Heading to Miami because these doctors here in Maryland are outrageous with their prices. Some of their works are just too average for me. Hope Spectrum can help me. I like their price, because am not sure if my insurance will approve, even tho I have an awesome blue cross blue shield insurance, that my husband pays almost $300 a month for! I just want to Get rid of this giant heavy boobs, praying for no more neck pain, shoulder pain, headache etc. I gained so much weight from laying down bcs my shoulder and neck constantly hurts, I can't even work out like a normal gal!....stay tuned!

Good luck to you and congrats on your decision. Just think of all the cute tops you will be able to wear! I've made a few new purchases that I NEVER would have considered even trying on before. Keep us posted.

Has anyone gotten a DDD breast reduction and then had to have a saline implant for upper fullness from Dr Ortega? How did it go and if you can post PIC . he suggested for me to have just a reduction and a lift, but I don't think I will have a nice sexy cleavages.... Kinda tired of lifting bras and wire bras, double strap bras etc... After I have been suffering from all these neck & shoulder pain... I just want to throw on a soft simple bra or tube top and off I go...am confused on what to do...now.

I was a 40DD/40DDD down to what I think will be a full C/D. I actually had fat transfer/lipo to the upper poles for fullness and cleavage. I'm not sure I see much of a difference between my breasts and the ones on here that only had the reduction/lift. Personally, when breasts are as large as ours, I don't think it is really necessary for any "help" with the fullness/cleavage. If I had to do it again, I would have skipped the attempt to fill the cleavage. I had plenty there to work with and could have done without the "extra" work that was done on my body (though the lipo did help my stomach look a little better, it added to recovery) ....

Yes,, stayed about 6 days. There was no one to watch my son. I flew bk with drains. And then bk again to get it taken off. Travelling is a breeze to me. Plus I work EMT & emergency services for the army. I don't recommend anything I do. Unless u r trained with travelling, emergency etc.
