Take a look into my surgery

Before & After Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Here is a Before and After photo of my patient who had an Anti-Wrinkle Treatment with me

Part 6 of my Patient Endorsement

It's now been 10 days post op. From the minute I woke up I loved my new chest. They are so natural looking . They look and feel like they always should have been there. I still fit in a size 8 so half my wardrobe is still wearable, it just looks better, I don't feel fat as my body shape is so in proportion and most importantly I don't feel like I'm going to go face down, down the stairs!

I haven't started wearing a bra yet or exercising, that'll come in a few weeks but I already know there won't be any issues. They're perfect, plain and simple.

So for the philosophy of if you don't like something then make a change I think it holds great value. Self esteem and confidence can be improved by changing the way you look. It's not vanity, it's the ability to match how you feel on the inside to your outside. It's already made an impact for me.

Oh and I also go by the phrase 'fake it till you make it'. Seems quite fitting now!

Part 5 of my Patient Endorsement

I hadn't really thought about the pain, or if there'd be swelling or bruising. Or abut how I'd be limited in doing things like dressing in certain clothes or doing housework. Of course I was told all this beforehand but never really thought much about it.

I took pain medication over the weekend, but only at night to help me sleep. I'm a restless sleeper and didn't want to be rolling around. I was a bit sore, not the girls, but my ribs. I was warned I'd have fluid on my belly for awhile and that's what made my ribs hurt. That was the most unpleasant part of the whole experience, having extra fluid on your stomach, not a feeling I was used to. Also feeling it swish around as you walk. Urgh makes me shudder even now! I don't feel like I've had surgery as there was no bruising and only small amounts of pain and discomfort. I feel like I've been doing heaps of push ups, that's it. I'm a bit tender to the touch as the feeling comes back but in general I'm surprised how minimal the post surgery down time is. I feel like I could go to the gym now and it's only that I'm older and wiser that I haven't (I'm only 29 but even 5 years ago I would have thought I was invincible and worked out against doctors orders - and then of course have required more surgery to fix the problems I would likely have caused).

The whole experience was amazing. 

From the first consultation, to the hospital whose staff were so friendly and caring. 

Dr Rastogi held my hand till I fell asleep which was very comforting. 

I went in for surgery on a Friday and went back to work on Monday. 

One thing I loved about Dr Rastogi's technique was that it is a one day off work procedure (if you're an office worker). 

Work was ridiculously crazy at the time, so to even have one day off was difficult (I called in sick and actually worked from home that afternoon when I left the hospital). 

Every other person I know or have heard of has required two weeks off and had to have drainage or support bras. With Dr Rastogi you don't need any of that.

Eventually I decided to visit a surgeon to get some more facts and see how I'd feel about the whole thing once I'd spoken to someone. 

I went to Dr Rastogi on a recommendation of a friend of a friend who had seen him the previous year. Walking in I was still unconvinced about going through with surgery, this was simply a fact finding mission. 

Instantly Dr Rastogi made me feel safe, secure and at ease whilst discussing my concerns and the effects on my body. 

He walked me through the entire procedure and tested various implants to find a size and style that would suit my body for a natural look.

Honestly, I left that appointment still not convinced. I mean surgery, really! How silly! Within a week though I had decided to go for it and within a month I had my new pair of boobs. 

Part 2 of my Patient Endorsement

Getting surgery was something I had thought about often but I didn't feel that being flat chested was a big enough deal to go through with surgery. I mean look at Kate Hudson, I had more than her and she looks amazing being a surfboard! 

I was worried about how much my body shape would change. When I wore a really good push up bra sometimes I'd feel fat and top heavy. Would I feel like that all the time, if I went through with surgery? Also I didn't want to look like I had two balloons stuck to my chest and be really out of proportion. Besides the body issues I also worried about not being able to lie on my stomach and get massages or play sport. Of course the logic that there are many girls with very large breasts who go to the gym or play sport didn't make me feel better because what if it was a hindrance to me. 

The other stupid thing that I used to say in jest but actually went through my mind was how one day, when walking down the stairs from the last row at the MCG I commented that you wouldn't want to be top heavy as the steps are so steep you could easily fall forward. 

What if that happened for real! Stupid things to worry about but they were concerns all the same.
