I LOVE the info! Thanks so much!
It is 4 months and my belly is still the same no difference from day one
You can still see changes for up to 6 months and a year- healing is such a different process for everyone. Please check in with your surgeon to discuss your results.
I hate it 2 months in, I want to give up already
What do you recommend for women that have had a mastectomy?
Have either of you had breast implants as you were explaining the pain level? As you hear so many sides on this
I LOVE watching you ladies. So awesome and informational!
You did not answer the question
What about running. Every video talks about lifting. I’m a runner, I have races all the time. And I average about 50-70 miles a week. Can I get back to 20 mile long runs on Sundays after 4-6 weeks?
Why is the audio not working?
Getting my galaflex in 3 weeks!!! So excited. I’m 1 year post augmentation with lift and the sag is rearing its ugly head again. Had to do something. So glad this is available. 22 months of breast feeding and then weight loss from 7 years+ and ongoing spin class (cardio), definitely changes the boobies.
Best of luck to you for a beautiful result and recovery!
This is amazing! I've seen most of the videos. What do you guys offer in regard to scarring? Do you refer out for scarring?
Scarring is typically very minimal after this surgery. Your surgeon can guide you about how to care for your scar for the first year. If further treatments are needed, other interventions can help further improve the appearance.
What about first timers woo natural big breast who want the lift. Would the internal bra be better than traditional lift ? Slicing a piece of pizza out type of surgery
YES! The internal bra can be used to help support a primary breast lift or reduction and keep you perkier longer.
Great video! I had a consultation and my doctor said everything you said. ♥️
Sounds like you found a good surgeon!!
I’m 3 weeks out from a lift + implant and my scars are not even close to healed, but I’m already pleased with the improvement. I was borderline and did several consults where it wasn’t clear to do the lift of not so you can imagine I was nervous to go with all the scares when it wasn’t even obvious if I should do a lift. I choose to do it and I’m already glad.
So excited for you! Remember as scars heal they get more pink and read colored for about 3-5 months and then start to fade. Sunscreen protection and a silicone gel with scar massage are key to them fading away. You made the right decision!!
To be honest if you are watching this dont fall for this go to the gym save money n your mental health
Great advice -We always advocate going to the gym and being your healthiest self! Some problem areas are genetic and physiologically can only be addressed surgically however and patients have the choice to purse safe options to reach their goals.
One thing that too much compression can cause especially if it is too tight, is BACK PAIN! While you’re wearing compression you have support so you’re not using your core as much. I ended up in physical therapy because of the back pain.
Hi! Do you have any podcast on breast explant and lift at the same time? Thank you so much!
We can do that!
Can someone tell me where I can buy fajas in my size or do I get a smaller size? What is a board or form?
How about sensation- in/around nipples and sensation from underarm coming up to breast?
I’ve worked out but my stomach has stubborn fat and I can’t take that off
I had my BA yesterday and honestly i DO NOT love the way it looks, it looks crazy, huge, very swollen, but I know that its part of the process
Excellent information.I have done my lipo a week ago..and all your answers helped me
How are you feeling? Contemplating lipo but researching first.
Glad we could help!
Always important to do your research and see a board-certified plastic surgeon. We are always happy to see you as well if you are in the area :)
I just had a double mastectomy for breast cancer and had implants done at same time. I just wanted to be “me”. I had both nipples removed as I had Paget’s disease of left nipple. I am 9 days out from surgery. Pain has truly been minimal. Only take pain meds at night. I had 350cc implants under muscle. Went for check yesterday, all is great but he wants drains to stay a little longer so will recheck on Friday. I was able to wash my hair in sink by myself at day 6. I am doing great. Before surgery my natural breast size was equal to about 380-400 implant so I am very happy. The pain has been much less then other surgeries I have had.
Do you have nerve damage in your face? Previous bell's palsy?
how much does it cost ?
10k plus
How long after surgery do you allow your patients to start their weight loss meds again if they are on a maintenance dose?
That’s my question also
I mean with implants immediately after surgery . I.E. no expanders.
I can't hear
Can this be a suggestion or idea for reconstruction after breast cancer surgery?
Drs, i have a question, do compression garments give you a nicer & rounder bum after a bbl? ie keep transferred fat in place etc.
