Dr. Struck was recommended to me by a friend, who also had a BA. I loved how hers looked and decided to schedule a consultation with his office. Trish was very helpful over the phone and scheduled me in as soon as possible. When I arrived, Karen was at the front desk and very sweet and welcoming. Dr. Struck was very attentive and answered all of my questions and reassured all of my concerns. I scheduled my BA for this coming Thursday and I am so nervous, but extremely excited! I am a 13 bwd and currently a deflated 32A. (I breastfed my son for over 2 yrs.) My ideal look is for a Full C. I brought along some wish photos and showed them to Dr. Struck. He recommended that I go with 450cc- 475cc due to my width and to achieve the look in my wish photo. He said that since I breastfed, I had enough extra skin and tissue to fill in nicely. I have no hips and a very small butt, so I told him I did not want to look top heavy or loppy. He reassured me that I wouldn't and that I will look great. I will post an update post op.

@bz1992 It's going great! I'm about 7months PO, and they've settled and are starting to bounce and jiggle more. My main thing was I didn't want them to feel too hard... and luckily they're softening up as time passes. It still is uncomfortable for me to lay on my stomach for long periods of time (like when I get massages). Good luck :)

Yes, I was also worried about capsulae contracture and any other complications such as sagging and bottoming out down the road. Our Doctor is More on the conservative side which is good for safety, wh oh ultimately was my priority. I had them placed under the muscle and the cut is very small.
She will tell you there is virtually no bleeding going that route. I cannot wait to
Hear about hour results. Keep me posted
And if you have any questions, ask away.

Dr. Struck has been amazing throughout this entire process! I had my BA done on Thursday Jan. 21st, and Trish, his office assistant, was able to schedule me for an early early morning appt. so it worked out with my schedule. I got nervous when I was sitting in the OR prep, and Dr. Struck had came in and spoke to me and reassured me everything was going to go great. Chi, the OR nurse, and Dr. Chang, my anesthesiologist, were so sweet! Dr. Struck even texted me the same night to make sure I was recovering ok. I did get the normal bruising on my sides from the surgery. Dr. Struck gave me 450cc on my left breast and 475cc on my right breast. I went with the axillary incision and got the HP Silicone Gel. I felt pretty nauseous after the surgery and it was hard for me to find my appetite, so at my appt. the next day after surgery, Karen, at the office, gave me a shot to help with the nausea and it worked immediately! Everyone on Dr. Struck's team has been incredibly helpful and so reassuring. I've already recommended him to a few of my fellow Mommy friends.

11 days post op
Today is my 11th day post op. I am back to work in the office today. I went in for my check in with Dr. Struck on Saturday (9 days post op), and he said I was healing great and instructed me to start massaging and being more active. He also gave me the OK to start wearing any bra. I was so excited I went straight to VS. I informed the VS rep that I had a BA, and luckily for me she was familiar with the process. She measured me at 32D, but said that when I do completely drop and fluff, I'll fit a 32DD. I've started stretching my arms out more, and above my head so that I can heal faster in my incision site. The only thing I am not excited about is sleeping, since I am still in my first few weeks pre op, I am back-sleeping. I will usually wake up with the worst 'morning boob' pain, so I'm anxiously awaiting the next following weeks where that will no longer happen.
Hope your surgery went well. Feel free to join the January 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some post op support. Looking forward to your updates!
