Della C. Bennett, MD

Dr. Bennett is truly amazing!
I went to a few other consultations before her, and I can genuinely say she is the best around. She is sweet, knowledgeable, and makes you feel comfortable. I was extremely nervous when I first had my consultation but she made me feel so comfortable that I wasn’t even nervous or scared the day of my surgery because I knew that I was in good hands. I’ve had the dreaded “Buffalo Hump” for about 12 years, and while there is obviously some swelling and bruising, I am in awe with my results! I can’t stop looking in the mirror :) no more hiding. 100% recommend Dr. Bennett and the staff at Gemini Plastic Surgery!

Day 5 post op:


Results are amazing and I’m feeling so much better every day. I figured that now that I’m out of the initial pain and recovery fog I’d give my experience on the procedure itself with Dr. Bennett.

When I came in for my initial consultation, Dr. Bennett was so sweet. We talked about what I wanted fixed and outcome I hoped for. She answered all my questions and explained everything in a very clear way. At my post op she went over instructions and answered any questions I had before the procedure. One of the best things that stands out when comparing Dr. Bennett to other plastic surgeons, is that she is extremely knowledgeable and has incredible bed side manner. She explains things in a way that makes sense to you and doesn’t make you feel confused. She’s very realistic with expectations and keeps everything real and honest with you. Another thing to note that I loved, was that at the initial consultation she told me she would listen to ME and hear what I WANTED. Sometimes, you walk into a plastic surgeons office and they instantly tell you all the work you need and you leave feeling worse than you came in. Dr. Bennett did not do that at all. I told her what I wanted, and she told me how we could achieve that. As previously noted, she made me feel extremely safe and comfortable and feel at ease.


The actually procedure itself was really a lot smoother than I could have imaged! The Spruce Surgery Center was clean and welcoming and the staff was so kind and helpful. I am day 5 post op and am feeling really good. The first 24-48 hours felt like I got into a fight and lost lol but I did not need to take anything other than ibuprofen for the first few days. I’ve been up and moving with a big smile on my face absolutely LOVING the results so far. I can’t wait to see the final outcome when the swelling has subsided, but even 5 days post op I am feeling AMAZING!

Last update- I’m at week 5 post op now, Buffalo hump swelling is 99% gone and looks amazing! I also got my bra rolls Lipo’d as well but swelling took a while to go down for this one, here is pre surgery, 1 day post op, and now 5 weeks out. Better results than I could have imagined!

I have always wanted larger breast. I started out small (A) and even after 4 babies my breast never gained any volume. I know breast don't necessarily make you feminine but feeling like I have a boys chest doesn't help. I had various consultations but Dr. Bennett was the one for me. She checked out all the boxes and more. The facility is clean staff is friendly, there is good energy in her office which I love.

A lot has changed with my breast since surgery. I had implants put under the muscle so a lot of tightness. Overall the first couple of days weren’t horrible or anything like that mainly uncomfortable from my chest. Only soreness I had was my chest area. Honestly I had prepared for worst case scenario and luckily the experience has been far from that. Although I should have T-rex arms as Dr. Bennett calls it for the first 2 weeks, I’ve had full range of motion in my arms since surgery. I still take it slow and avoiding pulling and pushing motions as it can feel uncomfortable. I am taking all the necessary precautions to speed up my recovery. I’ve been taking a lot of vitamins since before the surgery so I think that was greatly benefited me because I overall feel great. I still feel a little weird about my breast because they look funny to me lol. I know this isn’t the “finished product” so I try not to pay too much attention to how they look right now now.

Officially 2 weeks today! They have dropped but are still sitting high. I had a short IMF fold so I know it may take a little longer for them to drop and fluff. Extremely sensitive nipples!! I want to cry of how sensitive they are! I think the sensitivity of the nipples is just causing pain. Really hoping this stage passes soon because it honestly is not fun at all!! Other than that I think they’re looking nicer everyday. I feel almost back to normal. Still feels uncomfortable sometimes.

I had a breast augmentation 08/03 and while I was super nervous I was also super excited. I was knocked out quick and the worst thing was the IV. In the end im so happy I ended up doing it. The surgery itself is so easy, it’s just the recovery that’s hard. I’m 5’6, 105lbs and got 325cc soft touch implants. Currently a month post op and they feel so soft now. Plus, dr Bennett is a great doctor with great bedside manner. I had a good experience and love my new boobs. I was completely flat before and they look amazing now.

