WORTH IT$5,000
I am 33 years old, I have an 8 year old and I am 5'5 and 115 pounds.
I am pretty slim, but my stomach was never the same after my pregnancy no matter my diet or exercise. I wanted to finally do something about it. My breast augmentation is something I have been thinking about for a long time. I am now 32 A cup and I am looking to be a full B after the surgery. I am doing Silicone implants under the muscle.

I chose to do my surgery in Colombia. I was born there and my family still lives there. I consulted a lot of doctors Via email and phone and did research on my Doctors until I felt comfortable enough to pick the one that would be performing my surgery.

I was surprised about the knowledge and how well prepared these doctors are. Most of the ones I consulted have had training in other counties. It is important that the doctor is part of the SCCP (Colombian association of plastic surgeons) just like in America, they are required specific training and all of their credentials are carefully verified by the association. It is important that the doctor that chose is part of the SCCP.

From the beginning of the consultations, my doctor has answered every question, I have been communicating with him via email and he has always answered in a timely manner every single question I asked. We finally spoke on the phone when I was ready to pick him as my doctor and were able to plan the surgery. Still a few weeks I am nervous and excited, but looking forward to it. ... I am here in Colombia, surgery is tomorrow, my doctor is great, great energy and its very apparent he loves what he does and his taste is also something that shows, I believe this matters when you want to look as certain way, my body is athletic and I still want it to look like that after the surgery, just with a little volume on the breasts and more "chiseled". He seemed to understand exactly what I want. Very excited!

May I ask, who nursed you afterwards? I am planning my trip to CO but am browsing for surgeons. Getting the surgery is the "easy" part. The hell afterwards is what I'm worried about and who will wipe me down when I'm done...lol *sigh*
