I had my breast augmentation done almost two years ago now. Breast augmentation was something I had thought about doing for a long time. After having four kids in seven years, I was not happy at all with how my breasts looked and knew that breast augmentation surgery was a choice for me.
We heard about Dr. Bashioum on the KQRS morning show and decided to at least go have a consultation with him. I could not have been more impressed with Dr. Bashioum and his staff. They were some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They took time to explain everything to us, were honest, and answered any question my husband or I had.
After my consultation I knew this was the only place I wanted to have my breast augmentation done. I could not have been happier with the results of my surgery. My confidence went up and I loved the way my breasts looked in the shirts and swimsuits that I would never worn earlier because I felt too self-conscious in before.
This fall when Sandy called to ask me if I would like be a part of the Las Vegas KQ live broadcast, I was so excited! My husband and I had always wanted to go, and I knew Dr. Bashioum was a part of the show every year. I never in a million years thought they would ask me to participate! The entire experience was amazing. I was a little bit nervous at first, but it ended up being more fun than I ever expected! I even took part in the sexiest costume contest and won 2nd place ($500)! I want to say thank you to KQ and all of Dr. Bashioum’s staff, especially Sandy, for a great experience. I was honored to be there with you this year.
Facelift Before a Cruise?
November 7th, 2011
My husband and I are going on a cruise for New Year’s, is it too late to get a facelift?
Modern facelift techniques have a relatively short recovery period, so most patients are out and about in six to seven days after surgery. However, the initial swelling and healing period following the surgery lasts for about 6 to 8 weeks. Assuming you are a good candidate for surgery, having the surgery now provides adequate recovery time for recovery before traveling.
It is important to remember a couple of things. First of all, it is never wise to plan elective surgery too close to a big event because there is often significant stress involved. Adequate preparation time for surgery and recovery help alleviate this added stress. We have several of my patients who wrote blog diaries about their own experience having a facelift. Use our Search Feature at the bottom right side of the page to read them, some include actual surgery footage.
Secondly, it is your responsibility to follow before and after instructions carefully for facelift surgery. A smooth recovery often rests on patients following doctor’s orders following surgery. The detailed instructions that I give to my patients are designed to reduce the risks of complications and offer the best insurance for a speedy recovery. Finally, completing facelift surgery at least 6 to 8 weeks before any big event, will enable you to look and feel your best. Allowing plenty of time for recovery assures a natural and rejuvenated look, so you will look and feel great in time for the New Year’s Eve toast on the ship!
