  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Mother of 2 BA 320cc

I hope my review helps anyone considering a BA.

Ill start with my background:
I am 35 years old, petite frame, narrow shoulders, 5'2, 108 lbs, not much chest muscle, 32 A cup (possibly a AA), mother of 2 girls, both who were breast feed.
Went with 320cc Sientra Smooth Round Moderate (gummy silicone).

Why a BA:
Ive always had small breast but was never self conscience about them. Ive always been petite so my small boobies were perfect. After having and breast feeding my 2 littlies, it was as if the life just got suck right out of them. No joke they looked like 2 deflated balloons just hanging from my chest. Now i was extremely self conscince and began thinking about a BA. My husband was extremely encouraging in whatever i wanted to do.

The process:
I started with reading reviews on realself. I scheduled 3 consulations based on my location and reviews. I started this in 9/2021. Out of the 3 consults, i decided to go with Dr. Robert Hardesty of Imagine Pastic Surgery in Riverside, CA.

Why Dr. Hardesty:
2 of the consultations lasted some 30 mins. That was it. Dr. Hardestys consultation was over the phone and lasted well over 1 hr. He went over EVERYTHING. His professionalism, mannerism, and knowledge during my consult made me feel so comfortable with him. I also met Elizabeth who is a sweetheart! I love that they were never pushy about me getting the procedure done with them. They gave me my quote and it was very resonable. I called 12/2021and scheduled my surgery for 3/2022, paid my deposit. My pre op was 3/10/22and surgery today 3/23/2022.

The pre and surgery:
At my preop appt i was given tons of information. Appt lasted 2 hrs. We did sizing and i received my rx for everything i would need before and after surgery.
3 days prior to surgery i was to do a wash with hibiclens 2xs a day and apply an antibiotic onitment to avoid any possible infection-love the preventative measures!

The day is here!!
My surgery was scheduled at 1245pm. Nothing to eat or drink 8 hrs prior. The staff at the riverside outpatient clinic were absolutely wonderful! The nurse went over my discharge paperwork, then the anestisiologist spoke w me. Finally dr hardesty came in to answer any last min questions. Once we were good to go, he prayed for me. That was so touching and it just made me feel so good. Hes amazing!

The outcome:
I went with 320cc on both breasts. I feel preassure but no pain. Soon as i got home i started on the oxy. Its been a few hrs and i can move my arms no problem. Stay on top of those meds.

Tomorrow i have my post op appt. Ill try to update this novel of a review lol!!
