Reality Star Shares Her Breast Augmentation Revision Story with Viewers

Recently, reality television star Tamra Barney shared her breast augmentation revision story with her "The Real Housewives of Orange County" viewers on Bravotv.

Now 40, Barney had long decided the implants she’d gotten in her 20’s were way too large for her body’s small frame. According to her Bravotv blog her implants, which were wider than her rib cage, made it difficult to find clothing that fit, no longer looked how she wanted, and caused severe neck and back pain.

"After three pregnancies, nursing, and the weight of the implant, the internal pocket was too stretched out to support the implants. Imaging wearing a heavy backpack all day long that was too loose. I constantly used my shoulders and back to compensate, which lead to neck and back pain."

Tamra chose prominent Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Milind Ambe to perform her surgery. She initially wanted the implants removed all together, but in consultation with Dr. Ambe decided a lift combined with smaller implants was a better option. Often the shift from very large implants to no implants creates an undesirable change.

“I’m so thrilled with my outcome, I just wish I would have had it done sooner.” says Tamra.

The Real Orange County Housewife is also thrilled to have shared her experience with others on an episode of the show. According to her blog, "I got so many e-mails from girls all over the world that had the same problem." Her breasts are now smaller, perkier and better proportioned with her body.
