BA JUNE 4TH - 550CC HP SILICONE - WITH DR. REVIS

Schedule a consultation at the Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre with Dr Ross. Take a look at his before and after photos. BodyReshaping.com. 717-789-5711

Try looking for a plastic surgeon who has a
VECTRA® 3D Imaging and Simulation. That way they will take your photo and you can see for yourself how you will look after surgery. It's awesome and very accurate. I'm 2 weeks post op and the simulation was right on. I have silicone, under the muscle with the incisions under my breast. The scar is already barely noticeable. Good luck!

I have the same stats as you and I am going with 400cc saline under the muscle which will be a big C small D. You could totally handle that! Also, the way I see it is you only live once, and I think it's better to go bigger than smaller! Good luck with everything! :)

My experience has been that after surgery my breast felt very tight and hard/heavy on my chest. I went to JC Penney's and bought 2 sports bra's that zip up the front. Sleeping at night bra less is painful therefore I have been wearing the sports bra pretty much 24 hours a day. So very glad I bought them and very inexpensive with Penny's new prices. I've just been told that mine were tastefully done. I am not getting the 'gawking' stare because people think they are fake. They are very proportionate to my body although I would have liked to go a little bigger. Two weeks post op and I'm measuring 36 DD, hoping they go down. I wore a 34-36 A although my PS said he would have guessed I was a B prior to surgery. Jas & Laura you will be SOOO happy you did this. I assure you.

I had mine done on 3/14/12, after 2 years of research and emailing questions to doctors in NY, Alabama and of course, Atlanta, where I live. I decided on Dr. Bernard Shuster in Hollywood, FL because he offered everything I wanted that all the othe surgeons did not do...combined. My choice was Mentor cohesive silicone (does not leak, even with breakage), placed submuscular and the best part was the 1.5 inch incision under my armpit! No cut under my breast! I am so pleased. One more thing, when I got to FL for my face-to-face consult, Dr. Shuster suggested I used 385cc in my larger breast and 405 in the smaller to "even" them out"...excellent decision!! I never received any recommendations about this surgeon, just picked him based on how what he offers measure up with other surgeons. I eliminated my surgeon who did my tummy tuck in 2002 as well as the surgeon in NY who did my girlfriend's breast augmentation last summer to chose Dr. Shuster...best decision ever!

He doesn't know I'm writing this and I don't know that everyone will get the same results but I went with my heart and lots of research and I lucked out. You would be surprised how many surgeons out there can only do the "easy" stuff, i.e., simply cutting under the breast and filling in the saline/silicone. Choose someone who has specialty skills...you will have to live with these babies. :-)

How did your consults go? I'm in Tampa, I went to 3 consults and sticked with Dr. Carter... I saw his work before and loved it! I had mine done with a full lift also but loved the result so far... I have them up here if you want to check it out...

Do you mind telling me which other PS's you seen? I had 2 consults today and 2 more tom I'm hoping to pick from these because I have taken these 2 days off work and don't really wanna use anymore time until I need the week off for surgery

I've seen Dr Daniel Greenwald from Bayshore Plastic. Bad bedside manner, good reputation and reasonable! I would listen to his advise. Dr Halpern: he does his surgeries at his own office, does about 10 boobs a day, like a factory. To me he does good boobs and the cheapest but I needed a full lift and I don't think I could trust him with that. I also saw dr Adams, you know Mj morning show promoted him. Do not waste your time. He is not bord certified and I did not like him! Don't go near him! Dr Diaco, I didn't meet him but I heard he always makes them bigger than you want it! Not good..... I loved Carter, he did listened and his staff is awsome !!! His boobs have a natural teardrop shape, he does sub fascial placement . That's between over and under the muscle. On a fascia line. Most natural approach, best recovery time. Not all PS know how to do it though but he is the best of best. Hope I helped! In my personal opinion, after seeing your pictures, don't be boob greedy! Have it as natural size as you can and stay in the mid of high 300 range maybe 400 most!

Wow those are actually some of the doctors I have been interested in. I am going to see Dr. Diaco in the morning I have heard very mixed things about him but, I thought it wouldn't hurt to go see for myself. Dr. Adams is another I wanted to see but didn't sched a consult with him (good thing). There are so many surgeons to choose from it's hard to decide but people say when you find the "right" one you know it. Where is Dr. Carter located? I have never heard of fascial placement I have only been told under the muscle is best for me. I guess I am getting a little greedy with it I use to say I just wish I had a little more and I'd be satisfied but now that the time has come I'm wanting bigger. I just don't want to have that "I wish I'd gone bigger" mentality u know. I'm also seeing Dr. Eberbach tom have you heard of him? Wild 94.1 promotes him a lot I know that it doesn't mean anything but from his credentials it seems he is highly qualified.

Dr Carter - dr William Carter is right across from St Joseph Hospital on Dr MLKing in Tampa. Sub Fascial might not be right for everyone , but I would recommend a consult with him too. I never heard of the other radio guy, but make sure he is bord certified. They will have it on their website, a logo or something. Good luck tomorrow!

Also if you are young and healthy no special testings required. I never had any health problems so all I needed to do is to go to my surgical center at St Joseph's and had my blood drawn and a mouth swab. That was 2 weeks before my surgery!

Yea all 4 of the PS's did measurements at the consults I wish that I had written them down. I did end up liking Dr. Diaco somewhat but, he was very quick and to the point didn't spend very much time with me he basically said the width of my breast is very small for my frame he seemed puzzled by it and then said he'd do a 397cc but that's prob the limit which is similar to what the first one told me (339cc) now the other 2 PS said I could go as big as 500cc and I'd be fine it would just take longer to drop...soooo i'm kinda torn. I want the bigger obviously but why would they give me such diff answers? makes me wonder.

helps tremendously thanks :)

Jasmine, I'm sure you have done this but look at others with your similar build and look at the implants they have in the size you would like. It will give you an idea of what size you may be. I really feel you can pull off the 339- 397 range. Sometimes we get stuck on a number. I was sure I wanted 400cc's and I wanted to be a full C. I got 260 in one and 350 in the other( I was lopsided) and I ended up so far a Large D. If I would have gotten the 400 I would have been very unhappy. Listen to what your dr. Says and if one is giving you a limit you should listen to them. You are so thin I can see you getting to a D with the 397cc. Take a look at my pics on my review.

Thank u :) and yes I have been looking at tons of before and after pics similar to mine and there is such a variety out there it's so hard to say how "yours" will turn out everyone has diff measurements... But I think I may just need to see a few more PS to put my mind at ease.
