After breastfeeding both my girls, my breasts were smaller and saggier than ever before. I was wearing a 34A bra and very self-conscious about my almost non-existent breasts. They were also a bit asymmetrical which really bothered me as well. I’m 27 years old and since my husband and I were not planning on having any more kids, I thought it was the perfect time for me to do something for myself. I’m now 7 weeks post-op breast augmentation and EXTREMELY happy with my decision. I am very happy with the results thus far and I’m looking forward to the full 6-12 months healing and end results.
Dr. Bashioum and his staff were amazing before, during, and after my surgery. Dr. Bashioum was available to me on his personal cell whenever I had a question or concern, day or night. His staff made me feel very comfortable with the entire process, very warm and caring.
If I wanted to have any other kind of cosmetic surgery, I would definitely go back to Dr. Bashioum, no questions asked. Regarding my choice in size, I took his advice and went a size larger than I had originally chosen, and I’m so thankful I did!!! I’m now a 34D and my breasts are finally symmetrical! The first few days after surgery were pretty painful for me, but after about 2 weeks, and after the initial swelling went down, I was much more confident with the decision I had made. My husband thought I was perfect already before surgery, but knew that I really wanted this for myself, so he has been very supportive. He is also VERY happy with the results so far, as well.
I would recommend Dr. Bashioum and his staff to anyone who is interested in having cosmetic surgery – It’s life changing. A big thank you to everyone at the Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center!

When is the right time to have breast enlargement?
May 6th, 2013
When is the right time for me to have breast enlargement?
I am frequently asked when a patient should consider having cosmetic surgery more often than almost any other question. It is the most common question that I get from patients during an initial consultation. Whether it is for breast surgery, nose surgery, tummy tuck or facial rejuvenation: When is the right time seems to be an important concern. Generally speaking, a cosmetic surgery discussion might be in order when you are significantly bothered by a particular physical feature. However, there are specific considerations with each surgery.
Let’s talk about breast augmentation or enlargement. A young woman who is not done growing and breasts are not fully developed, is not a candidate for augmentation at this time. However, the surgery is appropriate for women in their early twenties or older women who have diminutive breasts and wish to be bigger. I also commonly see women with a loss of breast tissue after having children and notice that their breasts have gotten noticeably smaller.
According the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASPS), more than 300,000 women have traditional breast enlargement surgeries each year. Today there are three choices for breast enlargement surgery. Each option is unique and patients should fully understand their choices. Silicone implants and saline implants have been the main two choices for quite some time, but lipo fat transfer is now another choice to add breast volume. Fat transfer is an ideal choice for women preferring a more natural way to increase breast size, without the placement of implants.
