Breast lift & tummy tuck 9 days ago exceeded all my expectations! - I’ve looked at before and after photos of doctors across the valley. I personally knew 3 people who’ve gone to Dr Edwards and recommended him. He definitely has the most consistent results across the board. I would trust him to do any surgery (and he could) but he’s chosen to specialize in breasts for now. He is the most professional, gentle, compassionate, joyful doctor! I’ve always had a big chest. In fact, I haven’t been this small since the 8th grade. After 2 late pregnancies in my 30s and nursing both my babies over a year, I was literally falling out of every bra I put on. Halter top swimwear would cut off the circulation to my brain and was so uncomfortable…they were so heavy! I wore black every day to make myself feel thinner. I dreaded buying anything that I had to put on my body. When I met my husband in my early 20s, we wakeboarded rock climbed and snowboarded. I loved dressing up for myself and impressing him. I had been home with the kids a couple of years and went on an interview and realized how much my self worth and insecurities were affecting my attitudes perspectives and I didn’t enjoy anything that I used to (including dressing up and going on dates). Thankfully my husband supported this decision and I feel so blessed to have been in these Doctors’ care for my breast lift and my tummy tuck. They have everything down to a step by step process and I can’t wait for the rest of my life to unpause. I can’t wait to get dressed and smile at myself and be silly and move with my kids! So grateful and so blessed for what my future.Updated on 9 Oct 2022:Photos Taken After Procedure.I will say Day 3 and Day 9 were my worst days. On Day 3 I have the highest pain level. I had lipo in my back and this part probably hurt the worst. This would’ve been much more intolerable if I hadn’t already experienced 2 cesareans. That being said, I didn’t have any morphine or pain pills because they make me sick.Updated on 12 Oct 2022:Pre Op Photos 2 weeks before surgery. My breasts were heavy and sagged and they didn’t stay in any bras that I owned. Dr Edwards met with me 15 months prior and we had a lengthy consultation. He’s incredibly thorough and addressed every question and concern. More
Honest and Committed to High Quality Results - I appreciated his honesty and thorough explanations. After meeting with doctor Silver, it is obvious that high quality results are more important to him than just making money. I had a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Dr. Silver! More
Could not be happier! They already look better than I anticipated they would - I am only 3 weeks post op from my breast augmentation with Dr. Edwards and although it’s still fairly early in the recovery process, I am so very very happy with how my breasts are turning out. They already look better than I anticipated they would! I cannot believe how easy recovery has been as well. I only had some mild discomfort on day 1 and 2 post op, but no pain whatsoever. I took 3 Tylenol and 1/4 a tablet of painkillers on the first 2 days and that was it! Amazing. Also, I cannot say enough good things about his staff— Cynthia is phenomenal as well as Cathy! They make such a perfect team. I would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards at Plastic Surgery Vegas to anyone considering a breast augmentation. From professionalism, to bedside manner and skill… Dr. Edwards and his team have far exceeded my expectations in every aspect and I could not be happier with my results. I have absolutely no regrets and only wish I would have gotten this procedure done sooner!! More
35 y/o, 130lbs, got L425 UHP, R455 UHP - my boobs look so amazing - From my consultation, pre-op, surgery, post-op, Day 1 of recovery until now (26 Days) my experience with Dr. Edwards and his Team has been phenomenal. Answered every questions I could come up with and wiping away the worries. I'm so happy and greatful with everything so far and my boobs look soooo amazing. Highly recommend him and his Team 100%. Highly competent and caring. I will post before and after pics!! More
32A Natrelle, Ultra High Profile, Sub-pectoral, Inframammary - t 38, I finally did it and I'm going to tell you what no one else told me.You're about to realize how much you use your chest muscles for just about everything in life. Just wait lolI am a 38 yr old mom with an athletic build.When I had my son I gained 20 lbs (140 lbs) and my boobs were like a 32DD.It was great but those bad boys vanished to 32Bs post breast feeding.The positive was, I knew my skin would stretch and it still had a lot of elasticity!Fast forward 5 yrs and a very good friend of mine that works in Aesthetics recommended Dr. Edwards. So naturally I stalked everything I could about his work and professional background before booking a consult.This is a really big deal and even though at first I felt silly for obsessing over the details I'm glad I did!You have to be sure that you choose the right professional for the job. This is your body and long term health, so do your research and list your questions!!Dr. Edwards has a calming and confident demeanor. He's board certified, widely published and he served in the air force.At my first consult I was conservative abut size. We settled on 345cc L and 365cc RBut by my second visit I had consumed so many boob pics and RealSelf reviews I knew I wanted bigger. We landed on 400 L and 420 R. This was chancey because he recommended that I be careful with my base measurements. Going too big can cause all sorts of problems in positioning, healing, capsular formation, uniboob? I dunno maybe!I committed to the larger size bc I saw what my body did during pregnancy.What I didn't plan for was the nerve pain, hypersensitivity or the feeling of an implant slooshing around in my chest.More on that later... More
31 Yrs. Old, No Kids-Natrelle Inspira SSX L-445 R-420 - I always wanted bigger bewbies since I was 15 and finally decided after extensive research that now was the best time to take the leap of faith. My surgeon is simply a genius and along with his amazing staff the entire process from consultation to surgery felt super comforting which is super important. I do not understand how some patients mention not liking their surgeon and still go forth leaving their lives(and titts) in somebody's hands they don't feel comfortable with.Surgery was essentially painless and within 48-72hours I was bored and wanted to head to the gym. DONT DO IT lol! I strongly recommend to have a close friend/family around for the first 5 days to assist with medication schedule etc. My fiance is a God send and was literally my at home nurse 24/7 lol.I am currently 2 months post OP and have had virtually no issues with healing and recovery. Overall the drop and fluff is coming along well, although my right is slightly higher than left. I got measured the other day at Victoria Secret and am currently 34D/32DD. I will admit some days I have bewbie greed and wonder if I could have went bigger but gravity and future kids will eventually force me to have a revision so until then I will enjoy the beautiful girls I have now. Will try to keep this updated on my journey as much as possible.:) More
The most amazing experience with Dr. Michael Edwards - I traveled 1,336 miles to get surgery with Dr. Michael Edwards at Plastic Surgery Vegas. He is the most well-organized, compassionate, and competent doctor. Dr. Edwards successfully removed my capsular contracture on December 15, 2020. I regained my confidence, he truly changed my life. I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with the results. He took the time to consult with me twice virtually before I visited him. He answered every single question and explained everything in very detail. Dr. Edwards uses an app called myTouchMD to upload my before and after photos from every angle. He even took the time to take pictures of the scar tissue he removed from my capsular contracture. I am amazed at the amount of care Dr. Michael Edwards puts into his work. His staff is also very friendly, helpful, and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Edwards to anybody considering any kind of breast procedure. More
My Only Regret is That I Waited 15 Years! - For whatever reason, my photos would not upload with my initial post; these include my before, as well as progress up to 2MPO (where I’m at presently! My appointment went swimmingly, and between Dr. Edwards and me it was difficult to tell who’s more thrilled with the results thus far! More
My Only Regret is That I Waited 15 Years! - Although I had contemplated a BA for nearly 15 years, I had never had, nor been able to take the time off of work necessary for a proper recovery; while the pandemic seemed like a less than ideal situation, knowing that I wouldn't be rushed back to work was certainly a bonus, and thus I began my consultations. Living in Las Vegas, I met with six local surgeons as well as a remote consultation with a surgeon in Scottsdale, AZ - I wanted to do my due diligence, as well as meet those my girlfriends had recommended so highly.Dr. Edwards has a wonderful bedside manner, and speaks to you with a professionalism that isn't the least bit patronizing (as a medical practitioner myself, it's infuriating to be talked down to, and I can only imagine the frustration as a lay-person.) While I was completing my Vectra scan, he pulled up his previous bodybuilding clients with comparable stats, something no other PS did; we discussed that I wanted a very natural result, that matched my proportions, rather than looking like I came to Vegas to have my breasts done. He was one of two PS I met with who didn't try to coax me into something larger, and I came out of surgery with exactly what we had discussed: 295ccL/310ccR Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch Moderate Profile Silicone Unders. I couldn't have been happier then, and now, seven weeks later, I am still just as elated. At 6WPO, I was cleared to return to the gym, albeit carefully, and have spent the past week testing out different movements from my usual program (excluding chest, obviously) with no issues at all; recovery has genuinely been a breeze.