I have boobs again! I'm only 22, but my weight had gone up a few years ago (leading to ginormous boobs that I loved). But I have since lost weight and my breasts completely deflated and become saggier than I would like. Dr. Bennett was fantastic, and we decided on 240 cc mentor saline implants, overfilled to 275, placed under the muscle. For consultation and pre op appointments, Dr. Bennett was patient, present, and very helpful. I had my surgery this morning at 11, and after falling in and out of sleep for a few hours once I got back to the hotel. However, now I feel completely fine. There is definitely pressure and tightness and I have not been able to open any weighty doors, but I have been able to walk around outside, go to the bathroom by myself, dress myself, etc. etc. I was able to see them without the surgical bra, and I love them. Even though they're obviously way too high and square at the moment - they feel like the perfect size that will look perfect when they drop and fluff.

Day 2! Today went very smoothly. I’ve stopped taking the Percocet and am now only taking ibuprofen and tylonel for the pain. The pain itself is very bearable, more like soreness after a really intense workout. I’m able to walk places, but opening doors has been difficult. Visually, they are the same as yesterday.

Updated on 20 Oct 2022:
Officially 6 weeks out! I am in love with them. I've had pretty much no pain since the 1st week, and no other issues. They dropped quickly and look exactly how I wanted them to! They feel pretty natural to me as well. Post ops have gone great, Dr. Bennett still answers any questions I have. Scars are a very thin red line but I don't even see them due to their placement. I'm so happy I went with this size!!

I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Bennett and Gemini Plastic Surgery. I had a breast reduction with Dr. Bennett, going from a 34DDD to a 34C. I'm currently 10 weeks post-op and couldn't be happier with my results! She did a great job on the shape/placement of the areolas, as well as the shape and projection of the breasts, leaving me looking perfectly perky. I'm so excited to look in the mirror every day! Dr. Bennett has answered my nearly endless list of questions at every pre and post-op appointment, which you definitely want when you're going through a life-changing procedure! Plus her entire staff is amazing, and I always leave the office smiling.

The surgery itself was great; I felt comfortable and calm before the surgery and Dr. Bennett went over my desired results with me again before I went under. The nurses at the surgery center were great, and everyone took great care of me post-op!

I had the best experience with Dr. Bennett and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I've experienced nothing short of amazing communication, extreme kindness, and fantastic results during this process.

Hi there, RealSelf fam! I've been exploring this forum for many years and now I can finally share my experience! There aren't too many reviews of under 300cc breast augmentations so hopefully this review will help others in a similar situation as mine.
Prior to getting pregnant, I was a full D (birth control may have contributed to size). When I was breastfeeding, they swelled up to a G. Not exaggerating. A full G! After bearing and breastfeeding 2 babies, along with an intense P90X exercise regimen, my boobies shrunk down to an A, sometimes AA. Whatever is left is simply skin hanging off my chest.
I contemplated getting implants 4 years ago but decided to try other alternatives first. I went back on birth control, tried breast massage, eating certain foods, doing certain exercises, etc. But what's gone is gone. I went on 5 different consults over the years and I finally decided on having Dr. Della Bennett as my surgeon. She's closer in proximity to my home, has excellent bedside manner, is very competent, and does not have a god complex like so many other doctors I've interacted with. She did not push me to go larger and always made me feel at ease and confident with my decisions.
I had my pre-op appointment two weeks ago. I initially wanted to go with 265 /295 high profile but decided it looked a little too large on my frame so I decided on 240cc for the Left side and 265 for my right side due to asymmetry. This was not an easy decision to make. I constantly went back and forth between high or moderate, more ccs or less ccs. As of right now, 7 our post-op, I'm extremely pleased with the size. They look lot larger than I was anticipating, but definitely in a good way!
Surgery was performed today, 11/4/21. Went into operating room at 11:40 and was done around 1:00ish. I definitely woke up with an uncomfortable amount of pain - it mainly feels like pressure. My hubby drove me home and has been taking care of me all day, making sure I take my medications at the right time to prevent any breakthrough pain. I am able to walk around the house, feed myself, go to the bathroom myself. So far so good!! I'll try to update with pictures as I recover.

