I am going into this surgery with very high hopes to improve my confidence and gain the girlish curves I was not blessed with at birth. My whole life I have been made fun of for having a flat chest "itty bitty [RS bleep] committee." I want to change this and feel good about myself and I'm very excited to start the process! I went with Dr. Tholen in Minneapolis Minnesota and he was absolutely perfect and Tracey his assistant was wonderful. I felt so welcomed and they are very down to earth. I gave them the expectation I wanted and they are going to give me the reality of what I pictured.

How exciting for you! Do you know what type and about what size implants you'll be getting to gain some girlish curves? Feel free to join a forum for fitness competitors getting breast implants. Looking forward to your updates!

I am now sitting a little past two weeks post op. First, I feeling amazing and so happy to have gone with Dr. Tholen. The day of surgery I went in and met his team they were super easy to talk to and had wonderful charm, which made it easy to relax. Before you knew it I was asleep and woke up to a new beautiful set of boobs! Dr. Tholen gave me 360cc for each of my breasts which I think is perfect for my frame! They made sure I was taken care of before leaving the office and made a appointment to see him the following day. The next day for my post op check Dr. Tholen rechecked everything and instructed me on things to do while I was healing for the week until I saw him that next Saturday. Let me tell you the pain scale of all this was maximum a 3! Everything was so bare able I couldn't believe it!! One week post op I went in and saw Dr. Tholepin and he instructed me on massages to do, he also removed the strips covering my incisions which to my surprised looked wonderful! The were light pink and barely looked visible one week post op! He gave me silicon patches to place on the healing incision sites along with a scar creme to apply twice daily!
I can not express how happy I truly am to had made the decision to go with Dr. Tholen, he has gave me nothing but the best and I highly recommend him. Dr. Tholen gave me the perfect breast size and listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. I'm so excited to keep healing and see what is to come!
