“2 Days Post Op - White Plains, NY”

Hey Girls. I've been reading reviews on this site for months and finally decided to make one. I had my surgery yesterday, April 15th. I'm 22, 105 lbs, about 5'4. Decided to get 375 CC's, "Gummy Bear" silicone implants, High profile, sub muscular. After years of wanting them, I finally saved up enough and got it done. I'm really happy with the results. I have to say, after reading all the... more

“Friendly Surgeon, Perfect Results -...”

So all this is great, but worthless if he isn't as talented as he is amicable, but he was! The surgery went without a hitch and was surprisingly painless. The recovery was equally quick and pain free. His suggestions of size and location of incision resulted in a pair of perfect breasts. They are perfectly even - he had to use two different sized implants to achieve that - and have almost no... more

“1 week post op new pics”

Hi everyone I'm 29 with a 2yr old son. I've always wanted breast implants but after having my son and breast feeding him I want them even more. I've never felt good about wearing certain tops and bikinis. I'm 5'5 143lbs and I wear a 36a. I'm looking to go up to a C cup. I'll be getting 350cc's silicone gel implants under the muscle moderate plus profile Areola incision. I'm really happy about... more

“Filled with Excitement and Nervous -...”

At consult I spoke with PS and he felt I would do well with 325 cc silicone GellP under muscle to full me in and give me a natural look. Oh a little about me I'm 5' 4'' 130 lbs currently I wear 34b padded vs bras always....lol.and I went to post op yesterday and told him I think I would like to go a little bigger 34 D and he said I have a small frame and doesn't want me to look fake so WA will... more

“Going to Rack City! - White Plains, NY”

Since middle school, I've always known I wanted to get breast implants (even though I wasn't fully developed, haha!) My idea of the "perfect pair" are the kind you find in magazines that look somewhat fake but still natural, if that makes any sense. Anyways, I had my nose done first in 2011 which was my number one, and after many long, drawn out months of waiting (I'll explain why) I'm finally... more

“I Am SO Happy and Thankful! -...”

I always dreamed about having breast augmentation but was scared of not finding the right doctor. I am now 3 weeks post-op and couldn't be happier!!!! He did such a perfect job, I am so thankful for having found him!!!! Everything was way beyond my expectations!!! The size is perfect, they look amazing!!! And my recovery was super fast without any pain. My only big regret is not having this... more

“Extremely Happy with Breast...”

Prior to consulting with Dr. Salzberg, I had 2 breast lifts with another plastic surgeon. About a year after the first surgery, my breasts "dropped". I had a revision done in which the surgeon attempted to create a new inframammary fold with my own breast tissue and muscle. This did not hold and a year later, my breasts had sagged even lower than before. It was then that a friend recommended... more

“By far the best! - White Plains, NY”

Just had my breasts done by him. The first day was ok. i would have to say that the 2nd day was the worst but i managed to sleep through it. Day 3 i started to get up and move around. I showered and removed the tape after 48 hours. Day 4 & 5 i actually felt good enough to drive and go get coffee. It's been 6 days, & im in no pain! just a little sore. I'm so happy with my results. He is... more

“New Boobs..worries over Size? Only...”

Finally decided to take a leap and do something for myself, albeit significant and costly. I am a married mom of 3 kids 5 years old and under. I breastfed/pumped for each about 2-3 months. I am now a very deflated 34B. I am 5'6" and 118lbs. I've done a lot of research to now know my ribcage measurement is 29" and breast width diameter (bwd) is somewhere between 13.3-13.9. I am having silicone... more

“Beautiful Job on Breast Augmentation...”

I started off as a 32B, and ended up going with 300cc silicone implants, through the areola, under the muscle. The day of surgery and the few days after surgery were rough, however that is to be expected.  After surgery, I am a 32DD, but look like a 32 C. The look and feel is perfect. Dr. Engler did a phenomenal job. I couldn't be happier with the results, they exceeded my greatest... more

“Excellent Breast Surgeon - New York, NY”

My breasts were always small and I wanted implants since high school. When I turned 18 I startedt o seriously look into this. It tok a few years to get my courage and after my 21st birthday I decided taht this was going to happen. I researced surgeons for over 6 months and decided on Dr. Schulman even before I went for my consultation. He didn't disappoint with the results. I had saline... more

“Life Changing Experience - New York, NY”

A few months ago I finally decided to get a breast augmentation done. After losing some weight my breasts started looking worse than usual (I had a condition that's called tuberous breasts.) Here's what he did: 350cc silicone implants, tuberous breast deformity repair and left breast lift. The price was above what the average breast augmentation surgery costs in NYC but I couldn't be more... more

“The Self-worth & Confidence I Gained...”

Motivation: I was a 34A cup with a wider bottom "half." My body type stats: 5'6"/130lbs at time of surgery/ size 6 pants. I ALWAYS felt self conscious about my body and it deterred me from even being sexually active at times. I hated swimsuit season, and hid in my clothes because I was so ashamed, felt worthless about what I looked like. Serious confidence issues. Outcome: Sheer... more

“Saline Implants 12 Years Old and...”

