WORTH IT
I had been considering BA for a few years then finally just made the call and had some questions answered. Melissa is Great and so sweet, she set my consultation up and made me feel excited! Although my breast were pretty "C's"-- they lacked what I used to have-- perky and fullness. I decided I wanted somewhat bigger as well... If you're gonna go, Go Big-- joking, not too big but big enough for me!! After PO I was extremely sore, felt tight, and just uncomfortable... Each day that passes, I feel better than I did the day before. It's been just over a week so far and a lot of swelling has went down, I'm getting a lot more comfortable, and even I look Twice at myself when I pass a mirror! The "Girls" are looking Great! Even better than I had imagined-- my hubby drools when I walk into a room. :) I'm very Happy with mine and Capizzi's decision, also with his amazing performance and skills.

Hey, Beth!! Thank you for inquiring!! I was so very nervous at first~ which I'm sure is common. I loved my breast prior to the BA, but after having a child and losing weight~~ my once beautiful breast didn't look the same. I wanted to feel confident and wear my tanks and swim suits with confidence and feel like the "younger Perky Full chest" I had once had! Gravity stinks the older you get. When I wore my normal 34C bra-- I didn't fill them up like I used to. I'd thought about breast implants for sometime but didn't know much about it until I found this wonderful site with so many beautiful women getting their confidence back and sharing their beautiful stories! After my consultation with Dr Capizzi- I was so Ready and absolutely positive the Gummies were perfect and the most ideal for me!! Within 7 days- I underwent the surgery!!!! As sore as I was and somewhat still am--- I Must say, I Absolutely LOVE my breast!!!!! 550cc's are Perfect for my body, confidence, and Clothing!!! I'm Super Happy with my results and CAnt wait until they settle and see the Final Results of Dr Capizzi's talented work!!! He is Absolutely Amazing!!! I have seen my friends BA that went with other "cheaper" PS's~~ I'm Soooo Happy I did some research and chose to go with a little more expensive, experienced Surgeron!! P. Capizzi is the Best, Hands Down!!!!!! He takes passion and care in his work!!! Not to mention, he is a very humble experienced Dr, who wants the Absolute Best results for his patients. From the first time I met him and his staff, I was so comfortable and truly felt he was taking care of me like his own family member!!!! I would recommend him to Anyone looking for the perfect achievement! He's amazing!!!!! As for family and friends--- Of course the first thing they say is " I wanna See Them"!!! Although I'm only on my 1st day of the 3rd week (still healing) they are All amazed and say how beautiful they are and WHO is my Doc!!!! I would recommend this man to anyone and everyone!!! I'm proof he is the most talented surgeon I have found!!!!! Thank you for inquiring!!! I Love Them More EveryDay!!!!! Ps. My swim suits turn Every head-- whether it's my husband or random males and females.. That tells me; they are Fabulous bc of all the double takes!!!! :) sooooo Happy!!!!!

Thanks so much!! Im 5'7.5 height, my weight is 143lbs. Before breast aug, I was a 34 C cup. I haven't been sized yet for my new cup size but my implants are Mentor High Profile Smooth 550cc. I'm so happy with my decision and how fast my recovery is going. They are dropping somewhat-- I'm so ready for them to be completely healed and see my final results. :)

You're definitely going to look incredible. It's really great to see more women getting high profile! It's still a relatively newer profile. I've got mentor hp's, but I went with the textured, natural slope, memory shape implant.
It's so crazy to see all the changes, lol. I was afraid that my nipples were going to be all over the place, but they turned out right where they should be, thank goodness!!

I think that you picked the perfect size for your body. I can't wait to continue to see your boobs take on boobiliciousness!!!

I was so nervous how I would look with this size, I explained to my PS what I was looking to achieve and some ideal pics of others from this site.. Dr Capizzi actually decided for me and my body. He is incredible!!! Everyday "they" are looking better and better!! They are dropping quickly and the swelling is subsiding!! I'm Sooo Happy with them!!! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks! I will post an update then! Thanks so much for your compliments and interest. My close family and friends say they are Beautiful and also want some now.. Lol!! Very Exciting!!

I am so happy that you are having such a great recovery! It makes all the difference in the world, and it is definitely helpful and awesome that you look incredible, lol
