How is this possible?

WORTH IT$10,000
I am 13 days post op and I just had a check up/tape change and am AMAZED at my incisions. The lollipop is non-existant! Seriously? Dr. Shaw is just incredibly talented and skilled. I really appreciate his desire to make every woman feel beautiful - not just the young hot girls.

PROFILE

Dr. Shaw performed my original BA, my step-mothers BA, my daughter's BA, as well as a few of my friends. He is confident in his work - a perfectionist and an artist. I have no qualms about having perform my explant and reduction/lift surgery even though I've read many articles saying that you shouldn't go back to your original surgeon to have your implants removed. Dr. Shaw has earned my trust and I know he will do the best he can do with what I have to work with.

You look marvelous dahling!!!!
Thank you!!! :-) I'm just thrilled with how everything looks and how easy my recovery has been.
Why thank you! We must have the same amazing surgeon!
You are healing so beautifully in such a short time! Very very happy for you!!!!
Thanks Happy! It's been a much easier journey than I expected...and the results are nothing short of shocking. Never expected the incisions to look so good so soon. Knock on wood :)
Wow.you must have great skin to heal so nicely.
I give the credit to Dr. Shaw. I recently saw another set of pictures on here where the surgeon had a TON of stitches on the outside of the incision - it looked like a rope - Dr. Shaw takes extra time to do the majority of the stitching on the inside and uses mostly tape on the outside. There were outer stitches about every inch - the results are - stunning. I'm so pleased. Beyond pleased, actually. He is amazing.
I just read all your posts...it was like you are inside my own head!! I have the same boob fetish hubby but he seems to be a bit more understanding...he knows he better not make any negative comments or else! ;) Just had my post op last Thursday and am quite anxious about the surgery a s well...I also feel your pain about the vomiting, I get real sick for the first 24 hrs if I move at all but after that it's usually clear sailing! He did a great job on your lift! Glad the worst is past for you and hope your hubby has come around! ;)

Drains out!

Got my drains out today. Everyone was surprised at how little drainage there has been. Got to take a quick picture of my left breast without the tape - I was amazed at how good it looks for it only being day 6! Seeing this makes me even more confident in Dr. Shaw. He truly is a master in his craft. This is a surgeon who takes pride in every procedure he does, even on us older chubby gals! Seriously, above and beyond my expectations - which were already pretty high.

Congrats. So glad your happy with the results so far. I know your stoked to get the drains removed! That was the best day for me!!
Yes! Another level of freedom! :-)
You look really great! You're right about the thin clean lines! Your surgeon did a fantastic job. Amazing to see the difference in your bra between a G and a D - WOW! Congrats to you Sinderella414!
Wow..you have alot of breast tissue..it looks like you have perky new implants now...and its all you
Yes, been lugging them around for too long. Now they just need to soften up - they feel like implants right now.

Thank you for being so honest! I know my husband would be sad to loose his visuals but I also know he can live without them if I had to have them removed. I hate them...so much and i have lived a secret life since 1989 carrying them around. Now I am 54 and had birthed 3 more children since the BA and what was once a DD is now a G. The pain from carrying them and the embarrassment of them getting to the room before me is enough. So ready to be rid of them.
No one deserves to be in pain Katbo with g size implants - there's a lot of valuable info here on RS and follow your intuition.
I'm guessing I will still be at least a D cup so that will have to be enough visual for my hubby. I know, if nothing else, I will feel much better overall - and want to be more active - that has to outweigh (no pun intended) the visual of me just laying around not wanting to do anything! Time for you to come out of the shadows too! It's amazing how emotionally awesome I feel right now! I can't stop smiling!
Question...what is the cost? Where do I start? I want to find a great doctor too.
My doctors cost was $8000, the anesthesiologist was $1100, the surgical center was $3000. Look for reviews of doctors in your area - or out of your area if you're able to travel.
You are looking great! Congratulations!
Thanks! I'm lucky to have such a great surgeon. Dr. Shaw is really dedicated to his work and I can't imagine going to anyone else.
You look so great!
Thank you. Dr. Shaw gets all the credit.
