WORTH IT$7,500
oh, I forgot to mention how wonderful Dr. E and his staff were towards me throughout the whole experience. I never felt like a dollar sign. Dr. Epstein never rushed me and was extremely caring and answered all of my questions professionally. He even called me the same night of my surgery to make sure I was feeling OK...and sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers too!!!!! A truly kind hearted doctor that goes out of his way to make his patients feel special.

Thanks so much! I am thrilled with the results. I'm so glad I was able to share my story here, the support means a lot to me.

You look awesome!! I am also so thrilled i'm done with the padded bra's and bathing suits. It's gonna feel good to go swimming and not have to wring out the heavy sponge-like padding tha stayed soaked. Not to mention how much better i feel about myself. I'm so happy for you :-)

Hello, Kooberry! Congratulations on your new look. You look absolutely amazing. I've been doing tons of research as I'm considering breast augmentation. I'm a 34 B and am thinking 34 D. I'm 5" 2 and fluctuate between 110-115. I would honestly get the surgery done tomorrow, but I'm torn about what co-workers, family, friends will say. When you returned to your normal activities, how did you handle the looks, comments, etc? I know that shouldn't hold me back from doing what I want, but, unfortunately, it has so far. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Thanks diva! I understand what you mean about being worried. I also was nervous about how my co-workers and friends/family would react. I actually found a PS who specialized in giving the most "natural" results, so not many people have actually noticed I had anything done!! lol I did not want the plastic,fake "Pamela Anderson Baywatch" look. Honestly,it's only noticable I have bigger breasts in a bathing suit....in clothes it's not obvious. I suggest you see several different doctors before going through with it. My PS was board certified, which means he specializes in BA and also he had dozens of great reviews from patients so I had confidence he was the right one for me. I hope you have confidence to make the right decision, just follow your heart and you'll be fine;) Good luck!

Love your look Kooberry!!! They look so natural! Still waiting for mine to drop but so happy I made the decision. When do you think yours finally were done dropping?

I am currently 4 months post op and feel great! My breasts are no longer sore, they feel soft and are dropping and fluffing nicely. This whole experience has been life changing for me. I used to be SO insecure and hated the way I looked. Now I have confidence when wearing a bikini......IT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING!!!! No more padded bras for me. I suggest every woman unhappy with their breast size take the plunge and do it, but only after extensive research. Dr. E chose moderate profile Allergan silicone implants for me. I definitely made the right decision choosing him as my surgeon. THE RESULTS ARE SOOOO NATURAL! I did not want to look like a plastic,fake barbie doll. He explained to me that in most cases, larger,high profile implants tend to create complications later down the road. He also informed me that 1 in 4 woman will need a revision after surgery due to double bubble,capsular contraction,excessive tissue stretching,etc. But his revision rates are much lower than the norm.due to his technique. The dual plane method does not stretch breast tissue to extremes. He took precise measurements before surgery and assured me he creates the most natural results. He is a wonderful doctor and I could not be happier! Good luck to all ladies considering surgery.

I just read your review and saw that you had the dual plane/rapid recovery technique, which is what I had. I TOTALLY recommend that for ANYONE getting a BA! I mean, wehy suffer if you dont have to?? I didnt need any pain killers either. I didnt even need Tylenol either, but I had both just in case.
I dont know that it works or if it works if someone is getting a lift too, but for a straight BA, thats the way to go!! =)
That's SO cool we both had similar procedures done. I recommend it for anyone considering a BA too!!! I am still AMAZED at how easy recovery was, I only took ibuprofen for 2 days and even went out to dinner a few hours after surgery! When I read other stories about the excruciating pain some women have experienced, my heart goes out to them.
