    Default Complaint about a few doctors I've seen posted here and ....Breast Aug question

    This new year I've decided to get breast implants. The problem with my breast is it sags bad now. After I had my daughter, they just went south. Before then? They were perfect! I've been reading the BA links like crazy, doing as much research as I can into Breast lift/Aug. I've also been reading and researching a lot of the doctors that I have seen posted here and I must ask ...wtf?

    I have read bizzare things here where a girl will say something like Dr so and so is good with over the muscle implants but not under the muscle but I highly recommend him. Do people really take this thing that lightly? I don't read that as a highly recommendation at all . Another example: This Dr. Revis everyone keeps raving about. I just looked at the before and after pics of his "breast lifts w/ Aug" and most of his work looks like he only made them bigger because the breasts still sags. I don't get that. It's not all his work but most of his work. I'd hate to pay all that money for a lift and aug and STILL have saggy boobs!

    Like look at this for example:





    These do not look good to me at all.

    Anyways, I'm looking for the best of the best to do my boobs.
    I don't want a doctor that is just perfect when he does under the muscle,
    or whatever else. I'm looking for THE boob doc god lol. Please ladies help me
    make a fresh list of doctors that you know have delivered

    Currently I'm looking at these doctors:
    Dr Jamie Perez in Tampa, Florida (Had a consultation with this man and I love him omg! Made me feel soo comfortable. I may just end up going with him. I also love the before and after photos on his website)

    and there's another one I am looking at but can't think of his name right now. I've never had a consultation with him but Viola strings had her boobs done by him and hers were perfect along with the pictures I saw in his photo gallery.

    What should I look for and please refer me to any links that can help me.

    What is the going rate for a lift and an aug??

    In general, lift surgeries that involve a minimal increase in breast size typically involve the surgeon having to make large and nasty incisions in order to remove enough breast tissue to actually stop the 'sag'. The classic procedure is the 'anchor lift', which involves incisions both around the areolae as well as under the breast from bottom of the areolas back to the rib cage. When this procedure works as advertised the results can be excellent. But there is also the potential for permanent scarring, loss of nipple sensation etc. And basically this is the only lift procedure that will result in actual lifted breasts with a minimal 0-1 cup size increase.

    If a larger sized implant can be used, then a partial lift procedure that only involves incisions around the areolae - a.k.a. 'donut lift' - can be used. This avoids the under breast incision thus scarring. But the 'donut lift' relies on the size of the implants used being big enough to 'stretch' the existing breast skin tight again ... which may result in a 2-3 cup size increase being required for good lift results.

    you should have more realistic expectations. Apparently you didn't do a lot of research. It is just not realistic to expect extremely perky boobs after a lift, simply because of the way the lift is done and the breast is reshaped. Lifts are hard to make, much harder than a regular augmentation and it's hard to make them look nice and/or even.

    ^ Go to Dr. Charles Mcgalughlin in Tampa. He did my nose and my boobs, he's excellent! He goes by word of mouth he doesn't need to advertise as he's 25 years in the business. My gf likes fake looking boobs so she didn't want to go to him but went and had a consult and immediately booked her surgery as she was so impressed with him after speaking with him.He looked at her stomache and was like who did your lipo and told her everything that was wrong and she was like omg I'm so impressed and she's getting her boobs a redo this week.

    It looks like Dr. Revis prefers the more natural look. Towards the bottom of his lift page there is a girl with fake looking boobs. Maybe she asked for it. A lot of women don't want the fake boob/stripper/barbie look. He really did an amazing job with all of them. Some of them look like they took a lot of skill to fix.

    This thread couldnt have came at better time. Unfornately I do not know anyone personally who has implants so Ive just been doing googling and research, but I agree Dr. Revis gallery looked ok, like most of the others Ive seen. What are the price range of these doctors you guys suggested? Im looking to get Saline and I figured a good doctor with those would be b/w 3500-4500, correct? Anyone know anything about Dr.Jon Paul Trevisani in Orlando? Thanks

    Exactly. I've compared Dr. Jamie perez's before and afters and Revis's and I feel that Mr. Perez looks so much better as in natural. I, too, don't want fake stripper boobies. $3,500 is the going rate it seems. Dr. Perez quoted me 9k for a breast aug and lift. As for the price ranges for the doctors suggested in this thread, I'm pretty sure it depends on your situation. Google, email the doc and see what he says.

    ^ He just put that website up around 2 years ago. He doesn't show before and afters and he has a campy video that shows off his silly personalty. Like I said he's word of mouth and doesn't advertise. Make a appointment for a consult you won't be dissapointed, I went to around 8 surgeons in the tampa bay area and his before and afters were the best across the board from noses to face lifts to boobs!

    In states like FL and CA , they're always higher but in atlanta, ga a lot of good doctors are doing them for $3,700 (saline). I don't want to get my boobs done in atl though.

    Oh and if you like natural you'll love mcglaughlin. My gf didn't want to go to him at first until she was amazed after meeting him because mine look so natural and she likes more of a fake look.

    I have lots of girlfriends who have been to Dr. Revis, and they all look great. But it really depends on the 'look' you're going for. Revis IS more natural looking, and he seems to do well with 'reconstruction' or difficult breast augs and women who want their breasts to look more 'real'. If you wanted a nice, perky, Playboy-style BA....I wouldn't go with him.

    As for wanting a doctor who's good with ALL BA's....well, that's not IMPOSSIBLE, but it's unlikely. There are many sub-specialties in Cosmetic Surgery, and more in the Breast Augmentation realm besides that. Doctors do residencies and fellowships specializing usually in 2 or 3 techniques - and that takes years....so more often that not, one BA doctor is going to be able to do one or two type of BA's REALLY WELL, and have a more 'general' knowledge about the other variations (using the term general in context - not a whole lot general about being a PS).

    Looking forward to posts from JessieTinyDancer and JD in this thread - they know a lot more than I. I know JD in particular was VERY specific about what she wanted and what she wanted in a doctor, so maybe she can list a few names to narrow down your list.

    When I danced in GA years ago all the girls I knew or saw at the clubs with fake tits had horrible jobs done or if they were decent they looked fakish, my mom actually has a home a GA in so that could save me some money on the cost of a hotel Id have to pay in FL. But I know that silicone is around 6-7 and from my research that does seem to be the going rate for saline 4000. Places like NY or CA seem to charge maybe 5-7 saline. But I think of the celebrities who have bad jobs done and Im sure they paid tons for their BA so just because you paid more doesnt guarantee you great work

    @Bringonthemen Im using price ranges not specific numbers but yes that was my initial reason for wanting to get saline, because most doctors that I looked at were charging at least 1000-2000 more for silicone.

    Same here. A doctor i'm looking at charges $1,000 more for silicone. Charlie61 even mentioned that they do so.

    The average rate for saline in fl is 6000. There is a doctor brown who did a ton of girls I've worked with who's always been around 2-3 thousand less than the rest around here but I would not recommend him as I know at least 10 girls who've had comlpications, though he does do a nice breast aug. I like my doctor because he doesn't need to advertise he's got over 25 years experience and he did a great job on my nose as well and fixed my lip for free that another surgeon fucked up and he's fixing my friends lipo and my other gf want's him for her nose and his book looked the best across the board on every procedure. Also I've been dancing 16 years so I've seen just about every top doctors work in tampa bay even had consults and he is the best.
