I just left my 6 week follow up appointment with Dr Bashioum, after having saline implants inserted. Like many women, I have wanted to have this surgery for years. After recently getting my body back in order after children, I decided to go ahead. I did a lot of my initial research online and spoke to a few women who had already undergone the procedure. I then started consultations. I went to a few different practices in the metro, but after my consultation in the Bashioum Center, I cancelled my other appointments.
The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout the process. Being in the medical field myself, I am more observant (and critical) of the patient experience, and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. The staff kept me well informed and made me feel comfortable to call with any questions or concerns. I was assisted with sizing and encouraged to size again closer to the surgery day to ensure the selection was right.
The day of surgery was calm and well organized. My Mother was with me, and although she does not thrive in a medical setting, she too was made to feel very comfortable. The surgery and recover went well. I was soon home and in less pain than I had anticipated. The follow up phone calls on the first night and day after were much appreciated.
I had no trouble during my recovery. I was nervous about the restrictions because I have two young children. But the staff prepared me for what my limitation would be, and I was able to have help in place. I am one of the lucky girls who seems to have picked the right size, because I was alarmed at the size when there was a lot of swelling. Everything has calmed down nicely and I could not be happier. I now feel like I have the thing that has been missing for so long – I am now the person I was meant to be. I am glad that I selected Dr Bashioum and would recommened him to my family or friends.

I had breast augmentation done at Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center back in July of 2010, after losing 90 pounds. After the weight loss, I ended up with saggy breasts. I was extremely pleased with the surgery and the way my breasts looked right after the procedure. But like many people, I wish I would of gone bigger. I guess at first when they are really swollen, they were huge. I loved that size, but when the swelling went down, I realized that I should have chosen a bigger implant size. Dr. Bashioum has various “sizers†available for patients to try on, but I underestimated how big I really wanted to be. He did EXACTLY what I asked him to do as far as size, but I just didn’t make the right decision on my part.
Dr. Bashioum did an amazing job and that is why I would like to go to him again. This is not uncommon, as other patients have mentioned this phenomenon on the blog. One of Dr. Bashioum’s patients also had difficulty deciding on size. In Melissa’s Blog, she wrote about how she wore different “sizers†for several days, to monitor reaction of others and to better understand what size she wanted to be after surgery.
So now I’m going to set up a consultation to consider changing my current implants for larger ones.