First, I want to say I've been reading this website for a few years. I've considered facelifts and injections--and consult realself for nearly every cosmetic concern. Now, I'm finally participating. Thank you everyone for your stories and advice! Twelve years ago I made the decision to get my implants. I had literally wanted them since the age of ten. I was always self conscious about my... more

“Great Doctor - New York, NY”

The surgery itself wasn't scary or nerve wrecking. The anesthesia was administered and I was knocked out before I knew it, and I woke up to a new body. Although I was extremely lethargic after waking up, I could tell that I was being taken care of. Dr. Engler and his staff made sure that I would be in good hands when I was being picked up to go home. The recovery period wasn’t as bad as... more

“Best Doctor! - New York, NY”

Apparently every woman says this, but I REALLY needed them to look real, for personal and work reasons. I almost didn't want to get the procedure if I didn't find a doctor who could do that, and if you saw my breasts you'd know what a big statement that is. My kids trashed my boobs, all the tissue was gone and only skin was left. No one wants empty saggy breasts, but I'm 30 and attractive so... more

“Breast Augmentation - White Plains, NY”

After having my rhino with Dr. C and being satisfied beyond words, I knew I'd be back.  His work is just PHENOMENAL and after my nose, I knew I'd found a doctor for life!   This November I went back for a breast augmentation and lypo of my chin. The issue that I had with my breasts was that they were deflated due to pregnancy, and I wanted to restore the volume and perk of my... more

“My Breast Augmentation - New York, NY”

I am 27 years old and have never been happy with my "A" cup breasts. My insecurity took over a big part of my life. To give you an idea, if I were in a locker room I would not change my shirt in the presence of others and I would not leave my house without a padded bra that would give the illusion that I had bigger breasts than I actually had. I knew having breast augmentation would be the... more

“Amazing Results! - New York, NY”

My story is a little different that some of the others. I was always pretty happy with my breasts, and never thought seriously about getting implants. However, as I got older, I began to think that if my breasts started to sag significantly once I hit late 40s/50s, I would probably get implants. One day, it finally hit me that, heck I was already in my 40s so why wait much longer.   more

“The Best Plastic Surgeon - New York, NY”

The surgery went smoothly and the recovery was great. However, during my third week post op appointment, Dr. Schulman spotted a light bruise underneath my right breast and he told me that was an old hematoma and should be removed to decrease future risk of complications. Being out of the surgery just three weeks, I did not want to go back there (I felt fine and the bruise would go away). He... more

“I Should Have Done This Sooner -...”

I was very scared to have my boobs done because i had never had a surgery in my life. I had many questions and concerns during the whole process. I am so glad I decided to go with Dr. F (he was one of four dr. I interviewed to do my surgery) because he answered all my question and made me feel so comfortable. My biggest challenge during the whole process was to trust a stranger with my life... more

“Worth the Trip to NYC - New York, NY”

I live almost two hours outside NYC. Over this past summer, I began to seriously contemplate getting a breast augmentation, something that I had thought about for a long time. I am a college student and still live at home with my mom and we discussed it together and both agreed that it was something that could boost my self-esteem greatly. I almost felt like less of a women because I had such... more

“How Important Choosing the Right...”

After discussing the questions I had, Dr. Engler decided to give me 225 or 250cc on my surgery day and he would choose the size whichever fit me the best. I was kind of apprehensive about the sizes he suggested because i thought they were too small, but after he explained to me that since my chest was literally flat, I have a small frame(5"01, 100 pd) and I wanted a natural looking result,... more

“Best Doctor In NYC - New York, NY”

At his suggestion, I would undergo periareolar ( nipple) incisions which I am still ecstatic about . After waking up from my procedure I was able to walk out of the office comfortably. I had no side effects or complications. I even had sensation in my nipples the first night! There was absolutely no pain, discomfort or bruising. I was given prescriptions to manage any pain, but never wound up... more

“I Am a Small 32B and Want to Go to a...”

I currently wear a size 32B bra and it fits but I do not completely fill it out. I am wanting to go to a full C cup and do NOT want a D. I am very thin. 120 lbs and 5'7. I think a D will not look good, or natural on my frame. I have selected highly cohesive gel implants under the muscle. Please let me know what CCs you suggest to get me to my goal of a full C. I am very confused as I have... more

“Breast Augmentation with Dr. Vitolo...”

My implants looked exactly the way Dr. Vitolo said they would. I chose saline implants and had them placed under the muscle. Before surgery I was a 36A and am now a 36B/C. The pain after surgery however was the worst I'd ever felt and it lasted three months. I was able to return to work a week later and continue work out routine 3 months later.  have no visible scars and all in all, I am... more

“5 Stars? More Like 6 for Dr. Engler...”

I am 48 years old and I finally felt financially secure and self confident enough to move forward with breast augmentation, something I had wanted for years. My sister had hers done 12 years ago but her doctor retired. The surgery (my first ever) was comfortable and quick. Recovery was a short week of just some stiffness, no real pain. more

“Mommy Makeover. No Words to Express...”

