The perils of trying to achieve a higher standard of beauty.

Or

ALLANAH STARR JUST WANTS BIGGER BOOBS..


As many of you know I have a few nip and tucks here and there. Well, A LOT of nip and tucks everywhere. To date my actual surgery count is 47 operations. And I do not mean botox, peels, or such procedures. I am talking about a scalpel, anesthesia, and surgery. I have always had a fascination with large breasts. I once read somewhere that women born under the astrological sign of cancer, are very connected with their breasts. I happen to be a Cancer and so is one of the most famous women in the world who is particularly known for her breasts, Pamela Anderson. I am not sure if my 'breast fetish' has to do with astrology or just my visual point of view. You see my fetish is non sexual- I am simply attracted to larger breasts from an aesthetic point of view. Even when I was a tranny in training, I dreamed of having big knockers. If it were up to me, every woman in the would be carrying at least a D cup but I am no big boob dictator, just a big boob admirer.

To date, I have had five sets of breast implants. The most recent almost three weeks ago. The first set I had were 525 CCs, then 750 CCs, then 1200 CCs, then 800 CCS, and now I opted for 1300 CCs. I had two very bad breast surgeries and then two very good ones. You ask, why did I go large then reduce? The reason was texture. My 1200 CC implants only came in a textured shell at the time and they were very hard so I wanted a very soft feel and opted to go for a gel implant and 800CC is the largest manufactured in the US. I was quite happy for a while with the 800 cc. They were very soft, and 'real feeling', and everyone seemed to love them. I was happy but not complete happy. I always wanted to be a little larger, and wanted more lateral fullness, and found out that the previous 1200 CC implants I had before now came in a soft shell. SO I decided that when I returned from Europe I would have them changed and filled to the max.

The reason I am telling you this story is so you realize what we, those who want to always look better, improve our appearance, or transsexuals sometimes have to go through. The actual surgery went very well. I got to keep the old implants which I now have in a bag and plan to bronze. Initially, I was in a lot of pain. I suspect because the doctor had to cut so far our into the rib cage to achieve the wider look I wanted was the reason I was in so much discomfort. My prior four breast operations in all honesty were virtually painless. This was different-way different. I had trouble getting up, walking around, and was in heavy pain. However, the breast did look huge and I was pleased. Another side effect I was having was low grade fevers, which are very common after surgery; so I was not too worried. I also had drains with these implants, which I had never had before, and they were unpleasant. I went to go see the doc after a week and everything looked fine. I complained about the low grade fevers and he said it was probably as a result of fluid around the implant and would go away as there was no visible sign of infection (no swelling, redness, oozing, etc.). I walked home that afternoon and got another low grade fever, followed by a cold sweat on my way home; I figured it would go away.

Things took a much turn for the worse the next morning when I woke up and one of the implants looked smaller than the other one. Worse, the low grade fevers were still there and seemed higher (they were there for six more days). I called the doc and he told me to stay on the antibiotic and come in next week as there was nothing he could do if I was on antibiotic treatment and had to wait for the response of treatment. So I sat for four days going through hell. Not only did I suspect one of my implants was deflating, but I was afraid I had a severe infection-which if it was severe enough, my breasts might have to be removed and I would have to wait months before the implants could be put back in. And when your breasts are essential to your career, you begin to seriously panic. I was a physical and emotional mess for the most part. Infection is a complication of any surgery, so that is one thing you have to be prepared for. But everything seemed to be going wrong at once. I had no energy, I was crying al the time, and I felt sick, I had a fever, and one boob was smaller. In retrospect, If it had not been for my boyfriend and his endless support and doses of laughter and turning me on to LOST, I think I would have gone mad.

When I saw the doctor the following week, there was some good news and bad news. Good news was I was clear of an infection. My fevers were low, but not over 102, and I had no discoloration, or redness, or oozing. Thankfully they did not need to come out. Bad news is one of the implants had deflated some and needs to be replaced. So now I need another surgery. I am not sure why the implant deflated some-maybe a faulty valve-defective implant-who knows but it happened but it was honestly unexpected. I figured this surgery would be routine-but it has proved otherwise. I do feel much better now and even if I need another surgery and 14 days on antibiotics produced a yeast infection in my mouth (a common side effect of prolonged antibiotic use) which has cleared up, I do not feel as defeated as I did before. The actual size difference between implants is slight- and hardly noticeable unless I point it out, nonetheless- it needs to be corrected.

