Dr. Riolo is Simply a Talented and Hard Working Surgeon. - Fresno, CA

Thank you, I'm beyond happy and now I'm a 36B when before I was a DD.

Thank you! I had a hard time finding posts I could relate too, which is really why I had to post. Are you in Cali? It was the best decision I ever made.

You're welcome! I'm in Missouri. I've had two BAs also. One was saline and I had a rupture after 10 years. Replaced with gummy bears, which I've had for 10 years. Both under the muscle. I was in the Mentor study, so I got them before they were FDA-approved. As most of us are, I'm unsure and concerned about what my result might be. I've been fortunate that I've had no problems with my implants in the past and they look and feel as real as possible, although they're way too big for my frame, IMO. I was reading something about implants recently and discovered that even the gummy bears need to be replaced eventually, and that they can rupture, etc. - I thought, I'm not replacing them, I will just get them out! I don't know what chemicals might be leaching into my body. I don't want future surgery hanging over my head. I've also begun recently to get mild pains in my right breast shooting into my arm. It all looks so clear to me now - what have I done to myself?! All these surgeries, all the risk, all the money! I should have left my body alone! It seems like madness in retrospect. I am a Christian now and I think that has given me some clarity and perspective on the situation also. So what if I have small breasts, who really cares, what was the big deal? They're actually better suited to my body overall anyway! I got the initial implants when after breastfeeding they kind of deflated. I was a small B, but no longer pert. So I became a C with the first set. Now I'm a D, as PS had to put in a larger size due to being stretched out with the first set. I actually feel ridiculous and embarrassed that I've done this. If I could get back to myself without looking deformed, I'd be good with that. I would almost certainly need a lift, I'm thinking. What was that like for you pain-wise, recovery-wise, scar-wise? Also did you have a capsulectomy, and if so, how did that affect your recovery? Did you have under-the-muscle implants? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I honestly was so nervous about my results in generally because there are not a lot of before and afters out there that I felt made me wanna go for the surgery at all lol. I found my surgeon via Internet and a friends refferal. My main concern on any surgeons website was, I did not want to go to anyone that posted large breasts on the majority of their cases! I looked for smaller perky breasts with all plastic surgeons I considered for surgery. I really was looking for someone to get me into that small perky breasts arena. If that makes sense!

Yes that does make sense and Thanks for your reply. Sorry I'm thanking you so late. I was off the radar for a while!! Again they look fabulous.
I noticed that you have drains. How long did the Dr. Keep them in? Are you from CA? If not did you stay for a while. I'm from Boston and was wondering if they have an aftercare facility.

Hi! I'm actually bigger than an A, but not quite a full B!

Hi miagu, originally I did in my first pic, I was that bottomed out. My implants were only 350 cc! In my post op pic I have no implants at all, my surgeon just is that amazing!

Thank you, so blessed to have found this surgeon!

Thank you thank you!!

Thank you!!!
