125cc Mentor Saline Implants, Duet Plastic Surgery
I'm very happy with the procedure done by Dr Lim and staff at Duet Plastic Surgery. They were recommended to me by a Kaiser plastic surgeon, whose opinion I trust. I highly recommend them to others.
Dr Lim is a fantastic listener. I met with several doctors in the area, and besides Duet's glowing credentials, I heavily weighed the doctor's communication skills - their ability to listen and understand my wants and concerns before offering options. She was always calm and intently listened. It was confidence-inspiring to talk to her while feeling heard and not rushed.
Background: I'm an active rock climber, /completely/ flat chested, and just wanted the tiniest something to feel feminine. I had 200cc saline previously but always thought they felt large on my frame. I was very embarrassed by them and would only wear clothing to hide them. After explant, I was unfortunately also dissatisfied by being completely flat, so I decided to do the procedure again after 2 years. I had concerns about notice-ability, impact to my strength, BAD, and safety.
Other doctors immediately suggested silicone 200cc without much perceived thought, citing the base width diameter of my chest. Based on our conversations, Dr Lim suggested 125cc saline, which is the smallest possible volume for saline. Even though the diameter is very small, she thought it would still look realistic and it met my concerns. Yes, they don't look perfectly real (fat has a droop and movement different to implants) and I don't love that I have implants, but given the cost-benefit analysis, I'm sincerely happy with my results and decision. I'm back to sending climbs outdoors, and don't feel self-conscious about notice-ability.
Besides my happy decision with the doctor, the staff is wonderful. Jolie makes scheduling easy. The staff is very welcoming and sweet.
This wasn't a factor in my decision, but it felt great to support smart, capable women.