I Am Forever Thankful - Dr Edwards did my breast implants revision due to capsular contraction. And I have to say that meeting him it is the best thing that happened to me. Besides being highly skilled on this procedure, and doing an outstanding job, he is very kind, professional and always treat you like you are part of his family. My surgery went very well. I had minimal pain, no swelling and no bruising. He followed me frequently so check my progress. His assistants Cathy and Cynthia are super sweet, caring and extremely knowledgeable, you can tell that they are well trained. Every time I had a question or concern, they always called me back with a solution or answer to my problem. I always felt confident that if I needed something, he was always available to talk to me, but like I mentioned before, Cathy and Cynthia were so awesome that many times they answered my questions very well that I did not need to talk to Dr Edwards. Also, Sandra is Dr Edwards financial assistant and she is awesome, she will work with you through the process and will do her best to find you the best financial option for you.I highly recommend Dr Edwards to anyone that is looking for a great plastic surgeon. Trust me on this! You won’t regret meeting him. He is the best in town! Thank you for giving me back my confidence! I am forever grateful to Dr Edwards, Cathy and Cynthia for making this experience less traumatic. More
Would Recommend Dr. Edwards! - Great! He was my 3rd consult and right away I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He was kind and took his time educating me on the procedure. In the OR I was very nervous and he took my hand while the anesthesiologist put me to sleep. He’s very good at making you, the patient, feel comfortable and reassured. Very happy with the results thus far, although I’m only 1 week postop. More
I’m truly forever grateful - My experience with Dr.Edwards was beyond great. From my consultation to the operating table, he always made me feel comfortable. His magic hands have given me the self confidence I’ve always wanted and I’m truly forever grateful. More
Thank you Dr for your incredible skills - Not enough grea† words can explain the experience and care Dr Edwards and his staff gave me here, I highly recommend them, my results were fantastic and unbelievably natural... very professional and down to earth; thank you Dr for your incredible skills and Jacqueline and Cathy for all your amazing advice and Kelly for scheduling and skin care and treatments; you all are awesome!

Where do I begin? First, with a big Thank You! After consulting with several plastic surgeons to do a facelift, neck lift, and upper eyelids, I found Dr. Silver. Having work done on your face takes a big leap of faith in a surgeon and Dr. Silver addressed all my concerns, thoroughly explaining the procedures he would recommend, while pointing out any unrealistic expectations. He was so amiable and committed to helping me achieve my goal, I left his office filled with complete confidence in his abilities. I am three weeks into my recovery and I’m already amazed at the difference. And I cannot forget to mention his nurse, Stacy, who is an absolute gem. Follow their instructions prior to surgery (taking ALL the medications that are recommended) and you won’t be disappointed. I will be going back for a brow lift the end of the year and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. I cannot recommend Dr. Silver strongly enough! More

What an amazing experience! - Dr Edwards is simply amazing. He corrected a previous augmentation, ruptured implant and performed a lift with new implant placement. His skill and bed side manor are excellent. After my surgery, he personally called my husband and talked to him about my surgery and he was also the first person I saw waking up from anesthesia.My results have been phenomenal, not even 2 months out from surgery and you can barely see my surgical scars.He makes you feel at ease and like you are talking to an old friend, vs a Plastic Surgeon. I cannot recommend him more...he is simply amazing! Thank you Dr Edwards for restoring my confidence again! More
Unparalleled experience with Dr.Edwards - For the past several years I’ve struggled with recurrent capsular contracture, which left my breasts extremely distorted and very firm. As a woman it’s very disheartening to look in the mirror and be disappointed with what you see. After 3 separate surgeries with another surgeon, I decided it was time to seek out someone who specialized in breast revision and complex breast augmentation cases. After doing months of research and hearing the opinions of other woman who had suffered with various breast-related complications, I found Anson- Edward- Higgins Plastic Surgery Associates. I was referred by a friend to Dr. Edwards, recognized for his prestigious work with breast reconstruction and augmentation. After my initial consultation I knew that Dr. Edwards was the right plastic surgeon for my complicated case. His honesty, compassion, knowledge, and expertise is what sets him apart from other plastic surgeons in the valley. Professionally, Dr. Edwards has served on the boards of many plastic surgery associations, advocates for patient safety, and actively engages in research and development of improving the quality of reconstructive plastic surgery for patients. Dr. Edwards and I met several times to go over everything I’ve been through and my various reconstruction experiences. He was very thorough and detailed in collecting my past medical history and meticulously went through my past surgery notes to gain a better understanding of exactly what was in my body before developing a plan to operate. Every time I went into the office, I felt like I was speaking with a loved one or close friend. It is blatantly obvious how much Dr. Edwards cares about his patients in the way he treats them. In general, the plastic surgery associates office is one of opulence. It is decorated in clean glass walls, filled with friendly faces, and provides an unparalleled customer service experience. After several weeks of discussion, Dr. Edwards and I went over my surgery plans and I booked my surgery for about a month later. Fast forward to May 1st, 2018 and I underwent a total breast reconstruction. About 2 weeks out of surgery I feel the best I’ve ever felt. Although I still have a bit of recovery to go, I am absolutely overjoyed with my results and the continuous care of Dr. Edwards and his staff. I have nothing but kind words for Plastic Surgery Associates and highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Edwards at Plastic Surgery Associates for any type of procedure. Choosing a qualified, experienced, and compassionate plastic surgeon to care for your body is of the uttermost importance and I truly believe that person is Dr. Edwards and the staff at Plastic Surgery Associates.

Exactly what I wanted! - My friend sent me to Dr. Silver becasue she was thrilled after he did her filler and eyelid surgery. At first I was nervous seeing Dr. Silver because he looks so young. But after just a few minutes it was clear that he knows his stuff. He talked to me like a normal person! He ACTUALLY LISTENS and spent a lot of time explaining things to me. Best of all, he fixed my problems without surgery! Several of my friends have commented that I look like I came back from a nice vacation, but it was really Dr. Silver making me look better without changing "me".I will definitely be going back!! More

After searching all over town for a plastic surgeon to do my facelift, I found Dr. Silver. He was honest and conscientious, calming and personable, and focused on educating and answering all of my questions, which gave me the trust and confidence to move forward with surgery. His attention to detail and surgical precision then gave me absolutely amazing results...above and beyond my expectations! I look and feel better than I have in decades! Hands down, Dr. Silver is THE doctor to go to for facial plastic surgery in Las Vegas. More
Dr. silver was amazing! He was so calm and patient and explained everything to me. He checked on me after surgery, made sure I was clear on everything and he is just so nice. My results are exactly what I was looking for. Everyone used to ask me why I was so tired even when I wasn't because of how my eyes looked - not anymore! I'm going back to him when I'm ready for my face lift!! More
I have long struggled with stubborn dark under-eye circles and deep tear troughs, a combination of genetics, anatomy, and now aging. I am a physician myself, and as such I'm very particular and critical in assessing the care I receive as a patient. Dr. Silver was impressive and impeccable from start to finish. He took the time to explain both short and long-term treatment options to address my concerns, and provided natural-appearing results with Voluma using precise, painless technique. I look refreshed, well-rested, and more youthful. I trust and highly recommend Dr. Silver, and will be going back to him for all of my future aesthetic needs! More
Dr. Silver performed an Upper Blepharoplasty on me in late October and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I am so happy with my results. My pre-op consult with Dr Silver was very pleasant. He was very professional, thorough in explaining the surgery and the post-op recovery. He didn't rush me through the consults and spent plenty of time answering all my questions. One of my concerns was not having enough skin removed from the upper eyelids. Dr. Silver explained the importance of being conservative in what was removed and took multiple measurements to ensure the right amount was removed so the eyelids closed completely.It's a little over one month since my surgery and I've noticed great improvement with my visual field. Family noticed a huge improvement after one week. Amazing.If you are anxious about getting your eyes done, don't be. Dr. Silver is "the one". My suggestion is to follow his instructions, take all the vitamins they suggest and use the eye drops like crazy to help prevent dry eye. Dr. Silver is a perfectionist; just what you want. He is "the Best". Thanks tons Dr. Silver More

