I decided that I will be doing a ba revision with dr. Krau. He is a ba revision specialist and has a renowned technique to reduce scarring which result from the ba lift.

Let me share some of my ba journey with you:

My natural breast were a D cup, but my breast were very saggy. When I went for consultations for my ba, the ps said the sagging was likely genetic. I wanted to have a lift only, which I could have done, but I would have had to go down two cup sizes because I would lose breast tissue, etc. The docs recommended that I do a lift with i plans if I wanted to retain my cup size. I decided to do the implants. I don't regret the decision at all, but I DO regret being naive about the ps that I chose.

I had consults with 4-5 surgeons. There were two that I really loved their work, but their prices were too high for me at that time so I went with a cheaper ps. Honestly, I didn't fancy his before and after pics as much as the other two, and he was very pushy. Back then, there was no rs and Internet wasn't what it is right now, so Internet research wasn't as common as it is now.

The ps that I chose WAS board certified. I would say thAt my intuition however kinda told me to go with the more expensive doc and to just be patient and save more money. I do regret ignoring my intuition, but u live and u learn. Thank goodness I made it through the sx safely, but there were issues with the results. I wouldn't say that my sx was totally botched, but one breast was never lifted properly. My ps acknowledged this and told me that he would fix this at no charge and that I should come back in 6 months. When 6 months came around, I called him and his phone was disconnected. I then decided to do an Internet search to find his phone number because I thought his office may have moved. I inadvertently found out that a major news network aired a news segment on him a few weeks after my sx because he had botched so many of his patients' surgeries, and one patient died. After researching more, I found that this patient died only One month before my sx - pretty scary! Again, This ps WAS board certified, but he ended losing his license before he could redo my breast.

Thank God for rs and the current state of the Internet. It makes it so simple to research.

So, anyways, I was left with one saggy breast which has never been fixed. I decided to go to someone who specializes in BREAST IMPLANT REVISION because once a ba is done, breast tissue has been manipulated, removed, etc. therefore, a person who already had a ba will likely not have the same result as a person who never had a ba.

I considered dr. Hochstein who did kim zolciak's breast (Rhoa) and is rumored to have done a few [RS bleep] models. Just learned that His wife is also on real housewives of Miami. His revisions are good too,but dr. Krau is undoubtedly the revision master! His hands are blessed! He can make a botched job look amazing! He also sold me on his technique which claims to leave less scarring which is a plus for me. Dr. Salz was another ps that I considered because I've seen his revisions, and he does a great job as well, but dr. Krau actually is a specialist in ba revisions. I also considered dr. Engler, but I haven't seen much of his revision work. He needs to update his site because he is an amazing ba doc, but he needs to give more details abt his revision work.

I currently have saline but will switch to silicone, round high prof baby! I don't know the ccs yet, but it will b under the muscle.

I plan to have sx with him in the nxt few months. Still trying to iron out the details now, but I am excited to finally have this thing fixed.

Pics will be posted closer to the sx date. . .

Congratulations!! I am very happy with my revision so far (even though its only 11 days) but I think Dr Krau has an amazing energy and confidence that really shows through his work. Cant wait to follow your journey. Dont worry about size yet, Dr Krau did sizers for me during surgery based on wish pics and so far so good. Congrats!

Hi, everyone. So my surgery was successful! Thank God! This sx was way less painful and difficult than my bbl sx. Actually my 1st ba wasn't as painful as the bbl sx, that's why the bbl pain shocked the bleep out of me lol. I was driving after the first 24 hours lol. I did NOT take any meds before driving tho, not even hours before driving because the pain meds make u very sleepy. I only took oxycodone a few hrs after sx and the night of day 2. When I had pain afterwards, I took Tylenol extra strength only. Anyway, Here is a summary of my surgery experience.

right before sx, Dr. Krau again went over the procedure with me. I had breast reduction with an anchor breast lift and silicone implants. I wanted to stay the same size (D cup) so I didn't know how many ccs I got until after sx because so much excess tissue was removed in addition to my old implants. I ended up getting 750 ccs. It sounds huge, but it actually fits my body perfectly and it is in line with what I want. I'm very swollen know, but I am convinced that, in my opinion, I will look exactly (if not very close) to my wish pics :)

I had moderate pain right after sx mostly seemed to be around the incision areas. It felt kind of like a burning sensation, and little tightness around the chest due to the breast strap, but it wasn't unbearable. I was prescribed oxycodone which completely knocked out the pain.

Here are some pics

It won't let me go back to the last few days so it looks my surgery has happened yet. I will rate Dr. Krau after March 1 because it won't allow me to rate him ("stars")
