Breast Augmentation ... 36 Years In the Making! - Northbrook, IL

ORIGINAL POST

I have wanted a breast augmentation since I was...

WORTH IT$6,000
I have wanted a breast augmentation since I was 16yrs old and realized they were as big as they were going to get. I was disappointed to say the least. After nursing 3 kids, weight gains and losses, my breasts looked horrible. I got to the point where I kept my weight on the higher side because I knew if I lost weight, my breasts would shrink and sag. Being a single parent, this type of procedure wash't a priority for me when I was younger. I finally made it a priority at 52 years old and I am SO glad I did!

Since the procedure, I have lost 12lbs and plan to lose more. I look better now than I did 20 years ago! the only downside was that I had to purchase some new tops to accentuate my new figure.

I went in to MAE for the initial consult. I was nervous, shy and had 101 questions. Dr Krochmal was very easy to talk to and answered all of my questions and additional ones I thought of while in the office. He was patient with me, reassuring and has a sense of humor. He's one of those types of people that you meet once and feel as though you've known him for years. It was clear that he was well versed in his craft. He explained new technology in breast implant particularly beneficial for me as one of the new types of implant saved me from having to have a lift! I was so excited. I scheduled the procedure. Recovery was not bad at all! The first 2 weeks were the worst in terms of soreness but it went by quickly. I'm not going to lie...I was very sore. Before I knew it I was working out again. I went back the day after the procedure for a check and at regular intervals after that. Dr Krochmal was diligent in making sure I was healing properly and seemingly never tired of all of the new questions I had for him at each visit. I'd recommend Dr. Krochmal in a heartbeat. He's awesome!
