I've never had a large chest. I was a B at my largest. I never considered this a bad thing. I am an athlete and enjoyed not having to battle my boobs as part of my workout. I also thought that as I got older I wouldn't have to worry about sagging breasts. Well, after three kids in 4 1/2 years I discovered I was wrong. I nursed all three (about 4 years over a 6 year stretch) and worked very hard to lose all of my baby weight after the last was born. I lost the weight, got into some of the best physical shape of my life but lost what little curves I had. My boobs had become saggy. Saggy skin. How does that happen? You can work on your body to get your shape back, but how do you get boobs back? I wore bikinis and couldn't fill in the smallest top. Shirts were also a challenge. I didn't fill out the "darts" in shirts made for a woman's breasts. It was difficult. After I turned 38, my youngest was now 6, I decided it was time for me to reclaim my figure. I discussed my decision with my husband and kids. My husband wanted me to know that I didn't need to do it for him. He loved me for who I was and didn't care about the size of my chest. He said I wanted my kids to understand and accept my choice. Amazingly, they were very supportive. They were mostly worried about me looking drastically different. I assured them that wasn't my intention and began my search. I searched online for the best plastic surgeons in the St. Louis area. I live on the Illinois side of the river and wanted convenience as well as excellence. I found both with Dr. Timothy Bradley, a plastic surgeon located in Swansea, IL. Everyone at the facility was very friendly, professional, and supportive. The surgery and recovery were explained thoroughly. I was shown the different types of implants and was told the size my body could accommodate, which was a large C cup. As an athlete and a mother of 3, I didn't want a drastic change. I just wanted my chest. I chose implants that were a large B to a small C. Okay, so I went a little bigger than my God-given chest . I had breast augmentation surgery the middle of March. It was very simple and easy. I did need help to make it through the rest of the day - I was pretty much out of it. After that, the healing process began. I began walking for exercise a few days after the surgery (at a little easier pace) and was back to regular exercise within a month to 6 weeks (which included running, biking, swimming, and tennis). This was important to me because I love being active. The swelling went down in my chest slowly but surely over those couple of months. By summer, I was wearing, and filling out, a bikini top. I now filled out shirts that I already had and could find new clothes because I wasn't battling a non-existent chest. It's been almost 9 months since my breast augmentation surgery, and it's a decision I do not regret and don't think I ever will. My breasts look and feel natural (my husband agrees). My new breasts make me feel like a woman again. I have a figure. Thank you to Dr. Bradley and his excellent staff for giving me back my womanly figure. read more

I chose Dr. Timothy D. Bradley for lower eyelid surgery and unfortunately my experience has been very difficult. While I understand that complications can occur with any surgery, a complication occurred during my procedure and, more than two months later, I am still dealing with ongoing issues. I continue to experience bruising, swelling, tearing, discomfort, and concerns regarding the function of my eyelid. These problems have affected not only my daily life but also my ability to work. What has been most disappointing is feeling that my concerns have not been fully addressed. As a patient, I was looking for guidance, support, and reassurance while dealing with an unexpected recovery. Instead, I was left feeling frustrated and unheard during a very challenging time. I am sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision and ask detailed questions about potential complications, recovery expectations, and post-operative care before undergoing surgery. This review reflects my personal experience and the challenges I have faced throughout my recovery. read more

Dr. Bradley who now works at The Best U Now in Florida got into a verbal argument with my anesthesiologist just minutes before my surgery. This is probably why my results look like I didn't have any work done. I have reached out to the owner Dr. Wilkerson of The Best U Now several times only to be ignored after sending him pictures of my results, that he requested. This place is organized and unprofessional. Do not spend your money here unless you plan on going through full surgery just to have the same results that you had prior to having surgery. After having 360 lipo I still have a huge stomach and there is still a lot fat present. The results of my surgery could not be seen even a month out, you could still see that there is fat still present. Now 6 months out the results have not changed. I am not still swollen and I am sad to have came to terms that these are my results. Please save your money, time and disappointment. All the red flags were there that this place didn't care about the customer just about shuffling people in and out quickly! Now I will have to go through surgery again if I want real results. read more

A year and a half ago I took an interest in working out, getting healthy and losing those extra pounds from carrying children. After reaching a comfortable weight you would think I would have been happy with the way I looked. Unfortunately like a lot of women my breasts had also "lost weight" I no longer wanted to wear that swim suit I had worked so hard to get into. I started researching breast augmentation. I scheduled a consulatiuon with a very well known physician in an upscale area who was reccomended to me. I did not leave that office feeling as good about my decision as I did when I walked in. I did a lot of thinking and more researching. I decided I needed to see another physician and that is when I met with Dr. Bradley. Wow, where to begin. From the moment I called to make the appointment for my consultation I was greeted with such warmth and welcome from MaryAnne. Dr. Bradley was just as welcoming the day I arrived. They made me feel right at home and not like I was just the next appointment. Dr. Bradley was very professional but at the same time very personable. He spent a lot of time with me getting to know what I wanted and how I felt. He made sure I was well informed of every aspect of the surgury. I could tell right away he was honest and took what he did seriously. I left that day knowing this was the right surgeon for me. The day of my surgery I walked in a little nervous and they again made me feel right at ease. They went through everything with me again and took very good care of me. I shouldn't have been surprised the next day when Dr. Bradley called to check on me, but I have never had a doctor care that much. I am now about seven weeks post op and have been in the office for a couple of follow up visits. I am still greeted with the same warmth everytime I walk in. I most definitely would and have reccomended Dr. Bradley to my friends and family. He is a great doctor who is well educated and takes the time to educate his patients and take good care of them at the same time. I am very pleased with my results. He listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Thank you Dr. Bradley & MaryAnne read more

Dr. Timothy Bradley did a wonderful job with a cosmetic surgery procedure I had done several years ago (rhinoplasty). In the following years to date, Dr. Timothy Bradley has not only helped educate me when I have questions about a cosmetic procedure, but he has also demonstrated exceptional skill in placement of injectable fillers for my lines, wrinkles and lips. Dr. Timothy Bradley also has the most genuinely friendly receptionist. From the first phone call I made to the last procedure I received, Dr.Timothy Bradley's cosmetic surgery practice is a 5 star experience! read more

Dr. Bradley performed my breast augmentation in 2001 and to this day I couldn't be happier. He is the best and if I ever have another procedure, he will be the 'only' one I will ever go to. read more

My experience with Dr. Bradley was beyond my expectations. He was extremely professional and informative. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. read more

one of my implants began to leak, I had had them for 10 yrs. My father was in ICU and it couldnt have happened at a worse time. When dad came home I decided to go to a doctor close to home as possible. He turned out to be a terrible surgeon....Since then, I found Dr Timothy Bradley and my prayers were answered.Dr Bradley re did the complete surgery and I couldnt be happier. I had scar tissue before causing the implant to appear flat underneath. I also had long deep scars, that werent even in the crease but high up on the breast itself. Dr Bradley worked on them as well and has me on scar therapy. They are looking great! MaryAnn treated me like family from day 1. The staff was excellent, and I experienced little to no pain after surgery, or the days following. What impressed me the most about Dr. Bradley was that he showed as much concern about my problem and what I hoped to achieve after I paid him as he did before. Unlike the last dr. I had went to. If you are thinking of surgery or a beauty procedure I suggest you talk to Dr Bradley in Swansea Il. read more
