30 Years Old Breast Augmentation No Lift - Miami, FL

I'm almost 11 months post op and I just wanted to update you guys on my journey. So I have started my second round of chemotherapy after this I still have two more surgeries and radiation treatment. I'll be doing my 1st surgery in August where I'll be doing a double mastectomy as well as having my implants removed and replaced with tissue expander which are similar to saline implants just more firmer. I'll be doing my breast reconstruction after my radiation treatments. They'll be inserting silicone implants instead of the saline implants that I have now. I can definitely say ladies this has been one hell of a journey. I have been on one of the most scariest emotional roller coasters a person can ride on. I spent so much time being worried about what if my boobs were to rupture, leak, shift places, or etc but I never thought about what if I got cancer. When I first started this cancer journey my oncologist and my new plastic surgeon both assured me that my implants played no part in me getting cancer. The type of cancer I have is actually more common in younger African American women. I have contemplated on many occasions what if I didn't get my boobs done and every time I think about I become more positive that I made the right choice by getting them done. I'm so scared that if I would have waited or even not got them that by the time I even found out about the cancer it would have been too late. All I can say is ladies get those mammograms and breast ultrasound done. They are very important especially for us women that have implants.

Hey beauties. Sorry for the long wait but I wanted to make my next update after I was able to see the final results. I must say I am definitely happy and pleased with my final results. My boobs look natural and amazing. I also wanted to share something personal with you guys. So as we know getting implants is a very risky thing and if your an out of town patient getting regular post op check ups can be quite difficult. I wanna express the importance of getting a mammogram especially with implants. I just recently found out that I have triple negative breast cancer stage 1. However it was in way, shape, form, or fashion related to or caused by my implants however having the implants saved my life atleast that's what my oncologist stated. Here in Michigan you have to be 40 or older to get a mammogram but because I have implants I am allowed to get them at 30. If I didn't get the implants there's no telling if I would have even noticed the lump this early on. So I wanna stress the importance of getting a mammogram especially us ladies with implants. Our boobs go through so many size changes and feelings that sometimes we may overlook certain important things. I noticed my lump in late November but I put it off because I thought it was just apart of my boobs changing. After about a month went by and I still felt it I decided to go straight to the ER. When I was there the Doctor told me ”oh that just a cyst, you'll be fine" she was a damn lie. I decided to call my doctor who sent me to see a breaths specialist. After spending a few minutes with the specialist she assured me the lump was definitely not a cyst. She scheduled me for a mammogram as well as a breast ultrasound. After a few days I was called and told I was being scheduled for a needle guided biopsy. A few days later I received another call stating the mass was indeed cancerous and I was officially diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on February 23, 2017. This has definitely been hard to accept especially since I was told that I'll be losing my implants (keep in mind I got them July 2016). Can you say money wasted. I was told I'll get new implants after chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. I was told younger women make the highest percentage of women who die from breast cancer because they go so many years without knowing and it goes undetected. No matter how many minimum breast exams your obgyn doctor do. My oncologist told me that some doctors will perform a slight breasts exam especially if there is nothing suspicious that calls for a full one. I hope my story will encourage you all to get those boobies checked. These are our investments but also our lives can be greatly impacted.

I'll be 6 months post op on January 31 and I am extremely happy with the overall final results. My boobs look and feel so natural. Before my augmentation I was a 32/34 A which influenced my decision to get a boob job. Recently I went into Victoria Secrets to get fitted and measured and I was told I'm a 34DDD. I have 550cc in each boob under the muscle. I'm truthly thankful for all the work Dr Krau put into making my dreams come true.
