How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'm happy
It's been nearly a year since my lift, and I can't deny there were times I wondered if I had made a terrible, expensive mistake. This past month marks the point that I've officially become satisfied with my results. I'm even contemplating forgoing the implants.
Next step
I had my consultation for implants last Monday. I plan to hit somewhere in the C range, but after trying on the sizers, I'm still really unsure. It looked so much like I was just stuffing an oversized bra. I know that the sizers don't give the most accurate reflection of what I'll look like, but I don't really know what else to try. I just want to snap my fingers and have been born well endowed. Hell, just endowed period.
Before I left the consultation I think we tentatively settled on 350-400 cc's, but I had a mini freak out it the car afterwards because they looked too big. I couldn't see my toes! The next day I had another freak out because WHAT IF THEY'RE TOO PERKY! I hate to sound crass, but I just want some soft, pillowy milkmaid [RS bleep]. I want to look like a mom, like someone might refer to me as "madam," like someone to hug when you're sad. I want something to have to "reign in" at work, something that makes me look like a lady instead of an aspiring MILF. Gah! It's so hard trying to decide a size on something I've never had. So many women can make a decision based on comparisons to when their milk came in, but I don't even have the luxury of that. I'm working blind here and it's frustrating.
Surgery was initially set for Feb 1, but a financially hiccup had me push it off until May. Despite my uncertainty above, I'm still really excited. Dr. Talbert is just the best doctor I've ever been to. He's confident and matter of fact, and very direct. He basically walked in and said "Here's the implant were going to use, it's going under the muscle. What size?" And while I get that other women want to hem and haw over textures, profiles, materials, and placement - I. Do. Not. So I greatly appreciate his decision making. This is basically how I'd be if I ever hired someone to build my house. "Here's my money, I want it built in this general area, with this many bathrooms. Use your best judgement. Make it happen." Random, I know, but a decent enough analogy.

6 weeks
Today is 6 weeks post op, and I'm getting more and more used to my lift. I go back Monday for my check-in, and besides some small oopsie moments everything has gone really well.
I had an internal suture poking out for a couple weeks, but it's dissolved and gone. I just recently over did it at work and had a small part of one of my incisions open up, but it seems fine now as well.
More and more, I'm noticing that my areola is only round when my nipple is soft. When it gets hard it goes all wonky :p
My defective nipple is 100% better, and I am so impatient for my implants :p

Provider Review
Dr. Gary Talbert
My doctor was quick to do what needed to be done, very no nonsense, which I appreciate. After seeing great result after great result in his galleries I trust his judgement completely, and look forward to my next surgery with him.
