Not really feeling my breasteses.
So it's been about a year and a half post op for me and I feel it's time for my final verdict on my procedure.
I'm not happy with my results at all. The profile, the placement, the scarring is horrible!
I have mentor 800 cc silicone mod+ placed under muscle.
Let's start with The profile: it's way to wide in this size (800cc). I think this profile looks better in anything under 400-500cc ?
Or someone with wider Ribcage because I'm pretty narrow and these implants stick way out over the width of my ribs. they get in the way of the my arm movements. I also hate how they look while laying down as They fall to the sides of my armpits.
The dr. Was pushing for this particular profile as its his favorite and I was scared to get that melon look so I went with it. :-/
I went with "under the muscle" because being ignorant, I assumed it meant completely under, therefore ( less noticeable implants) I thought it meant being held or completely supported and concealed by the muscle. Well not true! Depending on what type of bra I wear, my breasts still looks "enhanced" and especially in a push up bra. Also while being nude and lying down they look unnatural, weird. Not to mention if i move my chest or arm muscle in any sort of way, the breasts spread and look sorta disfigured and distorted.
The doctor: I went to this particular PS because a friend of mine and her cousin went to him as well. I didn't take into consideration that they had different body types, breasts etc. they both got smaller implants than me and they also got saline.
I was just glad they didn't have any complications and seemed happy with their results.
During my procedure he admitted that he tore my left side incision while placing my implant, you can see where he cut it, it's a clean line and where it actually tore, it's jagged. the scar extends out about 5 or 6 inches! (I still get a little Pain in that área).
Plus, The incisions are really wide and the skin looks thin, particularly under My right breast, you can see the rippling of the implant through the incision!
I'll post pics soon.
He also did a little crescent lift around my arreolas . The left incision looks bad, it is lumpy and crooked ( I have to flatten it out with my finger) while the right incision looks good, it is straight and flat. Hardly visible.
I'm sure Dr. Ralston is great surgeon, he's board certified, professional and pretty popular around here and surrounding area but I feel he doesn't have much experience in the larger sized implants. Especially being here in Utah the people are pretty conservative.
He did not meet my needs and my post op outcome is slightly botched therefore I cannot recommend him especially for the larger sized implants.

Dr. Ralston is a well respected plastic surgeon around Utah and surrounding areas and he is professional. But I feel he does not have enough experience in performing breast augmentations with large sized implants. He did not meet my needs or my expectations. Im not happy with my outcome and feel slightly botched due to his obvious lack of expertise in the larger sized implants particularly 800 cc silicone. therefore I cannot recommend him for this.
