I am a transgender woman and have been living full time for five years. I finally decided to treat myself to a dual present. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of living full time as a woman and to celebrate my 35th birthday. I have always wished for nice breasts. I had saved the money for the surgery, got to researching, and made it happen. I had a consultation scheduled with another plastic surgeon only to be told he works with postoperative trans women. So I booked another consultation with Dr. Armando Soto in Orlando, FL. I was excited to get the news that he would be able to operate on me pending a psychiatric evaluation. Which is standard practice for gender confirmation style surgery. I was one of those patients who went in thinking that I knew what I wanted. Upon getting realistic expertise from Dr. Soto I definitely had a new outlook on the surgery. He was very informative during the consultation. The patient coordinator Keely is very warm and bubbly. She will put a smile on your face. So I decided to go with Dr. Soto and had my surgery on 5/21/15. I ended up with 500cc Mentor moderate plus left breast and 550cc Mentor moderate plus right breast due to prior asymmetry from breast growth from prior hormone therapy.

Thanks, I am definitely noticing a rise in my confidence levels. Just ready for them to drop and the slight bit of uncomfortability to pass.

Taking natural supplements for enhancement and HRT. So far, I'm getting cleavage.

I am sure they will. Do good research on the doctor, the facilities, and surgical procedure.
