Revison Needed Updates Coming Soon
$8,000
Hello All,
Implants have been a mistake. I needed them, I wanted them, as you can see from earlier photos my areolas were absolute shite but my body did not respond well at all to the implants. (Please keep in mind that my sister got the exact same implants as me from the exact same doc on the same day and her boobs are soft and lovely so -different strokes-) I will be getting my implants removed and fat transferred to the area. I am super nervous about the whole ordeal particularly because I never considered such a thing before but out of necessity I had to reconsider all options. Please feel free to follow my new journey with my new doctor and ladies and gents please learn from my mistake and always ask your surgeon during your pre op questioning "How much will it cost to correct complication x in the future if I get it?" Because had I known I would have had to pay basically full price for a revision with Dr. G I may have gone with another Doc. (Full disclosure Dr.G staffers quoted me 6k which is a thousand less but with travel and all its basically the same and I know of women who's doctor's will fix a CC complication for around 1k) I asked my new doctor how much he charges in the case of the most common complication for FT to the breast which is lumps and fat necrosis and he says its free in-office procedure (He says he's not a nickel and dime surgeon who charges you for every little thing how sweet!) So happy healing to all out there I am very excited to get these painfully hard balls off my chest lol.

Hi how's everything are you happy with the saline implants I want to to to same doctor and want saline but I'm concern about how the feel and look I want something close to natural

Hello there, I would still recommend Dr. Gartner for either implant, both me and my sister got 450cc saline and my sister's boobs are soft and squishy and feel like natural boobs- and she had very little breast tissue to begin with! I unfortunately have developed severe capsular contracture but I believe that was primarily due to my aftercare. So I think as long as you take good care of your boobs especially during the earlier stages you'll be fine. My boobs were pretty and dropping nicely before I developed CC. I will be going to him for a revision soon. But like I said my sister who got twin implants has soft beautiful saline so I would not warn anyone against them :)
Dr. Gartner is great at what he does, I would highly recommend him!

Areola Unveiling
In some of the earlier photos you can see that I had reason to be concerned over the state of my left areola as the bottom right edge of the areola was quite straight rather than circular. Nearly a diagonal line. However that issue seems to be correcting itself as the areola becomes more circular during each examination. Lol, you be the judge! But overall I am extremely pleased. I initially felt they were still on the larger side but they seem to be shrinking! I love it!
