“Excited = BA Scheduled July 25th...”

I have entertained the thought of getting breast implants for many years. However never actually thought it would happen. After speaking with my husband about it being something I wanted for myself he said although he does not think I need it he would support me in my decision but thinks I am beautiful either way. I am 5'6 , 127 lbs and am 26 years old. I found a doctor I am comfortable... more

“Best -Oak Brook, IL”

My goal was to go from a 36B to 36D/34DD using saline implants, and Dr. Ross made it possible! What I love most about my new chest is that it looks and feels very natural.    more

“No More 38 Longs! - Plainfield, IL”

So 15 years ago I lost 72 lbs and have kept 85% of it off all this time. My boobs sagged from a DD to a small C and I have pooches of chub from my waist down. I'm a size 12/14. 5'10". 43 years old. Surgery for a breast lift, implant and lipo on my abs, flanks outer thighs and knees was scheduled for 3/12 and all went well. . After reading all of the posts on here, I was most freaking out... more

“Subglandular 450cc's - Chicago, IL”

7 days post op Surgery was not bad, nor was recovery. Worst part of surgery was anesthesia, and worst part of recovery is immobility and stomach ache/nausea from meds. Stats: 5'11" 169 lbs 32" rib cage before BA bra size 38B after BA fitting into a 38D 450 cc/saline/overs/crease incision So I hate to be a negative Nancy, but so far I hate that I did this.

“Beautiful Natural Results! - Chicago, IL”

I originally went to 2 other plastic surgeons and they scared me with how big they wanted to go with my teeny frame. So after they wanted to dissect me, I ran! Then I didnt think about it anymore until just a few months ago when I decided to call Dr. Ross after a lot of research and great reviews. I went in for the consult and right away I told him I wanted to be small and didnt understand how... more

“Best PS Around. Very Caring and...”

Ill post the before and after as soon as I take them. more

“I Am Finally Doing Breast...”

So, right now I am seriously searching for a reputable and yet reasonable surgeon. I am from Milwaukee, WI but so far, I think I am going to do my surgery in Chicago, not sure with whom yet so recommendations are welcome. So far I am thinking Dr Ross. My plan is to vigorously search for the next 2 weeks, have the surgery shortly after in time for summer. Breastfed my 3 kids for a year each,... more

“*Post op Week 6 (almost) on new...”

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to have found this site as not many of my friends (even my bf) are not supportive of my plans in getting a BA. Since HS, I have always thought about BA and always have a love-hate relationship about getting it or not. I am currently an RN and works ED and ICU and always sees all these scary post-op complications from surgeries which made me hate going under the... more

“Breast Augmentation - Great...”

I only wish I had done it sooner! I had my breast augmentation done 2 weeks ago. I had a very good experience. I truly expected to be in pain and it was just like pressure and soreness, not pain. I wanted breast augmentation, because I had breast fed for a year and my breasts were really saggy. I love my new breasts! I have a lot more self-confidence.  more

“Finally Got my Husband on Board -...”

It took a little work but I finally got my husband on board and had my augmentation with Dr. Johnson. I wanted boobs since like forever and can't say this really changed my life but I feel great with my decision. I went with the moderate silicone implants and even my husband is happy with them. It not like he didn't love my anyway but with my implants I look great. Really glad he went... more

“15 weeks Post op!! Perfect implant...”

I have wanted a boob job since I was in my twenties, I have never had big breast outside of pregnancy! I have put it off for too long, im 42 and figured its now or never!!

“Researched a Ton and Selected the...”

Well, I did not want to be too big. I wanted to look very natural, not too large as I am active, I did not want to look like I had implants, and I didn't want people's initial impression of me to be "breast implants". Dr. Iteld made sure the implants fit my body type. I am tall and lean and just couldn't put in too large of implants because they would not fit and they would be hanging out over... more

“6 weeks post op!”