I'm an artist in Orange County and have been in Las Vegas for the past month for work. I wanted to do something nice for myself so I scheduled an appointment for filler and Botox with Dr. Silver. First off. Wow!! He is different than any other plastic surgeon that I have ever gone to - and I've seen several throughout LA/Orange County. Not only did he take the time to explain everything to me, including facial harmony and detailed anatomy (with pictures he drew himself) , but he ACTUALY TALKED ME OUT OF GETTING SOME THINGS DONE!! I've never had an experience like that. I usually feel like extra treatments are pushed on me that I don't usually need - not with Dr. silver. Never thought I'd be repeatedly leaving the OC to find a great doctor but he is my go to from here on out! More

38 Years Old,no Kids, (Starting at A/AA Cup) 140lbs, 5'7, Natrelle Silicone Cohesive Gel Moderate Profile, Under the Muscle - Motivations: 1. Breast changes. 2. Clothing. Outcome: (gorgeous breasts) 34c, perfect size 4/6 in dresses, same bikini size on top and bottom. My incisions are small and at the bottom of my breasts. I purchased new bras and swimwear only. No new clothes were needed. My friends cannot believe how amazing my results are. I never considered cosmetic surgery until this year and love my results! Be prepared for some inconvenience. I, personally had almost no pain. Sleeping at a 30 degree angle was tough, but went by fast. The anesthesiologist was wonderful. I woke up immediately after and had no vomiting.Get some hydrocortisone if you have sensitive skin. The compression strap was itchy for me. The office is clean, on schedule and professional. The surgery center was wonderful as well. My procedure started on time and went smoothly. Updated on 3 Jun 2017: 5 weeks out, in a wireless, unpadded sports bra. More
Amazing doctor and experience! - I could write a novel of good things to say about Dr. Edwards and his team. (I'll write a short one instead.). I went to Dr. Edwards four years ago for a consultation and knew then that he had to be my surgeon. (whenever that time was going to come.) I was only 20 at the time and he told me he thinks it would be best that I wait a couple of years and I am so thankful I did. Four years later I walked back into his office for yet another consult and he comes in the room and remembered who I was. What surgeon, who sees hundreds of patients remembers someone that he saw for maybe an hour, four years ago? This gentleman, he truly is amazing. Like all consults I tried on sizers and we ended up choosing 345cc moderate profile for my right breast and either a 295,310, or 330 cc's in my left breast. (My left breast is about 50ml's larger then my right). Which him and his wonderful talented team would decide on in surgery while they checked sizing to see what looked best on my frame. The day of surgery finally came and I was freaking out. Nervous, excited, anxious, scared, name an emotion and I was feeling it. I was shaking, could barely talk, and then Dr. Edwards walked into my waiting room and instantly I was at ease. We discussed everything that was going to be happening, went over implant sizes one more time and he reminded me that "Your breast are sisters, not twins" and I then insisted that whatever 4 implants looked best on my body and most natural to put those in. Dr. Bowman (the anesthesiologist) also came in to my room and talked to me before as well. He looked over my charts and we talked about my fasciotomy that I had a couple years back. He is just as sweet and amazing as Dr, Edwards. Dr. Edwards bedside manner is just as amazing as his work. He walked beside my bed into the surgery room, talked to me, and held my hand to calm me down until I was asleep. And when I woke up he was there checking on things and told me he already talked to my mom who was in the waiting room, that I did amazing and that my results were already beautiful! Today exactly one month later I am beyond happy with my results. They are the perfect size and so natural looking already. (Which is what I wanted.) There are no words to express how thankful and in love I am with my results, and with Dr. Edwards and his team. I got the exact dream results I was looking for and wanted for 7+ years. If you're as picky as I am, and want someone that can and will exceed your expectations then I without a doubt recommend and urge all you ladies to go to Dr. Edwards and his astonishing team. I know you will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Edwards, Dr. Bowman, Cathy, and Jacqueline, for all you're patience, love, and beautiful work!! More
A Miracle Worker - Las Vegas, NV - I am so lucky to have found Dr. Edwards. I was searching for a surgeon for a revision of my first breast augmentation and had consultations with six well known doctors across Southern California, Northern California, and Las Vegas, and Dr. Edwards was absolutely my first choice. He's knowledgeable, talented, and has exception bedside manner - he truly cares and wants what is best for you. I came to Dr. Edwards just 6 months after my first BA (with another surgeon). I was truly distraught about the results from my first surgery - I am not exaggerating when I say I could barely look in the mirror. Ultimately, I underwent a Breast Revision and Lift with Dr. Edwards. I was a difficult revision case, but Dr. Edwards worked his magic and I could honestly not be happier. My only regret is not going to him for my first surgery! More

What surgeon, who sees hundreds of patients remembers someone that he saw for maybe an hour, four years ago? This gentleman, he truly is amazing. Like all consults I tried on sizers and we ended up choosing 345cc moderate profile for my right breast and either a 295,310, or 330 cc's in my left breast. (My left breast is about 50ml's larger then my right). Which him and his wonderful talented team would decide on in surgery while they checked sizing to see what looked best on my frame. The day of surgery finally came and I was freaking out. Nervous, excited, anxious, scared, name an emotion and I was feeling it. I was shaking, could barely talk, and then Dr. Edwards walked into my waiting room and instantly I was at ease. We discussed everything that was going to be happening, went over implant sizes one more time and he reminded me that "Your breast are sisters, not twins" and I then insisted that whatever 4 implants looked best on my body and most natural to put those in. Dr. Bowman (the anesthesiologist) also came in to my room and talked to me before as well. He looked over my charts and we talked about my fasciotomy that I had a couple years back. He is just as sweet and amazing as Dr, Edwards. Dr. Edwards bedside manner is just as amazing as his work. He walked beside my bed into the surgery room, talked to me, and held my hand to calm me down until I was asleep. And when I woke up he was there checking on things and told me he already talked to my mom who was in the waiting room, that I did amazing and that my results were already beautiful! Today exactly one month later I am beyond happy with my results. They are the perfect size and so natural looking already. (Which is what I wanted.) There are no words to express how thankful and in love I am with my results, and with Dr. Edwards and his team. I got the exact dream results I was looking for and wanted for 7+ years. If you're as picky as I am, and want someone that can and will exceed your expectations then I without a doubt recommend and urge all you ladies to go to Dr. Edwards and his astonishing team. I know you will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Edwards, Dr. Bowman, Cathy, and Jacqueline, for all you're patience, love, and beautiful work!! More
I had previously had primary breast augmentation surgery followed by 2 revision surgeries before going to Dr. Edwards. Because of the large sized implants that were placed at my last revision surgery, I developed symmastia. At my first appointment with Dr. Edwards, he identified the issue immediately and then spent a quality amount of time explaining to me the problem and how he would repair the damage and improve the aesthetics of my breasts. During multiple follow up consultation visits, Dr. Edwards took ample amounts of time to review my case with me and to ease any concerns that I had about having an additional surgery. Throughout the entire consultation process, the actual surgery, and the post-op visits, Dr. Edwards was extremely compassionate and caring. My results from surgery with Dr. Edwards are very satisfactory. Not only were his surgical skills exemplary, but his bed-side manner was very impressive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards to anyone seeking breast surgery in the Las Vegas or surrounding areas. More
Motivations: 1. Breast changes. 2. Clothing. Outcome: (gorgeous breasts) 34c, perfect size 4/6 in dresses, same bikini size on top and bottom. My incisions are small and at the bottom of my breasts. I purchased new bras and swimwear only. No new clothes were needed.My friends cannot believe how amazing my results are. I never considered cosmetic surgery until this year and love my results! Be prepared for some inconvenience. I, personally had almost no pain. Sleeping at a 30 degree angle was tough, but went by fast. The anesthesiologist was wonderful. I woke up immediately after and had no vomiting.Get some hydrocortisone if you have sensitive skin. The compression strap was itchy for me. The office is clean, on schedule and professional. The surgery center was wonderful as well. My procedure started on time and went smoothly.Updated on 3 Jun 2017:5 weeks out, in a wireless, unpadded sports bra. READ THE FULL STORY More
Dr Higgins is not just a great surgeon but also a sincerely caring individual and compassionate person!

I am so lucky to have found Dr. Edwards. I was searching for a surgeon for a revision of my first breast augmentation and had consultations with six well known doctors across Southern California, Northern California, and Las Vegas, and Dr. Edwards was absolutely my first choice. He's knowledgeable, talented, and has exception bedside manner - he truly cares and wants what is best for you. I came to Dr. Edwards just 6 months after my first BA (with another surgeon). I was truly distraught about the results from my first surgery - I am not exaggerating when I say I could barely look in the mirror. Ultimately, I underwent a Breast Revision and Lift with Dr. Edwards. I was a difficult revision case, but Dr. Edwards worked his magic and I could honestly not be happier. My only regret is not going to him for my first surgery! More

I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Dr. Edwards is amazing and his office staff is too. Kathy and Jackie were so helpful, honest and knowledgeable and took their time with me.

