i had my initial consultation on september 14 with Dr. Raskin and it was amazing. everyone is super friendly and everything was explained so well that i was left with no doubts about the procedure. they all took their time to answer questions i had. i went with 485cc left breast and right breast is 510cc over the muscle. silicone round. i have been wanting to get my boobs done for the past 5 years, im super exited the time came and finally got them done!! my pain level right after surgery i would have to say was maybe a 2. and through the day it got better to maybe a 1 (of course keeping up with my pain medication) and as i read in many sites... every body is different and everyone heals and feels pain differently. im happy and can't wait to see the changes as the days, weeks, and months go by. also i was previously 36B in bra
I knew I wanted a boob job from the age of 13 when I knew mine weren't going to get bigger. I was a 32A. I was always very self conscious of my chest & lives in baggy clothes. I hated swimsuits or anything that I could wear a heavily padded bra with. I've done lots of research for the past 10 years & finally saved up enough to get the surgery. It won't very well! Although I'm only 1 day post op I am very happy with the outcome! I feel more confident & I am very excited to be able to wear the clothes I've always wanted to wear. I had a wonderful Dr. he was very kind, informative, & made me feel really comfortable. 10/10 for sure!
Dr. Raskin was always very considerate and tried to make sure I was comfortable even with my anxiety. He did amazing work and his recommendations for healing have had me returning to my running which I love in 6 weeks! I am thrilled with how they look and the size increase.
I had my consult with Dr. Raskin in Colorado Spings this week. I tried on different sizers from 330cc to 395cc for sientra gummy bear implants. I was initially disappointed 395cc was the maximum I can go but I trust Dr. Raskin and his experience doing breast augmentation. I selected 395cc gummy bear implants. My surgery is scheduled for March 31. I had spinal fusion to correct scoliosis and after that surgery I was left with major asymmetry in my breasts a year ago. I also had two pregnancies and breastfed both boys three months and lost volume in both breasts. I am definitely in need for an upgrade. I'm looking forward to my surgery. I'm currently a small 34 B. Updated on 18 Mar 2023: Here are pics I took at my pre-surgery consultation to get an idea of what my size will look like. I am getting under the muscle, 395cc Sientra gummy bear implants, high profile. In these pics, we placed the implant in a bra to get an idea of how it will look. For reference, I’m just 5’9” 135 lbs. currently I’m a small 34B. Updated on 1 Apr 2023: Today was the day! I went in at 10am and the surgery was about two hours. I woke up a little drowsy with no pain just a tightness around my chest. You can see I’m still covered in marker and iodine so it’s not a great pic. Once I can shower I’ll update again. So far I’m happy with my result. For reference, 5 Just under 5’9” athletic build, 136lbs, 395 sientra silicone under the muscle high profile. Updated on 1 Apr 2023: Side boob photos. I think they look great! The incisions are nicely placed in the crease. Even with them being tight and swollen, the have a beautiful teardrop shape. I think they fit my frame nicely. Again, for reference, I’m just under 5’9,” 137 lbs, athletic build, 395cc sientra gummy bear implants, under the muscle, high profile. Updated on 1 Apr 2023: Side boob photos.

I am absolutely in love with my results! I felt comfortable the whole time and I’m so happy I went with him. Recovery was smooth, I got off my pain meds by the second day, everything went perfectly! If you’re thinking about it: just do it! I’m 5’2, 125 lbs, started with a 32A (on a good day) & I’m now a 32C-D. I got 355 cc silicone under the muscle. The scars are already starting to fade and there’s no bumpiness! They are super squishy already and they jiggle! Post op pictures are at 4.5 weeks. I didn’t have a good before picture- sorry about that
I am obsessed with my results so far. Dr Raskin was amazing from the day I stepped into his office. Dr. Raskin and his staff made me feel so comfortable and welcome. They were nothing g short of amazing.
Amazing work!!!!!! Spent lots of time explaining everything to me & answering all my questions. Good price & excellent work!!!!! He gave me his home number just in case I needed anything & called me personally the day of surgery to check in on me. I had a breast augmentation & the surgery was smooth with minimal pain. Hands down the best surgeon in Colorado!
I Initially contacted Dr Raskins office the first week of December and was given my free consultation December 9th 2021! Dr Raskin and his staff are all very nice and respectful so I went with the first opening for surgery! My surgery was January 10th 2022 and I am super happy thus far! I went from a 36b no upper volume to a 36dd ! I selected 335 right and 355 left Silicone- Sientra Round with Moderate Plus Projection. They've dropped good amount so far and I couldn't be more happy.
Everything has been super smooth since day one at the consultation. Surgery was 2 days ago, my doctor has already checked in twice. Can’t wait to see how the results turn out as time goes by and the swelling goes away. Updated on 4 Aug 2021: Everything is settling nicely. The implant was put higher on the left side as that side was lower to begin with. It’s still in the process of dropping and matching up with the right side. The technique my surgeon used was able to give me a natural lift without any scars. Very happy so far Updated on 16 Sep 2021: Feels very natural. Almost like I was born with it. Still have some numbness to sensation on right boob. Will see if that comes back in time. Feels okay to sleep on my right side, slightly uncomfortable to sleep on my left. I feel a slight tinge of pain in the right boob when laying on my left side. Could be due to sensation coming back
I am now 2 months post-op from breast augmentation now and I definitely had a pleasant wonderful experience with Dr.Raskin and his team. He made me feel very comfortable and trustworthy of him and his work. He had the best communication and was very knowledgeable and was straightforward with me. He also had a lot of patience with me and answering all my questions I had. Hands down best doc in Colorado and office staff. Thank you so much I love you guys and I feel like you all were like family. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you so much.100
Greetings, I am sorry to hear that you have not had the outcome with your breast lifts and implants that you expected. Your follow-up consultation with your original plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns resulted in the suggestion that you have a revision. This is a reasonable option, if your expectations can be met with a second surgery. The scarring that occurs with lifts can often be improved with a touch up surgery. Also, a second opinion may give you peace of mind and help you to decide how to proceed. Best Regards,
Greetings, I am sorry to see that you have had wound healing issues and scarring with your breast lifts and implants. I would suggest that there is no substitute for an follow-up consultation with your original plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns. At that time, surgical options and risks may be discussed. Scarring can be revised. Absence of upper pole breast fullness might be improved with larger implant replacements and mastopexy revisions. Also, a second opinion may help you decide what may help you meet your expectations. Best Regards,
Greetings, The most important factor to be evaluated is the shape and position of your breasts prior to surgery. Were your nipple positions low pre-operatively? Your before pictures would be helpful. There is no substitute for an examination/consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns. At that time, surgical options and risks may be discussed. Also, a second opinion may help you decide what may help you meet your expectations. Best Regards,
Greetings, It may take a bit of investigating, but you should be able to locate a plastic surgeon who will do your surgery with sedation and local anesthesia. The Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons has a physician locator link which may help. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also has a physician locator link. You may have better luck by calling these societies on the telephone directly for referrals. Best Regards,
Greetings, Photos that demonstrate breasts which appear widely separated before surgery likely are a predictor of widely spaced breasts after implant placements. A wide sternum can be an area of very thin cover for implants. Lateral breast mound positions before surgery with nipple asymmetries will likely persist after augmentations. Essentially, you will likely have larger breast versions of what you started with. Best Regards,