Hey everyone! I'll get straight to the point here! I am 22 and i have an athletic build: broad shoulders, hips, but no boobs! This has always been something that has lowered my self esteem. I have been considering a breast augmentation for YEARS! and finally decided why not? I'm young and nows the time i would want to live for myself and be confident. I definitely have some concerns such as am... more

“Finally have boobs new pics! PO day 7!”

My best friend and I are currently looking into getting breast implants. We have been going to consultations with a bunch of different doctors trying to find the right one. I am currently a size 32a and am looking at becoming a small c cup. Definitely a little nervous but excited at the same time.

“Excellent Experience, Excellent...”

I had a 300cc Saline breast augmentation via areola performed by Dr. Mustoe in January. My experience was fantastic. He has a great bed side manner, and has very helpful and delightful staff working for him. More importantly, my results are extraordinary and more natural-looking than I could have ever possibly imagined. I chose a cup size I would like to be and showed pictures of what I wanted... more

“I'm Six Months Healed and Everone...”

I chose doctor Johnson after he spent the time to show me all the different breast implants as everone else seemed to have just a HP implant. I know they look real good in pictures and I wanted a more round and fake look. But after all the consultations I felt the moderate plus was right for me. I love my choice! I was kind of swollen for the first six weeks, but now after six months no one... more

“Ahh Need Advice!! ;-) - Barrington, IL”

Hi everyone!! So I'm writing this because I'm doing all my research on getting breast implants and after days of reading the reviews on here (good and bad) I'm getting a bit nervous but also very excited. I always had pretty big boobs but that was also because I was heavier... I lost over 40 lbs (still wanna lose about 20) but they shrunk obviously and just want them to be full and perky again... more

“Treats You Like Family...- Skokie, IL”

Great surgery results going from 32A(post 2 kids) to 32D. I am 6mths post-op and love the results! Very natural looking and feeling.  more

“Very Happy with my Results! -...”

I am 24 years old. I had breast augmentation surgery done on 11/12/12. I have wanted breast implants for as long as I can remember. I wanted to have fuller, more shapelier breasts with more cleavage. Decided to finally start a blog (better late than never.) I wanted to give Dr. P the best review I could and help provide women information since real self helped me make my decision. Here is more... more

“Breast Augmentation - Naperville, IL”

Hello all!! I am a 32 year old mother of 2, my oldest is 13 yrs old and my youngest is 13 months old and was breastfed until about 8 months of age. I've always had very small breasts and a larger frame, wide rib cage, no hourglass type figure...ya know, kinda shaped like a boy! Well, after breastfeeding my tiny boobies are even tinier, if that's possible! I finally decided now that I'm done... more

“IL”

Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morning and love the body you're in? Not many women do. There's always something - muffin tops, cellulite, saddlebags. In my case, it was breasts that didn't look as young and full of life as the rest of me. As a runner, my belly wasn't the only thing flat on my body. Training for a marathon, I went from a full C to a modest B, and I mean modest. In... more

“Finally Scheduled for March 28th! -...”

Hi all, I have been researching breast augmentation for months, and I finally think I'm ready. I am so thankful for this sight I thought I would pay it forward and share my experience. A little bit about me is I am 31 and a mother of 2 (which I breast fed for 14mths each!) I have always been really confident in my body. I'm not sure why but have always been really happy that I am. My current... more

“No More Putting the Boobies on the...”

Everyones stories have been so helpful to me, now I'll share mines..I'm 5'5, 137 lbs ,27years old and have three kids 10,8 and 2. I've always had a small perky bust (34b), but after having children it seemed like all the volume left the top of my breast. For years since I was a teen I wanted implants but after my babies it just made it worste!! I'm so tired of the push up and padded bras,... more

“I Have my Body Back! - Arlington...”

