I've never been very blessed with boobs (I was usually about a 34A), but after nursing 3 kids, there was nothing left! I'd always thought about getting a BA, and now that we were done having kids, I decided it was the right time. After much research, we decided on Dr. Tholen. As he seemed very experienced and had great reviews. I booked a consult and surgery on the same day, as we were coming from Canada. I also decided to have some lipo done on my lower abdomen, which was always a problem area for me.
I am now almost 5 weeks post-op and so far I am very happy with the results. I went with silicone unders, with the incision under the breast crease. I believe they removed about 1 lb of fat from my abdomen, and my tummy is finally flat!
My implants have dropped a lot. The left is still a little behind the right, but I was told it can take up to 6 months for them to fully drop & fluff, so I'm not worried at this point. I think the final results will be great! I got measured for new bras, and I measured a 34D!! I've never had boobs before, so I am very excited!!

I was very happy when I met Dr. Tholen. He was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. I was nervous going into surgery, but he really made me feel calm and comfortable. He clearly is an expert on breast augmentation, and I felt very confident about my results being great. Since we live out of country, I was not able to come in for my 3 week follow up, so he called me to see how things were going, which I really appreciated.