Updated on 5 Nov 2021:
I’m posting pictures of what my boobies looked like before kids and what they looked like during breast feeding and after.
I worked really hard on myself mentally and physically the past few years. I tried very hard to accept my boobs as they are. I personally would be okay with my small A cup but I’m so embarrassed by that shriveled skin look that you’ll see in the pictures here.

Updated on 5 Nov 2021:
I only took a couple pictures last night (day of surgery).

I’m taking my medications around the clock to prevent any breakthrough pain. It’s not necessarily pain- it’s more like pressure and stretching. Many women have described it as being extremely engorged with breast milk, which is actually a very appropriate description.

I’m sleeping on a wedge pillow at night and also use an airplane pillow to support my neck.
So far, I’m entirely ecstatic with my new boobies!!! I was afraid I was going too small with the ccs, but now I’m very happy I didn’t! I know when the swelling goes down they might seem a little smaller but not by too much.

As you’ll see in the pictures, they’re super high and boxy right now with my nipples pointing downward but I know this is normal and will eventually resolve itself.

Updated on 5 Nov 2021:
Pressure feeling is manageable with medication. I’m totally obsessed with my boobies right now!

Updated on 6 Nov 2021:
Halfway through Postop day 2 and things are getting easier! I haven’t had to take a Percocet all day. Currently only taking muscle relaxer and ibuprofen as needed. I stopped taking the Percocet last night because my scopolamine patch must have been wearing off and I was starting to get nauseated. The postoperative bloat is really real! I normally weigh 98-100lbs and last night I weighed 113lbs. I drank a lot of water and urinated often throughout the night and am feeling some relief today. I also had to have my hubby pick up a stool softener since I haven’t had a normal bowel movement since the day before my surgery.

I’ve been actively massaging my breasts often, hoping it’ll speed up the dropping process. I’ve also used a compression band although it does tend to become uncomfortable.

Still looking super frankenboobie and square but I can tell some of the swelling is reducing.

Updated on 8 Nov 2021:
POD 3: Wow! I woke up feeling much better than day 2. I slept on the wedge pillow but no airplane pillow this time. I think I slept better that way. I can get out of bed but it does take a minute. I think if you have a strong core it makes it easier to get in and out of bed since you have to engage those to avoid engaging your pectorals. I had more energy than day 2 - I was able to put my own breakfast together, although I learned that cutting fruit is much more difficult than you would think! I was a little overly ambitious thinking that MAYBE I could throw a load of laundry in the wash but I gave up and finally taught my hubby how to start the washing machine. (It’s been 12 years mister…… haha!) After my attempt at housework I decided that was silly and I should just plop myself on the couch. I took a muscle relaxer and 600mg ibuprofen, set my heating pad to the max, and sat back and binged watched a ton of shows I’ve been wanting to see. The heating pad really relaxed my back muscles and provided relief. My breasts weren’t painful- just sore and kind of achey. I massaged them often.
Later on I tried on some dresses that I’ve never been able to wear due to my tiny, flat boobies and OMG. This is what it’s like to have boobs?!!!? I cried a little. I was sooo happy! I showed my husband and he was excited for me too!
Also, side note, I started experiencing numbness and tingling down both of my arms, spreading to my palms and fingers. My doctor said this is normal and to be expected. She told me to roll my shoulders and squeeze my fists to reduce swelling.

POD 4: Last night I slept without the wedge, just flat on my back, which is normal for me. I took an ibuprofen before bed and woke up with very little pain! There’s still a tightness when I stand up but it’s definitely bearable. I was nervous about today because I had to drive and go back to work- and a 9 hour day at that! I noticed a dramatic improvement in my range of motion and functional capability today. I was able to pull a shirt over my head, pack and carry a small bag, drove 35 minutes to work, and endured 9 hours of sedentary work. Not bad! I didn’t take any narcotic pain killers, only 600mg ibuprofen every 8 hrs. Constipation from the Percocet this week was actually more uncomfortable today than the recovery from the surgery. I was very tired by the end of the day and couldn’t wait to take my compression bra off!!! The only thing I really needed help with today was taking my shirt off. Without my husband’s help, there’s no way I could’ve wriggled myself out of that shirt on my own.
I’m still slightly bloated and don’t feel entirely like myself. I’m excited for my tummy to feel back to normal soon!

