I had had implants at age 40. Absolutely loved them. After breast feeding my son, the nice perky [RS bleep] I had looked like deflated balloons. I saved for ever and had saline, sub Q implants done. At age 58, I felt that they looked too large and were really sagging so I researched what I thought would be a top doc. I should have gone with my gut and not gone through with it. I saw the Dr. ONCE before surgery. Did not get to look at any type of implants, he had already decided what he was doing. I never got a lift, just a nipple reduction and the size of the implany reduced which produced a saggier breast and a horrible look. I won't show my husband my breasts at all, have seen 2 other doctors that have told me what I got was NOT a lift, a breast cannot be lifted by a nipple reduction, the implant is too small, plus I did NOT want my nipples reduced. Although really large, I have always liked them. My husband can't even look. He said "Oh my God, he cut your nipples off!!".Really unhappy and now have to be out another $15,000 to have them replaced and repaired. I really did not want to go under general anesthia again either. Look at my pics. IS this a lift?????

I think your boobs look really nice. They are much prettier now. I would trade those boobs of yours any day for my own :) Really, I think that your doc did a nice job for you and your girls look amazing.

I recently had surgery with the same doctor and I'm also unhappy with my results. I was also never shown options and now they look saggy. I also had liposuction but don't see any results. He was such. Good doctor from what I had heard before. He's trying to charge me to fix what I think are his mistakes. Mine are not what I expected. I'm so sorry. I am also one year post op.

Did you ever have your issues corrected? Did he charge you? How are you doing now?
