Q & A

What motivated you to get breast augmentation surgery?

I had always wanted it. Growing up, I was always self-conscious about having small breasts. I remember my mom had her breast augmentation done, and I thought, 'I want that.' It was something I had always hoped to do by the time I turned 21.

How did you decide on the right surgeon for your breast augmentation?

I did a lot of research before deciding. I found Dr. Winerack in Scottsdale, Arizona, and after checking reviews and seeing his credentials, I felt comfortable choosing him. His office was clean, professional, and organized, which helped me feel confident in my decision.

How was your recovery process after the surgery?

The recovery was surprisingly smooth. I didn’t need strong painkillers; just ibuprofen worked for me. I took about three weeks off work, but honestly, after a week, I felt mostly back to normal. The only issue I had was some soreness in my right side, which was likely from work, but overall, the process was easy.

Did you experience any complications after the surgery?

I didn't really experience any major complications. The soreness in my right side was the only issue I had, but it was nothing serious. Overall, the recovery was pretty smooth.

How did you decide on the implant size?

I was torn between 325cc and 350cc, but I ultimately chose 350cc. I wanted them to look natural yet have enough size to make a noticeable difference. I didn’t want them to be too big or too small. It was important to me that they fit well with my body type.

How does your body type affect the final result of the surgery?

Your body shape really impacts how the implants look. For example, some women naturally have more cleavage due to their body structure, but I don't, so my implants don’t give me as much cleavage as I expected. It’s important to consider your body type when choosing implant size.

Did you experience any numbness or loss of sensation after the surgery?

Yes, after the surgery, I didn’t have much feeling in my nipples. It’s been about four months now, and I still can’t feel them fully. It’s normal for some people to experience this, but the sensation may return over time.

How did your doctor assist you during the recovery process?

My doctor was really helpful. When I had some concerns about soreness, I emailed him, and he called me right away to reassure me and provide advice. He even offered to check things out in person if I was still worried. I really appreciated his responsiveness.

What was the total cost of your breast augmentation surgery?

The surgery cost me just over $6,000. I believe I paid a bit more because I opted for gel implants, which tend to be more expensive. The cost can vary based on the type of implants and the surgeon you choose.

Do you think the procedure was worth the cost?

Absolutely. I’m so happy with the results, and it has made a huge difference in my confidence. Even though it was a significant expense, I feel it was worth every penny.
