My Breast Augmentation Journey Motiva 315 & 375 FP

Motivation:
Alright so it starts back in 2015 when i first thought of getting a BA done as my baby was a year old by then and i had recently moved to Dubai. I met a doctor my friend had her BA done from but somehow couldn’t move ahead with since i had little help with me to look after.
The reason why i wanted a BA in the first place was that i was always very unlucky in the chest department never going beyond a full A cup. However now in 2018 i started seeing so many pop up ads on my social media of different clinics advertising and this caught my attention again.

Doctors, how i made a choice:

I was really excited to meet a doctor who they claimed had a zero downtime surgery, as per him i could come and go in my own car on the day of surgery and go wear a bikini next day at the beach. He proposed 375 cc teardrop shaped implants for the kind of look i desire and i after a very good consultation with him went home. However the next couple of days when I tried contacting him, i learnt that he is a visiting surgeon and is only available once a month. I didn’t get a response on whatsapp or emails also so i decided not to go ahead with him as in case of any problem, I’d want my doctor in my access.
I wanted a second opinion and contacted the same doctor i went to in 2015 and as he compared my current measurements from today to the past, there wasn’t a difference at all. With regards to implants he said i am a monkey and do what the patient asks me to. This being my first ever surgical cosmetic procedure left me a little torn as to i am not an implant expert and nor can i decide what’s good for me what’s not. Finally we shortlisted 2 implants one motiva ergonomix and one polytech tear drop textured. He insisted on finalizing one size as he doesn’t like to order multiple sizes and decide what’s best in the OT instead he likes doing it beforehand with the patient. Knowing i had asymmetry, he decided to put 320 demi motiva in both breasts. Another thing that bothered me was him insisting i go to a radiologist only of his choice to do my breast scan considering how expensive the surgery is, i found it very cheap.
So torn, i contacted the clinic of the first doctor again and a lady referred me to their resident doctor Dr Mario Russo and I immediately booked my consultation with him. My previous 2 consultations were more than 1 hour each. This was a 20 min consultation and i knew Dr Mario is the doctor for me. My measurements were taken, wish pictures were seen and as per them he proposed motiva ergonomix 300-350 range for me finalizing the best at the time of surgery. He always welcomed any of my silly questions that kept arising in my head before surgery and i went ahead paid in full and booked for surgery 2 days later.

The nicest doctor you can possibly come across. Very humble, gentle and considerate. He ordered the right sized implant right from the OT and waited for it to arrive when he saw asymmetry in my breast couldn’t be resolved with the existing sizes he had and didn’t compromise by hurrying up. I can not thank him and his staff enough
