I am 5'5", 156 lbs, and loving life. Had a BL and BA with 375 in left breast and 350 in right.I was heavy as a kid until age 16 and lost 60lbs within 2 years. Last year I lost another 15 lbs, and my breasts suffered from it. They have always been uneven, but after the weight loss at 16 the girls had given up. Last summer was the worst in a bathing suit. I would literally cut out one side of a padded bra and sew it in the left side of my bathing suit to match my right side which had no padding. I was ready for a change.So, the journey began.... After a humbling consultation and one recommendation from a friend. I found my PS. I was immediately at ease and ready to sign up! I can't believe that I am sitting here writing this review and it has come and gone and now I am healing!!!!It took me a year to get serious about wanting this. (Finally frustrated with my bathing suit). Then a few more months to get up the courage to actually call and get a consultation. That left me sad because I did NOT connect with the first Dr. And once you actually hear all that is wrong with your breasts you see them differently... I never loved them or hated them but now they were uneven, more than ever before, and I was told I had tuberous breast. I just thought it was because I had been overweight for so long and the recent deflation after weight loss. What a good feeling to know that something was actually wrong with them! So I kept looking and praying. A few more months passed and a friend told me about her experience with her PS. She had implants years ago by him and just recently had a double mastectomy and she chose the same PS to do her reconstruction after the DM. Wow! That speaks volumes. Plus, she is a good friend who I dearly trust. I met with him, his nurse and his staff several times and felt connected not only to him but his entire staff. It was a night and day difference. I was nervous having only 2 consultations, like I should keep looking "just because". But, I didn't want to. I just liked him. This was a huge decision for me and my husband. I had a lot of guilt, he didn't :) But a good friend reminded me how God cares for even the private things in our lives. What a beautiful way to describe His love. I am so thankful for this journey. By the way, I never blog or posts much on any site. But this is like therapy. I have truly enjoyed following along with so many of you. Thank you for being transparent. I have learned so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion about your doctor.

I would love to add your experience to the Breast Lift with Implants community, but it would be helpful if you could provide some more detail about your experience with your procedure/treatment. I suggest adding before and after photos - optional of course, so that other community members can use your review as a guide throughout their journey.

Thank you for opening up, I'm at the beginning stages of researching docs- I'm 35 no kids and wondering bc I'm getting married this year if I should go now or wait a couple years until after kids? Any experience or wisdom you could offer would be much appreciated :)

It's really hard to see how uneven they are in the pics.

Can't seem to get my pictures to post. Here are a few more before pics.
Bra size, 38C-36C really didn't fill either out. Just used it to make them appear even.
