WORTH IT
Third time is the charm. I had unsuccessful breast lifts with implants twice. Both times the implants were placed too high and I had fallout within weeks. After years of being disappointed with how I looked with essentially boob tubes and partially ruptured encapsulated implants I found out about the Laser Bra. I researched and read about it off and on for a long time wanting to make sure the technique was good and results long lasting. I knew I wanted to go to Dr Stevens or Stoker for the surgery since they were the pioneers. By the time I was ready to choose, Dr Stoker had his own independent practice. I studied the before and after photos from both Drs websites and was surprised to see Dr Stokers photo results are on both his and the other site. Dr Stokers site has only his work. Once I determined who's results were who's I decided on Dr Stoker. I was looking for a pretty breast profile. I want to look good braless and his results looked fantastic and natural.

I am now almost three weeks post BL, with Laser bra technique, implant extraction and replacement, Custom TT due to hernia, BBL and lipo to hips, flanks and inner thighs. I traveled to CA and returned home to East coast two weeks later.

Dr Stoker removed my old implants which were calcified, partially ruptured and unflattering to say the least. He put in sub pectoral implants, much smaller and 4 inches lower. Having used the laser to create an internal bra will keep me perky for years. I am 52 and my breasts look (all of me actually)the best they have since having my children 26 years ago. I had less bruising and less pain this time for the breast surgery.

My husband and I are so pleased with the early results which I am posting. I will post again as I heal and the final results are easier to see once the swelling subsides.

I wish I had done this all sooner.

Congratulations! I'm happy to hear that you are pleased with your results and your PS. Sounds like you had a lot done....and, the third time is a charm! Just curious, how many cc's did you get with each set of implants? I bet the internal bra will do the trick this time. Hope the healing is going well. Please keep us posted!

Seems better but I measured myself and I am bigger now, but look better, don't get it. Some of my old clothes fit, and a dress fit best it has since I got it. I am due to take off the binder, so I sent some photos to my Dr to make sure it is still ok. Ihope to post some more photos soon. Beth, since i had so many things done, where is it best to post photos?

I sent you a PM suggesting we move your review to a Mommy Makeover where you'll find a community of women who have done a myriad of similar procedures at once. Then you can post all your photos in one review and update only one review. Looking forward to your response!

Laser lift is the way to go. They crete an inner bra put of your own breast tissue, what most docs discard when doing a lift.n dr stoker snd Stevens were the first docs doing it. Dr Stoker is so very good st it.

I know what you've been through I'm getting my third revision because my implant won't drop down like the left breast did and also there is some extra skin hanging under the nipple I can't stand it . So I hope third time the charm for me too. I hope all goes well for you and me and anybody else that is through this journey.

Thanks, the left breast is still more swollen, hoping they even out. I will post. N

Yes it is...I've noticed my left is slightly bigger than my right and my right dropped way faster than my left.   In my preop pics I could see that my right was higher than my left.  I am right handed..not sure if that's what did it or not.
