The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released the latest data collected for cosmetic surgery procedures in 2011. ASPS statistics represent procedures performed by ASPS member surgeons like me, who are board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. The Top 5 most popular procedures are breast enlargement, nose and eye surgery, liposuction and facelifts. Both breast enlargement and facelifts have shown a 5% uptick in popularity from 2010.
I have found that my practice routinely sees women seeking breast enlargement surgery, especially after they are finished having children. Several of my patients have shared their personal stories on our Nipntuck Blog about restoring their figures following breast-feeding. Over 300,000 women had breast surgery last year, many of them as part of this Mommy makeover. Our documentary about one such patient is entitled Restoring Jennifer is linked here and is also posted in the headings at the top of the page.

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.
