Melissa’s Blog: Conclusion
June 8th, 2009
This has been an amazing experience. But first, I want to continue with the various reactions I received from friends and acquaintances. Four days following my surgery, after dropping my five year old daughter from school, I found myself surrounded by a group of women who had been following my story. They were simply intrigued by what they saw, my new enhanced chest. Those same women said they were happy for me and added how beautiful both my new “editions” and I looked. Let’s go back to the others that expressed their dismay towards having breast surgery. I saw them recently and they seemed to be a bit surprised by how I looked, even though I told them earlier that I wasn’t going that big. Regardless of that fact, they still showed some sort of astonishment at my rather modest choice. Many women believe, thanks to our society and the media, misinterpret a breast augmentation with going BIG. Think Pamela Anderson type breasts, with that sort of Las Vegas stripper look. Why not? Women are spending thousands of dollars and enduring surgery, why not get your money’s worth? I think thinking is where the saying, “Go Big or Go Home!” came from. I clearly did nothing of the sort. In fact, if I wasn’t such an open book, I think that besides my closest family and friends, no one would ever know I had breast surgery, simply because of the natural look I chose. I figured that taking my height, my weight and my athleticism into consideration, I now have a well-proportioned figure.
I am extremely happy with ALL my decisions that I made concerning my breast enlargement surgery. I am completely 100% satisfied with the size that I chose. I continue to feel at ease with the saline implant solution I decided upon. And I’m so fortunate to have had a successful and almost painless recovery, thanks to the care of Dr. Bashioum and his staff.
I hope that my personal patient blog will provide valuable insights and important information to those that are curious about breast augmentation surgery. Thank you for sharing my journey with me!
Melissa’s Blog: I Love Getting Dressed Now
June 5th, 2009
I am quite pleased with how I look now, if I might say so myself! And I’m beginning to think my friends are, too. Initially, I felt a little apprehension coming from a handful of women. Some were a bit judgmental about surgery, which I could understand. Some were also a bit taken back as to why I would want to compromise my body. As I explained, after bearing three children and breast feeding them all, I no longer had shape, nor much breast tissue left. I know that I am not alone in this predicament following pregnancy. It became hard for me to shop for bras and even harder for me to shop for tops. There is just so much I can handle buying XXS small tops, before feeling like a pre-teen girl again.
Well, I concluded this rather awkward discussion, once it became apparent that we each had our own personal viewpoints by offering, “I’m sharing my story on this blog for everyone to read.” I jotted down www.nipntuck.wordpress.com on a piece of paper for them to check out. “My intentions are to help educate women about breast augmentations. I want to show and tell others that there is another side to why women get breast enhancements, other than to look and feel like cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas.” So now after my surgery, I’m finding out that what some women deem as an appropriate breast size varies greatly.
