My Breast Augmentation Story! - New York

This review is long overdue because I can't even explain how reading other people's experience was so so so helpful to me. I got a breast augmentation last year February 2013 with Dr. Tehrani in his Long Island office. I decided I wanted a breast augmentation and set up a consultation. I picked Dr. Tehrani because the year before he had done my friend's breast augmentation and her boobies looked BEAUTIFUL. After speaking to her I was confident that he would be the doctor for me too. So I think in the Fall of 2012 I called for a consultation and that weekend I went to the Manhattan office and spoke to Dr. Tehrani. When I met with him that's how I knew I made the right decision, he was nice and very helpful. That's always a good thing because I was so nervous. He made me put a bra and a tshirt and with different sizes of implants I picked the size that I was looking for.

The day of the surgery I was sooooo scared. After coming out of surgery I felt SO bad. I mean I had never had a major surgery like that and I wasn't prepared for the pain. For maybe 3 weeks every single morning when I would get up from bed my chest would hurt SO bad. At that time I was slammed with depression. It was sorta like Postpartum depression. I mean I cried so much because my body was so different and I just wanted to be my old self again. That lasted for about 3 months and then slowly I started to accept my decision. I urge everyone to be 1000% sure of their decision. I can't explain why I felt that way. Maybe I was just nervous. Maybe this happens to a certain few but it was so difficult to experience.

My breasts after surgery were really high and HARD. It took about 10 months for them to finally drop and fluff out completely. Gradually they were looking more natural. I went from a 34 A to a Full C/small D. I wanted a NATURAL look. I ended up having 375cc silicone implants through an areola incision. I can tell you now that I LOVEEEEE my breasts. They looks so natural and they feel so soft. Dr. Tehrani did an amazing job. Once they finally dropped and fluffed out where they didn't feel hard anymore, they looked like I've always had this size. People get so surprised when I tell them that I actually had surgery. I think I've referred 5 people to Dr. Tehrani because he did such a good job and his staff was great. The Long Island office where the surgery was performed is also newly renovated (they were almost finishing construction when I got mines done) so it's super clean and safe.

Key things: After my breast augmentation surgery I got HORRIBLE stretch marks. I guess my body doesn't take well skin stretching. I haven't gone through a pregnancy yet so this was all new to me. I mean I got reallyyyyy bad red stretch marks all over my boobs and they were SO painful. I think that contributed to my depression after surgery. The stretch marks looked so horrible and my books hurt so much. While my breasts had a beautiful shape, they looked horrible with the stretch marks. Dr. Tehrani prescribed me a cream for the stretch marks but at the end of the day I think it was time that helped them subside. I say subside because the red stretch marks went away and all I have now is the white ones. I'm pretty light skinned so you can't tell that much unless you go reallyyy close. So ladies word of advise!! Once you know you are having surgery start putting cocoa butter or bio oil to your boobs to help and prepare yourself for the stretching. I feel like if I would've done that I wouldn't have such bad stretch marks.

Overall experience: I love my breasts. They make me feel confident and I love how natural they look. I highly recommend Dr. Tehrani too because he created exactly what I had pictured!