I waited nearly a year after my surgery to post this review. I wanted to make sure that I could give a thoughtful review; not a spontaneous review. Dr. Otto Placik was my surgeon and I was so shy about even consulting a surgeon. I have 3 children and am in my late 30s. I wanted to get back the breast volume I had and maybe a little more. I started out with a 32B and ended up with a 32DD... more

“Breast Augmentation - Chicago, IL”

The best decision I have ever made! I am 37 yrs old with 2 kids, and getting a breast augmentation was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. After losing weight I was not happy with my breast size so I decided to schedule a consultation. The office made me feel very comfortable, answering all of my questions and concerns. Josie B. (patient coord) helped me tremendously with sizing,... more

“I Need a Revision - Chicago, IL”

I started off with A cups. All I wanted was to have nice boobs, and I would have paid more than what I did to get them. I thought I knew what I wanted: 450cc Gel implants under the muscle. I felt I was getting a fair price for the procedure so I didn't bother with second opinions. I couldn't believe that my results were botched and now I have to have them revised. I'm not... more

“Great Doctor - Arlington Heights, IL”

I'm about a month out from having my surgery. Still have a while before I get my final results, but very happy so far. My Doctor was great, the office staff is excellent and I am so happy that I finally had this done. It is so nice to get rid of all the padded bras! I don't have any pictures yet (too early lol). Just wanted to give a little update. Things are progressing... more

“Happy with Natural Looking Results -...”

More volume, particularly at top of breasts, to improve and balance my overall body shape. I wanted to look better in my clothes. I also thought the procedure would give my body a slightly more youthful apppearance which it did. All surgery has risks and I experienced pain the first couple days following surgery, but the results made it worthwhile.  I wanted to achieve a very natural... more

“I Would Send All of my Friends and...”

I was extremely small chested after having my kids. It got to the point that I was embarassed about it. I went to see Dr. P, and liked him and his staff immediately and felt extremely confortable. It was the best thing that I could have done. I now look very natural and sexy! more

“Breast Augmentation 1989/DZ -...”

To enhance my appearence. My breasts were so small! Dr. K is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery! He has a wonderful staff ! I will foresure use him for any plastic surgery I have done in the future!

I never developed breasts so this surgery has made me feel normal instead of deformed. Actually I feel beautiful and sexy. more

“Best Thing I Ever Did - Naperville, IL”

Wonderful experience, very little pain, quick recovery and immense boost to self esteem. I don't look 13 anymore! My breasts look natural and that's what I wanted. Healing was fast, scarring was barely there and we got the symmetry I lacked prior to surgery. No complications. more

“Even Better Than I Expected! - Oak...”

Having my orginal breast augmentation from 16 years ago redone, started to lose volume. more

“Splendid Surgeon - Illinois”

I've always had a bigger butt and smaller breasts. I just wanted to be more in proportion. Dr. P was recommended to me by a friend who recently had her breasts done. We have similar body shapes, so I scheduled a consultation but was very nervous. After I met Dr. P i knew immediately he was the doctor to do the surgery for me. He was patient and answered all my questions. It just felt right... more

“Your Search is Over - Illinois”

After having 3 children and nursing them each for about 6 months, I was left with empty (loss of volume) and sagging breasts. I was very unhappy with what they looked like. I wanted them to be full and perky like they were before children. I just had my breast implants removed and replaced with silicone and could not be any happier. I am extremely thrilled with my results and my recovery... more

“Amazing! - Oak Brook, IL”

Dr. P is the most professional, knowledgeable, personable and friendly doctors I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Before choosing to do my breast augmentation I did my research, spoke to many others who also had this procedure done, and spoke with more than 7 different doctor offices. Every other office that I spoke to, charged between $50 and $250 just for the consultation, of course if... more

“One Week of Pain for Bigger Boobs?...”

I kept a diary during my recovery from breast augmentation. Looking at it, I was miserable beyond description the first week and doing fine after that. Isn’t it obvious why I got it done? ROFL I wanted bigger boobs! At least I can admit it was a total vanity experience. Before the procedure I was a B and now I’m a D. BIG difference. For the first week I had so much trouble with my... more