I am not sure there is moral to this story. I just wanted to share it with all of you because a lot of times people just see the outcome of the surgery and forget the risk and pain we sometimes go through to look better. I have always believed that my best investment has been my body and have never looked back.

This all happened to me at a bad time, as I was quitting Opaline and some friendships I thought were solid, turned to prove otherwise. I also had made some bad personal decisions that came back to bite me in the ass. My Mom and my boyfriend were my rocks through all of this. I am deeply thankful to have both of them in my life.

Luckily, my life has returned to some normalcy since the surgery, I have started working again, going to the gym, hanging out with friends and am active . Still, I am waiting for my next surgery date to hopefully complete this ordeal once and for all. This happened to me going to an excellent surgeon and it definitely has not deterred me from surgery nor do I wish to deter anyone from having surgery if they choose. I will continue to fix things about my body I do not like. This was just a bump on the road of life. Sometimes you just have to follow the advice of Margo Channing in 'All About Eve' and "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night".

[Quinn]

To be honest, I don’t understand the whole surgery thing – which is probably why I find it interesting and frequently ask questions when people bring it up. Frankly, given my dislike and distrust of doctors, the whole thing sounds a bit frightening. Still, it sounds like you are keeping things in perspective and will be fine. That said, I wish you the best of luck with the whole thing.

-Quinn

[Bigguy]

If it were up to me, every woman in the would be carrying at least a D cupI think the same way there as you do. :claps


The first set I had were 525 CCs, then 750 CCs, then 1200 CCs, then 800 CCS, and now I opted for 1300 CCs.
Do you have pictures of all those different sizes? I've seen plenty of the 800 and I remember some pictures of the 750 and 1200 ones.


Bad news is one of the implants had deflated some and needs to be replaced. So now I need another surgery.
Too bad that happened after all that pain you went through with these and now you have to do it again with another surgery. Did they come with any kind of warranty or do you get a good discount on the corrective surgery for it?

I hope it all works out in the end and you have some really nice super boobs that are just as soft as the old ones. :love1

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Hey BG

I'll post a history in picures of my breast sizes later today lol.

Implants are gauranteed for life- if they deflate or are defective. You actually get a warantee card. There are cerstain circumstances they will not cover like larger replacements or capsolar contraction. Usually, u just have to pay for anesthesia as well and not a surgeon fee, if you h ave a good surgeon.

[Ecstatic]

Allanah, sorry to hear of your travails. Best of luck with the followup surgery.

[NickTheQuick]

Allanah, sorry to hear of your travails. Best of luck with the followup surgery.

Ditto. Stay positive.

[Harrys Boy]

The first set I had were 525 CCs, then 750 CCs, then 1200 CCs, then 800 CCS, and now I opted for 1300 CCs.
Sounds almost like weaponary!

Seriously though I hope your back to your best really soon, the message board is always better for your presence.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

The following is a pictorial history of my breast-

Here I am with my first set of implants @ 525 CCs. Notice how high up thhey are because they were freshly done. I do not have any topless pics of this period as this was prior to my adult career.

The doctor who did these implants did an awful job. The nipple place ment was way at the bottom, and they sagged horriby after they settled.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

This is me @ 725 CCs- I made the mistake of going back to the same doctor in hopes that he would fis my nipple placement and breasts. Unfortunately, he made one go in one the direction and the other in another. As well-he had left awful scars.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Next I decided I needed an expert in breasts so I went to Brad Jacobs in NYC. I needed a lot of revision work- a breast lift, a nipple reduction and scar reduction and I wanted to go much bigger so I opted for the becker implant which is the largest produced in the USA, filled to 1200 CC. This implant is 25 % silicone and 75% saline- it is called a double lumen. At the time it only came in a textured shell, hence why they were so firm.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Of course these are the breasts that mostly everyone has seen me with- and that I have had the longest in my career- the 800cc gels. I figured the Beckers were too hard so I opted for the silicone gel- even though I had to compromise on size. I was really happy with the texture and they looked 'natural' but I still had issues with uneven nipple placement.

