I had my consultation with Dr. Cohen on 11/26/13 Monday. And booked my appt the next day. I was beyond impression. Let me paint the picture. His office is beautiful, everything is electronic and instead of the pictures on a photo album most doctors show. He has a touch screen computer monitor that show you pictures of different procedures he has completed, a step by step video on what your surgery will look like, and so much I can't remember all the categories. I was just so high tech. I was like a kid in a candy store. So he walks in. He was very friendly, professional, hands on lifted my sagging breast and showed me how it will look after he performs the lift and augmentation, he even drew it on a sheet of paper for me, plus he was dressed like he belonged in a GQ magazine. Very sharp!
I asked a million and one questions. I never felt rushed and he answered all of my questions and then some. Since I am a black woman. I am concerned about scarring. I was very impressed with his response. He said " I like performing surgery on African American women". He was confident in his work which made me also feel better. I requested to see more pictures of women who look like me. He then pulled up more pictures of black women on his computer, before/after pics, one day after surgery( his stitching method was impeccable it looked so precise and clean) 1 month and so on showing me how well they healed. I am a very detailed oriented person. And so is Dr. Cohen. I was impressed. I definitely see why he wins so many awards.????????????????
His assistant Christina was very friendly and helpful.
The silicon gel prosthetic breast I tried on fit like a glove. I have been to 3 other doctors for consultations and they had the round gel implant. That you put in a bra. And you really have to use your imagine of how this will look on you. We'll this prosthetic mold fit better and gave me a better impression of what my size will really be.
I will post pics so you can see the difference. I would like to be between 350 and 400. I would just like a full round natural bosom. ????

I want 425, too
December 4, 2013
It depends on the hour. I woke up at 2am thinking about it'. I'm excited and scared more so for the recovery lol you?
December 4, 2013
Lol. I am excited about the final outcome. I mean our PS has been winning awards consecutively for the last couple of years. So I have faith in him. But after reading every reviews on the first 3 days after surgery and how much pain they go though. I am trying to prepare myself for that.
December 4, 2013
The nurses said we will be fune with tylonol. I'm scared for thT too . They haven't called my Vicodin in yet which was weird cuz they called everything else in
December 6, 2013
Sorry to crash ur convo. But u will not be fine with tylenol. Lol. First 2-3 days r pretty bad.
December 6, 2013
I didnt get vicodin i got something else. Someone i met here told me to take the pain meds for 4 days and stop them. I followed her advice. I didnt really need them after that. Plus they constipate u. Lol. I actually dont remember then pain now. But i couldnt even feed myself after surgery and the next morning. haha.
December 6, 2013
Why couldn't u feed yourself? The pain/soreness? I def appreciate all your help! I know they constipated u! I'm taking magnesium citrate and miralax the day before , and I got prunes lol

@ Excited58. No its okay. I was also told some women can pass with Tylenol alone. And they don't need the Vicodene. Its good to know.
Thanks for your input.

I want mine like that, but a tiny bit smaller..
December 5, 2013
I think either of those sizes will look nice on you. At 425 I started shaking my head No. But that PS stated since I'm going under the muscle it will actually be smaller. But I was still unsure.
