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.

Meliss’a Blog: Howdy Neighbor!
September 29th, 2010
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.