[juvemerda]

fai schifo

[AllanahStarrNYC]

The new ones, I do not have a picture I can show u yet, Thet are the Becker model- except in a soft shell.

I have spent in total $29,000 on my breasts in the past 9 years in order to achieve the look I wanted. And I still have not- ain't that a bitch?

[sub337]

First off I just want to say you are and have always been gorgeous, Allanah. Personally I love the 800cc's, but look forward to seeing your new breasts. Do you have any pics of what would be, in your opinion, the perfect breasts?

Lastly, I live in Australia and there has been mention on some of the Shemale boards down here that you might be coming down to visit. Just wondering if this is still a possibility.

All the best!

[TsJennifer]

Hi Allanah,
Wow your posting was very informative! I enjoyed reading it and seeing how you have gotten better and better over time! You look great and keep up the good work!

Jennifer Paris

[Moister]

Here's to your speedy recovery! Get well soon! And thank you for sharing your experience, I'm certain that many will find it extremely useful!

[stillies77]

allanah, breasts or no breasts...you will always be my one and only top fantasy ever.

[Dkg]

ok what's the deal with deleting my post? I know you are a mod Allanah and so you have that "power". so what's up with that?

If all you want is 100% positivity and nothing else then please note that before you start deleting people's posts.

[flabbybody]

you know there's no way people can tell that one is a tiny bit bigger than the other. Me and BG were looking pretty close and they looked perfect and spectacular. but you're the one that needs to be totally satisfied, so good luck with the next adjustment.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

First of all- thanks to everyone's well wishes, compliments, and support.

Thanks Jen- I try ;) & you look fab as usual!

Flabby, you are always so supportive- i am most humbled by your kindness.

SUb- I have been toying with the idea of coming to tour in Australia and have gotten a lot of information thus far about advertising and might do so this year. Would you be so kind as to let me know of the boards you speak of?

DKG- I deleted your post because I will not stand for your amateur psychoanalysis of me. If you want to play 'therapist' then I suggest you do so with someone else or go get a degree. I already see a proffesional therapist twice a month and I have never been diagnosed with any disorder nor depression nor am I on any drugs to treat any psychosis.

The idea to improve to strive to be better, has nothing to do with being unhappy in general. Yes, if I am unhappy with a feature I will change it. So what? I strive to be better always. It's no different than going to the gym, or trying to loose weight. Body modification is body modification- wether it be a body builder, someone covered in tattoos, or a transsexual. We all chose different ways to change our bodies.

I lead a productive life- I do normal things as well as 'Allanah Starr' things
and my not being satisfied with a certain detail of my body does not prevent me from living my life on a daily basis.

In this thread I was sharing a struggle that I just went through recently that was very hard. I simply did so because as I said before, so many fans or admirers forget what we have to go through to sometimes look the way we do. "We" meaning us transsexuals.

I am not asking for your symphathy or anyone elses- but perhaps you should learn some empathy and not be so quick to judge or scrutinize. And yes- I demand positivity, because having a positive attitude helped me a lot through this ordeal.

[DamionXXX]

Я Люблю Вас Ulyana, я Люблю только Вас ... теперь и для остальной части моей жизни.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

LOL

Thanks for having Holly call- that was very sweet on both your parts.

And yeah- 'baby Allanah' in that pic- I do look rather colorful ;)

Thanks for the well wishes! Glad to hear you two are doing well.

[hondarobot]

Yikes, sounds like a pretty hard time! Good to see everything is working out and you're feeling better. Can't wait to see the new boobs, as I'm sure everyone is.

Keep fighting the good fight, babe.

:)

[Bigguy]

I have spent in total $29,000 on my breasts in the past 9 years in order to achieve the look I wanted. And I still have not- ain't that a bitch?
Do you think you will have the look you want once you get that replacement put in?

I would have gotten a picture last week of her with her new boobs (dressed) but my camera broke, sorry everybody.

[Marilyn]

Your breast looked great before, but I totally understand when you say it's not what you really wanted! Whatever makes you feel good and happy that's what you should aim for.....now the question Ive been asking to the girls here, Is your Dr good in facial feminization surgery, especially chin area>?.....Thanks in advance ...keep up the good looks giiiiirllll!