I am in my 60's and had a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast lift. I wish I had done this 20 years ago. All the things I disliked about my body after having two children and breastfeeding are gone and I think my body looks better than it did in my 20's. It is so much fun to get dressed every day and I love how I look. It's also great to shop for clothes and not having to worry about camouflaging my torso. More

I'm writing the review because I too was unsure of hyaluronidase and confused about the reviews. I'm here to reassure you that , it does work. I had juvaderm ultra plus in my nasolabial folds and the plastic surgeon inh bred very high on the corners of my nose causing a buttress , enhancing my nasalis muscle bs distorting my smile. I saw the immediate change in my smile and asked him to undo it at my 2 week follow up. He said he does not know how to use the reversal agent and told me to wait for my body to dissolve it on its own. 30 months later I saw only minimal change and went to Dr. Goesel Anson in Las Vegas who stated the vycriss technology makes it more difficult to dissolve if a patient waits . Thankfully she started to dissolve it and it has become softer and less noticeable. Although I am not back to my old face, I do look better. I have not noticed any of my own tissue being affected. It usually takes multiple times at tiny doses with a weekly follow up. You need to go to a doctor that uses the enzyme for corrections regularly and not just any injector. Filler CAN last for years and it can cause your own collagen stimulation. I have noticed no scar tissue in my own face buty nasilabial folds are not ax pronounced and it has been 30 months since I used my one and only filler. It may get encapsulated or it may have been placed inappropriately or too much may have been used. Please note that skin under the eyes is different . Lips are also different. I can only let you know if my experience . I have had juvaderm ultra filler in my lips with Dr. Michaela Tozzi, DDS in Las Vegas and have had no bruising or bumps and am very happy. I am not sure I would recommend nasolabial injections after my experience. Good luck to all of you and God bless. More
Dr Anson is a talented and meticulous plastic surgeon. Her attention to detail and perfectionist attitude makes her the type of plastic surgeon I could trust my face with. I couldn't be happier with the results. I look natural, but more youthful, without a plastic look. Her staff are well trained, kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend her as a top ranking facial plastic surgeon! More
Finally Got the Boobies I've Always Wanted! 5'7", 145LBS, 25 Y/O - Las Vegas, NV - My breasts came in very early on, and they came in nearly full size. I was teased a lot for them, which caused me to slouch in order to hide them. I have never felt truly confident with my chest size, especially when I noticed in my mid/late teen years that I had lost much of the perkiness that I once had. I felt that though they looked good in a bra, all of my confidence was lost the minute I... More

Amazing doctor and experience! - I could write a novel of good things to say about Dr. Edwards and his team. (I'll write a short one instead.). I went to Dr. Edwards four years ago for a consultation and knew then that he had to be my surgeon. (whenever that time was going to come.) I was only 20 at the time and he told me he thinks it would be best that I wait a couple of years and I am so thankful I did. Four years later I... More
Absolutely Amazing! - I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Edwards and his staff. From start to finish, they provided amazing service and often made me feel like I was their only patient. It's important to choose a surgeon that takes time to really understand your needs. Dr. Edwards far exceeded all my expectations! More
600cc Ultra High Profile Under the Muscle-2 Days Pre-op So Nervous - I have decided on 600 cc's vs the 650 the surgeon recommended. I think that's high enough to not have size regret, yet just a touch smaller than the size that my mind thought was huge.I have everything prepared for after the surgery. Pillows, all of my medications are filled, the refrigerator is filled with food that is easy to prepare for my teenager. I have a lot of comfortable clothes the only thing I need to get are workout bras, but I will wait until after the surgery to do that. I went back and forth on the sizing within the last 2 weeks I think sometimes when you read too much information it makes it much more difficult to decide and feel comfortable with your decision. But after much thought and talking to people that I knew that experienced it I have decided on the 600cc option. I'm nervous about how I handle the pain. Everyone is different and I have found some people thought it was so extremely painful for several days after and some people who said it was not. I think I'm most worried about going under. I don't do well with anesthesia nor do I do with narcotic pain medication so I will be probably using all of the nausea medication that was prescribed. Earlier in the week I went through my closet throwing away some of the stuff I know I for sure could not wear afterwards and just looking at everything trying to see if I would be able to fit into it afterwards... it almost felt nostalgic, like I was sad to see that part go. I was excited to see how I'd look in some of the tops that I didn't fill out well before. My mind is constantly on this. 2 more days! My sister is flying in from California tomorrow afternoon. One thing that did happen last week is the blood test results that the physician took in the office came back with some high results they didn't tell me what was high but they sent me to an actual outside laboratory so I am kind of nervous that they might cancel the surgery on Monday until whatever is going on with my high results gets resolved. I'm pretty sure it will be fine. I think I might have just been dehydrated so that is the one thing that I am waiting to hear from the doctor's office tomorrow I will be calling them the minute that they open in the morning, LOL.

50 and ready to be implant free - Las Vegas, NV - My goal is to have my implants removed. I have 20 maybe more years of life left and there is a lot of things i want to do! The boobs that once gave me the confidence i needed are just in the way and serving me no purpose. I may very well need a lift six months to a year down the road after I heal. I've had over the muscle implants since I was 27, I nursed my daughter for six months at 31. Switched out the saline for silicone almost 10 years ago. Now they just seem heavy and in the way. Updated on 10 Feb 2016: Thank you to everyone that's posted on this site. Looking forward to embracing the old me. My explant is Monday February 15. This is my second set of implants. Dr. Higgins replaced my 1992 saline implants with this silicone pair in 2006. Although is was an improvement i am ready to be free from implants entirely. Dr Higgins and his staff are wonderful and this is so much easier for me because of them. I'll let you know how it goes. Updated on 15 Feb 2016: My boobies are more sore than usual, I'm sure it's anxiety. Updated on 16 Feb 2016: Home am feeling loopy. Wrapped up tighter than a drum. I have drains and glad I do. Sneak peak tomorrow at the docs and I'll snap a photo. Updated on 16 Feb 2016: Evening drain emply and measure (the first one at home) About 4 hours / 40ml each. So glad I have the drains, imagine all that filling up the cavity. Really happy to have them out. Everybody at Durango Surgery was great. Dr Higgins has a great team! Updated on 17 Feb 2016: I just got home from Dr Higgins office. The facility and the staff are wonderful. I was pleased to see that he went through my original scar around the nipple :) Looks a bit frightening now but I am so happy to be free of the implant and all the capsule. Updated on 18 Feb 2016: Doc said yesterday to keep the velcro 4" wide strap over the compression bra (that is over a couple of pads) as tight as i can stand it. Drains will come out tomorrow. I changed the pads out today and snapped this photo. Updated on 19 Feb 2016: Updated on 23 Feb 2016: Over my soprts bra i am wearing a 4" elastic velcro band as tight as i can stand it. I Have no breast tissue and alot of skin and tissue that needs to heal and hopefully retract. Right now they still look like the last photo. I only unwrap them long enough for a shower. I'll see Dr Higgins agian in three days. My over the muscle silicone implants were removed through my original nipple incisions so in my case, no tissue to hide a scar under the fold, so that's a plus. A little nervous the fluff fairy may never visit. The best part is the stiff and sore neck that i have lived with for years doesn't hurt and my range of motion has increased by at least 20 percent!! I can hardly wait to go back to pilates, yoga and golf !! Updated on 28 Feb 2016: I'm not seeing much improvement. Three days without compression. I don't have enough tissue for a "aa" cup. You can still see and feel the space where the implants rested. Still sore and sensative to the touch. The silicone implants were removed through insisions below my nipples. Those stittches will desolve on their own eventually. 10 years ago i have "textured" saline implants replaced with this second set. Some of the very little tissue I had came out with those implants. I'm hopeful that next weeks update photo will be and improvement. Really Greatful for all your stories on here. Updated on 8 Mar 2016: I have been massaging. I have been using a manual breast pump as suggested by my PS. The scar tissue is winning. I can't exersize and it seems the rest of me is falling apart too. Okay enough about me. I am happy to be implant free :) It can only get better, right?!? Updated on 28 Mar 2016: Trying to decide if the massaging and breast pump are helping. I can feel the scar tissue teathered to ? the muscle maybe. I see the PS tomorrow. More
Explant and Full Capsulectomy, No Implant Replacement - Las Vegas, NV - I interviewed six surgeons in the Las Vegas area to explant/capsulectomy my 9 year old saline implants and *not* replace them. Dr. Edwards easily skunked them all! His professionalism, experience, calm demeanor and above all compassion, helped me decide he was the right surgeon. My results are impressive and I highly recommend him! Updated on 8 Apr 2016: If I could change my review of Dr. Edwards, I'd like to. I haven't seen Dr. Edwards since day after my surgery. Because I didn't go with his over-priced lift (decided not to after seeing his terrible lift pics), I guess I'm no longer important. His nurse, Jacqueline needs her butt kissed in order to have some kind of humane post-op care. I'm leaving the state for any further procedures. Vegas is too much of a slimy, toilet. More
30 Years Old, Time to Do Something for Me! Boobs It Is! - Las Vegas, NV - After battling infertility, endometriosis, having 9 surgeries in 10 years, several kidney stones, loss of several children and feeling like I'm not even fit to be a woman , I finally decided it was time to do something for myself. The surgeon and anesthesiologist were the best! Pain was intense for the first 3 weeks. Often times I wondered what the heck I had just done. I developed Mondor's Cords which were the biggest part of the pain. Intensely painful! The pain of the actual surgery would've only lasted a few days to a week if it wasn't for that. The outcome is, in Dr. Edward's (and my) words, "BEAUTIFUL"! I am beyond happy and have no regrets! Now that the pain is gone and they are settling, I LOVE them even more than ever! Updated on 23 Jun 2016: More
30 year old with 10 Year Old Implants Removed with a Lift. Las Vegas, NV - I have had my implants for 10 years and I was never pleased with the symmetry or look. The years went by and I had two children and gained a little weight so my breast looked much different 10 years later. They were heavy, I had painful scar tissue on one side, and overall they did not flatter my body and lifestyle. Dr. Edwards and his staff were very open to what I wanted to have done. They were extremely open about possible outcomes and how it would be difficult to adjust to the new look. I decided after a lot of research and conversations with my husband that our best route would be a removal and lift. I could not be happier with the outcome! The entire process has been wonderful. Dr. Edwards and his staff provided me with the most thorough care from start to this point. Preventative measures were put in place to reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. I am currently using an amazing product to help with scar reduction and I can already see a huge improvement after a few days. I can not say enough good things about this doctor!

