I have waited 15 yrs to finally to this. I am petite 5'1" and average 100lbs. I have wanted to restore fullness and correct asymmetry with a natural result BA. Every year when I go for my mammogram, I ask the technician about the best PS results for BA that she has seen. I have had different technicians each year. Dr. Levi Young was mentioned multiple times. So, I made a consult at his office. The staff is kind and eased my nervousness. Dr. Young took his time with me during the consult and answered all my questions and concerns. He determined I needed a lift on one breast only. As for size, he understood that I want a breast shape that will be proportionate for my petite 5'1" frame. I naturally have a fair amount of breast tissue, so I could handle 330-350cc Sientra Textured HP round implants. I was still worried about being "too big," so I made an appt to come back and try on sizer she with the staff. I also made "rice" sizes at home and wore them to get a feel for what size I would be comfortable with. Surgery day came and Dr. Young reassured me he had several sizes for me in the O.R. and understood my desired outcome. He did not need to do the lift as he was able to correct it by using a different size implant. The day after surgery, both Dr. Young and the nursing staff called me to make sure I was doing ok. Dr. Young's bedside manner is exceptional. He truly cares about his patients. I also have inverted nipples and Dr. Young will be able to correct those during an in office procedure, once I am healed from the BA.

Started the stabilizer band over compression bra and the twice daily massages.

Ouch! That stabilizer band really hurts my under arms. I have put a pair of socks between the band and my under arms and it's still uncomfortable. Anyone have any suggestions? Of course the massage hurts too, but I can do this!!

I sometimes wore it over my clothes. That helped my armpits out a bit.

What a great result. I'm thinking of having implants and yours are how I'd want mine to turn out. Thanks for such honest feedback, it's really helpful for people like me still figuring it out