There’s definitely less swelling in my breasts, though they’re still hard and square. I have started to notice them starting to drop slightly! The skin by my under boob is starting to soften up near the incision, allowing it to fold a little over the incision. They still look a little scary but it’s getting better every day!

It’s uncomfortable for me to post pictures of my boobs in their super square and funky state. I’ve noticed that certain angles are so much more flattering than others when taking photos. I’ll try to find the courage to share some of the less than flattering photos here. I think it’s important to see what the process realistically looks like.

Happy boobies to you all!

I went to VS today and I measured as a 32D. What?! I know it’ll keep changing as they drop and fluff but I was so excited to get measured for the fun of it! They’re a tiny bit softer every day and the swelling is definitely going down. My left side was naturally larger than my right, which we tried to fix by doing 265cc in the right , 240cc in the left. But as of now my left side is still looking significantly larger. It’s also a little more squarish in shape. The upper pole is very, very full. Fun, but much too full for my liking. I’m hoping this will become more subtle as the weeks go on. Pretty much all of my bloating is gone now and I’m feeling great! I may have overdone it a little yesterday with a 10hr day at work so I’m trying to take it easy the rest of the week.

Updated on 11 Nov 2021:
It’s only been 1 week but I’m already feeling sexier!!! I mean, I felt sexy with my body before, but, now?! What a difference!! I feel like I’ve reclaimed my femininity!
I think they look better without clothes for now. I’ve tried on a bunch of outfits but my boobs are still so high it just doesn’t look right. Maybe tomorrow I’ll take a picture of it and post. They’re definitely rounding out, though!! Which is a relief because they were looking like one of my daughters’ Roblox avatars! Lol!
I also took a picture from a different angle while lying down and I’m really happy with the way they’re looking from a top view!
I know I’m getting ahead of myself here but I spent all afternoon browsing lingerie websites and I’m soooooo excited to finally be able to wear outfits I never dreamed I could fit into!
I have my 1 week post op appointment tomorrow and I’m excited to hear what Dr. Bennett has to say about my recovery so far.
I hope everyone is healing well!

Updated on 12 Nov 2021:
I had the day off today and spent most of it shopping and trying on bras lol! I also had my first post-op appointment with Dr. Bennett. Seems everything is healing well. She instructed me on my massage technique since I wasn’t doing quite right. My implants are still sitting pretty high so I’ve really been trying to massage them down. She also suggested I use the compression band without a bra to help them drop.
Exciting news- she gave me the okay to go bra shopping! Pretty much all of my swelling is gone so although my breasts will change in shape, the cup volume most likely won’t change. Which means….32D here I come! I tried on a ton of bras at Victoria’s Secret and 32D is the perfect fit. It almost seemed custom made. I tried on allllll of the bras I’ve always wanted and never been able to fit into. I had so much fun!!!!!! Going to post some pics of my new bras! Woohoo!
Happy Friday!!!

Updated on 18 Nov 2021:
Woohoo! 2 week mark! I’ve been pretty active lately- did a pretty intense 6 mile hike the other day and I’m back to doing most housework, grocery shopping, etc. I have noticed I’m pretty sore at the end of the day. I wouldn’t say painful but my breasts feel heavy and tight after an active day. It’s hard for me to take it easy.
I’ve been massaging consistently and I think that’s definitely helping with the dropping process. My nipples are still kind of pointing downwards which I’m hoping will resolve itself soon. My nipples kind of cracked from the stretching so I’ve been putting bio-oil and lotion on them to keep them moisturized. I’ve retained all sensation so far. If anything, everything is more sensitive right now. Which I don’t mind. I don’t think the hubby minds either lol!
On a funny note, it’s been a challenge shaving my armpits! New boob problems. The indentation between my boob and my armpit makes it tricky getting a razor in there.
I wore a low cut dress the other day and that was a lot of fun! I felt like a new person. I wore a wireless VS bra but it seemed to rub a little on my incisions which made me pretty sore by the end of the night. I’m sticking to my sports bras most of the time because they’re much comfier.
It’s definitely a challenge holding off on my normal exercise routine. I just feel sluggish when I don’t get a good workout in. It makes me feel a little blue too. I’m also a little stressed because I have a 25 person Friendsgiving to prepare for this weekend and I think I bit off more than I can chew. Cutting vegetables and cooking requires a lot of arm movements. I’m not sure if I’m fully ready. We’ll see how it goes!

