Team NoBra I ruined new boobs

WORTH IT$5,000
Do I still love them ?
So I still cry thinking of being w.o them?
Yes ...
but I think wearing no bra too soon , I’ve ruined them ? One looks like it slipped from under muscle . Kinda looks like a man boob now.
I kinda dislike how far apart they’ve gotten .
I do wish they had been placed above the muscle .
They still look great in a bra , my nipples are kinda the best part of my life now so I really don’t want them cut off again for a revision.
Do I leave them far apart & Uneven?
I really want a BBL this year & the co-ordinator suggested I get a mommy make over .
Kinda hurt my feelings since I’ve already spent 10k on a new Tummy & Breast after 2 kids & a 90lb lost.
Maybe after a BBL I will look more portioned ?

Have you talked to any Plastic Surgeons since posting this? I have the same issue (my implant looks too high and my breast looks like it’s falling off the implant) and I was told by my new PS that other steps should’ve been taken to prevent this.
ORIGINAL POST

He Knew What I Needed

I waited 1 year to write my review.
I wanted all those ups and down, mixed emotions of surgery to pass first.
I actually felt sad & frantic scrolling through my camera roll when looking to find my “after” pics for this review.
I didn’t realize what a scary place it is to be unhappy in your own skin.
I originally booked my breast lift with implants with a different dr. Who had performed my tummy tuck.
The office Mel Ortega works with was going through some transitions, ( spectrum aesthetics) . My original dr abdonded me & Spectrum offered me Ortega at a complimentary rate.
Blessing in disguise!!!
I admit , things can get a little rough with waiting time and paper work with this office . BUT they WILL try to right their wrongs and make you happy in the end .
However, once you get to Ortega. You will be satisfied .
Immediately upon looking at me, he noted I had slight scoliosis & that he would size the implants to give me symmetry.
I have a small frame, yet he selected a size and implant method that worked with my body shape & the fact that I wanted very perky breast , yet only a small amount of skin could be removed for lift.
I got very anxious waiting for my surgery
( almost dressed & ran out )
The only thing I can remember before going under, is Ortega petting my arm, smiling & telling me all would be well.
For my healing I took vitamin C, & B
I honestly didn’t need the pain killers after 3-4 days.
I wore the bra for the 1st month & couldn’t take it any more lol
The breast band really helps ! It provides comfort. Support & built amazing cleavage.
In 1 year, my scars are slowly dissipating
( I use coconut oil daily )
My incision lines are neat, thin , I only had 1 suture spit .
I can’t do push ups still & ive gotten weak during recovery .
During ovulation, they do feel heavy / zapping pains .
All in all , I feel so blessed and happy every single day I look at my breast .
I hope this review gives comfort and peace to all the beautiful strong women going through this journey of self empowerment and acceptance.
Thank you Dr Mel Ortega
