I am amazed at how even after reading so much about the procedure and after knowing that I would be swolen and square and lopsided, I was still not ready for my body to feel or look that way. It was such a different experience, but one I am glad I had the strength to allow myself to have. The tightness is real! As someone who has asthma, I was worried about feeling out of breath and getting that asthma feeling right after surgery. My experience with CG Cosmetic surgery was overall positive. I warn that it is not the place for everyone and it's important to be pro-active when it has to do with your body regardless. Ask questions! They are there to help. While I didn't always get a response in a timely manner, I always got one.

Get your consultation and do it on a day when you have time to go through the entire prosess without worrying that they are closing. I did my consult and pre-op at the same time two weeks before my surgery. At that time I had already paid for my surgery as I had previously been quoted and was told the special discount would not be available if I waited another day. This meant I had to rush home after work and run to find a credit card I could use. After looking like a maniack, I found one but they dont' take care-credit anymore so I couldn't use that one. This meant I had to give my coordinator my social over the phone and apply for their special financing. I know I got ripped off! But I still feel the price I paid was a lot less than what I would have paid had I gone a few miles from my home. Here they wanted close to $6,000. To me, the special attention and proximity weren't worth the extra thousands of dollars. I didn't want to give up quality because of the price I was willing to pay was significantly lower so I researched Dr. Ary Krou and found that he has his own practice in Miami too and that he only works on Saturdays at the clinic. So I was able to get a renowned surgeon who has many years of experience and is known for breast augmentation.
He does have bad reviews, but not many. The ones I saw were not bad and I was willing to take the risks. I also looked at the lawsuits and his medical malpractice. I took the time to read a few of those and in my opinion, none of the things that were mentioned had to do with fault and were people who in my opinion where overreacting. While I'm sure there must be some that I didn't read and could be bad, I can say that my experience of recovery was very positive and went well. I am more than happy to answer any questions about my procedure and experience with CG Cosmetic Surgery as well as my experience with Dr. Ary Krau. In my mind they are separate. He was not nice at first and I felt very much rushed. The day of the surgery he was completely different. He was funny attentive, friendly and seemed to care about me and how I was feeling. Once I experienced that side of him I felt immediately at ease.

Make sure you feel comfortable and that you are the one who chooses the implant size. I was almost persuaded into going bigger and after my surgery I am glad that I chose the size I did and probably would go a bit smaller. Either way, I am very happy with the results thus far.
My insicions look great. They have shrunk and are just little lines. They sometimes hurt if I wear bras that are rubbing on them as I expected.

I went to Dr. Krau and I did not not have a bad experience with him. Although I feel the office and doctor should give more time for a first consult but on the day of my surgery he seem to give more time to listen to what I want. I had my surgery incision around my nipple and he did a great job. I have NO SCARS no lumps. Check my real self page for pictures of Dr. K work. I wish silicone came bigger than 800cc. I want them bigger than 800cc. Maybe the next time FDA will approve for larger implants in silicone. Maybe I should have kept my saline to go bigger than 800cc. I love his work he done on me no complaints at all.
