I have been toying with the thought of implants for years.

I finally have a surgery date of Feb 17th!

I have researched more than I have EVER heard of anyone getting breast implants research. Topics ranging from immune disorders after implants to the healing process.

Does anyone want to give me tips on anything you WISH you knew before implants? Or that you found out after and were shocked?

I could not be happier. Dr Tholen treated me with patience and respect. If I was rating the pain I've experienced I would only have to put it at .75! Not even a 1!! I cannot believe it. I am very happy so far and will continue to update.

I am now almost two weeks post op. I still cannot believe how much of a breeze this has been. I truly credit that to Dr. Tholen. I have had friends that did not have such an easy time, and I was so nervous. My pain STILL has not even reached a full 1 on a scale from one to ten. I mean it's absolutely unbelievable. I'm obeying orders on not overdoing it, but I felt ready to return to normal activity the next DAY.

As I said in my previous review, I researched everything over and over. Called the nurses with any new internet information that sparked fears. I consulted with friends. I was not about to do something that could effect my life In a negative way so I REALLY did my research.

After all is said and done, my only question is, why didn't I do this sooner?

Let me know if you have any questions! My absolute reccomendatuon is Dr. Tholen at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery. If you are on the fence, just schedule a free consult with him and do your research as you go. This is what I did, and it worked so well!