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Hi Marylin- I had my jaw/chin work by Dr. Ousterhout initially- which I was very unhappy with. He did a nice job with the chin except for the lumps on both sides and the great uneveness he created on my jaw. In my opinion, he did a terrible job with my jaw. Dr. Lesesne has since fixed quite a bit of it, and I still need another revision. I would say that yes Dr. Lesesne is good for filing down bones. He did my forehead and got rid about 90 percent of a huge lump I had on the right side of my jaw from Dr. O's surgery. I have never regreted any surgery I have ever done except my jaw with Dr. O- I wish I would have just done my chin with him and that's it. Dr. O did however do a very nice job in lifting my upper lift. I would consider him to forheads, as I believe he is the best in that area. But my experince with my jaw was less than satisfactory, however other girls have been happy with his jaw work. I had ALSO had multiple side effects from the jaw reduction such as loose skin, loss of tone in the neck and neck muscle. There is a lot to consider in that area if you are thinking about it.

[Mylon]

I'm curious about the breast surgeries and their side effects. What kind of sensation impact have the surgeries left? I mean, is there any sensation in the nipples still?

I'm rather effiminate myself and I've considered becoming a transexual, but there's far too many questions and both surgery and hormones seem too scary to pursue.

[mycaulk]

That's terrible. We haven't hung out since January 05 (except those few times I saw you on the way to the gym which we emailed about) and I don't know which breasts you had then but you looked wonderful and the first thing I could tell when talking to you is that you were more than a hot body, you were intelligent too

[RangeHova]

I think a lot of peoplr would never 'get' why someone would go to such extremes andI'm not 100% sure that even I fully 'get it'. But I do knnow that that attention to detail is something that I admire. It is one of the reasons why I find myself attracted to the type of trans women that I am attracted to.

I don't know,but it's something about a woman that has taken herself from male to an attractive woman. There is a power and a strength that comes with that.

I do think that some girls get addicted to altering themselves but at the risk of sounding like a brown noser, I don't see that with Allanah. She seems to really have a very clear idea of what she wants in her physical appearance. It is apparent that she has done plenty of homework on what she needs to get to where she wants to go, and isn't doing stupid, risky, or dangerous shit to get there.

It's too easy for us to sit and look at what we see as beautiful and to think that she doesn't need all the work. I'm sure that before Allanah became Allanh (or somewhere along that road) she developed clear ideas of what she wanted to become. Who are we to tell her to stop trying to get to where she wants to go just because she looks good to us?

If she wasn't attractive and looked less feminine no one would have a thing to say about how much work she has had or wants to have.

[Trogdor]

Dunno if you can help me or not, Allanah, since I am a dude, but any advice on lipo around the abs and waist? :?:

[sub337]

Allanah, I heard about your possible visit to Australia here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/transexuallust

Another Yahoo Group that may be of some use to you if you come to Australia is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/adelaidetranssexualescorts

[NYTSJulie]

Allanah,

I disagree I think you look much better since your work from Dr. Ousterhout and I think if you just did the chin it would not look as good. I have seen pictures of you before and your jaw looked more "trannyish". I think your face looks a lot more fem now, and the jaw/chin surgery looks like the most changed feature on your face. I can understand that sometimes surgery does not come out 100% perfect and revisions have to be done, been there myself.

I was going to go to Ousterhout for my chin/jaw but changed my mind and went with Dr. Zukowski in Chicago. My chin looks better but I feel it could still be smaller. I also have some loose skin that you talked about as well. I am planning on going to Ousterhout in the fall to have my chin redone. I try to have low expectations and know that the bones will be smaller but I will probably have to have a few other nips and tucks to get it the way I want.

Julie

[Proper]

And yeah- 'baby Allanah' in that pic- I do look rather colorful ;)


Well...i remember this pic along with one of you in a swimming suit and a pic of you redheaded with a BettyPage-look.
Damn, i saw those ...dunno... ten years ago or more right? LoL! that reminds me how long i'm into Tranny's.. and i'm just 29 ;)
I just wanted to say that those pics, back in the day, were rockin me as well like your pics today :D
It's breathtaking to see all the results during the years.
Yeah baby, you look damn hot! (your lucky boyfriend....grrrrr :D)

Okay back to topic... a question:
For me as a German i cant imagine what sizes are how big. Could you give an example of how big you want your boobies
by an famous boobstar? like Pandora Peaks or somethin'?

