I decided on breast augmentation because I have always been insecure about my breast. I am 5'1" and 115lbs, currently wear a 32-34 A cup. I went to many plastic surgeons for consultation and even made an appointment for surgery with one doctor but cancel the day before surgery because I didn't feel comfortable in the end with him. I found Dr. Berkowitz through a coworker/friend of mine. Dr. Berkowitz is confident and has been doing cosmetic surgery for more than 30 years so I felt very confident in his work. We went over several different CC sizes and we eventually came to the decision of 370cc Sientra Classic Shaped Textured implants. I did not want to look unnatural so the shape implants offer more of a natural look I was looking for. However,I went back and forth with the 370-400cc size but Dr.B believed it would be to large for my size.

I just had surgery on 6/24/16 and I have the gummy bears also. One breast was larger so my right is 435cc and the left is 385; looking for a full D. Looking at your pics mines look exactly like yours the a few days after surgery which was a relief to see. I'm on day 4 and they have soften but have not drop. Again it's good to see yours have and that too makes me feel better. Please keep updating you progress it's helping me a lot.

Postop

AmberDDDJune 25, 2016

The first night of surgery was a blur. The percocet that Dr. Berkowitz order for me kept my pain level low but on a pain scale 0-10, I think I was constantly at 5 to 6 when awake. I did not want to overdo it with the pain medicine for fear of constipation.
By the first day postop I was walking around (from bed to couch) but was very sore.
I highly recommend investing in a recline pillow because you will not be able to lay flat for at least 1 wk (well at least for me).
Second day postop, I was allowed to shower which was great. During that time I examined my breast and they felt so tight and firm. They did not really feel like they was part of my body when I touched them. Because of that I really did not like to touch them during the initial recovery phase.