19, 5'8, Weigh 130, 400 Cc Silicone - Las Vegas, NV - I've always been insecure when it comes to my girls, so I decided to get a breast augmentation. I picked 400 cc silicone.

"55, Single, and Happy." - Las Vegas, NV - Dr. Anson did a super job on my face and neck. I don't look like I just had a full face lift but people tell me I look great. I have a few scars behind my ears and one tiny scar under my chin. My face feels and looks fresh and soft without all the sagging skin around my mouth and eyes and my neck looks tight. The recovery time is short. I had my stitches and bandages removed the day after surgery and essentially watched Netflix for a week while I waited for the swelling to go down. The follow-up care with Dr. Anson and her staff is also excellent and they addressed all my questions. The surgery is worth every dollar; it's comforting to know going in that you're getting the best! More

I went to Dr. Higgins for a rhinoplasty. I am a 45 year old male. Had a number of broken noses from playing sports. I also wanted volume reduction. He mostly does breast work, but was very confident in his abilities. His Dad had actually taken care of me for a broken kneecap a year before and did a great job with that. He is an orthopedic surgeon. The results are excellent. He told me that I would continue to see improvement even 2 years later and he was correct. It is interesting how long it takes for the final rhinoplasty results. My nose is nice and straight and much smaller. No breathing issues either. Only downside of the experience is that his office is always jam-packed with patients. Show up 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment time. They are always running behind. More

Beyond Happy, Love Julia! - Las Vegas, NV - I found Dr. Edwards through word of mouth which I feel is the best was to find a doctor. He should be very proud of himself because he lives up to every complement I heard, and I asked around a lot. Not only do I absolutely love my upgrade I truly adore him. I went into his office and just asked for the same size just new and improved. I didn't want to try to understand cc's and profiles so I just let him do what he does best. I went from saline to silicone and from in front of my muscle to behind. I can say whole hearted that I LOVE my chest and could not be any happier with his work. Also I would like add that Jacqueline was wonderful through the whole process. She is his right hand lady that will help you before during and after with the what to expects and all the instructions. I have to say thank you to her for her personal check up calls, her patience and her very gentle hand for care after surgery. I would recommend Dr.Edwards for first timers and for major reconstruction because his work is incredible along with his bed side and staff to match! More

