Dr. Brown,
I wanted to let you know how incredibly happy I am with the results of my breast implant surgery. You truly are gifted as a skilled plastic surgeon. Thanks so much!!
The idea of breast augmentation had crossed my mind many times, but after hearing “horror stories” on tv or reading about them in magazines, I was scared and hesitant. Shortly before my wedding, I started exercising and lost around 15 lbs. I was very proud of myself. However, I went from a small 34B (in which I already felt small) to a 34A. It bothered me that I had to wear inserts and padded bras to feel comfortable with my appearance. With my husband’s support, I decided to go to a few breast augmentation consultations.
We tried to gather as much information about the breast augmentation procedure as possible before our visits. This was a huge decision for me and I was not going to go through with it unless I felt completely comfortable with the plastic surgeon. Dr. Brown was my very last consultation and I knew he would be my choice. He was patient, answered all my questions, and most importantly, was realistic about the procedure, recovery, and results. I have a small frame (5’2 1/2″, 110lbs) and it was important to me that my breasts compliment my figure. The photos of Dr. Brown’s previous breast augmentation patients were the most natural looking of all the plastic surgeons I visited. Most of all, after meeting Dr. Brown I felt CONFIDENT and SAFE in my decision to have breast augmentation.
The breast augmentation surgery went smoothly. In the past, I had problems with nausea after my appendix was removed because of the anesthesia and pain pills. Dr. Brown knew about this and precautions were taken. I did have slight nausea a couple of days after surgery, but Dr. Brown’s staff were extremely helpful and provided me with medication that immediately took care of it. The hardest part of the breast implant recovery was having limited use of my arms. It was helpful that my husband took off work for a couple days right after surgery to help me. Other than that, I was off pain pills and on Tylenol only 3 days after surgery, and I had no bruising at all! About one week after surgery I was pretty much back to my normal self. The recovery process from the breast implants was much easier than I expected!!
I am incredibly satisfied with my breasts and my decision to choose Dr. Brown. I am now a 34C. My incisions were submammary and are much smaller than I expected. I was relieved that they are not noticeable at all. While my breasts sat high at first, they have since dropped and feel like a natural part of “me.” In fact, when I saw a friend about a month after breast implant surgery, she said I looked great and asked if I had been exercising! What I most wanted was for others to notice that I looked great, not that I had breast implants–and with Dr. Brown I achieved that. I greatly appreciate his honesty, integrity, and skill. I would definitely do it all over again.
M.I.
