I'm 5'2 I weight about 118. Implants right now are RT 280 LT 315 done previously by a Doctor in Orange County ( I wont give the name) I had so many problems with that office but I was young and wanted bigger breast and should have did more research. So now they don't look anything like what they did 8 years ago and after having a child. Now that time has passed and so have my breast they are saggy with no volume. They are so flat is makes me sick, they literally remind me of two pancakes and only look good when I'm laying down or have a good bra on. In my own words I just want to have a pair of stripper breast that look great.
So I did 3 consults here locally in the Inland empire.
1st- Dr. Joseph Ku, referred by my family that has had surgery with him. His office was amazing and so was the staff! He made he feel so comfortable He took his time answered all questions I had, discussed what I was wanting this time around. He probably spent 45 minutes with me maybe even an hour. I really liked his recommendations ... breast lift, implant revision 440-500cc .
2nd- Dr. Della Bennett- Very beautiful office. Waited a while in the lobby even though I had an appointment. The staff switched me into 2 different rooms for one consult. But she was super nice way too conservative for me! She mentioned yes I need a lift but wanted to basically give me what I already had and was not budging on anything. The price was ridiculous $14,000 to get everything I don't want.
3rd- Dr. Ben Childers- One of the fastest consults ever! I felt like he didn't care and kind of came off a little creepy. (red flag) I wasn't comfortable at all. He was actually the cheapest $7,500 and ready to throw in any size implant in whether its 600-1000 cc. lol I'll pass.
So after all consults I discussed with my husband a decided Dr. Ku was right for me and what I wanted. So I paid for my deposit and scheduled myself for 01/28/2016 I couldn't be any happier with my choice.

Finding the right dr is everything! My first BA was in orange County to. Dr. Kemsley. He was one of the best but my first surgery, I healed wrong and I should have gone back instead ignoring it. He retired and I met my current dr in 2011. Who has worked on me 4 times. It's a long story lol. Anywho's I love my dr.. Dr smith in irvine. Just had my final step of revision yesterday. I trust a 100% and his staff is amazing. So glad u found the right dr and staff this time ;)

Thank you. It's hard finding a doctor you can trust. It's your body and not the surgeons. So it's something we have to live with as a patient! I'm on my countdown for surgery!

My flabby ass Brest with no life left. Lol I cannot wait to take these old saline implants out and replace with full volume!! My recommendation DO NOT GET SALINE! Worst mistake. At the time I couldn't afford to get gel "gummy implants".

Yay! Fyi revisions are harder than your first BA. They say it's easier. Yay not for me and for most girls I have talked to on here. So be very prepared for anything and relax and don't over do it

I was scared to hear that but I also had that feeling. Lol I have a high pain tolerance so I hope it helps me!

Oh crap... I was expecting it to be “a breeze” as the nurse told me at the office... LOL... I am getting ready for my downsize exchange this Monday and I have a week off from work, but I’m afraid that when I come back I would still be in pain. My job is in retail and I have to move a lot of clothes in hangers and sometimes push and pull fixtures that are kinda heavy... Oh God, help me!