The boobs that once gave me the confidence i needed are just in the way and serving me no purpose. I may very well need a lift six months to a year down the road after I heal. I've had over the muscle implants since I was 27, I nursed my daughter for six months at 31. Switched out the saline for silicone almost 10 years ago. Now they just seem heavy and in the way. More
47 Year Old Replacing Saline with Silicone Implants. Las Vegas, NV - I decided to have my saline implants replaced after 15 years with silicone implants. I refused to go to any one but the best. Time and time again as I was doing research on who to go to, Dr. Edwards' name consistently came up. I am a perfectionist by nature and wanted my revision done by someone who cared for detail. I absolutely made the right decision. I am so happy with the results. They don't look fake at all. I went a little bigger. They look natural and beautiful. His office is professional, clean and organized. A must for me. And his nurse is the absolute best. She gives honest feedback and really knows her stuff when it comes to implants. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Edwards. More
Rhinoplasty. Las Vegas, NV - I went to Dr. Higgins for a rhinoplasty. I am a 45 year old male. Had a number of broken noses from playing sports. I also wanted volume reduction. He mostly does breast work, but was very confident in his abilities. His Dad had actually taken care of me for a broken kneecap a year before and did a great job with that. He is an orthopedic surgeon. The results are excellent. He told me that I would continue to see improvement even 2 years later and he was correct. It is interesting how long it takes for the final rhinoplasty results. My nose is nice and straight and much smaller. No breathing issues either. Only downside of the experience is that his office is always jam-packed with patients. Show up 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment time. They are always running behind. More
Best Surgeon in Vegas. Las Vegas, NV - I don't even know where to start with this review, everything was beyond amazing. From the front desk ladies to the office and Doctor Edwards himself. First when I walked into the office for my consult I was surprised at how beautifully it was decorated. I was greeted by a super nice front desk lady. I sat for probably 5 minutes before they called me back. I sat in the room for a couple minutes and then doctor Edwards came in. Fully clothed we talked about my wants and desires for the surgery. Then I was asked to undress and take a picture for the vectra (which is amazing) after the vectra dr Edwards suggested some sizes based on my breast width. My two choices were 300 moderate and 400 high profile. His surgical assistant Stephanie (I think that's her name) brought in sizers and a bra for me. I tried on both and and decided on 400. I'm a pretty talk and muscular girl so it was a perfect natural looking size for me. Then dr Edwards came back in to review my choice. He was very pleased and so was I. He answered all my questions directly and was never trying to make me feel stupid for asking. He was so comforting! At one point in the appointment I started turning really red because of my nerves and he did all he could to assure me that I was in good hands! It was so sweet of him. After that I met with his surgical coordinator jackylin to discuss payment and schedualing. The procedure cost 6100 with smooth round silicon implants from allergen. And they were able to do my surgery 3 weeks later. The day of the operation I was so nervous!!! They wheeled me into the or and then dr Edwards came in. He was asking me questions to calm my nerves. His voice and his bedside manner are soooo calming. I woke up with minimal pain and no nausea. All of my post op appointments have been a breeze! I'm 3 weeks post op now and I can say this was the best choice of my life and dr Edwards made it so much easier to make this decision. I would do it all over again if I had to! If you are debating on doctors do yourself a favor and choose dr Edwards! Him and his amazing staff are a god send. More
Waited Years to Do This! Extremely happy with results!5'5 125pds34a 400cc HP SILICONE Las Vegas, NV - Just received my BA this morning. I've been obsessed on this website since my consultation. Wasn't going to post anything but all the women's reviews helped me tremendously! Hopefully mine can help someone too. I went 400cc HP AND 375 HP to correct asymmetry. Can't wait to have the bandages removed tomorrow. Pain was not bad at all just feel a lot of pressure and I can't sleep! It's 1am and I'm normally out by 830pm. I work long shifts and workout a lot so I'm usually exhausted but since I cant I feel like I'm WIDE AWAKE which is frustrating. I'll post my before pic can't wait to see the dressing off tomorrow. But thank goodness to all of the women that have come before me I am expecting shock and reminding myself this is not the final product. I am very confident in my surgeon and that has helped with the anxiety level. They are sisters not twins! No such thing as perfection. I see a lot of women on here struggling with that. It's truly heartbreaking to see that.... Anyway update tomorrow after post op appointment ???? Updated on 22 Apr 2015: In absolute shock of how beautiful they already look. It is so important to have a surgeon that you trust and know will give you the best results possible. I had a lot of fear about the big reveal but that has all subsided! Happy as can be!! Updated on 23 Apr 2015: I may be imagining things but it looks and feels like they are dropping already! Maybe I'm just being hopeful. The bra they gave me feels like it's way too small and is digging into my skin pretty badly. I wonder if I can go buy a different one? I don't want to do anything BUT follow all my surgeons directions completely. Felt really good this morning and made the mistake of doing some cleaning around the house. Now I'm lying here in some pain. Pretty sure though after tomorrow the pain meds will not be necessary. I hope because my digestive system is not functioning correctly!! I think the hardest thing about this surgery is going to be when I'm feeling great and back to normal and I can't workout or do the things I want to. Anyways here's some photos feel free to tell me if I am imagining things and they look the same lol. Thanks ladies! Hope everyone is feeling well this morning! Updated on 23 Apr 2015: Going to try and sleep. Has anyone else had issues falling asleep? I'm sure it's because I am so used to be so busy lying around is hard. I did do a bathing suit top comparison because I felt boob greed coming on. Good thing I did brought my mind back to being happy not look for more. Updated on 24 Apr 2015: Have some bruising on my right breast which received the larger implant. I feel like the left is dropping quicker than the right but overall happy. Going to try to stop all pain meds tomorrow and just use Tylenol. Overall feeling great just can't wait for them to soften. Can anyone tell me their experience with how long it took for them to not feel so hard? Updated on 25 Apr 2015: Absolutely loving them today! Feel like they are dropping and looking natural :) More
43 and 2 Kids - Las Vegas, NV - I am 5 ft and 104 lbs with a small frame. I have always been a small A and wanted to achieve a full B. Even with all the padding, I didn't fill up my bras and as a result I never truly felt sexy. It's Day 1 post op and can't wait to see what's under the bandages. My PS and I agreed upon 265 cc to give me the look I wanted to achieve. I don't have any pictures yet but I will post them once I am able too. Updated on 2 Aug 2015: I don't have any before photos. I'm 5ft, 104 lbs and petite in stature, measuring a little over an 11 bwd. Before surgery I barely fit into an A cup. My goal was to choose a size that fit my stature look natural, and make me feel good about myself. I love how I look and pray that I don't shrink anymore. Updated on 6 Sep 2015: More
35 YO, BF 2 Kids, 5'7", 130lbs, 78LB+ Weight Loss... - After two kids, a 75lb+ weighloss, and the quest for the perfect PS... I'm still at a loss for what to do... Implant or no implant? Attached, is my most recent photo taken. Initially, I had only wanted a lift and reduction on my left breast, to correct a 200cc breast asymmetry. After my weightloss, my right breast is a B-cup and the asymmetry as dwindled to only a 50cc difference.So here are my options...OPTION #1: Have the breast lift/reduction only. This may leave me with a large A cup or even a small B. (These are only my guestimates as my PS doesn't speak in "cup sizes".) Live with the correction, and if I'm not happy with the size, go in for a 2nd surgery and have silicone implants placed underneath the muscle.OPTION #2: Have only one surgery, a BL with Augmentation. Because of the width of my breasts the smallest implant I am a candidate for is a 371cc high profile silicone implant. With the right implant having to be approximately 50CCs larger. Here is my dilemma....First, I don't want large breasts, and 371cc and a 425cc implant seems HUGE to me. Second, I'm very active... are my breasts going to get in the way? Third, what if I gain the weight back? Not only will the possibility of a greater asymmetry returning... but now will my breasts be like a DD? My PS is the BEST in town and now is recommending only one surgery instead of two. I'm excited to get the asymmetry fixed but hesitant that with the implants, I will look overweight, or worse my breasts will be HUGE! Based off all this information, and my picture above. What would you do? More

2 Kids, Wanting to Restore Volume - NV - Hi everyone! I went to have a consult with 1 board certified plastic surgeon and have another appointment with another one this Friday. Was wondering if anyone out there with similar breasts to mine have gotten a BA and what CCs they chose to do. He recommended 450-500 and no lift. Opinions? I really don't want a lift if it's not needed but I also don't want my nipples to face downward after having implants done. I don't mind if they aren't 100% centered but I also don't want them to face south More

37 Years Old - 5'5 - 96lbs - 32A (Barely) - Very Narrow Base- 3 Kids - Las Vegas, NV - I've been to two consults and had more scheduled, but didn't need to after meeting with Dr.Edwards and his team. I feel he is very experienced and trust him. I have 2 choices High Profile natrelle 260ccs or super high profile natrelle 280ccs. As you know 20ccs doesn't make a difference, but the shape of implant will. Dr. Edwards suggests the hp260ccs. He says it will give me a more natural look and will have the prettiest outcome since I have little tissue. At first, I agreed. But after reading more reviews, I'm wondering if I should go for the super high profiles. It will be fake looking like oranges..lol, but I really want upper pole fullness without a push up bra. I hate bras and padding. That's why I want fake boobies. I can't find many reviews or pictures of people who have super high or ultra high profiles. It would be so helpful if I could talk to someone who has experience with these type of projection implants. I can't decide!!! Help! Thank you all! More

Breast reduction 2004 Las Vegas, NV - Dr Edwards performed a breast reduction/lift on me almost ten years ago. My breasts look amazing. I went from wearing frumpy clothing and refusing to take my shirt of during intimacy to a confident young woman. I am patient number 17 on his site if you would like to look at my before and afters. I did do implants one year later as I did not feel full enough up top (what can I say i was 25 living in Las Vegas). They were also amazing! Having a breast reduction was the best thing I ever did for myself. Implants is something to think long and hard about as I do regret that as I am aging and they need to be redone. That is of course of no fault of Dr Edwards. He staff is so friendly, my recovery was a breeze, and he is incredibly down to earth. His office was also beautiful but looks as they have moved. I am sure it is lovely. Updated on 13 Jun 2014: My mistake, I am patient 13. http://www.medwardsmd.com/gallery/breastliftgallery.html More
28 Years Old, 5"3, 127lbs, Athletic, No Children, Currently Deflated C Cup Wanting DD Cup (Saline/above Muscle/Inframammary) - Where do I begin? When I was a little girl I would literally pray at night for large breasts....well, I got them, at the age of 18. I was a D cup by the time I was 21. I look back now at pictures and I probably got those big breasts because I got FAT. Well, I found the gym when I turned 23, so as you guessed it, I lost my breasts. I joined the military when I was 18 and have been in ever since... More
I had 360 cc smooth saline implants under the muscle for 15 years. I am 5ft 8" tall, and at the age of 23 thought I needed to have at least a C cup to match my curvy figure. Also, I lived in Los Angeles, where all of my friends were getting bigger breasts and it seemed pretty simple. I hated the feeling of having implants in my body the minute I woke up from surgery. I lost a lot of feeling in one of my breasts and nipples, and it changed my sex life for the worse. Even though I liked the way I filled out clothes and bras, I was always aware of these foreign objects in my body, and sleeping on my stomach or having a massage became very uncomfortable. After 10 years of having implants I began having health issues. My thyroid was low, my adrenals were fatigued, I had random aches and pains in my joints, stomach issues, 24 hour a day headaches and dizziness, and the list goes on. I spent 5 years trying to figure out this could be happening. I eat very healthy, exercise, and take very good care of myself. About a year ago, I started reading articles about breast implants causing these sorts of health problems, and that was it for me. I was having pain in my left breast and was due to either have my implants replaced, or I could remove them and be done with it. I chose to remove my implants with no lift, and my doctor performed a full capsulectomy and also did a revision on my right areola scar. My surgery went well with no complications and I could not be happier! Everyone comments to me that I look like I lost 10 pounds, and I look much more athletic. I feel so much lighter, and it was great shopping for small tops instead of large! I feel much healthier, and half of my symptoms have disappeared. I think in time, all of my symptoms will be gone.Updated on 20 Oct 2013:I am at almost 4 months now since my surgery, and I am adding new pics of my progress so far. I will never regret having my implants removed and am seeing new improvements every week! I know at this point I will not be getting a lift, and I feel like my breasts have really filled in the last few months. Having my implants removed was the best health decision I could of made for myself :)Updated on 21 Feb 2014:Hi everyone, I am happy to say I am 8 months since explant and doing really well! I continue to see improvement monthly. My surgeon said it takes about a year to heal, and he is definitely right! My health continues to improve too! I have posted updated pics. Thanks for all the support. It has really made this journey so much easier :)Updated on 22 Feb 2014:I am posting my old before implant pics. Sorry for the bad picture quality.

