Somehow can’t change the Dr… I went with Body By Z in Rhode Island. Dr Zienowicz

Omg! Made it one week post op and could not be happier with my results. Awaiting to get better pics when I can take tape off at home.

Breast Implant Removal with Lift & Fat Transfer, Tummy Tuck and some Lipo

So it has been 12 years since my initial implant. While I loved them at first and had many great years with an amazing body. It was time to remove them. In between I did have 3 pregnancies and breastfed all 3. As mentioned below I did have problems with one side breastfeeding on. The first two I did breastfed until 2.5 but my last baby I only made it until 5 months because he couldn’t get anything out. My boobs had become increasingly more difficult to wear a bra. I had become a 34H and my back was suffering. I also feel like my energy was dwindling and memory suffered. They were so uncomfortable and heavy I had hard times breathing. I have just felt done with them.

Deciding to do fat transfer was tough! I am hopeful my results will be great. Little nervous about all of it.

So that brings me to today! I was able to meet with DrZ who my friend had surgery with and had amazing results. It all lined up in the stars for me to go ahead and get surgery within two weeks. He did fat transfer and removals which is why I picked him. I am now 4 days out from having surgery. It was def a rough surgery because of the tummy tuck. Now I just await the results.

I have felt instant relief in that I can breathe now!!! Omg is that instantly different. My back is instantly relieved. I am actually so excited to see everything in a week when I get everything off. Tape and compression.

Just updating years later!!

So it’s been awhile. I absolutely loved my implants when I got them. Sadly... I did have some side effects (which I was well aware of to happen) in breastfeeding after lift/implant. I wish I had found more information regarding this as maybe I wouldn’t have had the surgery. I did lose let down and milk supply in my left boob. While I was able to still use one boob, the left, to feed my two babies over the past 3 years. You also lose sensation in your nipples which is a huge draw back. It just really stinks!!

I am possibly going to be looking into having them completely removed. Or severely reduced in size. As I near 40... it doesn’t seem as wonderful to be so big. I miss normal smaller bras.

LOVE Dr. Rex!! I think hes amazing, caring and a great surgeon. Been easy to get ahold of. Hes truthful and it has been a wonderful experience so far. Will post more about him as time goes on!! Called him when concerned about pills, post surg stuff and hes WONDERFUL!! easy to get ahold of. office is wonderful. HIGHLY recommend this surgeon!! I had heard so much about him and glad I went with my gut. He has a great eye and his cut is amazing. I am so happy with my inciscions (that was the part I was most nervous about). His office is very pleasant and the surgical center was amazing. The nurses there very helpful and wonderful. WONDERFUL post op care! Recovery... He has active recovery which is wonderful because most surgeons are "DON'T do this, DON'T, CAN'T!" Hes realistic. Now my friend is going to get a REDUCTION/LIFT that will be covered by her insurance!! IM SO excited for her and can't wait to see how that all goes for her.
