a 36C w a 320 cc implant. The first doctor I consulted with would have given my 550's and I would have looked ridiculous. (IMHO :) His staff is super professional and caters to your every need.

what about hardening?
October 17, 2016
I had mine done by him in March of 2005. Saline smooth. I missed his trial for the new gummy bear by 1 week. I never had hardening, pain, my scar under my breast is almost gone after all this time. I have certain area under my breast that is kind of numb but that's normal. I did not want around my nipple and I am glad I didn't choose that. Just a word about the Dr. some people thinks he is arrogant. Well he might be. He will NOT but large implants in if it doesn't go with your body type, period. He might even start an argument if you ask for a large size. Even after saying all this I would never ever trust another Dr. period. No pain pills, ( I had some on standby), tiny bruising, no special bra to wear, no drain tube ( mine under muscle), walking around and having dinner hours later. It's no lie, I lived it. Fabulous Dr!!!!!
The rapid recovery sounds amazing. I'd love to learn more of the science behind it. Thank you for sharing!