Amazing Plastic Surgeon , Best in Las Vegas! - Las Vegas, NV - After contemplating a breast augmentation for many years i began to research plastic surgeons in Las Vegas . I had heard good things about Dr. Edwards from several friends who had work done by him and were pleased with their results. After seeing him and a few other doctors in the area I knew right away I was making the right choice by choosing Dr. Edwards and was certain I would be getting A+ work. He is very honest and realistic about what type of results you will get after your surgery and takes the time to go over your body with you and only gives you options that will look good for your body type specifically. I also never felt rushed. I was very confused on what size I should get and the Dr. as well as his staff was very patient with me as I went back a couple times just to try on implant sizes. Dr. Edwards is one of the most compassionate, caring doctors I have ever met and although he is running a business i never felt like he was after my money and I truly feel like his number one priority was my safety and to make me feel as comfortable as possible while going through with my breast augmentation. I had my surgery at Flamingo surgery center and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff there. They put my nerves at ease and made the surgery process easier than I expected. The Anesthesiologist Dr. Boman is very gentle and kind , and very experienced ( he is also pretty funny ). You can be assured you are in good hands. Dr. Edwards is available all hours of any day and always there to answer questions you may have before and after surgery. It has been three weeks out from surgery and so far I am very pleased with my results. I have already recommended Dr. Edwards to a friend who is having her breasts done by him later this month, just as I would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who truly cares for his patients and does amazing plastic surgery ! Thank you again to Dr Edwards, Dr. Boman, Kathy, Jackie Perez, Kelly and everyone at the flamingo surgery center for everything you have done for me ! More

5'9 130lbs..post op DAY 5 Las Vegas, NV - Hi ladies! Thanks for the responses ahead of time! To give you a brief rundown.. i'm 5'9, 130lbs.. tiny up top, bigger on bottom! My measurements are 32b, 23, 37! I have been wanting bigger boobs for goodness knows how long- I'm 26 and finally built up the courage to do it! My deposit is down and my mom booked a flight to come take care of me.. so no turning back now!! I have no kids, not married, just in a long term committed relationship.. boy is he excited!! haha :) My first big thing was deciding between HP and Mod +, decided to go with HP.. my BWD is like 11, so for the volume I want It was necessary to go with HP. My doc usually does HP and his work is beautiful- so hoping to achieve a somewhat natural look! :) Now, the hard part- I want to look natural but also want full boobs i'm happy with. My doctor said to go up to 375 because under the muscle hides about 25cc? But now i'm thinking maybe to go with 400cc and have about 25cc hidden..

Fat Transfer to Cheeks - Las Vegas, NV - My procedure will be on Thursday, August 29th at around 2:45pm. I have my medications (sedative, pain killers, antibiotics, and a steroid pack), my husband who will be my caregiver that day, and a healthy dose of skepticism.I've never focused on my cheeks until after my rhinoplasty in April; they say plastic surgery can be a slippery slope (although I only want to focus on skin texture after this procedure). My cheeks are hollow--they're non-existent and when I smile I can actually see a sunken in area where my 'cheeks' are suppose to be. So not only do I lack volume, it looks like I have actual depth where I shouldn't. I love the look of full, apple-like cheeks and have been desiring a more concentrated look in that particular area of my face.I am 22 years old and have had filler under my eyes (tear trough area), so I'm no stranger to hollowness. I figure without cheeks, any under eye circles I have will be more pronounced because there are no fatty cheeks to sustain my undereye area! I hope this procedure will mean less filler under my eyes.I am having this procedure under local anesthesia; meaning 1-2 oral nerve blocks, a sedative, and my experience with needles to the face before (juvederm, restylane, etc). I am scared about the procedure because they will have to harvest fat from my stomach (hopefully she can get enough), centrifuge/clean/do what they need to do, and then use a huge needle (fat is thicker than filler) in the cheek area. I've been instructed to take a second sedative pill if need be and I'm almost saying yes (and this is a few days before haha). I'm having this as an in-office procedure because I want to have better control over where she places the fat; this isn't a nose job or a tummy tuck. It is still a major event, but I believe I can handle it.My goal is to have full, cheeky cheeks without looking like a chipmunk. I say this because I want the fat to be injected only in the cheek area; I dislike that overfilled look some people can get. So by simply concentrating the fat in the cheek area, I can have a more contoured look.I have Bromelain and Arnica Montana to take following the procedure, as well as a tapering steroid pack to alleve any swelling. I took the week off and hope I can get back to normal, light activities (office work/school) quickly. I know the results may take months as the dust settles and the fat stays/reabsorbs, so I will take plenty of photos.I chose my own fat over filler because I know some of the fat injected will stay with me forever--even if it's 10% I would be happy (and typically filler can't do that--they're designed to dissolve). I love the idea that fat usually lasts longer, some of the fat you keep stays with you, and it can look more natural over time. Of course there are pros and cons to everything, so I hope ill be happy in the end.If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. More

