Thank you for posting this! I’m going to save her contact info for future use! Your results are awesome! Dr. Krau does beautiful work. If you have time, can you post updated photos?! Also, are your implants Mentor?!
Thank you so much! Yes they’re mentor smooth, round, silicone.
hi! if you get this can you tell me about vertical lift? I don’t see any scars going down the bottom of your breast! is it only through the nipple? thanks!
Hi Lovely53! Yes there re vertical scars on mine - the wish pics don’t have them but yes mine was a vertical lift. After the surgery they just looked like neat incisions but now, 8 months on I have developed a bit of ropes scarring down the right breast. I will send the pics to dr Krau and ask his advice (I’ve heard cortisone injections help to break them up) but other than that I’m sooo happy with the outcome! Apparently the redness in the scars fade after about a year in people with fair skin. Also be aware if you or family members tend to get keloid scarring and let your surgeon know. X
Hello I know it's been a while ... I am also traveling for surgery from Texas and might be having to go alone. How much is it per day for Olga's services ?

Day 7

Hi All, I wanted to update you on my experience with Dr Krau. It's Day 14 today but I'm posting a pic from my day 7 check up when the tapes were removed. Dr Krau was thrilled with the results. I had a vertical lift with no horizontal incisions and 425cc implants. He had said I didn't necessarily need a lift unless I wanted them really perky which is exactly what I wanted so he did a lift but didn't need to take much skin at all. My healing process was so smooth and I put that down to 1. Dr Krau's work. He really is a master and so gentle and 2. The help of Olga, the nurse I hired for the first 3 nights. She was an absolute angel and I have no idea how I could have done it without her. She woke every four hours to give me my meds, set up my bed so that I could be sleeping comfortably upright and even woke every time I needed to get up to go to the bathroom to help me out of bed. I also found her so reassuring with every concern I had (since she has also been through a similar surgery herself she has so much empathy for what we are going through). Each time I was a little worried about something going wrong she would reassure me that I was on track. I am so grateful to her and would highly recommend her services for any of you girls travelling to Miami alone. Now I'm day 14 and still taking care with not lifting anything to heavy and still not lying on my side but it's starting to feel more natural and a little less swollen though they haven't dropped yet. I will start the scar treatment tomorrow. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to let me know! Will keep you posted!

too* heavy (sorry)
Your boobies look fantastic Buffie .. glad you're happy with both procedures you've had done in the US. You're an inspiration for those of us who want to follow in your footsteps. x
Aw thank you so much, Aussie friend! :) Sooo happy I did it! :) Xx
pre-op size?
Hello! I was a 34C before.
Hey love! hope all is well. You look amazing! Happy Healing!!
Thank you so much, Kandiheaven! They’re settling in and starting to feel more natural now. Psychologically I guess I’m still adjusting to the change in my appearance because I dress quite modestly and don’t like attracting attention but I guess it just takes time for it to feel normal. I just read our update. You’ve been so brave and have such a good attitude! How are you healing from your second op! Praying you have a smooth, incident free recovery!
aww I was honestly the same way! Bow I don’t mind sowing just a tad bit more of my chest but not to look crazy hahaha. But I’ve been recovering so nicely. My PS and his staff took such good care of me. I’m truly blessed to have found them. It hard at first though looking at and seeing yourself one way and now everything is where it should be or better then where it should be. Takes a great deal of time for adjusting but I promise you’ll fall in love with the new you even more. :-) I can’t wait to take my bandeau off and burn it hahaha, I despise this thing hahaha!!!
they are absolutely gorgeous. I am so very happy for you good luck sweetheart and God bless you I know the feeling I’m describable but thank God at last finally thank you Dr. thank you the best surgeon everrrrrrr !!!!!!
Thank you so much! :)

Hurricane possible delay

Hi All! I got an email from Dr Krau's office saying they are still without power post Hurricane Irma and that all appointments this week will be postponed. Poor things, and there must be so many people there without AC in that humid weather. So I'm not sure what this will mean for my surgery date. Will keep you guys posted.
