So, I had intended to review my experience with Breast Augmentation earlier but was motivated to complete my review when I was made aware of the “review 500” drawing
I had never been put to sleep for any procedure ever in my 48 years of life prior to this experience. I was very anxious about having surgery but breast augmentation was very important to me so I took a leap of faith and trusted Dr. G along with his staff at the surgery center of Reflections’s medical spa in Cartersville, GA The surgery was a breeze and I had a positive outlook about what the future would look like for me and my enhanced look. I say it’s a process because these “ gummy bear “ implants took their sweet time to descend into place. Hours of massaging and scar ointment and just about 24 hour sports bras and limited ability to exercise in the way I was accustomed was not enjoyable. I stayed motivated with the encouragement of Dr. G and the gradual coming to their own ( my new beautiful breasts) I struggled with the slower dropping of my right implant and being diagnosed with capsular contracture. That was scary and disheartening as I am healthy and had a very very low risk of getting contracture. Dr. G kept me positive and encouraged. I am 6 months post augmentation. I take singulair daily along with vitamin E and milk thistle. I massage regularly and I have purchased Celluma light therapy which I do at home daily under the guidance of Dr. G I have had success and I am more and more excited about my new breasts and the way I feel about myself. I would recommend Dr G with 100% confidence to everyone. I could not have dreamed up a better team ! The process continues but progress is being made. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

So I've been using the light therapy along with the vitamin E, Milk Thistle, and Singulair for 6 weeks. I have made slightly more progress resolving the capsular contracture that I am experiencing in my right breast. Dr. G continues to encourage me. I feel that if nothing improves from this point forward, I still would not change a thing. I am quite happy with my breast augmentation and would very confidently recommend Dr. G and the team at Reflections. Dr. G recommends that I continue with my supplements, medicine, and light therapy for 2 more months. I will then see him again for a follow-up visit. I am very optimistic as the process continues.

9 Months Post Augmentation now. Whew it has been a journey. Super pleased with the results and the staff at Reflections. I have completed my light therapy finally. Today was my last post check up with Dr. G. He continues to be very encouraging. I will continue with the Vitamin E and milk thistle probably for ever more. The contracture in my right breast is barely visible. The ladies are looking quite fabulous and as I stated before, I would definitely have this procedure again and feel very comfortable referring Dr. G and his team for any cosmetic surgery. I plan to follow his recommendations going forward ( i.e. wearing good supportive bras even at night, massaging and not focusing workouts on the chest muscles) Hoping to love my new look daily as i progress in age ( gravity will always win I am told :)) and will always chose Dr. G for any further cosmetic treatment. Wonderful experience and titled in my initial post : It is a process

I cannot believe it has been almost a year! I am so thrilled with my new look. I absolutely love my new breasts. I recommend the procedure and believe that making this investment in one's self ( if you have been on the fence) is essential to overall wellbeing. The uplift in self esteem alone is valuable. Finding the right surgeon is critical and I believe I have found the perfect Dr. at Reflections Med Spa in Cartersville, GA. I have been enjoying shopping for new clothes that show off this new beautiful cleavage . Scaring is barely visible. My breasts are feeling very natural and they have come into their own . I would do this again and again. Completely thrilled !
