See a new doctor

So I've been seeing anew doctor to try and fix my breast and I'm not 100% on what he is suggesting. I've already been through this twice. I just want nice breast that sit properly.

I've put off posting a review for some time now...

I've put off posting a review for some time now however I did write one about 3 months after initial surgery and just never posted it.

Here it is;

I've always wanted large breast and felt like less of a woman with the tiny ones I had (had an 34A before).I thought about it since I was a teenager and my mom and aunts all have large breast so I really associated this with womanhood.

At the time I lived in Ottawa and after going to 3 consultations with different plastic surgeons I decided to go with Dr. Silverman because of his reputation. I knew that I wanted a 34 DD as this would match my 37 inch hips and even my top and bottom giving me the hour glass figure. No surgeon would guarantee the final size as it would depend on how they sit once the surgery was over.

I tried various sizes and ended up getting the largest that Dr. Silverman was comfortable with, which was 475cc high projection. I decided to get them sub-pectoral as this would give me a more "natural" look. I was told to get my own sports bras for the recovery which seemed a little strange.

The day of the surgery, I was excited and anxious. I arrived at the hospital and ended up waiting an hour before getting my IV. This made me even more nervous. My mom was with me and reassured me. (Thank goodness for my mother, I don't know what I would do with out her).

I went into the surgery room and the next thing I remember the nurse was taking my blood pressure in the recovery room. I was really groggy and don't remember much about getting home or that night at all. I mostly slept for the next 24 hours.

I woke up the next day in excruciating pain! I ended up taking double the pain killers I was supposed to. Over the next couple days I mostly slept. I needed someone with me at all times for the first couple days. I was unable to get out of bed as my pec muscles were detached and healing. You don't realize how much you use your pecs until they don't work anymore.

I was very depressed from the anesthesia. At about the 3rd day I actually had a look at was was under the bandage. I freaked out, it looked horrible. I wondered what I had done to my body, I cried.

My first follow up with Dr. Silverman went ok. He assured me that my implants would eventually drop and even out. He explained that I had pick large implants for the size of me.

I needed the painkillers for 6 days before switching to Tylenol. The pain diminished and I was able to drive short distances again after 8 days.

My next follow up came and my implants didn't drop as much as they should have Dr Silverman provided me with a band to help lower them.

By April I decided I still wasn't happy and consulted Dr Silverman about getting a revision to even the out and bring them down. He agreed, all I had to pay for was the anesthesia which was 1000$. We set a date in May for the revision.

The second surgery was easier and I felt way better than I did with the first one. I was back at work 10 days later instead of a whole month like with the first one. The healing was way quicker and my implants were in a better position, making it less depressing. I still self conscious about them as they aren't perfect, though they do look good in clothing.

My measurements before the surgery;
34' bust
26' waist
37' hips

After
37.5' bust
26' waist
37' hips

The thing I'm happiest about; my measurements and hour glass figure.

The thing I'm most disappointed with; one side is lop sided and keloid scars that haven't stopped hurting even 2 years later.

Would I do it again? Yes!

What would I change? I would have done more research and gone to Montreal.

I'm now almost 2 years later and dissatisfied enough to go for an other revision. I'll be posting an other review once the time comes.

Pro's Dr. Silverman was professional and answered any questions. Unfortunately he didn't give much pre op and post op advise. I'm now seeing a new surgeon in Toronto for an other revision and it's really made me realize how much Dr Silverman lacks communication. It really makes me wish I would have done more research on my surgeon.
