My experience with Dr. Ghersi has been above and beyond. Since day one, he has been very insightful with the process of breast augmentation. He guided me deciding what augmentation is best for me, which was silicone gel augmentation. He also explained the most recommended incision for me which left very unnoticeable; very minuscule scars. On the day of the surgery, he gave me the secure confidence that everything turn out fine, which was true! My post operation was excellent, my recuperation went very smoothly. After the three months of my surgery, my goal has been made. The final results completely amazed me, and it has been a great experience since day one. Furthermore, I am thankful to have been with Dr.Ghersi because I'm thrilled with my results. I couldn't be happier with the service, treatment, and most importantly the outcome. I will highly recommend it to anyone that wants to make this procedure with Dr.Ghersi.

Thank You LA I just want a natural look and to be honest I'm very Happy with the Results.
you look wonderful! so good to read about another happy out come. Did you do under or over the muscle?
Hello Mrs 510 Thank You ,Well under the muscle.
You look very nice with the new boobies! my big sisters name is Kenia shes gonna be 31 this month, funny, i rarely hear her name :)
Thanks for the comment Tgovea, happy birthday to your sister Kenia.
I got my BA with Doctor Guersi too, 3 days ago and I dont regret it at all, I feel my healing precess is being pretty smooth too. I havent been in a lot of pain. Is been just very swollen, Im full of gas in my tummy. Also feel a lot of pressure but not a pain that I cant handle. Thank God!! I seen reviews here of other women that say this been the most painful thing they have felt in their life even worst then giving birth! :/ So Im glad I am not one of those. But I do have a question for you because Im freaking out about just this. Did you get any stretchmarks on ur breasts? I saw ur before pic and u were pretty small and they look big n nice now. Please tell me how that went with u. He told me to use cocoa butter n I started today but I feel itchy and I know thats the skin stretching!!!! :(
Hello SweetAmy0787, I'm glad that you're doing well with your healing & I hope you feel better. I recommend resting consistently which will help you very much. I didn't take any pain pills that Dr. Ghersi prescribed this causes the gases in your stomach, instead I took Tylenol, the antibiotic, and the muscle spasm medicine. No, I didn't gain any stretchmarks at all. Eating pineapple will help with your swelling and healing of your skin, and if your cocoa butter is causing itchiness, please get vaseline cocoa butter, this is the one that I used and it really helped. I hope that all of this information will helps, I wish you the best, you'll be very happy, good luck! :)
Thank you for the advices :-) and yes im feeling better and I have cut down the pain killers I drink then only at night before bed. My right boob keep hurting like if I had a bubble of air inside, I wonder if that pain will go away anytime soon. I really hope I dont get the stretch marks either n the cocoa butter Om using feels good. Thank u for ur response hopefully I hear from you soon again. Take care n enjoy ur breasts they look very good. Xoxo
You're welcome my pleasure. Good, keep the pain killers at a minimum. When is your next appointment with Doctor Ghersi? I think you may want to call and let them know. My left one always felt very tight and painful at the beginning. It's part of the process it will get better, you just need time, and make sure that you use your special bra and try to keep it on all the time. In one week the doctor will tell you to start with the massage, and that will help with the tenderness as well. I hope you get well soon, and please let me know how you feel. Try to rest as much as you can. Goodnight Amy :)
Yes hun, my next appointment is on monday May 20th. I told him about my right boob when he saw me on monday morning he said to keep the band on the boobs for the whole week till monday when he sees me again because he sees them swollen still. He said that pain will go away eventually. I cant wait is driving me nuts! I am sleeping on my sides already or on my back but with a pillow on my back so Im not completely flat. My back hurts a lot today tomorrow I will rest more the today I had a busy day today n didnt rest enough as I should. I dont think I will need my pain killer tonight I just had muscle relaxer twice today. I will call tomorrow the doctor to ask if I can get a refill on the muscle relaxer cuz i have only 3-4 pills left. Thank u for the encouragement you just gave me. I apreciate it and I hope u have a great night as well. Xoxo
beautiful, congratulation. high or moderate profile? can you put more pictures. thank you

My motivation has always been to do this procedure...

My motivation has always been to do this procedure for the longest. I am very grateful that I have chosen upon this decision. I was a full B and got 421cc silicone gel. Now I'm a full C. I have become very satisfied with the results, and thus I feel more confident with myself overall. I have no cons whatsoever.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are loving your results! Just curious as to what type of incisions you have? Were you initially satisfied with your results or did you become more happy as you healed? Thanks for sharing on RealSelf!

Hello Beth H. I had my incisions done through the areola. It was bit painful at the start, but as time went through I got a lot better, and I was definitely satisfied with my final results as I healed.

I also did my incision via the areola and I cannot see the scars at all!
