I had breast implant surgery done on July 10th 2013 with 240 cc saline submuscular and under the armpit placement. I had been a 34 A prior. I am 59 yrs old. This was post a facelift in May 2013 and Lipo in 9 2012. All done by the same md. The breasts came out in July being not symetrical due to the fact that originally when my breasts were small the pocket was "deformed" from my youth but no one knew this at the time, least of all me. So my md agreed to redo them at no charge, with silicone and placement scar under the breast. I waited 6 months as per his orders and I am glad I did. We also agreed that since there was such a wide middle between breasts that fat grafting would assist in making it less so. As my md wrote the book literally on liposuction and is considered a world expert he is very good at fat extraction and then the grafting. it has been 3 weeks and so far things look very good. I went up to 300 ( I had wanted to go larger but was constrained by this pocket "deformity" during the second surgery. the scars are placed on one breast underneath where no one can see it and on the other one partially on my breast due to this issue. In time it will heal and not be a problem . I know that it takes time for all of this to settle even up to 6 months. The surgery was long 8 hours due to the time it takes to harvest the fat and steralize it several times and inject it. I of course felt nothing. i had to stay overnight in a hotel with a nurse and my husband which was great as this also took place in the middle of a major snowstorm. The recovery has been good, and I am no longer sore just from time to time on the donor sites from the lipo. We will see what happens down the road but as of now again am very happy I had them redone. When I can upload pictures I will.

Things are getting better. Dropping into place nicely. I know from experience that it takes 6 months to settle in. Still difficult doing "dips " and pull ups with my trainer. Would love to be a bit larger and closer but it is what it is. 50 percent of fat transfer lasted according to my p s with follow up 2 days ago.

My md just told me he is retiring. I am glad for him but now will need to follow up with someone else.

Dr. Pitman was entitled to retire whenever he saw fit.
He was my surgeon for several procedures, and his professional ethics and skill have no equal. I wish him well and great happiness in the many years ahead. He worked hard, always did better than his best, and now deserves his every moment of his retirement. Many blessings to him!

I loved Jerry and he performed 5 procedures on me. I sent him a letter wishing him well and thanking him and he sent me a lovely letter back. I am good friends still with his nurse Susan who continued on with me as a private nurse when I had my next procedure revision with Chris Chia who pitman referred all his patients to. My only comment is that about 6 weeks after I asked him when he might retire and he said no as did Helene his asst who you know he came in one Monday and said he was, leaving me to be referred out. The great news is that since then I have seen 2 other md's who Jerry knew and had 2 revisions and could not be happier with upper eyelid scar revision and breast .
