Breast augmentation has been in the back of my mind since realizing my breasts wouldn’t be getting any bigger than the AA bra size I was in. Finally at age 24 I got serious about researching—from getting basic info online, to choosing board certified plastic surgeons to meet with for consultations. It didn't take long for me to realize Dr. Tholen was the perfect surgeon to perform my breast augmentation.

Having this surgery was a very big decision for me. I even had my twin sister to go through this with me, and I was still very nervous. I didn't know exactly what to expect post-op and was worried about complications. Now, after almost 3 months, I can not believe I was so nervous. I absolutely love my new breasts and everything went so well! I finally have the body I've been wishing for since I was a teenager!

Thank you for posting your story on RealSelf! I'm glad you were able to get this done. Being a AA is no fun for anyone. I'd love to know what sort of implants you went with...
