Boobs Went from Saggy to Impeccable! - Santa Rosa, CA

So a little back story, I never had large breasts...

So a little back story, I never had large breasts to begin with (34 B-small C cup) but when I had my first child they filled up with so much milk I went to 36 DD+! So they looked crazy awesome for a quick moment, but after nursing they quickly retracted to their prior size... but without all the cute perkiness they once had :(

So two babies later at 27 years old I knew I wanted a breast augmentation, as I didn't deserve two breasts that looked like fried eggs on sticks (yea visualize that, not hot)! That being said I had been hearing fabulous things about Dr. Marcus for years; as he has worked his magic on some of my family & friends, so there was no question that I would be going to him.

Once I had my consultation, I explained what look I wanted to achieve and he suggested a textured shaped silicone implant that I think was 425cc and quickly after we set a date for surgery. Fast forward to surgery day, he and the anesthesiologist made me feel very comfortable and when I awoke I asked, "when are we going to start the procedure?" to my surprise we were already done and I looked down and saw the most perfect set of breasts I have ever seen, AND THEY WERE MINE!!!! To emphasize how happy I am with the results, I even cried the next day due to the sheer joy and immediate confidence I regained.

Recovery has so far been easy, I am two week post-op and the incision line under my breast is healing nicely and I honestly couldn't be happier. They look so natural, no one would ever know I had the procedure done except for the fact that I told many of my friends who have all marveled at how superb they look.

I didn't sign the paperwork saying that I would allow my photos to be shared; but based on the wonderful results and how this surgery has given me such a profound improvement physically and emotionally I will provide the before & after photos in hopes it will help someone else (all the little band-aids are from moles I had removed).
Lastly I want to note how wonderful the anesthesiologist was, she called the night before the surgery to touch base and to see if I had any questions and again the day after surgery which I thought was very thoughtful.

It's nice you had a doctor referral from your family and friends. Sometimes finding the right doctor is half the battle. Thank you for sharing your before and after photos. It is so helpful for other women to find pre-op breasts that are similar to their own breasts, when doing surgery research. I think it's awesome you were able to get some moles removed too...great idea. Congratulations!

Your results are gorgeous! Congratulations!!! They look so natural and great. I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly! LOL @ fried eggs on sticks....I usually say floppy dead snakes, but I think the egg analogy is even better haha. Are you kids still little? I have a 2yo and I'm anticipating recovery what recovery will be like with a toddler!

Thank you! Recovery has still been smooth sailing. I have a 6 year old and 1 1/2 year old and it wasn't as difficult as I thought. I had help the first 3 days, since I couldn't lift the little one that easy, but by the 4th day I felt find lifting her (I wouldn't do a dead lift, I would kind of prop her up on my leg first and then pick her up... hope that makes sense).

Wow... Dr Markus does amazing work! You look wonderful! I wish I lived in Santa Rosa. He has been on my radar as a possible surgeon because I've seen his work on this site. I would travel there for surgery, but I'm worried the after care that would be needed would have to be performed by another doctor in LA.
