Since I was a teenager I have always wanted larger...

Since I was a teenager I have always wanted larger boobs, and was envious of my sisters and girlfriends who had them. Back in my day, I'd go to the local bars and they'd have "wet t-shirt" contests and I always wanted to be one of those girls who could look sexy in a t-shirt, not look like a boy. As I aged and the natural progression of gaining weight, I did, in fact, go from an A-cup to a small B. Then came the "miracle bra" which did much to enhance the looks of my cleavage. But I always felt "confined" and wanted to just go braless with big boobs. I never went through with the dream and have surgery back then, because I knew girls who DID and they were in excruciating pain, and had to be wrapped with a special bra, etc. One day I was at a party with old school friends and ran into this girl who was on the smaller side but had perfect breasts. I asked the personal question of "did you get a boob-job?" She said yes, in fact she did. I told her I always wanted to but was afraid of the pain and recovery. She told me that she went to Dr. Mark Epstein and in her words: "He's a Genius!" She said she was back at work immediately after surgery and took nothing for pain except Ibuprofen. I found that very hard to believe so I HAD to meet with this Dr. Epstein. I immediately called for a consultation and he answered all my questions with patience and confidence. He assured me that I would be walking around the mall the night of my surgery, having dinner, and when I asked him if I'd never be able to sleep on my stomach again, he told me one of the exercises in my one day-recovery was that very night I would lay on my breasts for about 15 minutes (which I thought was crazy!) Dr. Mark Epstein had a 3-D Vectra system which took my actual body and enhanced my breasts not by "C" or "D" cup, but by measurements to what would look best on me (i.e. I have broad shoulders, a slightly smaller waist, and larger hips. He guaranteed me that I would not be walking out of that recovery room without lifting my arms straight in the air. Of course, I was very excited about this although I naturally was a bit frightened, after wanting this for so many years and then deciding to do this at almost 47 years old. At the time of my consultation there was a promotion with the Allergan (makers of the implants that I chose -- which were silicone) and I got a $1,000 discount if I booked before a certain deadline, but still had time to have surgery at a date of my choice. Needless to say, I swiped my credit card with the downpayment and went home and told my husband. I scheduled the surgery for June 16th in 2010 and my husband came in and met with the doctor. He asked him what he would give me for pain (I have a very low tolerance for pain) and Dr. Epstein said "Ibuprofen". My husband said, "no way ... she cannot just take Motrin". Dr. Epstein explained that if I were to take any other pain pill it would disguise what I MIGHT think is pain and prolong the healing process. Dr. Epstein was right. He IS a Genius! I never took anything more than Ibuprofen, and I was out at the bar where I work that very same night showing off my new boobs!! There was NO downtime, maybe one day where I needed to adjust feeling strange with my new body. But I have never regretted it and they are so natural looking that people who didn't know me before do not know that I've had them enhanced! When I tell some men they are very surprised. The women all compliment me on my breasts and I feel sexier and can now wear all those little t-shirts I wanted to as a teenager and in my 20's. I must say, being a bartender, I do show them off and wear low-cut shirts and sexy dresses that I was never able to because I was too small-breasted through my 20's and 30's. I have people asking me to this day what doctor I went to, because they heard that I was out and about the very day of surgery showing off my beautiful breasts. Dr. Mark Epstein is amazing, and his staff is pretty cool, too. I recommend Dr. Mark Epstein @ Epstein Plastic Surgery to all who compliment me on my breasts. This guy friend loved the look of my breasts so much that he just brought his girlfriend to get hers done last week! Everybody says I have the best boob-job they have ever seen on ANYONE! Dr. Mark Epstein is THE doctor to go to for a painless, one-day recovery and nicest, most natural looking boobs ever!

Dr. Mark Epstein is the best at what he does. Whenever I had questions (even prior to my surgery) he took my phone call right away and even gave me his cell # after my surgery in case I had any concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Epstein if you are considering Breast Augmentation.
