A little more detail....

I was asked to provide a bit more detail about my experience awhile back, so I'm doing that now!
I have always felt that my body was lacking up top and as a result I was constantly wearing padded bras and swim suits to hide that fact. Ever since I was a child I can remember dreaming about the breasts I'd have one day. I used to put water balloons in my shirt! Unfortunately I want blessed in that area. I have been saying that I'd get implants for years, but was never that serious. On a whim I decided to get a consultation because I figured it was harmless! After meeting Dr. Gabriel and seeing what I could have with his simulating machine, I was suddenly very serious about doing it. ( I'll post the picture I took of the simulator showing me with my potential implants with this post) Dr. Gabriel made me feel perfectly comfortable doing something that felt very foreign to me. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this guy is!
After my surgery I slept pretty much non stop for four or five days as the pain meds knocked me out. Dr. Gabriel called me a couple of times to check on me in the following days. I felt uncomfortable for sure and I felt like my breasts were way bigger than I wanted and looked weird and lop sided. They felt weirdly hard and my nipples were crazy sensitive. I wouldn't let my husband anywhere near them for almost a month.
Being about6-7 months past my surgery date, I don't regret a thing! My breasts look infinitely better and more natural. They jiggle just the right amount and they look so natural that no one has any idea that I have implants. They don't hurt, my nipples returned to their original sensitivity and I finally let my husband have access!
My only wish is that I had gotten them slightly bigger. I highly recommend the Natrelle implants for a much more natural look. I didn't want to look like I had two perfectly round melons on my chest and I don't! Anyone in the Vancouver area, or anyone who can get there needs to go to Dr. Gabriel!

Six months later!

Because my breasts were naturally different sized, my implants were different sizes. At first they didn't look quite right, but after all the swelling went down, I think they look great! I feel comfortable with them and haven't regretted anything for a second!

I've always felt like my bust size was too small...

I've always felt like my bust size was too small for the rest of my frame, and I've said I was going to get breast augmentation for years. I finally got serious, had an excellent consultation, and made it happen. Everyone inn Dr. Gabriel's office was spectacular! Jamie did the majority of my consultation and provided excellent advice and information. She put to rest any doubts I had about having the surgery. I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience.
