WORTH IT
Ever since I started nursing my breast size had fluctuated as small as a b cup all the was to DDD. My breast were saggy, and deflated. Now that we are done with have babies, I decided to get my breast done. I heard of Dr. Cohen at Belcara through a friend and did some research. He sounded amazing, and I knew I had to have a consultation with him. The first consultation I knew I didn’t need to look any further! The whole staff is sweet and Dr. Cohen had a great personality and bedside manner! I’m currently on Day 2 and feeling better then expected. I gave him a range and image to go off of and ended up with 450cc on each breast. I’m 5’8” and 163lbs for perspective. I also received a small amount of lipo in my armpit area. I’m so happy with my results so far!

Hi there! How is your pain level? I’m going in for a lift in the next few weeks and trying to plan for recovery. Thank you!

Day 3 it’s still not too bad. I do have a pretty high pain tolerance though. But managing the pain with the nerve pain meds and Tylenol mostly, I have only been taking my narcotic to sleep at night. Probably the most pain I’ve experienced so far is from where the lipo was done in my armpit area, but ice packs have been a big help with that pain though. Definitely worth it!

First follow up, hopefully getting drains removed

Feeling a lot better today, swelling is really going down and bruising is getting much better. My right side seems to have more healing to go then the left. Implants are still high and tight, and the incisions look good from what I can see through the steri-tape. Hoping I’m healed enough to get my drains removed at my follow up appointment this evening. Pain is easily manageable with minimal meds, and no narcotics. Happy with the 450cc, dr. Cohen definitely had a great eye with what would compliment the body shape. I have experienced a lot of bloating in my torso since surgery, but starting to see that decrease slowly too.

I’m SO pleased with my 2 week progress. I went for my second follow up, and was told my tubes could come out! They removed the steri-tape too and my incisions look fantastic. Dr Cohen is amazing! They are still a little asymmetric but that’s to be expected.

Didn’t get my tube removed my first follow up, but they took them out at my 2 week appointment! Feeling so much better with them out, and seeing what they look like with the steri-tape off. Dr. Cohen is amazing! I couldn’t be more pleased with my results so far!

Obsessed with your results!!! I have a TT scheduled next month. I’ve been contemplating if I should add a breast augmentation or not. How did you pick your size and shape? How did they affect your wardrobe? What have been the benefits you’ve seen since getting them? What were your measurements beforehand? Thanks and congrats on a stellar makeover! You look GORGEOUS!!! Can’t wait to follow your progress!

Thank you for your compliments! I’m LOVING them so far! My recovery was a little more then what was expected at my consultations, but I would do it again in a heartbeat for these results!

I really left the size decision up to my surgeon. I tried on some sizers at my pre-op appointment to get a look for the shape I wanted to go with, then showed him some pics of what I wanted to look like, and he decided the exact size and profile while I was on the table. That being said, I did a TON a research before I decided to even schedule my consultation, but once I met him I felt so comfortable that I was in the best hands.
