My dreams of having boobies have started like many of you guys here from childhood. I'm a 29 year mother to a 11yr old and a 9 yr. I never felt comfortable in my clothes because I was lacking in the cleavage area. I finally decided to do something about it back in Oct,2012 when I contacted Dr. Ricardo L. Rodriguez office in Lutherville-Timonium, MD. I'm only 7 days away from the day. We decided on 375 cc High Profile Silicone Implant. I have been waiting for since middle school. I'm extremely nervous but excited at the same time.

Surgery went Great !! In just a Little sore . I decided to get the pain pump for a addition $250.00 and I must say its well worth it . Thank God for my boyfriend for taking a week out of work with me to help out . (I live that man ) I needed help with simple things like getting my water using the bathroom etc etc . DrR and his staff was Amazing !! I never felt more comfortable !! I work in the health care field so it's kinda hard being on the other end . I made a great choice . I will update later

Finally had my Jp drains removed and was clear to take a shower.
Removing the Jp drains was the worst experience ever for me afterwards me my Bf headed to Vicki's to buy a bra. I picked up a 34 c to kinda see what my measurement was and I was on the last strap and it was super tight . Hopefully more fluffy and dropping will happen soon ...

Today was my 1 week follow up with my PS . We both think my results are amazing !! I'm happy I decided to go with him . His staff was wonderful and I couldn't ask to be in better hands.. Today I'm just wish I went a little bigger so I'm a little sad . I brought a bra from Target 2days ago and I'm fitting a 36c . I just wish I had a little more projection ...

Hello Ladies !!
It has been 3 weeks now since I had my Breast Augmentation and I only have two regrets . 1 . Wish I would've went bigger and 2. I wish I would've done it sooner !! I feel like my new babies are apart of me . I sometime wake up stiff in the morning but other than that no pain . I have a consultation in March at Johns Hopkins Cheif Resident Clinic and I can't wait to start this process for my tummy tuck !! New pics added !!

Phone or Email Responsiveness
Staff Professionalism & Courtesy
Payment Process
Wait Times

After lurking on this website for the past 3 years I finally decided to stop talking about the things I wanted and starting going after them. Dr. Rodriguez was very down to earth and very personable. He ask me why I wanted to have a breast augmentation and what I wanted done. He was having a special at the time for 5,500 so I decided it was now or never !!!

I didn't get the pain pump but they offered me a post surgical injection called Exparel for additional fee of $300 and just like you it was so worth the money. I had my surgery on 3/21/13 and didn't have any pain!

Your scar looks great! Boobs look very natural! Congratulations on the upcoming tummy tuck! Why didn't you schedule your procedure together? One recovery, one anesthesia fee.
Lovebird83 12 Apr 2013
I didn't have the funds
Honeydoo72 14 Apr 2013

i noticed that you chose to insert your breasts around your nipple area... did you loose sensitivity?
Lovebird83 4 Feb 2013
The first week I didn't feel anything at all ... I honstely say it slowly coming back .
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 3 Feb 2013
I wish I went bigger too! :/ Let's give it some time! They are still adjusting.
Lovebird83 4 Feb 2013

Seriously, you look great! You can play them up or play them down. They are a great size.

You have high profile. They will most likely drop more. As long as it fits your frame then I think you're good. We look and analyze them all the time noticing everything. My bf says the are big enough and beautiful. Mine are moderate profile so they are really full but don't project out that much. I got use to them when they were swollen. But now they are dropping nicely and look very natural. You just gotta dress those babies up and don't look at them so much naked. It's still early for you. Just be patient.
Angel1981 24 Jan 2013
I the we all go through that. I'm at that point right now...but anything is better than what I had. I think once you drop and fluff you'll be pleasantly surprised.