Updated on 29 Nov 2021:
So, I’m a little late with my 3 week update but there isn’t too much to report. (Also, I realized I labeled my most recent pictures incorrectly as 1 week post op when it should have said 2 weeks post op).
I removed my tape and got a look at my scars which was exciting and scary at the same time. I’m supposed to start putting silicone tape on them now but I’ve been so busy with the holidays I keep forgetting to order it. I should do that after this update.
I’m happy to report that I was able to cook up Friendsgiving dinner for about 30 people and I’m proud to say I handled that turkey like a mother! My hubby helped me set up and clean but besides that I was able to take care of business.
I still feel like my implants are sitting pretty high and though they are softening, it’s definitely a slow process. It seems some days they’re stiffer than other days. I wouldn’t say it ever hurts- they’re just stiff and hard. I massage often but I feel like they’re just not dropping and fluffing as quickly as I’d like. Maybe I’m just being impatient. I keep having to postpone my follow up appointment so I haven’t been able to ask the doctor any of my current questions. My right side is slightly higher than my left right now and I feel like the distance between the inframammary fold and the bottom of my areola is very short. I knew going into this that you somewhat retain your natural anatomical shape and that my breasts were asymmetrical, not just in size, but also in shape. However, I feel like now the asymmetry is somewhat exaggerated. Maybe that’s to be expected since they’re larger now. I don’t know….what do you ladies think?
I told most of my family this week about my new upgrade! The general response was that they’re happy I’m happy. I decided to tell most of the people close to me because I’d feel awkward trying to dance around the conversation. I showed my new boobies off quite a bit this week and it sure was fun! I found that even though they’re not quite where I want them to be yet, I’m still so happy with them and don’t mind them not being 100% perfect. (Though I’m patiently waiting for them to be!)
On a side note, I’ve been feeling kind of down due to lack of exercise. Top that off with 5 thanksgiving dinners and my love for cakes and pies… it’s been difficult not exercising the way I’d like. I finally gave in yesterday and just did a full blown workout. I didn’t do any pushups or pull-ups but I did do a few sprawls and planks. Which maybe was too much. I just couldn’t handle not doing it anymore. I’m slightly sore today and kind of stiff but nothing major. I’ve found that putting a heating pad across my chest relaxes the muscle and makes it easier to massage. My next appointment is on 12/10 so I’m looking forward to speaking with Dr. Bennett then!
Happy healing and boobies to all you lovely ladies out there!

Updated on 8 Dec 2021:
Hi Ladies! I hope your recoveries are going well! Here’s a quick update on weeks 4 and 5. I celebrated my 31st birthday last week with ma new boooobs. So much fun! I’m feeling much more comfortable with them and I’m definitely not afraid to show them off!
I had my period last week and I was interested to see how my breasts would be affected. I definitely felt like my breasts were tighter and stiffer than they had been the week prior, but now that my period is over, they’re significantly softer. My nipples were also more sensitive, which is normal for me around that time of the month.
This week I’ve felt a huge improvement in softness and range of motion. I did my normal, P90X MMX workout and if you know what that is, you know it’s no joke. I do have to modify certain movements when I feel the muscle straining too much but for the most part, I felt like I got a great workout in! Which is necessary because I’ve been gaining weight since the surgery. Nothing too crazy and I know I’m already on the thin side, but it just doesn’t feel good to not feel entirely like myself.
My left implant is dropping faster than my right, which I figured would happen since that’s always been my larger side. I am slightly concerned about the shape of my left breast. It’s kind of an angular shape? Not entirely round? I see my doctor on Friday so I’ll talk to her then and see what she says.
Also… I have gotten boob greed, which I never thought would happen. I think I’ve adjusted to the initial shock factor and they seem on the smaller side to me but they’re really a decent size for my frame. I’ve noticed pictures make them look smaller than they are in real life.
I sometimes wonder if I would have been happier with the moderate profile instead of high profile? I think moderate may have been a little more natural but then I wouldn’t have the upper pole (which I like waaaay more than I was expecting) so…. Still not entirely sure what the best decision would have been. I’m not really one to fret about this kind of stuff too much. None of my concerns are major enough for me to even start to consider having a revision. I’m happy, hubby is happy (and he’s the only one about to see the dirty details and I don’t think he’s observing them as in depth as I am).
I’ll post an update if there’s anything to report after my appt on Friday.
Happy Boobies to you all!

