Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I got my implants when I was 19, and I have 350cc...
I got my implants when I was 19, and I have 350cc silicone. I was able to get silicone because my surgeon deemed me to have a congenital deformity, 'tuberous breasts'. I had a fairly mild case but definitely was what I was dealing with. I did a LOT of research over the course of about three years leading up to my surgery, so I felt that I was being smart about it. I wasn't doing it for anyone but myself.
Now, first off, my surgeon did an amazing job. I truly think I got the best possible outcome. I love them, they are perfect, no complications whatsoever...
So my main reason, is that I'm happy with myself. I don't think my breasts define me as a woman anymore. Back then, I was always wishing they would grow year after year, wanting to know what it felt like, thinking I'd feel more of a woman. I'm just so much more content with myself now, and I am ready to just be 100% ME. If someone falls in love with me and loves my body, I want it to be because it is mine, and not the work of a surgeon. I also like the look/feel of being more petite...and lastly, for health reasons. I know they're not lifetime devices and I would have to get them removed eventually, and I'd prefer before marriage/pregnancy/breastfeeding. Knowing that, the sooner I get them out the better, because my skin is still resilient, young, etc., and I would rather get them removed before any complications WERE to happen.
So yes, I'm over them. I've 'outgrown' them. I could regret them, but I don't. I think they were a good experience and stepping-stone to loving myself wholly. :)

Here are some more photos of me currently (and one of me before implants, back in 2008)
Dates Set
IT'S BOOKED!!
Pre-Op appointment scheduled for August 12th
Then I'm going to the CARIBBEAN for a week!
Operation scheduled Thursday August 27th at 9:30am
And Post-Op appointment scheduled for the next day at noon.
I'm SO excited and nervous but mostly excited! I have days where I love them and want to keep them, but I know this is for the best and would have to happen sooner or later. Better to do it now while I'm young and my skin is resilient. I know that I will love myself for who I am, it will be weird at first to re-adjust to tiny boobies but it will be awesome, I just know it. I am pretty sure I will have more than I started out with, at least. Dr. Lavinia Chong told me that herself, that this won't have all been a complete waste of time/money...the implants will have stretched out the skin a bit and will leave me with a little more boob than before! Yay! :)

Provider Review
Lavinia K. Chong, MD
Saw her for a consultation and immediately knew that she was the right choice. Felt well-cared-for the whole time! Definitely the right choice, especially if you're considering implant removal. :)
