To Implant or Not to Implant

Something to consider when deciding whether to get implants

So I went and tried on dresses for the holidays. I have broad shoulders so sometimes I will just fit into my size but if I were bigger on top I’d have to go up in size. I found a dress that looked nice but I would have had to size up if I had gotten implants and. then the waist would have been too big. So just something to consider when deciding.

Good point! That was one thing I didn’t really think about bef getting my prior 400cc implants. I felt really fat in many different types of clothing. And with my to 225cc I felt like I had lost 10 lbs in terms of size. And honestly if I had known I was going to turn out as large as I did I probably would’ve skipped the implants completely. To respond to your message to me below. It’s not unusual at this stage for the incisions to be red. Some call this the “angry phase “ of scar healing. I’m 7 mon postop of my revision (just did an update) and some of my incisions are still a little angry. I’m not too concerned though. With prior surgeries it’s taken over a year for my incisions to turn white. I’m sure yours will eventually fade into nice thin lines. Good luck and happy healing!

Here is a scar picture I took a couple of days ago. The incisions look really thin.

You are looking wonderful! Dr Vaths incision work is truly amazing! This was one of the reasons I went with him :)

Your scars look great! Dr. Vath’s flawless incision work in addition to his aesthetic artistry and eye (for what makes a beautiful breast) was the reason I choose him to do my surgery. I hope you continue to heal well… :-)

Thanks. I hope you are well too. I know. There is red around the incisions but the incisions themselves are really thin. The red is fading though and I think once it fades the incisions themselves will be really thin.

Bad experience made me appreciate Dr. Vath’s office.

So I had an appointment for skin care the other day at a place in Boulder and arrived 4 minutes early for my appointment. Basically the esthetician just started another hour appointment before I came in. I was told this by the other esthetician who seemed surprised when she saw me waiting. She rescheduled me and said she felt bad and it wasn’t really her job to deal with the front desk but the front desk person was out. She texted the doctor ‘s wife about this but didn’t hear back. I had taken a break from work, drove 20 minutes for the appointment so I’m frustrated. So on the way back to work my 3:00 client texted me wanting to know if he could come later. Right away I called the place back to say I could come later bc she had mentioned that there was availability later. I got the voicemail and nobody called me back. I think that’s lame ! I had an appointment. This is my busy season and I’m self employed so I lost money. I work by appointment too and at first I wasn’t mad bc mistakes happen. But I’m not very happy bc I feel like someone in charge could have reached out with a simple apology. An apology goes a long way. I’ve had other services here and there was one other time I had some questions about a product and I feel like the customer wasn’t the worst but definitely not the greatest. Anyway just venting. It makes me appreciate Dr. Vath’s office. There was one time Kari accidentally overlooked one of my emails and then sent me an email saying she was really sorry. And that was just an email, not a whole appointment! What do you ladies think? I thought of writing a review with both the positive and negative. I hate to give a negative review but I feel like that’s the only way to let the doctor know what I think and I did like the doctor and his services.

I think you should write a review.. people should be aware of this stuff, especially considering other MAJOR surgerys. I certainly would like to know about this sort of thing if I am looking into services somewhere, and I’d rather not waste my valuable time and/or money. ;-)