I had 40 teardrops, and they l9ok so real and perfect than I went up to 600 moderate plus, and I hate them because they are so huge. The higher profiles look too big
You talk about removing skin amd repositioning the nipples, but how do you lift the actual breast tissue itself?
Ijust had my "Mommy makeover" 3 days ago and not sure how early I should ask questions. My post-op is on Thursday and im writing down my questions. Do you, ladies, have any suggestions?
If am 41, no wrinkles on face and practically no cellulite, do you feel me need jplasma with double chin Lipo? The Dr quoted me 3k and now is trying to. Add jplasma for 1900
Spanx sells a few compression garments in petite sizes. This helps reduce creasing in my opinion. I'm only 5'1" and most fajas are too long.
Bummer video was very informative but not for cancer patients with mastectomy! What way has less visual imperfections? Safest keeping in the pocket going bigger?
Why I hate it is because it's 95 degrees outside and when I have to be out in it for 4-5 hours, I feel like I'm going to pass out or become a heat casualty due to my skin not being able to breath. And why does compression have to go down to my knees and up over my shoulders? I got some ab suction so why do I have to compress 80% of my body??? I've wore wrestling singlettes that are smaller. And every time you have to use the restroom (#2), you break a sweat just getting it on and off. And sleeping is just the worst. I wake up in the middle of the night with pain from my groin skin, pain from my shoulder skin, and pain from my under arm skin. And you want me to wear it for SIX MONTHS?!?! There has to be a better garmet.
Get an appropriate size for you. It will be helpful. Also feel free to put it off once you've got some discomfort, but be sure to wear it once you're fine
Great info. I am 13 days post surgery and each breast look different. One is round and other squared shape and sits higher. Also is more swollen. I was terrified at first till I heard about drop and fluff process.
Hi! How do they look now? I just had my breast augmentation yesterday and Im a little scared, my right breast looks huge
Why have you invited this woman if you want to talk the whole time? So annoying and rude to talk over her.
This video needs to be at the top of the algorithms. Thank you!! I’ve watched damn near 1,000 of these and THIS is what I needed. Xo
I’m 6 month PO lipo abdomen& flanks w/renuvion. I def had creasing and my Dr said it was not a big deal. I still see rolls and lines. I think the rolls are loose skin. Is it worth putting my compression garment back on at this point or is it a done deal?
At 6 months you've got your final results, wearing your compression garment afterwards won't be necessary again
Is the internal bra the same thing surgeons use to repair symmastia?
it can be! there are different types of meshes that can be used but it's the same concept.
I just got one pod10!!! with a breast lift and little reduction!!! So far so good.
Hi. 🤗 Can you two touch base on tanning and sun exposure before and after breast augmentation? Thanks for your help with your content.☺️
Can I do it by my thighs ??
How successful can you be in having your insurance to cover the breast reduction ?
Hey, roughly how long does it take for the swelling to go? I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. My after picture what the surgeon took looks great . But right now one side of my labia is all tucked in and neat & the other side is a lot more swollen. Is this normal for one side to be tucked in and one side to be out I just hope it all goes in like the after picture. As it was so neat on the pic when it was immediately done. I had labia plasty and clitorcal hood reduction. I’m not in any pain but just hoping this swelling will go asap.
Breast implants don't belong in your body period, ladies. Before you do it, please listen to the thousands of women telling their stories on UA-cam of how implants destroyed their health and in some cases (including mine) almost killed them.
@@georgiarose2594 how old were you when you got them? How big were they? Was it a reputable doctor and surgical center? Did you have known allergies before? Family history of immune disease? Also what’s the lifestyle you had overall?
@@persiaperez909 Hello.... I was 19, they were small (c cup), it was a top Harley Street doctor, no allergies in my life, no family history of anything, lifestyle was health-obsessed (no alcohol, smoking, drugs, organic food etc.). It should just be black and white and glaringly obvious: women should not be cut open to put silicone that is laced with heavy metals next to their vital organs and left there for years in a hot body that breaks the silicone down over time. It is just so dangerous.
❤ this was so very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏽! My doctor told me to leave mine on for 3 weeks but I feel like I need more time.
Ion want no fat in my stomach i need it gone
What language are you speaking!
