WORTH IT$11,700
Everything is going fine, but it’s been about 10 years since my original surgery, in about nine years since I unfortunately had to have a revision because of capsular contracture, so looking back on all of this and now that small boobs are actually cool as hell, and maybe because I now have a 15-year-old daughter, I definitely say that this is just not worth it. It’s probably because of the pandemic, and the loss of my father, and all of the tragedy of the world…So take this with a grain of salt if you are deciding, but So take this with a grain of salt if you are deciding, but really? If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t have listened to a good friend who said it was worth it, and I would have saved the 20 grand for one of my three children’s college. But, to each, her own, for sure. I only expected to pay about $6000 for the surgery, but within a year, I had to redo everything

I am doing just fine. The girls are the perfect size and feeling I was looking for. I'm still in awe a year later, every single day. Wanted to post recent photos. Can't wait for my second summer with them (last summer they were still healing)

Do you think under the muscle is softer than over, without cc of course? Or were you always firm with overs (like me!)? Did you go with 350 mod or high profile? I have probably stage2 cc, not sure if Ii can live with it yet. Not sure how much of this firmness is due to hp or cc

I mean Grade 2! (not stage)

I felt the implant with my overs from day one. Can't feel it at all with unders and Strattice. I love my unders. I never was firm with overs; it's just when my first doc suggested overs I was game.

Hi there...saw your umbilical hernia pics. Looks just like mine! May I ask what you decided to do? I'm 46...a runner of 20+, had 2 c-sections. get bits of pain with abdominal work-outs...other than that...just a protruding belly button. Hole is about the width of my pointer finger. Any insight very much appreciated! Ann

I never knew I had a hernia until I went in for my appendix that was exploding, LOL, so while he was in there, the surgeon decided to fix it. I could feel a little separation of the muscle during my three pregnancies, but otherwise I’ve never had issues with it

I love Dr Boynton!!! I am so impressed with his work!! It's been almost 5 months since the revision but it feels like over a year -- they feel sooooo soft and squishy and perfectly mine. I no longer need padded bras but I wear underwire because Doc said to support, support, support. So at night I wear a medium support sports bra too. Mostly I'm in yoga or running clothes 7 days a week, so regular bras are for dressing up!! Yoga is feeling perfectly fine, even chataranga (low push-up) is fine now, no more weird feeling. I still don't feel totally comfortable rock climbing (because of the animation deformity feeling), and I'm about to start managing the yoga program at a climbing gym, so bummer -- but maybe that will change. All is well. Thanks to all you lovely supportive ladies. I hope my journey can help you -- we are all in this together, right?!!!

Hi thanks very much for sharing! Your bbs look amazing. I'm about to have my second revision for CC. Can you tell me if your implants were round or teardrop? Do you know the dimensions? Mine are 280cc high profile from 14 years ago with cc look east/west. I am athletic too and we gave a similar frame size and I really don't know what to go for.. With cc the high profile I have looks too high, but I'm afraid if I go for teardrop (less the cc) that I will be disappointed. Many thanks! (@:

I have 350 HP and I wouldn't want any smaller or more of a teardrop look, at all. Best of luck to you!!!
