I have been contemplating a BA for many years to...

I have been contemplating a BA for many years to correct my asymmetric, mildly tuberous breasts. Consulted with my PS over a year ago, had to postpone surgery and now I am finally ready! Had my presurgical/final consult last week. Surgical date is this Thursday. Since I scheduled my surgery I have been more excited and confident than I thought I would be. Decided on 400/375cc Mentor Moderate + Profile silicone implants to be placed subglandular position due to the shape of my breast. I started thinking 300/325, but after much consideration and looking at pics on RealSelf and reading reviews decided on slightly larger implants. My PS and her assistant were extremely helpful in my final size decision. I trust their opinions and it was helpful getting additional insight. I cannot wait, I am extremely optimistic and look forward to my new, improved figure.

So Happy!

I had my BA today and I am thrilled with my post surgical breasts. I know it's early, but they are symmetrical, round and I now have volume in the upper pole area. I have some soreness, but have been moving around and controlling pain with meds. Most pain is at the incision sites(inframammary) and sternum. Other than that, I am so happy I made this decision. Loving my new figure!

40 Something, Love my New Breasts!

I am a 40 something, 5'4" curvy built woman with asymmetry and mildly tuberous breasts. From the moment I met Dr. Ekstrom I knew she would be the perfect PS for me. She is lovely. Incredible track record (has performed close to 2000 BA in her lengthy career) and came highly recommended by both my Internal Medicine and ObGyn. She is meticulous, realistic and results driven. Due to my more complicated case, she wanted to make sure I had realistic expectations which I truly appreciated. I selected 375/350cc Mentor Mod Plus profile silicone implants to be placed subglandularly with an inframmary incision. I had my BA yesterday and although it is very early, I am thrilled with my results. I have minimal post surgical pain, and my wish for balanced, symmetrical breasts with improved upper pole fullness have come true. She is not only an experienced, gifted surgeon, but an artist as well. Her assistant Kristen has been amazing from day one. Her patience with my hundreds of questions and assistance in selecting the perfect size were invaluable. I would highly recommend Dr. Ekstrom and her staff if you are considering BA or any other procedures.mshe has gained a loyal client for life.

Dr. Ekstrom will be performing my BA. She has been fabulous from day 1. I was referred by both my Internal Medicine and ObGyn, she has an outstanding reputation in the Worcester medical community. I have the utmost confidence based on looking at her previous pts pics, reviews, experience, reputation and ultimately, consulting with her. She has a wonderful bedside manner, patience ( answering countless questions) and has given me a balanced, realistic surgical expectation based on my particular situation and my personal surgical goals. I love that although I might need a lift, she recommended trying just the BA first and then waiting 6 mos - 1 year to see the result before making that decision. Clearly, she could have said sure lets do it all. I love her conservative approach. To me this is the hallmark of a surgeon who truly cares about her pts and not just making $. I am thrilled and am confident in a wonderful surgical result. To be continued......
