Breast Implant Revision with Full Mastoplexy-Would recommend Dr. Vath to anyone in Denver
ORIGINAL POST
I got moderate profile smooth round Mentor...
WORTH IT
I got moderate profile smooth round Mentor implants in 2006 with the renowned Garth Fisher in LA.
His work is gorgeous. I loved them. I have worn a full C-cup and loved my boobs for almost ten years.
I had a third baby in 2012 though and after nursing him for a year, my pretty girls moved. A lot. That, combined with the breast tissue fallout that apparently happens more in your late thirties than when I had my first two... And my left breast is a strange shape and my right is noticeably smaller and droopy.
After getting a referral from a local aesthetician in Denver about his work, I went for a consult with Dr. Broadway and have decide to have my surgery Feb. 4th with him. Unfortunately, contrary to when I had them done ten years ago (and all I did was tell Dr Fisher I wanted a "full C cup" and show him one picture and my breasts ended up looking exactly like the picture.. )..Now there are almost too many choices and too many pics and reviews online which makes things harder this time around.
I agonized over tear drop vs round and then pathetically my decision was made for me because, despite being such a famous and good doctor.. Dr. Fisher's office (when I called them to find out what I got the first time) Could NOT tell me which breast had 350ccs and which one has 300!!
They said my records were "in storage" and they couldn't access them because they were over seven years old..
Since I wanted to go a tad bigger that ruled out tear drop due to the increments in which they go up etc and guesswork about the assume try and which side had which amount..they don't go as high in CCs as the others.
Long story..(you'd think for ten grand with Fisher though they'd keep more accurate records)
Needless to say, I have settled on textured, round moderate profile Sientra implants.
Dr. Broadway and staff are incredibly patient with all my questions and responsive and wonderful.
(The ONLY thing I wish he did more of was to be more assertive about what kind of implant he thinks will best go with the combination of my breast tissue type , amount, diameter etc.. They give you all these choices and profiles but don't express much opinion, which I really would like.)
I am super nervous and excited as I loved having the bigger breast I had when I was pregnant this last time (the first two babies were born before BA #1) so if his placement is good I think the slightly bigger size will be really pretty and help fill out my lower breast enough to raise my nipples a bit...and I am eager to fix the assymetry I now have.
You cannot even tell very well from these pics (which don't look as weird as they do in person) but the right one (when my nipples are cold ;) is really droopy and low and smaller than the left.
And it's incredible how different cc oil on different frames!
My mind has been blown away looking at this site over the last couple of weeks in trying to decide because one woman's 300 ccs can look like a double D while another's 435's can look smaller! My current 300/350ccs look like a small B at some angles..
Again, all the added info makes it even harder to make a decision;-)
Needless to say I am 4 days to my surgery date.. So rubbing my boobs with Hibicleanse like a madwoman and putting antibiotic ointment in my nostrils (anti infection preventative measures he mandates which I thought were impressive ) and have stopped taking my EFA's,etc..
So stay tuned.
Please weigh in on any experiences with the textured moderate round sientras?

You can see how they have moved/ changed noticeably. Love his work so excited to see how Dr. Broadway can restore these babies:-) This time around at 120 lbs am actually 5 lbs heavier than when I first had them done..so that should help:-)

Wow! They were gorgeous before! I bet you can't for that again! I'm sure deciding size is extra hard, since you don't really know what youre starting with... As far as how much breast tissue you have. I would think though you would want to get in the 400s.

Good luck!!! What have you decided on as far as implant and size?? I went with the gummy Bears - love them :) I'm sure you'll look amazing no matter what!!!

February 2, 2015
Gummy bears and somewhere between 435 and 505s but we have no idea per side as my original surgeon can't give us accurate records of what is on either side. Can you imagine?? Dr. Broadway gives you an ID card with exactly what implants and what serial numbers are in either side for exact this reason. I never thought I'd got that big..but look at the pics..my once rounded 350 ccs (appprox.) ..are looking fairly tiny from the front after nursing again..so guess I lost a to of breast tissue..ugh. that also makes the choice tough though.either way.D Day is in 3.5 days so stay tuned:-)

It is a hard decision- you just want them to look amazing and beautiful :) breast feeding does change the breast so much! It sounds like you have a great doctor and are in good hands :) go a little bigger than what you think you want - you'll adapt quickly! Can't wait to hear how it goes! :)

I love my gummy Bears - they are soft already- much more so than my saline implants were :)

Good luck. My surgery is February 6th. I am getting Mentor moderate profile. PS deciding my size to make me a small D. Why did you decide on textured?

February 2, 2015
My surgeon loves them but to be completely honest am so torn. They have lower rate of capsule contracture so by hard a for bare plus. .but can be more firm so am torn.
They also tend to move less so by hat was my major decision as I am doing a revision precisely because mine moved a bit after the first time - yet..originally they were gorgeous and I enjoyed them for 9 years which is about the life of an implant if you asked a surgeon.
either way..WAY too many choices thisbto me around..makes it harder and doctors are so scared of litigation they won't commit to a choice for you the way they used to..

No longer getting textured! !
New PS said with my thin frame..smooth round better..:)

I have just had Motiva Ergonomix silk surface. Only 10 days post revision with uplift and they are softening up and feeling more natural every day. I had cc and rupture with my previous silicone implants (they were 20 years old) so a lot of surgery to get over this time round in removing cc and leaked silicone in my right breast. I only had 230cc put in, as I only want 34C, which this has given me. However, I wish I had gone a bit bigger now, so I reckon 400's would probably give you what you want. I am 120lbs 5'3" and I think that's what I should have gone for. You can see my post on this site. Susie
