It Was Worth the Time, Money and Rough Journey - Mississauga, ON

For some reason, even when I was much younger, I knew something wasn't quite right with my breasts. I didn't have much of an issue with their size (34A), as I am petite and I play a lot of sports. From a young age, when my body started changing (13ish), I felt extremely insecure (more than most do at that time). The shape of my breasts bothered me, nothing fit properly, and I wouldn't change in front of anyone. My bra's never fit, my bathing suits looked weird, and I always had to make sure I was wearing something that compressed them. I was a quiet person, still am to this day, and I never liked drawing attention to myself. I went through elementary school, high school and partially through college and university depressed, irritated and quite alone. I never let anyone see them or know what was wrong. It isn't something that comes up in conversation, or if it does people brush it off as just another insecurity, saying ,"You're just being insecure, I'm sure they look fine." I had always joked that I wanted implants because I had small breasts, little did people know it was mostly because I had a slight deformity. Finally, I got fed up when I was 21, made a consultation appointment and brought my mom along. I couldn't take feeling like crap about myself anymore, it had affected my mood and attitude for so long that I was determined to fix it.
At the consultation, without me even explaining what had been bothering me all this time, Dr. Lista said what I had always known, and what my mother needed to hear. That I had a tuberous breast deformity, and I wasn't just being insecure about my "normal" breasts.
He was very upfront about what needed to be done if I wanted a change. I would have incisions around both of my areola and under my breasts and implants (Gel Cohesive) put in. I did not want the incisions around my areola's, but it had to be done to properly correct the problem. So, I booked my surgery for three weeks later when I was done school, and found a way to pay for it.
The staff were extremely caring and helpful, and I always looked forward to speaking with them, no matter how bad of a day I was having. They always put you in a great mood, and made you feel completely comfortable. I always left feeling much better about myself, and that everything would be alright.
Today, a year and a half later, I feel like a different person. Dr. Lista did a great job and it's amazing how much they've changed (size, but mostly shape). I can wear anything I want without feeling like I look strange, I fill out tops and dresses (34C), I don't feel as insecure in the relationship department, and of course, I now have the option of not wearing a bra!
