425cc Gummy Bear Breast Implants on 9/29/2016 - Wellesley, MA I'm a 26 year old mom of 4 so as you can imagine my breasts are pretty deflated and pretty uneven as well. At my consult I decided on 325cc and 315cc gummy bear implants but have since decided to go with 425cc and 415cc's. My surgeon told me I could maybe use a lift on the left side but I've decided to see how they look after the implants and go from there. I'm very anxious, nervous, and excited for my day! Figured I'd write an updated one because some details have changed and right after I submitted my first I realized I forgot to add my stats. So I'm now less than 2 weeks away (eek!!!) I've already gone for my pre-op, was sized for my post op undergarments and picked up my prescriptions! I bought 4 button up/zip up tops and still debating on whether to get pillows (I've been reading good things about the wedge and neck pillows) or just making do with the ones I've got. So last time I posted I had JUST gone and tried on implants for the second time with the nurse and I loved the look of the 425cc. Being that at my consult the surgeon and I discussed 325&315cc's I assumed it would be 425&415cc's. With that said I was awfully confused when at my pre-op they asked me to sign agreeing to both 445cc's, I assumed the extra 20cc's was due to placement but I was worried about going from 2 different sized implants to the same size so we tried them AGAIN. The two different sizes were obviously 2 different sizes when I tried them so the surgeon and the nurse assured me I'd be better off getting both sides the same size (even though they're not exactly the same size now.) Here's to hoping they come out okay! I'm very excited, anxious, nervous, and everything in between!!! Today was surgery day! I originally had a 12:30 arrival time but they asked me to come in for 11:30 anndd I ended up in the waiting room for an hour which was frustrating for my husband because he HATES waiting and that's basically what he did all day but the staff was great! I ended up going in around 1:30-2:00 and was awake around 3:00 I was a little sore which was quickly resolved with pain meds. OH speaking of they even gave me local anesthesia to put the IV in which I'd never had happen before but didn't mind at all! I got home a little before 5:00 (it was about an hour drive) and I ate then napped until around 8:00 (woke up for greys anatomy of course!) was pretty sore so took a pain med and now icing but overall (so far) the pain is less than I expected! Right now they're high and swollen of course but I can't wait to see what the next few weeks brings! I feel a bit more sore and swollen today but still not nearly as bad as I expected, really just does feel like I'm engorged so if this is the worst of it it's totally worth it! It is a little tough getting in and out of bed having limited use of my arms but I'm managing. Still just taking my pain meds as needed and icing! My kid brother has asked to stay with us so I managed to go out and get the paperwork for his schooling sorted today (my husband drove) and that wasn't so bad. Under my right boob is pretty bruised but overall I think I'm doing fine. I was so worried about back sleeping but last night I slept great! Now this morning hit and I'm super stiff and I slept through 3 doses of pain meds which I'm really feeling right now! I struggled so much to get out of bed I almost decided to wake my husband so he could give me a push out of bed but alas I made it! Used the bathroom and then got my ice pack and painmeds now just waiting for them to kick in! The first few days post op felt like a breeze to be honest but now I just want to crawl out of my own skin! I went from 5 days no bowel movement, to vomiting, to 3 days of diarrhea! I finally felt "good" yesterday afternoon, ran some errands, went outside for a bit to get some fresh air with the kids. Then came bed time, I was restless and when I did sleep it was just nightmare after nightmare (The worst of which my mom died of heart failure, when she has been dealing with heart related issues for some time now) Eventually I gave up on sleep and just laid in bed until I eventually decided I'd just get up and get the kids things ready for school and I'm just uncomfortable and so ready to feel myself again and get my house good and clean the way I had it the night before this journey started. I feel silly in a way paying all this money and putting myself through all of this for something while I wanted I'm not really feeling was worth it in this exact moment. So just a bad couple days where "boobie blues" hit maybe, and I feel rightfully so but right now I just feel over it! Hopefully I'm in better spirits after my post op appointment tomorrow. My chest feels great today! I have this one little annoying pain in my right rib area here and there but they've begun to feel a lot like a part of me today. I also had my post op with my surgeon today and he said everything with my chest looked fine. On the flip side I'm still dealing with GI issues which he said could be C.diff caused by the antibiotics so I'm currently waiting for the results for that. Haven't slept well the past two nights right now I'm laying in bed hoping for a better night so I should go ahead and put my phone down and end it here. Wanted to take a second to point out that although I've had this bump in the road Dr Davidson has been so good! I chose to get tested for my GI issues closer to home but he has been so on top of it even though it's a holiday weekend. He seems to genuinely care and I think that's great. I have minimal discomfort now and I was checking the girls out after my shower today and they look great! I feel like they've already dropped very well and are a nice shape. I feel like they look and feel pretty real even apart from a tad bit of firmness. I still have 2 weeks left but can't wait to ditch this surgical bra for something cute!

