- 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.

For those of you who took time to read and post on my review, thank you, thank you, thank you. After much consideration and years of wanting a BA I've decided to walk away...for this reason:
Please note: This is my opinion and have nothing negative to say about those who take the plunge...I feel my decision is what's best for me...
Here goes:
I am small breasted...I knew in high school I was going to remain that way...years go by and longing for what an ideal woman should be in the chest area always made me long to change the appearance of my body...until recently. I've been going through all the motions to get to surgery and then like a light bulb...I started questioning the long term effect of breast implants...sure I'm in my early 40's - and if I'm one of the lucky ones who gets the implant to behave for 20 years...do I want to have them removed in my 60's? Or even 50's? Insurance doesn't pay for any complications that come from mishaps, nor will it cover to replaced a new set...do I want to pay another $6,000 and go through the emotional roller coaster just to have breasts on the temporary level? Not knowing when and if they will cause any harm to my body? And if they have to be removed...what does it do to the look of the breast area? I started reading about the longevity of implants and without a doubt they have to be replaced or removed seeing they are man-made...and foreign to the body...Plastic surgery has come a long way...and kudos to those who march forward...I was so excited about having breasts...but am grateful to finally say I will accept my body for what it is...and not gamble on changing what God blessed me with...I've included a blurb below from a website called the "Plastic Surgery Portal" which helped me close the door on wanting this procedure. Don't get me wrong, I'm sad...Loved the idea of having beautiful perky breasts...but I love the idea of not worrying about when I will need to replace/fix something that isn't natural to my body. This isn't a post to scare anyone out of doing what they want - this is a post to say...I'm ok with being me. I'll use the money and do some travel with my husband of 24 years who loves and adores me and my body and I'm blessed knowing I'm making a decision that's best for Me. Be well and best of happy healing and making a decision to best suit your needs...See blurb from website below:
The Average Lifetime of Breast Implants
Ideally, breast implants would last forever. Unfortunately, that’s simply not the case because implants are manmade devices that eventually deteriorate to a point where they are no longer safe for the body. Some implants will indeed last a lifetime whereas others will need replacement in as little as five years. The average breast implants last between ten and twenty-five years. Since there’s no way to predict how long implants will last, the best way to keep track of them is to see your plastic surgeon on a yearly basis to make sure they are properly functioning.

Picking a size...not too Big...not too Small?
Ok...let's keep this simple...my doctor suggested 300 cc silicone under, and I like 325 and 350 cc - the nurse said it would be fine either way...I don't want to be too big...or small. A happy medium. I have small frame and breast tissue and am in limbo! I think they will do the 350 cc and 325 cc at surgery and see what is best...and I'm ok with that. Any suggestions?
How to take the "Plunge" could use some courage-Advice?
I've seen my plastic surgeon three times wanting to have all my questions answered. I'm struggling to take the plunge and finally do this...could use some encouragement.
I'm 41 - 128 pounds and a small A cup. I'm struggling with:
A. Spending this amount of money!
B. Picking the best size...thinking 325cc under the muscle...
C. Am I being vain, should I just deal with my small chest and get over it?
D. When it's all said and done...not regretting this decision...I know it's my decision and only I can make it...I want to feel womanly in clothes and naked...
E. Moving on after it's all said and done and feeling like myself...I want the implants to feel like me.
Everyday I go over and over this...I've made my appointment to do my physical and scheduled the surgery for September 20 and don't want fear to talk me out of it...how do you finally decide?
This site has been amazing and can't thank those who share enough! So thank you.

So far so good. The ladies in the office are the sweetest. Dr. Zucker is all business. Well educated and gives 100% attention. I've only done my consult, but am happy to be in his care.
