Hi, I have been wanting to get a boob job for quite sometime now. I just recently had my second child and after I was done breast feeding, my breast lost alot of volume! I wanna be comf in my own skin so I decided to go ahead and get them done :) My consultation is on the 1st of feb and my surgery date is on the 21st... I will post more after the consultation when i have more info and when we decide what size would be best and the most natural looking for me...

You will love Dr. Ratliff...he did my surgery last May...love my results. Just remember to be patient. You will want them to look and feel perfect right away but it will take some time. Don't get discouraged. Just trust your doc. Good luck!!!

Thank you, I have heard nothing but great things about him that's why I decided to go with him :) I know to be patient because all of my friends that have had theirs done told me it takes a little while... I'm just super excited to get the surgery over and done with so I can deal with the healing process... How long did it take for yours to drop and what size did you go to?

Well I was 40 had 2 kids and breast fed. I ended up having a lift and augmentation. I was probably a very small B and went with 400cc gel....which was the biggest he said I should go. I am now a 36D or a 38C...I'm very happy. I'm athletic so I run a lot and play soccer. But the size is perfect. Big enough to make me feel good in my clothes but not too big for sports. Can't remember how long it took for them to drop. It seemed like forever. One dropped before the other and it was a gradual process. It probably took 2-3 months. And honestly I wish they hadn't dropped as much. But they look and feel natural and that's what I wanted. You'll do great.

So, it's 1week and 1day after my surgery and I'm feeling really good. I had my one week post op yesterday and my ps said that my left breast was still pretty stiff. My right one fell right away, like when I got home the same day of surgery and my left one was swollen pretty bad. I noticed that my left one was bleeding more and then it started to bruise pretty badly. I thought it was normal because my left one was smaller than my right one and it just needed to stretch out a little more. My ps said that its a 50/50 chance that it could be that my muscle is still swollen from the operation, or that blood is filled around the implant... He told me to send him more pics monday and if its still like that then I would have to come back in for surgery wed so that he could remove the implant and clean out the blood that's around it... I'm hoping that it goes down by monday because I don't want to go into surgery again, but if its not down by monday I will be glad to go into surgery to get the blood cleaned out because it is so uncomfortable! Will post more info on Monday to let you guys know whats gonna happen! HAS ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIANCED THIS BEFORE?

my consultation went great! the nurses and the doctor were soo nice! it's a beautiful place and i'm pretty sure you would love them! I had my surgery already and it went well, but I might have to go back for surgery wed if my left doesn't go down because he thinks that it could be blood around the implant... go check him out! :)

Correction surgery? Does he cover that? If the implant was placed or leaking etc. does he offer some type of insurance for them?
February 11, 2012
Yes, he thinks it might be blood around the implant and since it's only a week after surgery he covers it... you have a certain amount of time before he will stop covering things... And the company that your implants come from offers insurance...
