I can't say enough great things about Dr.Cho and his wonderful staff!! Let me start by saying as soon as I walked into the clinic the staff was very attentive, knowledgeable and made me feel right at home. The huge office building is very beautiful but the positive, caring energy from the sweet girls (especially Jill????) was even MORE beautiful???? And then I got the pleasure of meeting the amazing Dr. Cho! He immediately made me feel comfortable with his gentle and soft spoken nature. He was very knowledgeable on the procedure and breast size I was interested in and spent an adequate amount of time with me during both of my preOp appointments. I could go on and on...but let me make this short and sweet. *DR. CHO IS A BRILLANT PLASTIC SURGEON and a MASTER AT HIS CRAFT....and I have amazing new breasts to prove it! (See b/a pics!) His work shows in them....he was able to take large old saggy implants out, put in new 650cc larger implants and give me an internal breast lift without ANY visible scarring whatsoever! The results are profound and totally exceeded my expectations of firmer, less droopy looking breasts and nipples. I could not be happier!! I would (and have already!!) recommend Dr. AMAZING CHO (my new nickname for him;)) to anyone interested in enhancing any part of their body....ESPECIALLY the breasts! I would rate my whole experience as a perfect 10 and plan to be back in a year to get my nose done. :D
*Much love and many thanks to Mr. Cho and his incredible staff!!!!????????????????

I actually would have thought smaller just because they look so much more natural

Thank you! Yes, Dr. Cho was able to make them look more natural by keeping the natural sag of my breast prevalent even though he lifted the whole breast pocket with internal sutures during the surgery. It's still only been 10 days since my surgery and they feel and look huge but I know they will go down and soften up considerably in the near future! I will post monthly pics to show how different they look over time. I hope my review and these posts really help woman whom are considering having a similar procedure done in the future. *Be blessed

Thank you!!! I went from a 500cc implant (34D bra size) to a 650cc implant (which will make me a 36DD when the swelling goes down in a month or so. :) :)
I will post some pics then as well :D

*My original implants were 500cc's but as you can tell from the before pic that they were a bit deflated from 20yrs of my body absorbing the saline. Plus, I lost a little bit of weight and am much leaner from eating a Pescetarian diet for the last 5yrs. That explains the loose and sagging skin. I felt I had to go up to 650cc's, at least a full bra size, in order to fill up the loose cleavage skin without having to get an external breast lift that would leave visible scars on my nipples and lower breast area. They are only a week and three days old in the after pic and still super swollen. They should go down from the 36DDD size they are now to a 34DD in the next month or so Dr. Cho says :D

8 month postOp update :)

Ok...so it's been eight months since my surgery and a lot has happened. First of all, 4wks postOp I went back to work as a body sculpt therapist at the MedSpa I work at and unfortunately after just a week of strenuous upper body movement while sculpting the incision under my right breast tore open a bit (due to inflammation and swelling from repetitive movement is my guess) and it started to leak fluid. Then came the pain from infection uugh This happened over a weekend and I wasn't able to get in to see my doctor so he could see it back up for 3 days. There was a bad ALL around Houston and the roads were literally blocked for days! Infection set in and when I could finally make it to my doc he had to open up the incision to clean and sterilize the pocket before stitching me back up ALL while I was awake with just a local anesthetic into the area under my breast. Not comfortable at all, but Dr. Cho treated me and the stituation with complete care. I took a few more weeks off from work to heal while taking strong antibiotics to keep infection away.

*I meant that there was a bad FLOOD all round Houston that kept me from getting out to my doctors office to get the incision sewn up :) (I should have proof read!!) lol

8mos Update (continued)...

So after a few months of healing, approximately 5mos postOp, my left breast looked a felt beautiful and soft while my right breast still was tender to the touch, firm and very tight and slighter higher on my chest then my left breast. My 5 month postOp visit and examination at Dr. Cho's office revealed that the infection I battled caused capsular contracture in my right breast making it feel tight and look higher and more round then my left breast (see pic).

Since my breast still looked ok in clothes and even my bikinis I wasn't to worried about the slight difference in them. (More pics) My doc and I were hopeful that over time the capsule would loosen up and maybe the implant would fall into place looking more sysmetrical to the left...but unfortunately it just got worse.
