Hello , I am here because i want to share my experience with all of you . I have had 3 breast procedures in the past 4 years . my very first breast procedure was breast augmentation in 2009 , I was and A cup and wanted to be Full B cup , well unsatisfied with the breast size that i got after surgery (Full D) which was not what i had asked for , i underwent another surgery a year later for implant replacement to a smaller size according to my desired cup (full B, small C) my surgeon never told me he had to perform a lift and while i was under anesthesia my surgeon ran out of the operating room to ask my husband for a signature on the procedure he was about to perform ( i was under anesthesia so i did not agree to this ) so i ended up with a weird procedure in my breast , which was a lift on my right breast and a scar on my left ? i don't know what happened but i was not satisfied the second time . so insecure of myself i consulted another surgeon and just ask for implant removal in 2012 , now i am going to go with a breast lift to repair the damage that was done to my breasts. i hope everything goes well and i finally get what i want . My new doctor has made me feel comfortable and has understood the damage I've been through and i can't wait to see how my new breast will look after he fixes them , i have the consultation on dec 16 and looking forward to schedule my breast lift procedure ! i will keep updating pictures of my breast before and after

I am so sorry for all your bad experiences! I had a lift with implants in 1999 and was extremely unhappy with the results! I recently had my giant and ugly implants removed and a special kind of lift done called a dermal bra suspension that only 2 doctors in the country do. I love the results and no more sagging...ever! The cost for my explant and lift was $8500 in two separate procedures (this allows the blood supply to the nipple to not be compromised ) Check out my pics if you are interested in exploring another option! Good luck!

hi , my breast lift is also a two stage procedure since my doctor also recommended removing the implants and waiting 3-6months to get my breast lift for the exact same reason to let my skin shrink and to allow the blood supply to the nipple . my doctor is one of the best surgeons in Texas and i Believe also one of the best in the US. i went to check out your pictures and your doctor did an amazing job ! you look fantastic ! thank you for your comment and ill keep this post updated with more pictures when my procedure is done !

I am really glad to hear that you have an excellent surgeon! I used to live in Houston and had great experiences with doctors there! Maintaining the blood supply and allowing the time between surgeries is so important, yet many don't do it. I mentioned in my posts that I have also had regeneration of nerve endings and have sensation again in my left breast after 14 years of numbness! So happy I had it done! Can't wait to see your results! Give yourself plenty of time to heal afterward!

did you get tear drop at one point.. honestly i would just stick to round.. ive heard many people complain about teardrop implants shifting ..
December 4, 2013
As a matter of fact I did , and I told my doctor that I wanted the round implants but he insisted that I should go with the teardrop for a more natural look! And yes I hate the teardrop shape. I'm getting smooth round high profile mentor implants this time.
