Dream Breast Experience

Being naturally flat chested, I came to the decision in my mid 20s that I wanted to go ahead with breast augmentation. I hardly filled an A cup and wanted something that would give me a filled out B, nothing too large as I have a small frame. A family member had gone to see Dr Isolde Hertess and had a highly recommended experience & outcome. I booked in for a consult with Dr Hertess and her team and was not disappointed. Everyone was caring and professional, and informative regarding my queries. Dr Hertess recommended around a 200CC size for my body shape and ideals, the final size to be decided in theatre depending on my breast cavity. She advised a Motiva round Demi-projection implant would give me a fuller look in the upper breast, whilst still maintaining a natural and perky appearance. She was truly amazing to talk with and I felt relaxed knowing I was in good hands. As she works from both Cairns and Gold Coast I had the option to stay locally or fly down to GC (although Dr Hertess kept her prices low the anaesthetist and room pricing were about $2500 more expensive to have the operation performed locally) however I decided it would be easier post-op to have it done in the same city. On the day of my surgery Dr Hertess and her nurse Alison came in to see me whilst I was waiting in hospital and made sure I was comfortable and addressed any further questions and illuminated the process. I was introduced to the anaesthetist, everyone was lovely. After surgery I woke up and peered down at my chest and couldn’t believe I had breasts for the first time in my life! It was a very emotional moment for me. I found out that the implant size best suited to me was a 215CC and I couldn’t be happier, even though they were hard and swollen I loved them already. I recovered well, getting past the initial 2 weeks was the hardest part due to pain and feeling crappy from the painkillers but everyone at the clinic were great and super caring at all my post-op appointments. So fast forward over 2 months and my breasts have settled marvellously and continue getting softer and dropping into their position (I hear this can take up to 6 months). One side dropped quicker than the other, but I’m told this will even out over time. All in all, I am so SO happy I decided to get implants. They’ve changed my life, and they feel so naturally part of me now I can’t imagine myself without them. Dr Isolde Hertess exceeded my expectations and gave me the breasts I’d always envisioned for myself.