Wish you all the best,
Prop

[Marilyn]

Oh my God! I totally understand what you are saying, because similar thing happened to me, the reduction (reshaping) of the chin left me with horrible loose skin (eventhough to others it seems is not that noticeable but to me is horrifying!!) and on top of that the chin implant I got makes the chin looks square and my natural chin was never square, it was like an oval shape I just wanted it more "pointy" you know like more of a female, but now Im dealing with a squareish chin, loose skin, and a keloid scar of less than 1/4 of an inch (again to others might not be noticeable nor of great concern but to me is horrible and depressive!) and not a comfortable feeling! So I would like to have the chin implant removed, get rid of the extra skin, and just make it look more roundish, pointy if you know what I mean! It is depressing me!! And yeah I heard about Dr O. and seen some of his forhead work, he is good at foreheads! Anyway, thank for all the info Im gathering all the information I can from diffrent girls about this Drs cuz I dont want to end up making a wrong decision again about who to go to for surgery!! Thanks again, and by the way, your whole face is very feminine I like what you've done, beautiful!

[Proper]

Hey Marilyn,

like you noticed by yourself...theres absolutely nothing wrong for others.
Alright, i can only judge by those two pics. But i tell you what: I prefer the upper picture... (of course not because of your dress ;) )
I can't see anything thats not adorable.

Where is it "square"?

Girls......pffffffffffffffff! ;)

[Dkg]

Well I happen to minor in Psychology right now so Iwould like to think I know something about the human psyche. I wasn't trying to offend or give advice or tell you how to live your life or anything of that sort, I was only looking at what underlying issues could be there other than striving to be perfect or look the way you want.

And honestly, there is nothing wrong with that or being unhappy or unsatisfied about yourself and wanting to change how you look. For example, I, and millions of other Americans, work out to build stronger muscles and get in shape b/c of being "unhappy/unsatisfied" with our current build.

Is there anthing wrong with that? No. It's just that when you involve lots of surgery things could get potentially dangerous and so I've heard addictive.

Anyways, I just thought I'd clear that up. I'd figure with all the crap you have to put here with Vicki you wouldn't mind one little slightly judgemental comment

[ron30bi]

Hey Allanah, I'm sorry to hear that your surgery didn't go quite as planned. ughers. Tough situation I'm sure. I did want tell you that I'm a Taurus and Cancer and Taurus are supposed to mesh quite nicely! :D

Anyways, here's to a speedy recovery!

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Whew a few people to respond to!

Julie- thanks for the compliment. While Dr O did take a lot of bone out he did not do anything I asked him to do. He left me more uneven than my jaw was. After my surgery I looked ridiculous- he completely shaved off one part of my jaw and left the pother side bigger. Plus I had lumps on three parts. After his surgery I needed a face and neck lift and had to have my neck muscle titghtened. It was and still is an ordeal three years later. I've also had a jaw implant ont he side he totally made tiny an dhad one of the lumps sanded down.

Proper- that pic , the first one is about 9 years old. But that red batthing suit 'Bettie Page' pics u are reffering to, are like four years old. Thank though- glad u enjoyed.

Marylin- I know what u are gowing through. I always hated my chin and wanted a smaller one, so the docotr who operated on me in Florida suggested a chin implant- which was rediculous because I did not have a receeding chin and only made my chin look bigger. Dr. O later removed that. You might need a neck lift if u feel the skin is loose. I would just look into several options, research, because it sounds like u need help with the loose skin, the chim implant, and a scar revision. Good luck with everything.

Dkg-........

Ron- thanks for the well wishes. I have never dated a Taurus but I currently involved with a Virgo and that is supposed to be a very good match as well ;).

[OutlawKind]

Thank you Allanah. I sincerely appreciate your candid info sharing as well as your offers of insight and guidance. And though I won't be traveling those roads myself, I know several GGs & a few TGs who have and do, so it's nice to have some knowledge of the territory. You're pretty special--glad you're part of the Hung Angels' millieu.

