35 Year Old, 3 Previous BA Disaster Surgeries..then I Found Dr Garrison and She Changed Everything - Springfield, MO

I went to another Dr in town and I was comfortable with her. I decided on 350 CC mentor moderate implants placed over the muscle. I didn't have trouble with them, but they were saggy and I was not happy. At that point my Dr recommended that I go with a larger implant and I was skeptical at first but trusted her knowledge. She removed my 350CC and replaced with a much too large implant for my body structure. She changed to a 550 CC so that it was tight and my skin was not saggy. I tried this out for approx. 8 months because I was devastated to say the least. I had already had two surgeries with her and was not happy. I went back to her and she agreed with me that they were too large for my body. She told me that she would give me a lift and replace with smaller implants. I do have to say she worked around costs for me because I think she knew this was poor direction from her. During my consult she should have immediately recommended a lift in my opinion. A year passed and my breasts were uneven, very very thick scarred and my nipples were too high.

At this time I decided to go get a second opinion from Dr. Garrison. I immediately loved her, and during my consult I cried because I was so frustrated with what I had already been through. She hugged me and made me feel at ease with her. She spent a fair amount of time with me that day explaining what had happened to my breasts and what she would recommend doing. I was sold, I wanted to have the procedure she recommended because she assured me it wasn't too late to fix my breast. Up until this point I felt botched. She recommended that I revise my lift, I also needed a capsulectomy for my capsular contracture. and I explained to her that I would still like to go a little smaller, and she agreed that would be a good idea for me. I scheduled my surgery that day.

The day of surgery she came in and her bedside manor is impeccable. She made me feel calm. I believe I was in surgery for maybe an hour or hour and a half. I do still have the implant placement over the muscle and went with a high profile gel mentor 350cc implant. I am a week post op and I got my steri strips removed today and my breasts look fabulous. They look the very best they have ever looked after any procedure. I will go back for a follow up in two weeks, and she will then give me some medication to improve my scaring from the lift revision, which I never had before when I had a lift.

I am extremely happy with her and her whole staff. They are very caring and compassionate. I wish I could go back in time and chose her from the very beginning, but we live and we learn. I highly recommend her and I would do it again if I had to, but only with her.
