BEFORE PHOTOS
WORTH IT$5,200
These are photos from BEFORE either of my 2 breast augmentation procedures performed by Dr. Yoho. I apologize for the quality of the photos, but I did not keep any photos pre-surgery, and I got these from my parents so these are photos of photos OR photos of digital photos. However, though they may not be of the best quality, you can certainly see the HUGE difference the breast augmentation made. I encourage you to call Dr. Yoho's office today (in the LA area or Fresno area) or visit his website if you are considering a breast augmentation or any other cosmetic surgery procedure. I would go nowhere else (and I don't even live in California - it's worth the flight)! ;-) www.DrYoho.com or (800) 804-5476.

Dr. Yoho's breast augmentation allowed me to feel confident in a swimsuit for the 1st time in my life.
Dr. Yoho's breast augmentation allowed me to feel confident in a swimsuit for the 1st time in my life! Thank you Dr. Yoho! Dr. Yoho also did my liposuction surgery so please see my review regarding that procedure as well to learn about my experience. Both Dr. Yoho's breast augmentation procedure and liposuction surgery provided me with outstanding results (superior to what I expected).

Surgical Details and Recovery
I just wanted to post some details regarding the surgery itself/recovery.
As mentioned above, this was the first of two breast augmentations Dr. Yoho has performed for me (8 and 1/2 years apart). This surgery was performed with an incision made in the creases underneath each breast which I loved because my scars have never shown. Implant placement was above the muscle, and we used silicone breast implants. I believe the implant size used was 375ccs which made me a full C cup.
The pain following this surgery was not bad at all. Please, do not let fear of recovery pain keep you from having a breast augmentation procedure. My second augmentation was done earlier this month and that one was done under the muscle. I was more sore after the recent surgery of course, but it was still nowhere near as bad as I had feared it might be. Dr. Yoho's uses tumescent anesthesia for most breast augmentation procedures. This technique has the dual purpose of numbing the area and inhibiting bleeding. Not all surgeons use this technique, and when tumescent is not used, there may be more bleeding during surgery and more swelling and bruising during recovery.
Back to the discussion of the breast augmentation I had in 01/2008 - I was not in great pain or distress following surgery at all. I even felt well enough to go out to eat dinner at Cheesecake Factory on Colorado Blvd the night of my surgery. Again, I must stress that I clearly remember the fear I had pre-surgery regarding the anticipation of great pain during recovery. As described above, I was surprised to find I was not in nearly as much pain as I expected throughout the entire healing process, and I didn't even need to use all of the prescription pain medicine I had been prescribed.
I also neglected to mention in the body of my review that though I had my implants for almost 9 years, I had NO PROBLEMS with them other than the rippling which resulted from the atrophy of breast tissue following breast feeding. I had no hardening around the implants (capsule contracture) nor any other issues with them. They were nothing less than beautiful right up to the day that we switched them out. In fact, it was a little bit tough emotionally letting go of those beautiful breasts though I had full confidence in Dr. Yoho's ability to replace them with another set of implants that paralleled their beauty.

How do you feel about the difference between them over and under the muscle? What size are the new ones? Do you experience chest muscle animation with unders compared? Thanks!
