I'm a mom of 3. Before kids I was a full 34A. While nursing I was a very full 34C and now I'm a very deflated 34A. I'm 5 ft tall and 104 lbs. I'm getting 265 cc silicone implants under the muscle in a few weeks. I've been researching breast augmentation for over 6 years and it's finally time to go for it! I'm very excited but extremely nervous! I've never been put under and I'm very worried about nausea and vomiting post surgery. Hoping for an easy recovery. Anyone out there that's had a breast augmentation with Dr. Ghavami? I'd love to hear about your experience!

Blessings on your BA journey! My breasts got a little bigger and deflated after nursing/weaning-I can relate. Pictures are always helpful to others. :) Nice to see someone else not go to big. Have you tried on sizers to see if you like the look?

Thank you Iris34:). I'll try and post pictures. I'll definitely post some in a bathing suit. And no, I didn't try on any sizers when I went in for my consultation, but I did make rice sizers at home. I think 265 cc's will be great for me. And my Dr. just wants to give me what he knows my body can handle. I'll be the size that I was when I was 9 months pregnant. I'm excited! Thanks for the encouragement!

21 days pre-op and feeling good!

I'm 21 days pre op and feeling surprisingly calm. I'm a very anxious person but I think I feel good about my decision and have the support of my family so I have a calmness that I wasn't expecting to have this close to my surgery day. 21 more days!!! Can't wait to not look like a 12 year old boy anymore! Today I went for my normal 4 mile run... When I run I feel nothing in my chest, no bouncing, no movement, so it'll be weird in a few months to run and have something there. And I'm finally posting some pictures. No naked ones though... Don't know if/when I'll work up the courage to post those. We'll see!

I had my surgery with Dr. G in August. Everything went great. And I had no pain from my BA. I also had lipo on my outer thighs and pouch...that sucked. Be very specific about what you want and really think about it and he will make sure you have those results. He does have a very calming nature about him, doesn't he?? I have gone in many times freaking out and he calmed me right down lol. Good luck! You are going to be fine and love your results!!

Thank you for commenting. Honestly, this made me feel so much better. I've just been having one of those days... Doubts and nervousness! So you made me feel better! Glad to hear you had a great experience. And yes, he is calming! Love that!

12 days until surgery... Freaking out a little!

Time is flying by. I can't believe I'm only 12 days out. I've been trying to do things around the house. Deep cleaning, decorating for Christmas, etc. I'm staying very busy. I'm feeling excited to do this! I bought a bunch I super comfy bralettes. I'm bringing those with me to my surgery because I believe I don't have to wear my surgical bra all the time after...? Not positive about that, but I'll find out soon enough. And I've been working out like crazy but avoiding any chest workouts. I also started taking my vitamins (drs orders). I'm taking a B-complex and Zinc. I'm avoiding things like garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper... I have a HUGE list of things to avoid so that'll be interesting. I'm still extremely worried about getting sick after surgery. But it seems that with anesthesia these days they are pretty good about keeping you comfortable. We'll see. I find out in 12 short days!

I saw your question in the Doctor Q&A about possibly being sick with a cold. Did you go forward with your surgery today? Anxiously awaiting your update. Hope you are well!
December 7, 2013
Yes! I was feeling great last night and this morning so I went through with the surgery. I'm going to do a new post soon!!