[demmie]

Yes!

Demmie gets his wish (almost), an Allanah Starr TIMELINE!

[NRT]

This thread made interesting reading and caused my blood to chill and cringe. Just a couple of questions.

I know allanah is an exception with all the ops she's had, but surgery is expensive. Is that one reason why a lot of T girls are escorts/porn stars?

Secondly. much has been said about Patricia Alaujo's badly botched boobs. Is to possible to re do them? Brazil is a leading place for plastic surgery. Allanah said she's had some bad bood jobs and had had them corrected.

[lionsroar]

I would still give you a ten. You are that hot.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Aww thanks ; ).

Still going to redo the boobs- but am ok physically.

[yodajazz]

Ah, the quest to get perfect looks, like me! Just kidding. I am one of those who thinks that Allanah is perfect. You just need more business ventures to make more and more money. (I have some ideas.)

I doubt that I would have the chance to stand 12 inches away from your breasts for 5 minutes to tell that their not perfect. And if I did, I would be too excited to concentrate on just your breasts, because it would be the whole scene of getting into the situation with the star (Starr). As it is, the sight of breasts causes men to lose rational focus anyway. I am saying that the scene is more important.

I remember dropping off a t-girl friend from a club and going to her room, long ago. I was only there to talk about doing some music together. As I went to the bathroom she was changing clothes. As I stepped back into the room, she let a nightgown drop over her naked body, giving me a half second of rearview nudity. I always wondered if she did it on purpose or was it perfect timing. We did not have sex, because I was not there to do that, I was being good (somewhat). But that second left a lasting impression on me, it was over ten years ago. The whole scene was more important, involving ‘accidental nudity’, than some perfect body parts.

Often we can see the faults of other people easier than critiquing ourselves. I just found the story of Lolo Ferrari, a French woman, who had numerous surgeries but never found happiness. She was said to have the world’s biggest breasts. http://implants.clic.net/tony/Corner/H/0381.html
Such stories are always fascinating. It is the age old question of what can we do to find happiness? Today I find a moment of happiness knowing that a ‘perfect star’ might find something in my words. But these words are for everyone on the quest to physical perfection through surgical means.

[trapmasta]

good luck boo

[a994]

Allanah, I hope your upcoming surgery goes well for you.

And may I offer you a retroactive hug (and just a hug) for what you went through with your previous operations?

[calitexas]

Aaw, Big Sis?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN PEOPLE JUST WRITE THREE DOTS???

i would guess ,bumping the thread

[MrsKellyPierce]

Allanah you look fantastic everyway :)

[bob85]

KellyShore looks fantasic

[tstv_lover]

Allanah, how have you found the latest implants? Are you happy with them?
Any more nips and tucks planned?

You always look awesome!

[MrsKellyPierce]

Allanah question, do you think I should of gone bigger than I wanted for a year or so then gone back under to the size I actually wanted, to stretch the skin better etc?

[SXFX]

lmao, for me it's just that periodically I go back and edit old posts of mine so that there is nothing there. I just leave three dots in its place because I have to leave something. Sorry for any confusion.
Ha! I had the same question.
Well regarding the word done.......(see I can do it to! :D )...these doctors are true artists.
All of you girls have seem to have had great success with your work.

[JANIRA]

Get better sweety and always keep a positive outlook. Like you mentioned you have your Boyfriend & your mom,, let that be your strength .

I don't know much about facial surgeries... where are the scars / incisions when you get forehead surgery? Is it in the hairline somewhere? Did you lose sensation? I'd like to have some work done on my forehead someday, but I really don't know anything about it.

Also, when you've had multiple surgeries on your breasts, do they keep making the incision in the same spot? or... I mean, doesn't that create a lot of scar tissue? Or do they cut the scar tissue out somehow each time?

I have several scars from when I had an orchiectomy and I am scared that one day I will just be completely covered with scars and never be able to get rid of them. :(

[bat1]

We all like to have bodies that we can love
but now at 47 I'm realizing it's what's inside that
counts..it's being with people that you love that matters
most ..seems like no matter how good we look now it's
never good enough..then age sets in now what? the weight
gain the saggy skin you can't fight nature..so just be happy
with what you have and move on to bigger and better things
there's more to life then just bodies...

