WORTH IT$5,500
I got my first breast implants 16 years ago when only saline was available because cohesive gel had not been invented yet and the old silicone implants were pulled off the market. Dr. Thomas Taylor of Pasadena performed both of my surgeries and I wouldn't go to anyone else.
My first set of implants were wonderful and I had no problems at all. I am a 4-time marathon runner, a 9-time half-marathon runner, and a personal trainer who bounces all over the place. Despite having 34D's I simply used 2 tight sports bras over the years to make sure my breasts stayed perky and beautiful. NEVER GO WITHOUT A BRA AFTER YOUR IMPLANT SURGERY. Women make this mistake all the time and it's the fastest way to ruin your boobs. Girl, you got boobs, you didn't stop gravity!! Your implants may stay up over time but your natural boobs are going to sag, leading to a drooping nipple. Ew.
Okay so now it's been 3 weeks since switching from saline to gel and OH MY GOD is there a huge difference. I liked my boobs before but now, I'm absolutely stunned at how much more natural they feel, like real breast tissue. It's incredible!
Each day I feel my new implants the difference in softness compared to a saline implant blows my mind. In addition to the aesthetic improvements (lowered implants, size increase, greater cleavage improvement, nipples higher this squishy softness makes me so excited!!
Flat Spot
There is a slight flat spot on the inner left breast where Dr. Taylor did not aquequately cut away at the pectoral muscle during the portion of the surgery meant to achieve greater cleavage. It’s only distinct when I press my implants together, the way one might do to make cleavage, but of course I brought it up during my follow-up appointment. After a few more weeks of healing he wants me to massage that implant inward in hope that the muscle will “give” a bit more and the implant can “round” out the flat spot.
Additionally, there is some left implant top rippling that is very slightly visible but at only 12 days post-surgery with a lot of settling yet to occur, Dr. Taylor says many things visible now will ‘fluff’ away as the implants settle, my pectoral muscles heal, and my massaging regimen combine to produce the final effect some time in 4-6 weeks. Overall my boobs are so beautiful that these are but minor concerns.