I thought long and hard about the decision to have plastic surgery done and my only regret now is that I did not have it done sooner. I was extremely obese for 20 years and carried most of the weight around my abdomen. In 2004 I accomplished a 100 pound weight loss by low carb dieting, and after keeping the weight off for two years, I decided to have a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation.... more

I am from South Florida, which has a plethora of plastic surgeons from which to choose. From the moment I had decided that I was going to have a breast augmentation, I knew the most important factor for me was finding a doctor that was experienced, trustworthy, and one of the best in the industry. I knew when I found Dr. Alan Engler, that he met and surpassed all of my criteria. Despite... more

“Amazing Results from Having Breast...”

I spent 3 years looking for the right doctor to perform my surgery. At some point in those 3 years I started having 2nd thoughts on not doing the procedure. The doctor's I visited just didnt make me feel comfortable, I felt like a ATM machine. In 2011 my world change, I have a habit of listening to the TV in the mornings when putting on my makeup. I heard a woman interviewing a doctor... more

So I'm going to my breast implants very very soon. My doctor decided to go under the muscle 450cc and 475cc. Ones slightly smaller than the other. Anyways I'm a little nervous..

“So Excited, Yet So Nervous! -...”

I'm not really sure where to begin, this is a really new experience(blogging): Since I was about 14 and came to the full realization that my breasts were not really developing in comparison to the other girls around me, I have been considering having this procedure done.

I was up and... more

“Bringin' Sexy Back - Central New Jersey”

A change of heart ... My breast augmentation surgery is set for April 24 2012. I was asked to share my story and since I'm not much of a blog person, I was uncomfortable sharing my experiences. Now, I think that's not fair, there are women out there right now in the same position. This can be a scary process leading up to surgery. I am a competitive athlete, tall and thin with very... more

I decided (at 50 - better late than never!) that after losing 40 pounds working hard at the gym, my chest needed a little boost!

“Amazing experience - Bronx, NY”

I have always had small breasts, and I have worn crazy padded bras since I was in 8th grade. I went from stuffing them with scrunchies, to socks to now just gel inserts and cutlets when necessary. I am 5'5, and about 120 pounds. I have wide hips that honestly look really nice and shapely and I would just love to have a womanly, voluptuous and sexy figure on the top and the bottom. I can... more

“Simply the Best - New York”

For confidence! After long consideration, I decided to get breast implants. It was definitely not an easy decision since I haven’t had any kind of surgery before.

I did a lot of research, spent a lot of time in front of my laptop and took a lot of notes... more

To be completely confident with my body. I am now 2 weeks post-op, and I have to say that Dr.Engler is a master at his craft. My previously small and uneven breasts now look even, and they already feel and look natural, as if these were the perfect breasts that I was supposed to be born with. more

During the consultation I came with questions and they were welcomed by the Dr. It really put me at ease that he was so open and honest with me about all of my... more

“Awesome - Manhattan, NY”

I was super nervous about the procedure as I had been warned against getting it done for several reasons. I was told that I could not just get the augmentation and that I would also need a lift to correct the ptosis before getting it. I found a doctor that had done amazing work in patients with mild to severe ptosis with just augmentation alone. I set my appointment (I also needed a... more

“Best Decision Ever Made - New York, NY”

I once had very large breasts naturally and after they shrunk by themselves they deflated and didn't look very nice. Dr heller did a great job in lifting them and doing a little implant so I can get that perkiness back. I'm so glad I made the decision to go with dr heller. more

“Fabulous Doctor - New York”

My breasts never really developed and I felt they were very disproportionate to the rest of my body.

“Happy to "B" Me - New York”

My only concern was not to look fake. After yrs. of being unhappy &... more

“Breast Augmentation - New York, NY”

This is not a sales pitch! this is my story! I had ugly breasts. As if ugly was not enough, they were  also very different. They were small, (34A), but Size was the least of my problems.

I verbalized my... more

“He's a Miracle Worker! - White...”

Dr. C not only did my breast augmentation, but he did 3 of my girlfriends as well. All of our breasts are different sizes, but they look as natural as before we got them done. The biggest problem women have with implants is them being noticably fake. Dr. C has a way of positioning them, to perfectly suit your body type so you don't have this problem. At the same time I had my breast... more

“Thrilled! - Westchester, NY”

My boobs were saggy & deflated (34C/D) from nursing 3 kids and losing a lot of weight. To avoid the scars, I didn't want a breast lift even though I was a prime candidate.

Two actively discouraged implants without a lift (said I wouldn't get the results I sought) and two were more... more

I love the size and shape of my new breasts, the doctor gave me exactly what I wanted and I would definitely recommend him. But I am concerned that when I indicated that I have a latex allergy the nurses neglected to ensure that my wounds were dressed with hypo-allergenic materials resulting in my current discomfort. I went from a B- to a C+ and I love them! I just hope the incisions heal... more