Updated on 15 Mar 2022:
Holy cow! It’s been 4 months already?! How the time flies. I browsed this site for so long before getting my surgery and was so frustrated with posts that never went past a 6 week update. Now I’m one of those people lol!
I’d say around week 6 I was feeling pretty much back to my normal self. I’ve been able to get back into my normal exercise routine minus Pull-ups/push-ups, etc. I’d feel an occasional tightness in my right side but that’s subsided for the most part.
The last time I posted, my left side was dropping faster than my right, however now my right side is nice and fluffy and my left is being stubborn. My left side is not fully dropping into the pocket and I have what my doctor referred to as a “flattened” scar. It gives my breast somewhat of an angular shape. It’s more noticeable when I’m cold or when I’ve just worked out. I was told to continue massaging the scar with an out and downward motion to try and get the implant to settle into that pocket. Maybe the massage is helping but it’s still pretty noticeable. She said she can do a minor repair if it hasn’t settled into place at the 6 month mark. I’m not sure if I’ll go through with that or not since it’s really only noticeable when I’m naked. Besides, 6 months takes me right into the summer and I don’t want the down time. I want to show my boobies off all summer long! What do you ladies think? Would it be worth having to have another procedure albeit minor, to fix this flattened scar?
At 4 months and some change now, I’ve had some time to reflect on size choice, etc. I think if I were to do it all over again, I’d go with slightly more ccs and a moderate profile. Maybe like around 300/350 ccs. I’m pretty happy with my current size but going slightly larger wouldn’t have been a bad thing. I find the moderate profile more natural. My HPs are pretty darn perky and they’re obviously implants in certain types of bathing suits. That being said, most people are surprised when I tell them I got implants since the current size is pretty natural looking on my frame (at least I like to think so). I can still fit into all of my clothes, I just fill out the tops the way I should! Sometimes I think if I had gotten moderate profile I would have more cleavage than I do right now. All the doctors I had consultations with had told me I have a wide gap between my breasts and that anatomically it would be difficult to create cleavage. Some bras give me more cleavage but it’s kind of a stretch pushing them together enough if that makes any sense.
I was going through a bunch of pictures and I found that something dramatic happens between month 3 and 4. My breasts are noticeably softer and have dropped quite a bit compared to last month. They really feel like a part of my body now and no longer feel foreign. Although they’re softer, they’re still pretty firm…I’m hoping they’ll soften up more within the next few months. As much as we hate to hear it, it really does take MONTHS to see the final result. They change dramatically but very slowly. I’ve also noticed that I have “good boob” days and “bad boob” days. Colder weather contracts the muscles more, making my implants feel and look firmer. Warmer weather makes everything look and feel more natural.
So…are my boobies perfect? No. Are they exactly how I imagined they’d be? No. Do I love them? Yes. I’m able to wear all the shirts, dresses, and bathing suits I want. The woman I am on the inside now matches the woman I am on the outside! I’ve experienced an incredible boost in confidence- from running errands at the grocery store, dressing up and going out with my girlfriends, to being in bed with my hubby. Just as many other real self ladies have expressed, my only regret is not doing it sooner!
Someone remind me to post an update if I haven’t already by month 6 lol!

