I had breast enlargement surgery about two years ago now and it was the nicest thing I've ever done for myself. I was a very overweight girl and I had D-cup breasts until I lost the weight. I had ended up with an A-cup and I was devastated. I still had loose skin and my breasts closely resembled pancakes sitting on my chest. I started looking into breast enlargement.
I read about it and what to expect and look for in a surgeon and interviewed a few surgeons until I found the right man for the job. I still had plenty of curves on the rest of my body and really wanted my chest to match and make me look more symetrical, but I also didn't want them to look Pamela Anderson fake.
The whole experience was great, I had a very honest and caring surgeon and I had absolutely no complications whatsoever. My implants are sub-muscular and they are very soft, yet round and lifted. I had my surgery on a Monday and I was back in the gym doing cycling and training my lower body by Thursday. I am a D-cup again and I feel great! My husband was supportive and really just wanted me to feel good about myself. My advice to anyone is do your homework, find a surgeon that you like and trust and do it for you and enjoy!