5'9 130lbs..post op DAY 5 Las Vegas, NV - Hi ladies! Thanks for the responses ahead of time! To give you a brief rundown.. i'm 5'9, 130lbs.. tiny up top, bigger on bottom! My measurements are 32b, 23, 37! I have been wanting bigger boobs for goodness knows how long- I'm 26 and finally built up the courage to do it! My deposit is down and my mom booked a flight to come take care of me.. so no turning back now!! I have no kids, not married, just in a long term committed relationship.. boy is he excited!! haha :) My first big thing was deciding between HP and Mod +, decided to go with HP.. my BWD is like 11, so for the volume I want It was necessary to go with HP. My doc usually does HP and his work is beautiful- so hoping to achieve a somewhat natural look! :) Now, the hard part- I want to look natural but also want full boobs i'm happy with. My doctor said to go up to 375 because under the muscle hides about 25cc? But now i'm thinking maybe to go with 400cc and have about 25cc hidden.. BUT-I don't want it to be SO noticeable :) I would love opinions! Been taking my vitamins.. buying sports bras, ice packs.. getting everything ready! Anxious but excited! Thank you! xoxoxo More
Made it to the flat side - I am 40 years old, have 3 children and am married to the love of my life! I could never begin to say enough wonderful things about my husband. He has always loved me (from the time I was 125 pounds and even when I was 208 pounds after my pregnancies). My bad body journey began 22 years ago with the birth of our first son. I didn't gain a lot of weight however at age 19, I had a c-section scar, the c-section pooch and enough stretch marks that my stomach looked like a roadmap. I had 2 more children via c-section and then gained about 70 pounds. I have lost all the weight with the exception of about 8 pounds. Despite the fact I lost all the weight, I have been left with a ton of stomach and hip skin. In fact, at 142 pounds, I wear size 12's and they are somewhat tight and my belly is always prominent. I researched doctors in three different states, including Dr. Garth Fisher in Beverly Hills, Dr. Sean Lille in Scottsdale and ultimately settled on Dr. Terrence Higgins in Las Vegas, Nevada. I learned in my early 20's after getting horrible breast implants from a "billboard doctor" that plastic surgery and bargain shopping do not mix. I am having a full tummy tuck, liposuction, new silicone implants, breast lift/reduction/implant removal and replacement and fat injections in my face. My current implants are saline and are 600 cc's. Unfortunately my billboard doctor convinced me that it was way better to give me ginormous implants instead of a lift. I had my original implants done after my first child, so these implants have suffered through 2 pregnancies. My boobs grew to a size F when I was pregnant. Today, they feel and look like giant bags of wet sand. Dr. Higgins is going to lift my breasts and reduce them to a full C. I have felt like I have been trapped in this awful body for over 20 years. I am incredibly nervous because my surgery is 6+ hours but I feel like my fear has kept me in this body for 20 years. Dr .Higgins uses a pain pump so the pain shouldn't be horrible. I will post pictures later. More
Love the NEW Me :) - Las Vegas, NV - Growing up I was never blessed with full breasts. I spent lots of money on padded bras from Victoria secret and dreaded bathing suit shopping. I was just self conscious about the way I looked in clothes and always had to wear a bra. I started doing research online and talked to my girlfriends about my interest in a breast augmentation. I kept hearing about Dr Edwards from word of mouth and then decided to do a google search. He is Board Certified which I loved and his photos are just what I was looking for! I am a mother of 2 and I didn't want to look fake. My entire experience and result has been more than I could hope for!!Updated on 1 Mar 2012:I am a 30 yr old woman and I received a breast enlargement! I am about 5' 5" and had B size breasts, probably more like an A cup but I would always buy the B cup to feel a little larger. I have a pretty petite frame and wasn't wanting to look fake, just more proportionate and more comfortable in my clothes. I chose the moderate profile Style 15 339 cc implants and they look sooo amazing. Dr Edwards and his efficient and friendly staff exceeded my expectations above and beyond! More
My left feels so different from my right! Anyone else experience this? - September 10th: I guess first off I'll tell you my stats: 5'8, 124 lbs, cup size greatly depends on bra but let's just say SMALL. Also, I am a Canadian citizen, living in the Carribean, but my fiance does his business in the USA. I have always wanted to get my breasts done (since I was 13 and realized I would never be voluptuous), but, as a student, I couldn't afford the surgery. I don't mind so much the way I look with a shirt, or even a bra on, but I am uncomfortable with my small breasts when naked, or in certain styles of clothing (like tube tops). I have broad shoulders, and full(ish) hips, and I just feel like my breasts are not proportionate. I just moved with my fiance to the Carribean, where I am always in exposing clothes and bathing suits (dreamy weather.) I finally have the means to get my breasts done, so I am going for it! I looked into going to Brazil, but in the end my fiance decided it would be best to get it done in the USA, and since we are in Vegas on business next week, we figured it only made sense. I know they must do a lot of plastic surgery in Sin City. My consultation is on Monday the 17th, with my surgery hopefully being the next day. It was so difficult to find a doctor online. There are so many options, and I have seen so many breasts in before & after shots that it makes me dizzy! I narrowed it down to two surgeons. My first choice was unavailable for the dates I was in Vegas, so I went with my second choice who still seems like a great surgeon. There are a lot of good reviews and articles about him online. I'm feeling incredibly nervous about the outcome. I don't want to be disappointed, or end up with ugly breasts after all that money spent. I'm worried it won't be what I am expecting, or they will look too fake. I'm also worried about what I'm going to do living on this island and not being able to submerge myself in water for weeks on end! No surfing, no diving... To be honest, my biggest worry is that my implants will take a long time to drop & fluff and I'll be walking around with "frankenboobs" for months. If I was back in Canada I could easily cover them up in the autumn weather, but it's a bit more difficult in the tropics. I have found this site really helpful, and I hope that by posting my experience, and my photos as everything progresses, someone else will be helped as well! More

Active FX Laser Resurfacing - Las Vegas, NV - The Active FX laser gave me great results without all the terrible side effects of the old CO2 laser I had years ago. The price range depends on which areas you have done.Yes, it feels like some rubber bands snapping on your face, but my doctor did a great job of numbing my face and the application is so much faster than the other lasers I've had done. I would definitely recommend it. Does smooth out the skin, tighten pores, and you can do face, neck, chest, eyes, and hands. After the procedure, I have experienced NO discomfort or pain and have not taken any pf the pain medication prescribed for me. I feel great. More
So Happy with my Breast Augmentation - I have wanted a BA since I was 18 b/c I was a small B cup. I wanted to do this for myself and no one else. I waited until I was almost 25 and did research for YEARS to find the perfect doc.I finally had a Breast Augmentation on Feb 25, 2010 in Las Vegas. I can't express enough how happy I have been with this whole experience. Dr. E and his staff were so patient, answered my many questions and really made me feel comfortable. I just knew that this doc was "the one".I went with 450cc silicone allergan natrelle implants under the muscle. I went from a "B" cup to baby "D" cup. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post op but I love them already.It was very painful for 3 days after surgery. Do not believe the women that say they didn't have any pain at all, b/c there definetely is pain for a few days.All in all I think the only reason I am happy with my results is b/c I researched this surgery and doctors for over 2 years. Thank you to my Doc, you are the BEST! More
Works but Hurts - Las Vegas, NV - I had two treatments done a year apart of each other. I got excellent results, a younger, fresher, firmer skin immediately. But I barely had sagging skin to begin with. I think this is what Thermage is best for, someone who is just starting to show aging signs. Any more than just a hint of sag and Thermage isn't powerful enough to change it. It was extremely painful. I took 3 percocets before the procedure, a large amount I've never taken before and they made me sick as a dog for days. The percocets did not help with the pain. More

Still Up in the Air - Las Vegas, NV - I'm not sure about two things! I'm not sure if I want to get silicone or saline? Also I was Recommended to get a Crescent lift but I really don't think I need a lift, I know it's all up to me but I kind want to take the doctors advice on what to get done. I have had two children and want to be bigger than what I was before children. Going from a 34D to a 34B with them. Want to feel sexy again with a D or bigger. Going high profile 500cc Silicone is what I decided on but want to make really sure that the choice I want to make.Updated on 25 Mar 2013:I have decided on an amazing doctor that i feel very comfortable with! im so glad i did not just get excited and go the first one i seen! He put all my worries to rest about all the questions i had. Great staff! I could not be happier at the moment...(surgery date 4/9) then i will be extremely happy!Updated on 27 Apr 2013:It's been two weeks since my BA I am more than happy with the outcome!!!!! Dr. Edwards was amazing!!! His staff are just the sweetest! I would do it all over again! My Breast turned out amazing! I opted out on a lift, My breast were very droopy from breast feeding. He went Partially under the muscle and wow!!! I think they look perfect!!! He did such a great job they are perfect without having to get a lift! I can't believe how small the scars are under my breast! I feel like a woman once again!!! I know they are still healing but I'm sitting at a D just where I wanted to be!!!! I'm am so thankful for finding such an amazing surgeon like Dr. Edwards!!!!Updated on 29 Apr 2013:a suit really does not give them the credit they deserve!Updated on 5 Jun 2013:As a mother of two I can't believe how amazing my boobs look! Just to look back at picture from two months ago I'm still in ah! Best choice I have ever made! I can not thank Dr. Edwards enough!!! I can't believe the healing time. How much my confidence has grown by just getting bigger boobs. I know my husband loved me before, but to see the look in his eyes now! It's brought spark back after babies.

37 Years Old - 5'5 - 96lbs - 32A (Barely) - Very Narrow Base- 3 Kids - Las Vegas, NV - I've been to two consults and had more scheduled, but didn't need to after meeting with Dr.Edwards and his team. I feel he is very experienced and trust him. I have 2 choices High Profile natrelle 260ccs or super high profile natrelle 280ccs. As you know 20ccs doesn't make a difference, but the shape of implant will. Dr. Edwards suggests the hp260ccs. He says it will give me a more natural look and will have the prettiest outcome since I have little tissue. At first, I agreed. But after reading more reviews, I'm wondering if I should go for the super high profiles. It will be fake looking like oranges..lol, but I really want upper pole fullness without a push up bra. I hate bras and padding. That's why I want fake boobies. I can't find many reviews or pictures of people who have super high or ultra high profiles. It would be so helpful if I could talk to someone who has experience with these type of projection implants. I can't decide!!! Help! Thank you all! Updated on 1 Jun 2015: Had my preop..these boobies are paid for!! I can't believe it's going down. Decided to go with the bigger size...cuz boob greed would suck. I smoked my last cigarrete the night before pre-op. I had to just stop cold turkey cuz the whole cutting back thing didn't work. at all..lol. Quit smoking, started the vitamins, got all rx filled.. I had the narcotics prescription filled anyways although I have no plans to take them cuz I have the worst reaction. I'd rather be in Hella pain than puke my brains out!! I opted for the experal. Dr. Puts it in muscles surrounding implants and after 3 days it disolves into body...taking about 50%of pain away!! More