I forgot to post some other pics

Updated on 24 Jun 2022:
Over 7 months have passed and I am overjoyed with my boobies. I mean, seriously, it was the best decision. Ever. They’re continuing to soften up although it’s a very slow process. I marvel at them every day but I’m also so used to them now that I forget they weren’t there before. I had a 6 month checkup and Dr. Bennett gave me an anti-inflammatory injection into the scar on my right breast since it was slightly raised. (I can’t remember exactly what it was named). But ever since, the scar has softened up and improved quite a bit.
I’m taking the opportunity this summer to wear all the halters and tube tops and low back dresses I was never able to wear before and I’m having the time of my life doing so! In the beginning I was more self conscious about my breasts looking “fake” but now I just love them so much, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks of them.
I live most of my days in comfy sports bras (Lululemon ‘like a cloud longline’ bra is my absolute favorite!) although there’s been quite a few times I just slapped a pair of pasties on and called it a day. (Or sometimes not even pasties and then it’s just nip tips all day hahaha) I will occasionally wear a push-up bra and then I really feel va-va-voom! I’ve found that when I’m measured for a bra I measure between 32D/DD but when I actually try the bras on I’m more of a 32C. It just depends on the bra. For non-cup sizes a medium fits pretty well but im still able to squeeze into my old XS bras. It sort of just depends on the bra and how much support it has.
This may sound like a horrible thing to say but there were times in the past when I really felt resentment towards having children because of what happened to my breasts as a result. It’s funny how birthing and breastfeeding a child is one of the greatest gifts of being a woman and yet at the same time it can rob you of what makes you genuinely FEEL and LOOK like the amazing woman you believe yourself to be. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone. It’s just how I personally processed the experience. I had days when I would stand in front of the mirror and forced myself to look at my breasts and tried to love them for what they were. I thanked them for producing the nutrients my babies needed. I bought the prettiest little bralettes I could find and did my best to accept them. Could I have made it through life without implants? Sure, I think so. But now, after having implants, would I go back to my shriveled skin sacks ????? NO WAY! Lol! I’m so much happier with my body and have so much more confidence- it has improved many of my relationships- including between my children and me. Maybe that sounds strange but I’ll take it! My hubby loves that I have my old confidence back and I’m not always trying to hide myself. Deciding to get a breast augmentation is not solely limited to the physical aspect of it all. It’s so much more than that. Overall, I’m very pleased with my decision and would do it all over again!

I wanted to say that Dr. Bennett is a very caring doctor, and she goes above and beyond taking care of the patient. I highly recommend her. The staff is caring also and very pleasant to interact with and make you feel comfortable. I will be back here for more services.

Had my tummy tuck yesterday and it already looks amazing!, Dr. Della Bennett exceeded my expectations! I am 5'2" , 127 lbs. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett! I have minimal pain, I'm able to walk around and since Dr. Bennett prescribes an anti nausea patch I had no nausea after the anesthesia as has happened to me before. She also gives an injection that numbs the surgical site that lasts a days so thats probably why I can still walk around.Dr. Bennett is awesome!

I didn’t post a pic since there is no change from the 1 day after surgery pic I posted.
I did start to have alot of pain day 2 and day 3, however I was able to alleviate that pain when it would come on by just adjusting my pain meds accordingly and then I was able to still get out bed and walk to the bathroom on my own.

It was my consultation with Dr. Della that gave me the confidence to go through with my long time goal of getting a breast augmentation. Her staff is so attentive and they provide the best customer service I have ever experienced. That was just another added touch that made me feel comfortable and well assured that I was in good hands. All my pre-op appointments went great. I always had a ton of questions and Dr. Bennett answered all every single one. That made me more educated on my procedure and all that comes with cosmetic surgery. In regards to the breast size and profile. Dr. Bennett was very honest with what would look natural and fit great with my body frame. I appreciated her honesty because previous doctors that I had gone with where not considerate of what I wanted to accomplish. Other doctors would give me what they thought I should do and not with what I wanted. Dr. Bennett gave me her personal number weeks before the surgery so that I can contact her with any questions or concerns which I found so comforting because I still had a lot of questions. The day before my surgery day, I procrastinated on purchasing my antibiotic soap and ended up going the night before. I had remembered Dr. Bennett giving a list of recommended soaps and of course I forgot them. But I was easily able to reach Dr. Bennett by text and get what I needed. surgery day I felt a little anxious but I was excited and felt safe with Dr. Bennett, the anesthesiologist and the nurses. I had a safe surgery. After a week of rest I was able to return to work with restrictions, but I managed. I just completed my one year anniversary of my surgery date and I have had a safe recovery. I am so thankful to Dr. Bennett, and to all of your team/staff. Cosmetic surgery can be risky and life threatening but she is a great surgeon and a wonderful person. Thank you for everything. If you are looking for a good surgeon I definitely recommend Dr. Bennett she is located in the IE. Dr. Bennett and her staff will provide great customer service and take great care of you.

Dr. Bennett is simply amazing. Trust me when I say that I have received soooo many compliments on my augmentation. I couldn’t imagine having any better results. She is pretty amazing. And about her staff .... also AMAZING. I love going in for my checkups. BTW ... I also have my injectables done here. Equally amazing results. ;-) Don’t bother looking any further for a provider ... just call & make an appointment here!
