I have always been very active. I spent most of my childhood in gymnastics and then got involved with cheerleading in high school. Being extremely active took a toll on my feminine attributes, meaning I never had breasts! At the gym, I could put in the work to 'build' a better booty, however I could not do the same with my chest. Whenever I wore a bra, there would always be a gap between my chest and the bra that only implants could fill. There were only two circumstances in which my chest appeared more full: 1) If I gained unwanted weight and stopped working out so hard 2) right before my period.

I contemplated getting breast implants for the better part of a decade. I feared that if I got the procedure my breasts would look extremely unnatural due to my small physique and that they would be too big for my body. I was also worried that getting breast implants would interfere breast feeding in the future. I decided to pull the trigger after speaking to my boyfriend's hair dresser. She had similar issues and concerns with the procedure. She said that getting the procedure was one of the best decisions of her life and that she had recommended Dr. Morea to 3 of her closest friends.

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Morea at the end of October 2016. From the moment I met Dr. Morea, I knew that he was extremely knowledgeable and would be able to give me the look I desired. Dr. Morea assured me that my breasts would not be too big for my body and would look natural.

A week later, I scheduled my procedure for mid November 2016. I was very nervous about altering my body surgically the days leading up to the procedure. I had this fear that I would not feel like myself and would not be comfortable with the results.

On the day of my surgery, I felt like I had everyone's attention at Dr. Morea's office. The anesthesiologist came in and explained all of the medications in great detail. The surgical nurse was awesome and put my nerves to ease as I was getting set up. Everything seemed very calm the morning of the procedure. The next thing I knew, I was in recovery and woke up asking for my boyfriend.

Recovery after the surgery was not what I had expected. I was very alert the day of the surgery and spent the rest of the day at home watching TV. I will say that I took pain medication as prescribed and did not try to 'tough it out'. When the pain medication started to wear off, it felt like my chest was stretching so much that it was going to explode. I felt like an over inflated water balloon. This feeling dissipated as soon as the pain meds. Kicked back in. I will say that it would be best if you had someone saying with you for a few days after the procedure. I do not know what I would have done without the help of my boyfriend. The simple task of pulling up my pants and going to the restroom were difficult. I had the procedure done 2 days before Thanksgiving and I was able to go to Thanksgiving dinner and socialized. No one could even tell I had undergone a procedure. As long as I managed the pain, I felt like I could go about my normal activities.

I am almost 2 months post op and I am LOVING the results. I just got back into the gym and am slowly building up my strength. I would recommend Dr. Morea to all of my loved ones and couldn't be more thrilled with my results. I listened to Dr. Morea to a tee and everything has turned out better than I could have imagined.
