After nursing all three of my babies, I had named...
WORTH IT$4,600
After nursing all three of my babies, I had named my breasts "Droopy" & "Sloppy". I never minded being small because I was perky. But once the perkiness disappeared, I decided I needed to do a little something for myself. I had my first BA (325cc, silicone) in 2006. I was very happy with my breasts at first, but after 10 years, I wanted a new pair and I wanted them a bit bigger.
I've been trying to have my BA since July 2015. Several injuries and poor sugar control (I am a Type 1 diabetic) prevented me from having surgery as I had to cancel / reschedule 5 times before I could finally have the procedure done. This has been a tough process for me and I am very excited to say that I am now VERY happy with my new breasts!
After a lot of research, I chose Dr. Perez-Gurri at Imagos Plastic Surgery. I felt very comfortable and safe with him because he had experience performing plastic surgery on patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The added BIG PLUS was that his portfolio of work was absolutely outstanding. I knew halfway through my consult, that he was the one. I have to say that I couldn't have been happier with my choice - or my results!
I am a single mom, a marketing exec, an avid golfer and I do pilates (obsessively) about 5 times / week. I take care of myself and make it a priority to follow my nutrition plan (that doesn't mean I don't cheat every once and a while) in order to keep my diabetes under control. I have 3 kids I need to stay healthy for! So, my point is that my body is very important to me and I am ecstatic that I chose Dr. Perez-Gurri - and even more ecstatic with my results!
I found Dr. Perez-Gurri while searching on RealSelf for reviews from diabetic patients. I wanted to know their stories and see which doctors they chose. I stumbled across a review from a young lady that had a BA with Dr. Perez-Gurri and I reached out to her through RealSelf. She was responsive and willing to answer all my questions. This site has been an incredible resource for me. I have been able to read reviews, see results, ask questions, learn about options, get great advise, and ultimately help me select the perfect size for me and the PS I always hoped for. Thank you, RealSelf!

Thank you Dr. Perez-Gurri & Imagos staff! The surgery couldn't have gone better (PS said so himself). I have felt very little pain - just a bit of pressure, nothing to complain about. No more Vicodin, only Tylenol - yay!

Day 2 & 3 - recovering and happy!
I have to say that I am pretty surprised with my recovery.. I was so worried thinking that I would be down for the count for at least a week, but I've been fantastic. No more Tylenol even! I have to give credit to my PS.. He is awesome.

Wow, you look great! You doctor did a beautiful job on your revision. I have to say your arms and shoulders look great too...must be the pilates and golf. Good for you for staying healthy and active. I'm sure it was tough waiting for just the right time to get your surgery considering your diabetes but it looks like the wait was worth it. Feel free to join the March 2016 breast implant revision surgery forum for some additional post op support. Keep us posted as you continue to heal!
