Loving results even more

Almost a year later, I am loving my breast augmentation. They look, move, and feel even more natural as time has progressed. Now fully settled in. They look just like my natural originals, just now, they're more filled out:) exactly what I wanted. The Dr. did suggest a lift along with the implant, which I agree with however, I haven't had kids yet and plan to. So until I am through having children, I'll enjoy these boobies and then I'll get the whole mommy makeover when the time comes! These are perfect for the time being.

Best Decision EVER!!

I have a previous post Pre Op describing my feelings but this is my Post Op story and it is very short. I love my new breasts, and I love Dr. John Shamoun. He couldn'tve done a better job & couldn't be happier. Recovery was virtually painless. Up and moving day of, but took it easy. Day after went to lunch & movies. Week 1 back in gym. 1 month already looking & feeling natural, insicions amazing & healed. Worth every penny.

Week 7

I know I was happy before, but I am even happier. They look & feel amazing. And so natural!? Even my friends can't get over it. How fast I recovered, how real they feel & look, how small & undetectable the incision is.. Clothes fit better, my body is more proportionate, more confident in the bedroom which is a nice surprise. I have no more soreness, & I don't even need to do any crazy massages, just squeeze each implant for 10 seconds per day. That's it! They're settling nicely, & it's like I never even had anything done, until I look in the mirror that is! I just feel more complete. Everything I wanted and then some:)

After almost 15 yrs of considering plastic surgery & looking for doctors I have finally come upon Dr. Shamoun. I just like the guy. He is honest & very frank. He might not tell you exactly what you want to hear, but that's a very important thing when going into anything that can permantly change you. Everything he says is logical, and he takes the time to talk with you about every detail. He is also pricey. I have been saving for a LONG time.. But I have a feeling he will be worth every penny. From what I've seen plastic surgery wise in general.. the saying "you get what you pay for" definitely rings true. When it comes to your body, why risk it. Go to the best, save the money. Dr. Shamoun's staff (Yvonne) has also been spectacular. She helps explain anything else you might be unsure of. I have never gotten such a good feeling from any medical office as I have with Dr. Shamouns office. He seems like a true cross between Skilled surgeon of medical science & Artist. Excited about this quest:)
