For years I wanted to have BA, but for whatever reason always put it on the back burner... Couldn't afford it, scared,, etc. Finally decided at 39, I was just doing it! Did a lot of research online and talked with several friends that had already had it to find a good surgeon. Decided on Dr. Gruenwald, and had to act fast because he is set to retire 2/15. So glad I made the choice of going through with it and choosing my doctor, very pleased with my experience.
I have been contemplating a BR for about 17 years and just recently mustered up enough courage to schedule consultations. It seems every year my breast cup jumps up a letter. As with all large breasted women, I suffer from back, shoulder, and neck pain, and I have a hump on the back of my neck, which I had no idea was related until I began reading other's experiences on this site. Unfortunately, my health insurance doesn't cover the procedure so I'm paying completely out of pocket.
I started on my journey 1 1/2 years ago to finally get back to ME!!!! I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls. After my last pregnancy I weighed in at 323 lbs with me putting on over 100 lbs during that pregnancy. After having her I developed post partum cardiomyopathy due to the excessive weight gain. I was re-admitted to the hospital when she was 3 days old due to complications with my heart because of the excessive weight gain. Cardiologist came in and straight up told me told to
I have been small chested my whole life. I am a 34A and have thought about going bigger since I was a teenager. I'm 35 years old now and think I'm ready for this!!! I've seen one plastic surgeon already but didn't feel he was a good fit for me. I found him due to me seeing a girl at work with nice boobs and I asked her where she got them done. When I met with him, he answered all my questions but something just didn't feel right. He didn't have sizers for me to try on and didn't

Great Experience - Baton Rouge, LA
I'm so glad I chose to have this procedure! The technique used for me was above the muscle but under the fascia using a silicone implant. The results couldn't be better. I had less pain than expected and it was an easy process. One of the best decisions that I have made for myself! Nice office setting for consultation and follow ups. Surgery center was on time and very accomodating.
Amazing doctor, very happy with the outcome, took pain meds first week not too much pain on day 7 When I woke up from my procedure I felt pain in my arms it was immediately relieved by my nurse with more meds it was like I blinked and it was over Very tight and uncomfortable the first couple of days but they started to look so amazing by day 3 it didn't even matter Any questions feel free to ask! Updated on 5 Sep 2013: Tightness has subsided had a lot of redness the past three

Best 5K I Ever Spent - Baton Rouge, LA
I was tired of being out of proportion and not being able to find clothes that fit and looked good on me.
I have had 400cc saline implants for about 12 years, with a slow leak in my right one for about 5 years. Recently, the leaking one completely ruptured and I had a couple of consults, eventually deciding to go with Dr. Gruenwald in Baton Rouge, LA. I knew I wanted to have my implants replaced with high profile silicone, as my salines rippled badly and always felt like water balloons sloshing around on my chest. I also wanted to go a little larger, but didn't want to look like
