Breast Augmentation - Small Frame with Large Implants - San Diego, CA

WORTH IT$5,500

I wanted to feel more like a girl. I had low self-esteem due to the fact I had smaller breasts and I felt like a boy in a bathing suit and in some shirts. I no longer feel like that.

I wanted breast implants for the past 8 years but I was always too nervous to meet with a doctor and go through the surgery. The reason behind getting breast augmentation was due to fact I have always very small breasts since I have an active person.  I have a small frame and wanted large breast implants. I never thought a doctor would be able to do that for me until I met Dr. Pousti.

I am exactly two weeks post op today and I have feeling great and I am also healing very well.  I was in pain mainly for the first two days and took pain medication only during that time.  I expected to be in a lot more pain than I was.  I have no pain at all now.  I am still adjusting to seeing myself with larger breasts, I went from an A cup to a large D cup.  I am still wearing the surgical bra for two more weeks then a sports bra for 4 weeks after that.  I have another follow up appointment in a month.  This whole experience has been great :)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience here on RealSelf! Do you think having larger implants will affect your activity level?

No, I have already been working out and they do not seem to be an issue at all :)
