Great Doctor from Renowned Hospital. Felt Safe in Her Hands!

Great thus far! I met with several doctors in the area about breast augmentation and and a scar revision, and Dr. Percec really listened to me at the consult. She suggested we go over the muscle because of my athletic lifestyle and explained what she'd do to my scar. The other doctors told me under the muscle, and not to touch the scar! When I raised the concern that you'll see all over the internet, that submuscular "looks more natural and have less risk of capsular contraction," she allayed my concerns and discussed all the things she does to prevent biofilm-- bacteria that is thought to cause contracture. She also suggested that in Europe, doctors more frequently go over. And then she told me about motion deformity.... which seems a bigger risk for me.

We spent time debating size.. in the office and then me with her nurse practitioner over the phone. I was leaning for smaller and she said everyone wakes up and wishes they went bigger. I said, "not me!" She then suggested a range that is proportional to my very straight, tall frame and I insisted she go for the lower end of that range in the operating room.

The office provided me with a vitamin and supplement regimine, creams of every kind and sillicone strips. They respond quickly to calls and emails.

I had my surgeries one week ago and it was easy, and I went home just on Motrin. Pain free in two days, other than the sensation of very stretched skin and an occasional twinge if I reach too high. Going subglandular is an easy recovery.

I went with 360 cc sillicone, subglandular, smooth round mentor moderate profile. They look great ... in line with other early post-op photos here. I don't have the guts to post full on shots, sorry.

In the end, after taking the bandages off.. she was right, I probably could have gone bigger. Ha! I love them anyway and am happy I took the plunge.

(My big scar looks much better too but I won't share that image).

So I have to admit, when I first took off my bandages I cried because they looked like swollen grapefruits stuck on my chest. But in about one week, they started looking better and I think I was feeling a lot better physically so the emotions settled down. But I was still worried because they didn't move at all...no give, no way I'd have cleavage. By the second week, they got much softer and moveable, and I realized what a great job my surgeon did. The nipple placement is great and the incisions look good. Today, three weeks post-op, I love them and started trying on clothes. Exciting!!!. I nearly threw this suit away because I didn't really fill it... glad I didn't!!!! Can't wait to buy some more! Thank you Dr. Percec!
