WORTH IT
I am SO glad I went to Dr. Sajan. My self- esteem and body image have vastly improved since my surgery. I look good in clothes, and exercise so much more.
Within a year of my breast surgery I lost 20 pounds that I'd been carrying because I felt a bigger chest needed to be balanced by a bigger body. I can't believe how much my life has improved from one simple procedure.
THANK YOU @REALDRSESEATTLE!

Before I decided to go with Dr. Sajan for my procedure I met with 5 other surgeons. Dr. Sajan was far and away the most compassionate and knowledgeable about how to go about performing my tricky augmentation desires. Going in to our initial meeting, I knew that Dr. Sajan is one of the top 10 plastic surgeons in my area, and he was voted as the #1 plastic surgeon in several different local polls, however I didn't take those facts into consideration while making my decision, as I figured votes and polls are easily manipulated. However, the title of "Seattle's Best" is justly deserved by Dr. Sajan. I knew I wanted smaller breasts and I wanted them to be perky once again. After researching implants online I wanted to go with high profile silicone implants, around 200ccs, and under the muscle. Armed with this idea I met with several surgeons. One surgeon refused to perform the procedure on me, three wanted to remove my implants and let the large pockets decrease in size naturally before they would perform the surgery, and one said he could do it all at the same time, but the cost was nearly $12,000. Enter Dr. Sajan. Now, he had actually been the second surgeon I met with but I felt I needed to do my due diligence by meeting with several plastic surgeons before deciding upon one. He was on my list of doctors to meet with and by happenstance he had a Groupon for Botox offered (this was in December 2015). So, with my two-birds-one-stone frame of mind I made my appointment. After the injections I slid my desire of a breast re-do into the conversation and suggested an appointment for a consult later. Dr. Sajan let me know I was his last patient before lunch and he would happily give me a consult right then! I was really self-conscious about my breasts, but Dr. Sajan was compassionate but not pandering. He listened carefully to my ideas and was detailed in his explanation of what he though I should do. I am not a small framed woman, he said HP implants would not balance my body but would instead look too small. He also suggested that I would not be happy with 200cc implants because the size difference would be too dramatic, and again, my 5'6 170lb body would not look balanced with such small breasts. However, he did leave me with, "Whatever you decide you want is what I will do for you. So if you want small breasts I can do that. But I want you to walk away from your procedure happy with your results." The other doctors I met with really seemed to talk over me and dismiss my ideas. So that small reassurance and validation from Dr. Sajan was exactly what stuck with me to make my decision. *** Funny side story: After a visit with the fifth doctor who gave me a consul, Dr. W, the front office receptionist asked how my appointment went. I was frustrated and said, "He didn't listen to me at all." She apologized for my frustration and walked me out. Once out of the office she said, " Have you met with Dr. Sajan? He's who I would want." *** Anyway, to end this long tale, Dr. Sajan performed my surgery one month ago today. I decided to go with moderate plus, 400cc implants. My surgery was 8 hours long due to sewing up the large pocket, and Dr. Sajan's perfectionism. My breasts look incredible. My after-care impeccable. My worries are addressed and resolved within hours of letting his office know about them. I am so pleased that Dr. Sajan was my plastic surgeon- he really is #1 in Seattle.

I've attached a few gruesome photos. Note: after just one month my breasts are but at all bruised, and stitches are pretty well healed around nipple areas.

How you felling? It's painful?
Can you post before pics?
Thank you for sharing your story. Do you mind sharing exactly how many days after surgery the most "gruesome photos" as shown above were taken? The improvement in your photo update below is quite miraculous! How many days apart were they taken? It's very encouraging to see such an improvement…. Thanks again and wishing you the best!
If you click on the pictures it says how many days post-op they were taken. I think the worst day was day 6 because that is when my bruising was at it's worst and the scabs were still pretty bad! However, I am SO pleased with the results now that I am almost 2 months out.
Thanks. I just followed your instruction to see the dates. Once again your story is very encouraging... and your results look great!

Just curious did your PS also have to perform a capsulectomy (remove the old capsules) before putting in your new implants? If so that would explain the excessive bruising. I just had a similar surgery done ( implant exc with capsulectomy, and a lift). I was actually not expecting the capsulectomy. My surgeon didn't think I would need one until he got in there and discovered that my capsules had actually hardened. Apparently I have so much breast tissue that he could not tell by feeling from the outside. The bruising had me a little freaked out. It would've been much less were it not for the capsulectomy. Fortunately as of today the swelling has gone down considerably.
Nope, My larger pockets must have been pliable and easily clipped.
