Thank you
"I just had augmentation surgery done by Dr. Tebbetts on June 27, and I had an amazing recovery. I had surgery that morning, came home and had a two hour nap, got up showered, dried my hair and was out shopping. The next day, I went for a 2 mile walk and felt great. In addition, I did not have any narcotics. Dr. Tebbetts prescribed only ibuprofen, so I never had that out of it feeling. My best friend who lives in another state had the same surgery with another doctor and she was in bed and drugged up for a couple of days and when she heard about my experience she was shocked and upset that she had gone through what she had. I think the women who are saying there is no way you can have this type of recovery are those that have not used Dr. Tebbetts. Also I thought maybe that my experience was different than the other women who had surgery with me that day, but we all had our follow ups the next day and every single one of them (there were 5 of us) had the same success. One went to see Sex in the City, and another bathed her 14 month old daughter and put her to bed. The 24 hour recovery is real.

Believe it!
"Ladies - it is true... BELIEVE IT! 24 hours can be done. I am living proof. I had the procedure done this year - I look and feel great. Dr. Tebbetts has perfected a procedure that produces exactly the experience I was looking for – no bruising, bandages or drains – a 24 Hour Recovery.

It has supportive research/papers which presented the evidence that there procedure was successful and produced these precise results, a 24 hour recovery.

I flew from Wisconsin to Texas for it."

Amazing
"Just a note to tell you that your book is “amazing” , I have learned so much from it.. It is so easy to read , as it is so “well written”.... Any woman can understand by the way you have written and laid this book out and get so many issues, questions and concerns about a BA.

I wish I had had your fist book ...before I had that horrid surgery in 2005.... Boy, would I have had the questions! LOL The PS would have either gotten mad or thought” I can not get by this one with my medical jargon” ( as some do as you know) LOL .... any way just to Thank you again, so very much for sending it to me and to let you know what a fantastic book it is.... ALL women should have that book. In my honest opinion. -Patty"

Wow
"WOW!!!!!!!! Thank you for the book!! I was completely blown away with all the information in the book. I knew there is a lot that goes into the surgery but I never imagined there was that much. It really boosts my confidence in you and Dr. Tebbetts because you say it all there is nothing that is left out. Some women may reconsider having surgery after reading the book which could cause you to loose a patient and of course money. It is very obvious to me that the most important thing to you is that the patient completely understands what they are getting into because #1 it is surgery any surgery can be very unpredictable and #2 this is something they will have to live with. This book answered so many questions for me and really helped me fully understand everything that goes into pre-surgery, surgery and post-surgery. -MR"

"I am one of those gals that falls into the category of When Nature Misses a Beat, for those of you who have read "The Best Breast" book by Dr. John and Terrye Tebbetts. I never fully developed. It was as if my breasts started puberty and then stopped. So ever since I was a teenager, breast augmentation was always something I thought I may one day have.

When I was in my late 20s, I went to a plastic surgeon upon the recommendation of an aerobics instructor who obviously had implants. The doctor's staff was very unprofessional, commenting on how small my breasts were. The doctor wasn't much better, offering implants to stuff into my bra to determine what size I would like to be. Needless to say, I wasn't sold on that surgeon. So I took to the internet to do some research and stumbled upon the book "The Best Breast."

After reading that book in 2000, I decided that I would postpone having surgery. The book was very detailed, and I learned a great deal about the options available to me. However, for several reasons, I decided that I should probably wait. Fast forward nearly ten years. The desire for breasts to balance out my figure never went away, so I went back to the internet to see if there was an updated version of the book. Sure enough, there was a second edition. The book contained even more information than the first edition. But best of all, the options and the procedure had improved significantly since the publication of the first book. I read the book cover to cover and then went about trying to find a surgeon, armed with the interview tools from the book.

It didn't take me long to realize that the 24 hour recovery and implant options I desired were not available in my area, so I called Dr. Tebbetts office. I already felt as if I knew him from his book and website. His staff was incredibly professional and polite. I scheduled my telephone interview with his co-author, patient educator and spouse, Terrye, for a couple weeks later. I already felt quite educated from reading the book, but I did have a rather long list of questions that Terrye answered completely during my consultation. I actually used her suggestions from the book as the basis for many of the questions I asked her. Feeling quite empowered and excited with Dr. Tebbetts as my choice for surgeon, I scheduled my in-person consultation and surgery for November 5 and 6, 2009. For those of you who want to know more about traveling from out of town for the 24 hour recovery procedure, you can find details on thebestbreast.com.

Most of my pre-op preparation (filling out paperwork, getting a mammogram and having blood work done) was done in my hometown. The day before my surgery, my husband and I drove to Dallas. I met with Dr. Tebbetts. I was incredibly pleased with him. He was welcoming and professional. I had the utmost confidence in his ability as a surgeon and his recommendation for my implant size. I had already decided what implant I would like, but I let the doctor decide (based upon his Hi-Five measuring system) what my body would allow. This is VERY important, ladies. Do your homework beforehand, but also respect what you bring to the surgery. You have to know your body and respect what your tissues will allow for implant size. As someone who could barely fill an A cup and didn't have a lot of stretch, how could I or why would I expect to have huge implants? Be realistic in your choices and your expectations.

My husband and I enjoyed our evening in Dallas, and I went in for surgery on Friday morning. It went very well. After surgery, I went back to my hotel and rested and followed my post-op instructions to a T (also VERY important). I was up and eating and taking my first 800 mg Motrin (no narcotics - yay!) within 3 hours of surgery. I did my arm stretches every half hour, showered, got dressed, put on makeup and walked to dinner and back. I continued to do my exercises and take my medication as instructed for the remainder of the evening.

I had my follow-up visit with the nurse on Saturday morning. I felt great. The 4 hour drive back home caused me to get a little uncomfortable and tight, but we stopped every hour for me to stretch and do my exercises. When I got home, I did laundry and my normal household routine. On Sunday, I drove to the grocery store and did other errands. 24 hour recovery is real. I was never "out of commission." The only limitation is that I was not allowed to get my heart rate elevated (cardio) for 2 weeks and no lifting over 35 lbs for 3 weeks. However, daily walking (slow pace) and stretching exercises helped tremendously to keep me limber.

It has been almost 3 weeks since my surgery, and I love my breasts. They don't quite feel like mine yet. The tightness, numbness and sensitivity (all quite tolerable, by the way) get better daily. I have emailed Terrye with questions (with a prompt response), called and asked questions (also a quick response) and relied on my book as a post-operative reference. I also exchanged email addresses with another patient who had surgery the same day as me, so we keep in touch. It's nice to share and compare our experiences.

I am so pleased with the process, the surgery, the doctor and his staff and with my results. I definitely recommend "The Best Breast 2" for anyone considering breast augmentation. And I highly recommend Dr. Tebbetts as well.
