These are boobs now
WORTH IT$3,200
I asked for a large c-small d and was given a DDD! So I wear a 32ddd, which is not available where I love :( online ordering is all I can do.
But I do like how they've turned out. I just wish they were closer together for better cleavage. But dr. Handshakes told me he had to go with my natural cleavage. Is that what everyone has been told?

3 wk and 5 days PO for BA
Well the swelling in my right breast has home down a little. I hope that continues.
My coordinator finally got back to me about my painful swollen breast and arm. She and my doctor don't believe it's swollen, they said its just the angle if the camera. (I sent them pictures) that was very insulting, they acted like I don't see and feel my breast everyday, to know its swollen. So they just brushed me off. They also said the pain in my arm and breast is normal and in 6 months ill feel better. Has anyone else felt pain in their arm from a BA? This worries me.
I posted my pictures and concerns in the Q&A on this site and none of the doctors had anything good to say about it. But I don't have enough money nor insurance to get it checked right now. So forced to wait it out and see if it gets better or worse.
Here's my ladies now :) I'm still in love with them and getting used to the heaviness up top. Lol
They're both not as high anymore, but still have more dropping and fluffing to do.
The other night my bandages came off in the shower. My scars look really good. It was exciting to finally see them!

I have been communicating with Coral Gables because they have a special on for 3,500 for silicone implants but it concerns me because they said I need to make a one time full payment of the 3,500 to book the date. Usually there is a deposit. Did you have to pay upfront? They make me seem like they are shady....and a bit untrustworthy, however I did have a phone consult with Dr. Freiman and he seemed really nice and told me what I wanted to hear :)

They made me pay mine in full too. And it's non refundable if you change you change your mind. Ask all the questions you need. I thought I could get teardrop breast implants, when I got there I was told only round. My doctor doesn't help me after I left there.. So even ask about follow up care. Good luck.

Hi, i wanted to answer your question.first i would like to say is i am getting mine done with Dr.Hunsaker.Coral Gables want 3500 because regular price at coral gables cosmetic center is 4500 .They want 3500 up front or 3800 in payments.Why won't you go to Dr.Hunsaker.I don't about Dr.Frieman I wouldn't go to him IDK.

Thank you, A2Dfinally. I am concerned about that. I don't have 100% trust in what Yadira is telling me, however, I do feel that I have trust in the doctor and that he can give me the results I am looking for. I was told that I won't even see the surgeon for post op app :( I feel that CGCC will be a good place if all goes smooth but if something goes wrong, I would pretty much be screwed! Dr. Ghersi who used to work at CGCC is 1,000 more at his private practice and I am trying to decide if the extra money may be worth it in the long run as Dr. Ghersi has emailed me personally with responses to my questions.

Jean. Where are you located? I'm in wy, and I regret going so far. I wish I could walk into the office to have my ps look at my breasts. And I hate that he doesn't call me or seem to care and I can't do anything about it because I live too far away.
But otherwise everything went fine. You're very rushed there. Just make sure you know everything before paying me. My ps told me the coordinators will tell you whatever they need to get your money because they're pd off commission.
I don't know if my ps did a good job on mine or not. One is bigger than the other, also it's wider than the other. That really makes me unhappy. It's a big issue to me.
But you do have a different PS so hopefully yours will do better :)

I am from Ontario, Canada so I would by flying in as well. This is because all Miami prices are about half price for this procedure. If I am not going to CGCC I will be going to Ghersi who is also in Miami however Ghersi I feel will continue to answer my questions, etc. He even said he would talk to me over Skype after the surgery so he can look at my breasts so that right there maybe worth the extra money. IDK. Dr. Freiman suggested that I need high profile so I was thinking maybe the shaped ones would be nice but you are saying they only have round. Also, since I will be having surgery out of the country I have arranged for a plastic surgeon in my area to see me for after care appointments. Maybe that is something you should consider doing if you have concerns.....

Flaky doctor
Well I am now 22 days post op. wow, that's unbelievable.
My left breast has dropped more than my right and looks pretty nice. Tho my right breast is still riding high and pretty swollen. My right breast is sore, very sensitive nipples, sometimes hurts to touch the right. Lifting is still uncomfortable, and my right arm periodically hurts.
I know it's too early to be getting all worried about capsular contracture and other conditions. But I am!
My surgeon is in Miami and I'm in WY, so I can't walk in and ask him to look at me.
I emailed him with my concerns and photos and he never responded. His secretary emailed me telling me to do the massages that he showed me in his office. But he never showed me the massages while I was in his office! She told me to stand against a wall while someone pushes my breast down. NO I'm not doing that, it hurts.
I'm so frustrated and even more disappointed in my doctor than I was. I paid for these, I deserve to have him answer me. I'm so worried and honestly scared, it's just a terrible feeling to have a doctor who doesn't care what you're going through :(
The price was right, but otherwise I do regret traveling so far for my BA.
Here's my photos, you can see the difference in my left and right.
