Filler still going strong

Hi guys,

So far, the filler is doing the trick. I hope it lasts, or that the implants settle to the point where I am satisfied. It was still really worth it. I feel totally in proportion now, and am very comfortable moving and working out- even lying on my stomach for a massage. I'm still pretty self- conscious about them when it comes to men-- I feel like there will always have to be a conversation or SOMETHING, but otherwise, I can't complain. :-)

Well, as time goes on, I feel like my implants look better and more natural. I was still disappointed with the dent (see previous update), so I had Dr T inject some cosmetic filler in the dent. It's filled it out to a point where I am satisfied. This is supposed to last for a year, so then I'll see. I would really love to have a permanent solution, but I'll take this for now.

First disappointment

Hey guys, posting a new pic- as the swelling went down, this small indentation has developed. It's because of the size of my chest cavity, coupled with my lean body mass, and it's always a risk, but since everything has gone so smoothly to this point, it's a little let down. My doc says we bed to wait a few more months before doing anything about it, and I think he's right- still just a few months post and they will continue to change for up to a year. Hoping that as they drop and flatten, this will go away. My friends have all said it's not a big deal, but of course when it's on your body, it's different!

Dr. Teitelbaum MADE this experience for me. I wouldn't have felt comfortable with anyone else. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. He even responded to my post-consult emails personally, and encouraged me to come back in to speak about my concerns in person. So far, I am thrilled with the experience and the results. I did not expect to feel this good, but as he said, "there's no reason why you should have to suffer." It's truly all about technique, and I'd recommend him to anyone. I am so thrilled I chose Dr. Teitelbaum. He's truly and artist, and a caring individual. He called me the night of my surgery and I could hear how delighted he was with both my result, and how great I felt. I'll continue to add more details as my girls "develop".
