How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'm 5'0" and very petite at 105lbs. If you saw me on the street, you'd think I was crazy to get a TT but after 3 kids and 2 of them over 9 lbs, my skin has stretched out. It bothers me. My boobs used to be nice, not big but perky. After bf'ing all my kids, they are deflated but not horrible. But dh is so supportive and told me to go ahead and do both since I am going under. I am fit and work out several times a week. But my skin bothers me and I am so self conscious about my midsection. So, at 42 this is something am doing for myself. I have found a great PS in my area and have my procedure set for 9/4, the day after Labor Day. My kids will be in school and dh won't have to worry about watching the kids all day. My kids are 8, 5 and 3. I am writing a review b/c I so appreciate all the reviews here so I could know what to expect.

8/17 Had my pre-op appt today and got sized for my BA. I am petite and about a 34B now but the top of my breasts are deflated. I'd like to regain the fullness more than anything. I am going with silicone and we decided mid profile 339cc. Or 304cc. PS will determine the day of surgery by placing them and deciding which looks best. I feel like 339 looked good at the office with lots of fullness but then I saw pics online of women who had 339cc and some of them look huge. =/ I run and don't want them to get in the way and don't want people to really know I had a BA. I don't want it to be obvious I had them done.

8/19 Okay, researching on the Internet is not the wisest thing to do 2 weeks before surgery. I go back and forth on my size and can't decide how big to go LOL. I want to be modest but then I don't want to regret going "too natural". I am thinking about going back for another appt to try on more sizers. Trying to gather everything I need for the surgery. I'm a planner. The surgery check list given to me by my dr is very short. Like 5 things. I haven't gotten a toilet seat riser and wonder if I'll really need it. I should probably do it. I just hate to buy things I know I'll use once. Oh, and did I mention I'll be on my period during that time. =/ My PS said it's not a problem and won't be anything to worry about except that I don't really want dh changing my pads. Poor guy will have enough to do helping me out of bed to pee every 2 hours. I am on the pill so I know for sure I'll have it then. Anyone else go through this? I'm wondering if I should just start a new pill pack and skip it this month.

And did I mention that I will have to take a car...

And did I mention that I will have to take a car service or cab to my surgery center? My surgery is at 7:30a and it takes an hour to get there. DH has to stay home to get all 3 kids to school. So I will be alone right before surgery. Things like that don't really bother me but I have a feeling I will be wishing he were there to give me a reassuring kiss before I go under.

I read lots of great reviews on realself.com and decided to see for myself. I also went on another consultation and Dr. Basu's office blew the other place out of the water. Elizabeth, my patient coordinator, was amazing with answering my questions and following up. The nurses and staff have been great. From the beginning to surgery to follow up care, they have been great and always make me feel cared for. I would recommend Dr. Basu to anyone who is interested in having a TT and BA done.
