Very Natural - Austin, TX

I am presently 40 years old with two children and four years post breast augmentation. Like most mothers, I breastfeed, gained and lost weight throughout my postpartum years, and ended up with breasts that made me feel uncomfortable wearing a bra and very insecure. My left breast was a cup size smaller than my right breast after losing some weight and I was so uncomfortable in everything I wore. My goal was to restore the look I had prior to having children while maintaining the natural shape and size I once had. Dr. Maggi was so patient and thorough pre-operatively to ensure that we agreed on the outcome. We spent hours discussing size and shape differences to make certain I got exactly what I wanted. He suggested that we use two different sized implants to equal out both sides, which I didn’t know was an option. When I was looking at having breast surgery, I didn’t understand that surgery is such an art form and how it is done creates the look. Dr. Maggi perfected what I wanted and I have a soft teardrop shape that looks exactly like I did prior to having children. If you saw me uncovered, you probably wouldn’t know that I have implants, which is what I wanted. The reason I felt most comfortable with Dr. Maggi was his pre and post-operative care. As a dietitian, I appreciated that Dr. Maggi cared about providing supplements for healing, included multiple visits to ensure healing was going well and had an extra touch of care with every personal visit. I have to search for my scars because they are so hidden and this is truly because of the care I received after the surgery. Dr. Maggi is a perfectionist with his work and honestly cares about you and your results. In addition, his staff is incredibly well trained, experienced and caring! I highly recommend Dr. Maggi for his knowledge, experience and artistic ability!

I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my breast surgery. Prior to pregnancy I had always been perfectly proportioned with a little more than a "handful. Like most mothers, I noticed sagging and smaller breast tissue post breast feeding. I still felt confident in my body and did not want to get breast surgery due to the "fake" look I have seen on so many. Recently, I lost a little weight, but noticed a significant size change in one breast that really bothered me. They discussed what I wanted the outcome to be and put me at ease since I was nervous about having my breasts too big, too round, or too fake looking. More than anything, I was petrified that a cosmetic surgeon had a very different perspective of what too big, too round, and fake meant. Honestly, I put them all to the test with extremely high expectations. I wanted something I had no pictures of and they had to go off of my cryptic, non-medical terminology. They were patient and weighed options with my size difference, helping me come up with the perfect fit.
Surgery went fine, and they were fantastic with my concerns post-surgically. Recovery took a lot longer than I was originally told. It took me about two months to have enough strength to do my normal everyday activities at full capacity. Working out required months of strength training, and at 6 months, I'm still not at 100%. But, the sacrifice was well worth it. Now that my breasts have dropped, they are soft and natural looking, and the size is exactly what I was pre-pregnancy. I don't have to wear a bra, but if I do it doesn't need to be supportive and doesn't slip up since I am only 30 inches around. Gone are my padded bras that attempted to achieve my old look at the expense of complete discomfort. Now, I am ALWAYS comfortable!
