I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the results!! I was a little apprehensive, not about the surgery, but more about what size to go.
I knew the pain ( if there was any) would go away, but the size would stay with me. I decided the morning of surgery and have no regrets!
The recovery was amazing. I was up and around the next day and had absolutely no pain!! It was uncomfortable, but just the tightness in my chest muscles…I still can’t believe it was just two weeks ago!
I want to thank EVERYONE at the clinic and Dr. Bashioum, they were wonderful. They told me exactly what to expect during my recovery and were spot on. My mom came with me the day of surgery and was very impressed with the care I received and the instructions that she was given to help me after my surgery.
I can’t say enough about the ‘family’ at Dr. Bashioum’s clinic. I have been telling all my friends to go there if they have anything about themselves they want to be ‘tweaked.’
Thank you!
Mommy Make-over: Breasts

Most of the women that come to me for consultations about breast surgery following pregnancy complain that their breast size or shape has changed. Physical changes may occur even in the absence of breast-feeding. Click on Documentary Film “Restoring Jennifer” at the top of the page to see the personal story of a young woman’s journey to restore her figure.
Patients often report that there is reduced fullness on the top of their breasts, just above the nipple, along with a general dissatisfaction in loss of breast size. The decreased fullness may be interpreted as sagging or a loss of “perkiness.”
 The most common concern that I hear is the complaint of overall diminished breast size after pregnancy.
Augmentation mammoplasty or breast enlargement surgery is the primary procedure that is used to restore breasts following pregnancy. According to the The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), about 312,000 breast enlargement surgeries were performed last year, making it the most requested cosmetic surgery. However, there are no specific statistics about how many women chose the surgery as part of a “Mommy Make-over.â€
