Pros/Cons of BA
WORTH IT$6,000
Suggestions for achieving the best results:
1) Be realistic- Expect improvement not perfection
2) Prepare your mind/body mentally and physically ready for your procedure. Loose weight if you need to eat healthy, drink 2-3 liters of water per day and exercise 30-40 mins per day in the months and weeks leading up to your procedure.
3) Plan ahead: Have your prescriptions available prior to procedure, Loose clothing, plan light meals for the 1st 48 hrs at least, set up an area in your home with the best access to the bathroom and kitchen.
4) Elicit the help of someone trustworthy
5) Organize/plan for adequate time off from work I suggest bare minimum 2-3 weeks off. You need to allow for a period of adjustment. REST! Follow your surgeons instruction! No alcohol, No Smoking!
PROS/CONS:
a) Major improvement in body image
b) Enjoyment with your significant other
-------------------------------------------
1)Post-op pain
2) Post-op anxiety
3) insomnia for the first 48 hrs (I experienced)
4) Mental adjustment to something foreign in your body
5) 3 months of breast sensitivity/tenderness

So after breastfeeding 5 babies my breast headed south. I had several consultations over the years but did not click with any of the surgeons. I finally found Dr. Lilly Lee in Pasadena Ca and we clicked. She understood what I wanted and explained to me what I needed to achieve the best aesthetic results. Natrelle/457, 15 round sub facia, above muscle! 3 months post-op. Super happy with the results, I wish I had found her sooner! Major improvement in my body image!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.
It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.
As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.
I'm 8 months post-op. I love my breast. It took some getting use to but I love them. I am very happy I did this for myself because after having my children my breast were so saggy and deflated I did want my husband to look @ them or touch them. The loss of volume made intimacy undesirable for me. As far as the recovery period the first week -month was the worst. I regretted doing the procedure (Dr Lily Lee told me this might occur)! I wanted to have them removed because I was so uncomfortable and unaccustomed to the new me, the implants were heavy, I didn't were a support bra so that they would drop quicker (worst decision ever) mind you they dropped/settled but I was a mental mess during the process.
Nice results. The bra looks very supportive too.
Silicone or Saline?
Silicone!
