Top 5 Body Complaints: #1-Breasts too Small
October 28th, 2010
Without a doubt, this is the most common body part complaint I hear. Nationwide women express their sensitivities about their diminutive breast size to plastic surgeons. Breast enlargement surgery is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure in the US according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, ASPS. I find this true in my own practice, as well.
Current simplified surgery makes breast enlargement a straight forward procedure. Through an inconspicuous 3/4 inch incision, a breast implant can be placed beneath the pectoralis muscle. Size is determined by the patient. Most of my patients have their pain controlled with a combination of Celebrex and Tylenol. No drains or tubes are necessary. I suggest not wearing a bra for about a week, in an effort to further reduce pain. Breast augmentation surgery is a commonly requested procedure for the Mommy make-overs. Patients often report a greater sense of positive body image and confidence following this surgery.

The day we bought our house was the day that I became a very lucky girl, because along with my dream home, came a plastic surgeon right across the street. I always told my friends, “One day I’m going to see that Doctor. When, I didn’t know- but definitely after I get done having kids. In the meantime, I’m going to work out this padded bra solution and my ever-so-reliable “chicken cutlets” that I bought, by the way for $65, and I am going to find me some cleavage!”
The cutlets, some refer to them as falsies, are instantaneous cleavage enhancers. They’re squishy, flesh colored inserts that I wore in my bra to give me the shape I needed in a second. They gave me a fuller and very convincing look to perfectly compliment the shirt I was wearing. But it was all just temporary, especially in the bedroom, where I absolutely wanted to feel my most sexy! I’m a woman, just stepping into my 30’s, sexy is everything to me! I’ve worn my enhancers for 5 years, not everyday, but let’s say more times than not. And it wasn’t too long ago that I actually lost them, thanks to the help from my lovely children, who found excitement in playing with them. I was totally bummed when I realized they got left behind at a hotel we were previously staying at. Boy was I sad, I felt like I had lost a great friend.
This episode gave me a reason to pursue a more permanent solution, a breast augmentation. My husband and I played around with the idea for 3 months, and just recently booked my consultation appointment with Dr. Bashioum. I don’t often times play “tit for tat” (pun intended!) like I did with the new television, but actually, it illustrates a perfect analogy. Just as much as you like watching a movie on a high def 52″ television, don’t forget the ultimate surround sound, I too, enjoy looking in the mirror at a young confident mother of 3 in Hi- Definition! So it was decided that we would both get our cake and eat it too! My views on breast augmentation have become more open and much more accepting. I have even scheduled my surgery already and I am confident that I will be in good care with Dr. Bashioum and his staff.
