Melissa’s Blog: Getting Excited!
October 5th, 2010
I’m certainly getting excited. Nervous, not so much, because I know that I am in good hands with Dr. Bashioum. But I am definitely eager. I’m eager to see the way clothes will look on me. I have lots of questions about the final result and I am very interested in seeing whether I made the right decisions. Was saline the better for me over silicone? When the enlargement is completed, how does it feel? Did I choose the right size? Did I go too big or not big enough? I just simply cannot wait and wish the day were here already.
One of the toughest things I had to decide was what size I wanted to be. This may be easy for some people, but this was definitely not easy for me. I am a slight perfectionist and well, I only want to do this once, so I certainly wanted to be happy with the size I chose. I want to be able to say, “I didn’t go too big. I didn’t go too small, but rather like Golidlocks- just right! And no one can tell that I’ve had a breast augmentation.” In order to do that, I need to take a few things into account. The first this is my body stature. I’m 5’6″ and weigh 115 pounds. I want to chose a size that would balance well with my figure. I started with the largest sizing implants for consideration, which was 400cc. Boy did that make my husband and I laugh. In fact, we smiled the entire time I was trying on my “sizers.” With each sample size I tried on, I wore one of my favorite shirts. I even grabbed a swimsuit top when I thought we were getting close to deciding and we eventually did. We came to the conclusion that 275cc would be ideal for me, after taking my body frame into consideration and the fact that I am really active. I find enjoyment in running, working out and need to remember that my body has been use to these activities with a small chest, an A cup to be exact. But before I decided to go with 275, I took one last viewpoint into consideration. Dr. Bashioum tells patients that a significant number of his patients wished they were larger after their augmentation.
With that being said, 300cc… that’s my Final Answer.

Back in Nov 2009, I looked in the mirror and hated the way I looked. So I decided it was time for a lifestyle change. 85lbs lighter, 10 dress sizes smaller, and 2 bra sizes smaller. WHAT!!! I couldnt believe it. All that hard work and I lost my favorite asset. That’s when I started considering breast implants. I researched and researched untill finally a coworker and friend of mine told me she had it done 10yrs ago by Dr. Bashioum. She even showed me her 10yr old results and they still looked as perky as could be. In June I called to schedule a consultation. I talked to Dr. Bashioum about a possible lift with the implants because of the loss in volume from the weight loss. (They looked like a sock with a bar of soap just hanging there) 🙂 We did have the first surgery scheduled July. I got cold feet the week before surgery and called and canceled. I was just so terrified of the lift. I didnt do enough research on it to go through with it. All the staff at Dr Bashioum’s office were so understanding and told me that if I decided to go through with it, to make sure to consider them again. That right there meant alot to me. So again, after tons and tons of research I decided to give it another try. I scheduled my surgery for Sept 20th. We decided to just go with the implants this time. And if 6 months or longer down the road I decide to get the lift it can be done. This is the first surgery I have ever had so I was worried and excited at the same time. The day of surgery I was so relaxed. They make you feel so comfortable. And within a short time of arriving, I walked into the operating room and before you knew it- I was awake and recovering from surgery. Not much pain at all. I just mainly felt pressure. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. It has been 10 days since my Breast Augmentation. They still have swelling on top, but I love them. I have my big girl boobs again. I feel I’ve gotten that confidence back. Dr. Bashioum, you are amazing at what you do!!! Im am so greatful I went to Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center.
It’s changed my life. THANK YOU.