Dr. Lesesne has since fixed quite a bit of it, and I still need another revision. I would say that yes Dr. Lesesne is good for filing down bones. He did my forehead and got rid about 90 percent of a huge lump I had on the right side of my jaw from Dr. O's surgery. I have never regreted any surgery I have ever done except my jaw with Dr. O- I wish I would have just done my chin with him and that's it. Dr. O did however do a very nice job in lifting my upper lift. I would consider him to forheads, as I believe he is the best in that area. But my experince with my jaw was less than satisfactory, however other girls have been happy with his jaw work. I had ALSO had multiple side effects from the jaw reduction such as loose skin, loss of tone in the neck and neck muscle. There is a lot to consider in that area if you are thinking about it.

I don't know much about facial surgeries... where are the scars / incisions when you get forehead surgery? Is it in the hairline somewhere? Did you lose sensation? I'd like to have some work done on my forehead someday, but I really don't know anything about it.

Also, when you've had multiple surgeries on your breasts, do they keep making the incision in the same spot? or... I mean, doesn't that create a lot of scar tissue? Or do they cut the scar tissue out somehow each time?

I have several scars from when I had an orchiectomy and I am scared that one day I will just be completely covered with scars and never be able to get rid of them. :( yes it's put in the hairline, and no I didn't lose sensation maybe at the top of my head for a few months, but it's back now. It's cause they cut the nerve endings and sew them back together. My scar is not even noticeable I have baby hair that grew back over it.

Allanah, how have you found the latest implants? Are you happy with them?
Any more nips and tucks planned?

You always look awesome!

HI!

Wow this thread is old!

I redid my implants with Brad Jacobs who lost his liscense in NYC last year.

I must say-he did wonders for me.

My corrective surgery was five hours long and cost almost 15K.

He told me that it was the WORST capsulation he had ever seen and it was a very difficult surgery.

I had to have the implants removed, the double capsules removed, and a benelli breast lift. Making it my sixth pair of implants and my second breast lift.

I do have to have a bit of more of corrective work on the nipples and need to fix some scarring and such. But for the issues I had, he nearly resolved them all.

I am now 960ccs (saline) and they are soft, and have the best placement I have ever had with implants.

So I am nearly satisfied.

I really do not plan to change these, unless I have to, and will only work on minor surgery to correct what is left to correct.

I did do a YOUTUBE video abou my post op experience last year and you can watch that here:

Allanah question, do you think I should of gone bigger than I wanted for a year or so then gone back under to the size I actually wanted, to stretch the skin better etc?

Yes- it's always better to do that. It's best to gradually go up. Usually everyone who has implants has a revision or a second surgery to go larger so it's common.

That depends on the doctor and your results.
I lost sensation for a while but it came back.

As far as the scar it is minimal.

Old threads like old shoes never seem to go away... :-)

For Kelly - not that I have Allanah's experience... LOL but since we have the same doc, I think your boobs look great in your pics. They have a nice definition without a a fakey look. I definately wouldn't have gone smaller, and I think if you went bigger you might have had stretch marks and the "basketball look." Mine are dropping in nicely, and now I wish I'd insisted on going one size larger as I'm ending up a C rather than a D.

As for Claries question and comment. I understand it can go either way, usually they will go through or right next to the original incision. Not sure if they cut the old tissue out. I don't intend to find out. If God had wanted me to get bigger implants he would have given them to me the first time... :-)

Clarie why do you have multiple orchi scars? I only have one incision mark from my orchi and I think that's going to go away, though there's a bit of an indention at the site where he pulled the skin together. It's only been 2 months yesterday though. Jessica's you can't even see anymore. My implant scars are still red, but I'm using Mederma daily and I think they will eventually be nearly invisible.

Hugs,
TS Jamie :-)

Thanks for the update Allanah. I've just added to the list of viewers!

It clearly takes a lot of time, $$ and recovering from disappointment to end up looking sensational. Great that you're now feeling good about about the latest implants. You do look amazing and I hope you find much happiness.
