Hi Everyone! I'm so pleased to share my story as I have really enjoyed reading everyone else's when I was still researching myself! I hope this helps!
This is my start to finish from 38A-B's to 38D's with 500cc saline-filled, sub-muscular
Mentor breast implants.
I have always felt unbalanced. I had size 38A-B's with a fuller midriff and "Jlo-like" buttocks. I dreamed of the day when I could justify the money to get a
breast augmentation and truly feel confident about myself. So many times I had to put that pretty low-cut dress back because I had an empty breast-bone space where a little sexy cleavage should have been. I dreaded the summer-time because my padded bra's made my boobs terribly uncomfortable with sweat. Swim-suits were embarrassing. Plus, one breast was quite smaller than the other and the cup of my bra would work it's way to the middle of my chest instead of staying in place. It was quite awkward adjusting that throughout the day, i might add.
Well, one day, I had a visit with my aunt, who 5 years ago had a breast lift and augmentation done by
Dr. Ken Dembny with Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Specialists in Wauwatosa, WI. I was curious about how the surgery went for her, and how happy she was with the results. She explained how it all went great and her only two regrets were not going just a little bit bigger and not getting it done years ago. I explained that I would probably be waiting quite a while before I would be able to do justify it for myself. I thought I would wait until after I was married, had a house, and was done having babies. Then maybe I could think of myself.
My aunt then asked me a question that sparked a wildfire in my mind: "Why not now?".
She went on and explained that there will never be a better time than now. There will always be something else to come first, some other focus for your attention and your money, always just one more hurtle before you can take care of yourself. Besides, I have friends that spent at a lot of money on their "dream car" or "home-entertainment center". I just don't want things like that. I'd rather spend my money on something that really matters to ME. I thought about it.... She was right! What better time to do something for myself than right now? I deserve this!
I did a lot of on-line research and pretty much knew about all of the risks and recovery as well as the pro's and con's of sub-mammary, sub-muscular; saline, and memory-gel. I scheduled a
consultation with Dr. Harvey Bock at Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Specialists, and had a wonderful experience. I tried on a bra with different sized implants tucked inside and instantly knew that this was going to be the best thing I could ever do for myself. Nothing would make me happier. I scheduled my surgery before I left that day.
I couldn't wait for my big day! That day was yesterday, and I could not believe how comfortable I was through the entire experience. Every single doctor, nurse, and aid made me feel comfortable and cared for. In fact, I was so happy, I woke up smiling in the recovery room!
Yesterday and today I felt sore and swollen, but it's quite manageable with the pain-meds prescribed to me. I just feel like I'm a bit sore as if I were lifting weights at the gym or something. I'm happy I took a full week off of work to allow myself to heal comfortably though.
I know it's only one day after my surgery, but I can't get over how beautiful they are! They are quite puffy at the top, but I'm not worried because I read that this is normal and over time they will settle to their natural positions. I can already see that they are the perfect size and bring my figure to a full sexy shape from top to bottom. I'm so happy I did this! I am just glowing with excitement looking forward to the sexy dresses and bras in my future!
If you are thinking about this: Do it for YOU! Do your research! and remember... You deserve to put YOURSELF first!
