Breast Augmentation Because I Wanted To.... - Toronto, ON

ORIGINAL POST

I am not exactly sure why I had breast...

WORTH IT$8,500
I am not exactly sure why I had breast augmentation surgery. I do know I am not perfect. I am not blessed with great genes. My father is diabetic and my mother has hypothyroidism. Both were recently diagnosed with cancer. I am of Italian decent with a cultural disposition to a “certain” body type. In a nutshell, my odds are not good.
So, I work hard every day at nurturing my mind, body and spirit to find a balance and serenity to face the things in my life. I work hard to compliment my genetic strengths and even harder at defying my genetic weaknesses.
As a teenager, I struggled with an eating disorder. Somehow, I was one of the lucky ones and dug myself out of that abyss. I don’t know how or what precipitated my desire to kick it, but at 15 years old and 82 lbs, I saved myself from sure death. I got a grip and let go of all the insecurities and fears that made me hate myself. I knew I had to; I knew I wanted to.
Now, at 41 I feel I have done the best with my God given gifts. I am petite, fit and happy. No one or nothing will take me back to those dark days of self hate. Everyone in my life is a positive influence; I choose it to be that way. No one -past or present- has ever made me feel inadequate about myself or my body. My friends and family love me for the authentic person they (and I) know me to be.
I am not shallow, narcissistic or superficial. I do appreciate beautiful things and while I did and could have had a completely fulfilling life without breast augmentation, I did this for me and because of me. My decision to have breast augmentation isn’t about achieving perfection. For me it has been about continuing on the path of authenticity to myself and my wishes and desires. It is my body and therefore, my choice. I did it simply because I can and because I wanted to. And to me that is good reason enough.

Ladies, if you are looking for the BEST breast augmentation experience, look no further than Dr. Ryan Neinstein. My search for the perfect surgeon was a long and arduous one. I searched online and in person for years and I felt I could not make a decision. And now I know why. I was looking for a doctor who could provide a professional assessment that perfectly balanced technical knowledge, an appreciation of a proportionate female aesthetic and accurately reflected my personal goals. I was looking for a doctor who would PERSONALLY listen and advise; one who would be as genuinely and meticulously concerned with this elective morphing my body as I was. Turns out, I was looking for Dr. Neinstein. The first consult with Dr. Neinstein was the most comprehensive I had with anyone. iPad in hand, he presented point of incision/insertion options and showed me images so I had a very clear understanding of the invasiveness of each of the options. He discussed the pros and cons of the implant material (saline/silicone) and had sample implants present so I could touch and try (that was fun). I got to feel the textures and consistency and was informed on the two types of profiles of implants. We discussed implant placement – under or over the muscle –and how each would affect my mobility and recovery time. And obviously, we discussed the size, as my new breasts would have to respect my petite frame and of course, lifestyle. To decide on the“ ideal” size, Dr. Neinstein was fastidious with questions about me. He inquired about my overall physical health, medical history and fitness habits and routines. In the most supportive and genuine manner, Dr. Neinstein also inquired about my motivations and reasons, including psychological and emotional, for breast augmentation. He carefully evaluated all aspects of our conversation and ultimately, we collaboratively agreed on the size. After our meeting, I felt I had both realistic and achievable expectations. At the second pre-op consult, Dr, Neinstein thoroughly explained the surgery day and procedure in detail. All the paperwork was clear, concise and formalized all aspects of our previous verbal communications. All required medications were prescribed and he thoroughly explained the what, where, when and why of each. He gave me ample time and opportunity to ask or review anything that was unclear to me. He also offered non –traditional medicine (natural remedies) that would assist with recovery both pre and post op. I was excited and nervous on the day of the surgery. Upon my arrival, I met the assisting medical team who were all welcoming and warm and the facility was more like a spa than an OR. Dr. Neinstein was punctual and the preparation was painless and expeditious. Dr. Neinstein’s bedside manner was as comforting as his corporate manner was professional. He was the last person I saw when I fell asleep assuring me I was in very capable hands. Clearly I have no recollection of how long it took but from the moment I woke up, every experience while new, was not a surprise. He explained the incision, post operative feeling, the bruising, the nausea and the pain in such detail, I never for an instant, felt like anything was amiss. The next day I felt like I could resume my normal activities. I had very little pain (only took painkillers for one day), no bruising (Arnica obviously helped) and as I write this three weeks post op, my stitches have dissolved, there is no scab around my aereola and the incision is virtually invisible. It is truly like nothing happened, except I have larger, proportionate (and amazing) breasts. The most positive aspect of this experience has been the rapport Dr. Neinstein maintained throughout. He was diligently attentive, meticulously responsive and tirelessly available through text, email or phone whenever I needed, even with my most trivial of concerns. While everyone’s idea of perfect is different, I feel my breasts are as perfect as I had imagined them. Thanks to Dr. Neinstein my breasts are –for me- the perfect shape, size and profile. They enhance my overall look, I feel great in clothes and they feel and look remarkably natural. From start to end, the entire experience with Dr. Neinstein has been absolutely flawless. Look no further!!!!!

Hello. I just wanted to say that you sound like a beautiful intelligent and very strong woman. One who I hope many will look up to and maybe use this piece to help others. Your review of your doctor was uncanny. One of the best I have read and I'm sure anyone who is in your area will surely want a consult with your PS. The only thing that could possibly make this better are pictures. Of course all woman love to look at potentials and to try and relate themselves to someone who has had the surgery and looks similar to them so that they can imagine the same results are possible or to take with them to their own PS as a wish pic and reference to what would also be their perfect image. But even so, you are amazing and I applaud you on your brave decision. Congratulations on your happiness and even though we have never met, I am so very proud of you. As a woman who is in her very early twenties and has a daughter of her own, I look up to you. Thank you.