29, Been Thinking About It for 10 Years - Boston, MA Super nervous and ready to get it over with. Particular fears are the possibility of nerve damage, and the pain / recovery time. The surgeon I chose is well rated and has done this procedure a lot, and I was comfortable with him and his staff during my consultation. He told me that nerve damage is very unlikely if you don't go near the clitoral hood, which he doesn't do - he just trims the labia underneath. Doing the trim method. Every doctor seems to have such a different estimate of what recovery time will be like, so I don't really know what to expect! This is the before. I will update throughout recovery, because this site has been super helpful for me in making my decision, and I'd like to contribute to helping others. Had the surgery this morning. So far, the experience has been pretty much what others reported. They gave me an Ativan when I arrived for anxiety. Half an hour later I was in the operating room. Injecting the anesthetic was suuper painful, but lasted around 45 seconds. After that I was numb and couldn't feel anything the doctor and nurse were doing, and we were chatting while the doctor made the incisions and stitches. He did three rows of stitches on either side, and the whole procedure took about half an hour. My mom drove me home and I still wasn't in pain because of the anesthesia. I took a nap and about two hours later woke up with some pain. It's not terrible, its just a constant soreness. Doing my best to not touch it when I pee, take it easy in general, and follow the post-op instructions. Will update with some "after" pictures when there's something to see. Relieved to have removed so much of the excess tissue, but mixed feelings about the results and may need a revision. Follow up appointment soon. I have been waiting for some of the swelling to go down to post a picture. I had the trim method done, which is both the preference of my doctor and was my preference, because it made sense for my specific anatomy and the discoloration I wanted to get rid of. Here is what it looks like 10 days post op. I have been a combination of relieved to have most of that excess skin gone, and also having mixed feelings / some regret about not going to a doctor who does clitoral hood reduction. I can't tell (and I've done a lot of reading on here!) how safe / unsafe / standard hood reduction is, because some doctors like the one I went to say they don't do it because of the risk of nerve damage, while others seem to treat it as a standard part of a labiaplasty and like it isn't a problem at all. I was very nervous about nerve damage so in my consultation, I was on board with reducing the labia to relieve the physical discomfort, but now that it's done I am feeling emotional / having mixed feelings about not having done a hood reduction as well, and I am worried it looks very unnatural and maybe like an obvious labiaplasty. Like, I spent all this money and recovery time, and then if I want to do a hood reduction I have to do it all over again with someone else. Whereas if I hadn't been in such a rush to do it, I could have saved several thousand dollars by going to one doctor who treats hood reduction as part of labiaplasty / included in the cost. So, my happiness about the whole thing has been mixed, which is why I took so long to post anything. Last, the itching has been TERRIBLE, two days ago was the worst day since surgery because of unbearable itching, I ended up trying to lightly scratch it and inflamed the whole thing. I bought some feminine cortizone cream which helped a bit, and I feel better today. But I guess I was a bit naive and expecting to feel a lot better by now / almost two weeks in, considering my relative health and that I have been just resting at home and taking care of it. I can't imagine how anyone goes back to work 2-3 after a labiaplasty - I am still walking funny! I would like to hear about other patients' experiences with the hood reduction vs no hood reduction decision / risk of nerve damage, if that was an issue at all - and what your doctors told you about it. I think it was worth doing, and frankly I am really happy to be rid of the discomfort of long labia getting pulled / irritated in my clothing all the time. I still am not aesthetically that pleased with the appearance, as I think my large clitoral hood looks really strange. However, my main motivation for surgery was the functional one, and I am relieved that I do not have the discomfort problem anymore. I still feel confused as to whether having done a clitoral hood reduction would have been safe or not. My doctor told me he does not perform them