TMO's Story

Nearly 5 years ago, I had a reduction and lift which improved my appearance a great deal (made me look 10 lbs. lighter!). Although the surgery was successful and I was more pleased then I ever had been, still it was not quite right. My breasts were not as firm as I thought they should be due to my extra skin in that area. So for the first time, I seriously considered having an augmentation.

It seemed almost ridiculous to me to have had a reduction and then turn right around and have implants! But after consulting with the doctor, I was confident that this was the direction I wanted to go.

I had previous surgeries before this one last year, but was a little concerned and nervous about what it was going to feel like the implants were in. It seemed that having something foreign placed into my body would be uncomfortable and strange.

We proceeded with the surgery, and amazingly enough, I felt great when I woke up from the procedure. There was some discomfort, but nothing compared to the horror stories I had heard from others. I was actually cutting-up with the nurse and staff during my recovery period! In just a matter of days, I was back to my regular routine and was not in much pain after the surgery. (Drugs are our friends)! Basically, after the first couple of days, I started taking Extra Strength Tylenol instead of the pain medication prescribed. There was just one restriction after surgery and that was not to lift anything heavy for 6 weeks.

It has been months since my surgery. The scars have disappeared, I have no limitations and I can even sleep on my stomach! The most amazing thing to me is that my breasts do not feel like anything has been added, they just look great!

My younger friends are quite envious of my younger figure since this surgery! The best thing about my augmentation is they look real, not fake! This is a bonus for me. People assume they are mine! I encourage anyone considering an augmentation to have a consultation with the doctor. They will answer any and all questions and educate you on the procedure. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made!