because of the risk of nerve damage, and I trusted him, and certainly did not want to risk nerve damage. Then I posed a question online to other doctors about whether clitoral hood reduction along with the labiaplasty would have been safe, and most responded yes. However, I find doctors who say "100% yes" unequivocally to be untrustworthy - that is just an unprofessional thing to say, because nothing is unequivocally 100% safe, so I don't really trust their answers. It is irresponsible to tell anyone that there is 0% risk of problems with their surgery, and I also find it unprofessional for a doctor to criticize another doctor the way I was seeing in my questions, rather than just explain their point of view. (If RealSelf had a feature where people who asked questions could respond to the answers, I would have done so.) Basically it seems like there would have been a very small risk of nerve damage, because not everyone's body is the same and people's nerves don't all form the same. Given this, even though it is unlikely anything would have happened, I am probably glad I did just the labiaplasty and not a labiaplasty / clitoral hood reduction. My main concern of the discomfort is taken care of, and even though I don't love the aesthetic appearance, it is certainly better than it was. The swelling has gone down more and it looks more normal than in the last photo. As far as a review of the specific doctor, I did like Dr. Davidson and the nurse he works with and found them to be compassionate people. Honestly, the attitude of medical professionals matters a lot, and in that respect I appreciated Dr. Davidson's practice.
I had a positive, seamless experience from my first visit to the results of my surgery. The front office staff are genuinely kind and informative. This is a personalized practice where you do not feel like a number. The clinical staff - the P.A. and the Anesthesiologist - were great. Dr. Davidson is an excellent surgeon - he takes the time to listen to all your questions and explain all the options in detail. He is kind and approachable. Most importantly, I couldn't be happier with the results! 5 star experience.
Dr. Davidson and his staff are truly the most incredible team. They are comforting and warm, and extremely professional in all aspects of the practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Davidson and his team in every aspect of what they do!
BEST EXPERIENCE!! (23yo 5'1 300cc Silicone Mod+) - Wellesley, MA I had my breast augmentation on April 5th & could not be happier! Dr. Davidson is amazing and his staff is INCREDIBLE! From the first phone call I made to the office, I knew I had picked the perfect place to have my surgery. Cindy, Ellen, and Justine are all so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. They never hesitated to give me their opinions and I valued all of their input! Ellen helped me pick the perfect implant size based off of my detailed expectations & Dr. Davidson helped me make my final decision. I ended up going with 300cc mod+ silicone under the muscle. Stats- Age: 23 Height: 5'1 Weight: 110 Implant: 300cc Mentor smooth round Silicone Mod+ under the muscle, breast fold incision. I am currently 10 days post-op and I am literally shocked at how amazing my results are already! I could not have imagined a more perfect outcome this early in my healing process! I never had "snoopy" boobs and have had visually appealing results from day one. I am very impatient so I was ecstatic to see how beautiful my breasts looked right off the bat! I am currently measuring as a full 32D, but this will probably change over the next couple of months. Dr. Davidson is worth every penny and I could not be any happier with my decision to choose him as my surgeon. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience and healing process so feel free to comment! Here are a few more 'after' pictures to give a better idea of size and how my implants look 2 weeks post op. I am measuring as a 32D-DD depending on the bra or swimsuit. I definitely do NOT feel like a D or DD, more like a full C which is exactly what I hoped for. Victoria's Secret has vanity sizing that runs very small.
36 Yo Mom of Three, Got Fantastic Results! - Wellesley, MA Dr. Davidson gave me the fuller chest over always wanted especially after breastfeeding three kids. The Dr. And his staff were so great, friendly, professional and most importantly he did a great job and j couldn't be happier with my results, natural and very pleasing asthetically! The office ladies are so sweet and extremely helpful both before and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson, I love my new breasts!
