Hi Everyone –

Check out the video below with information from my breast implants follow up visit!  It has been a week since my breast augmentation surgery and I had an appointment with Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon, Dr. Wigoda today.  He examined me and removed my stitches, which took about fifteen minutes.  Then we talked about the next steps of my breast augmentation recovery.  Nothing major, just that now, I am allowed to sleep on my side instead of only on my back (one step closer to the way I normally sleep).

As you will see in the video below – I am wearing a sports bra and have been instructed to do so (or go bra-less) for the next few months.  According to Dr. Wigoda, wearing the sports bra is a precaution after the surgery, to make sure that everything heals properly.

What can I say, I love my breasts and I’m looking forward to filling out all my new tops and dresses!

Check in next week to see the before and after photos!

Well here I am, five days after my breast augmentation surgery and I am feeling fantastic! Dr. Wigoda and his staff did an amazing job and I want to thank them all for their great work. The breast implant surgery was easier than I ever expected and I almost feel silly for the concerns about the appearance of breast implants that I had last week.

Immediately after the surgery I was tired from the anesthesia and couldn’t feel much but after a few hours I was able to walk around and eat like normal.  My breasts were sore, but I had no significant pain at all!  Overall, Dr. Wigoda has been really caring about my surgery – he knew how nervous I was. He even came to visit me on Saturday to make sure everything was healing properly and that the stitches were in place. So far, I could not be more pleased with my results.  If you or anyone you know in the Miami or Fort Lauderdale area is looking for a breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Wigoda is definitely the way to go!

Finally, I’m sure you’re all wondering – well, how do they look?  And I must say, they are perfect.  Although my breasts are still wrapped in bandages, and I am not allowed to sleep on my stomach or side – it was worth it!

I will keep you posted.

So today is the day for my breast augmentation surgery!  I woke up this morning feeling prepared and excited.  I’ve put on some comfortable clothes and am ready to head out the door to meet with Dr. Wigoda and his staff. First I will meet with the doctor at his Fort Lauderdale plastic surgery location, and then speak with the anesthesiologist for any final questions before the breast implant procedure.

I am so excited; I can hardly wait!  I want to share with you all the details of my breast augmentation procedure but I’m not a plastic surgeon – sooo, check out the video of Dr. Wigoda below, speaking about my breast implant surgery options.

Enjoy your weekend!
I will follow up next with on the “whole new me!”

Hello,

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  The breast augmentation date is approaching faster-than-ever and I wanted to share with you a few of my concerns.  This Friday, I am having my breasts done by Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon, Dr. Wigoda and with his guidance; I’ve decided to go from an A-cup to a C-cup.

As I mentioned last week, my initial concern was about the future of my body and whether or not I’d be able to breast-feed after my breast implants (since I’m only 23, I’m not yet too concerned about babies, but I know I will be down the line!). Dr. Wigoda assured me that everything would function as normal after the surgery.

The other concern I had prior to my breast augmentation consultation was that my breasts might look fake or too “stacked,” up in the air. I discussed this with Dr. Wigoda, he was actually nice enough to talk to me over the phone, and explained that because we are putting the breast implants behind my breast muscle, the procedure would result in natural looking breast augmentation.

I will check in with you later in the week for another update before the surgery.

Happy Friday everyone!

I wanted to share with you my decision to have Dr. Wigoda perform my breast augmentation surgery.  I met with him earlier this week for my plastic surgery consultation and I am ready to move forward with Dr. Wigoda as my breast augmentation surgeon. We’ve scheduled the surgery for next Friday, January 30, 2009 and I couldn’t be more excited.

During the consultation I really felt comfortable with Dr. Wigoda. He answered all my questions and he actually cared about everything I was worried about.  I was concerned about being able to breast-feed in the future and I really felt comfortable discussing all my hesitations with him. Dr. Wigoda didn’t just give me the medical answer that you’d expect from a Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon; he really took the time to go deep into detail with each of my questions and concerns.

Today I am feeling a little nervous about the surgery, but I know I am in great hands!  I will follow up with you all next week.

TGIF!

Hi Readers!

I am so happy to be able to share my breast implant experience at The Aesthetics Institute with you and let you know what it’s really like to get breast augmentation in Miami.

I have always wanted breast implants because I want a more womanly shape and appearance. I am tired of feeling “flat as a pancake” and want to be able to wear cute dresses, tank tops, and bikinis!

However, I’m concerned about the actual procedure, recovery time, and possible complications involved with having breast implants. I heard about Dr. Wigoda through my mother, who said he was one of the best plastic surgeons in Miami. So, yesterday I met with Dr. Wigoda to have my breast augmentation consultation and ask him some questions.

When I met with Dr. Wigoda I was very comfortable. Both he and the staff were very nice and The Aesthetics Institute is very clean and professional. Dr. Wigoda addressed all my questions and concerns, which took any hesitation I had about the surgery away. Overall, the consultation was great because I was nervous that I was making the right choice.

Dr. Wigoda understood how I was feeling and explained every step of the surgery. He made everything easy and simple for me to understand, so I knew exactly what was going to happen before, during and after the surgery, allowing me to make an informed choice about my breast implants.

So, I definitely have some thinking to do. I’ll keep you posted!

She is one of the world’s most photographed women, but is her face truly a work of perfection?

While never admitting to having any sort of cosmetic surgery procedure like rhinoplasty, many celeb-watchers have always speculated that Paris Hilton’s looks are not “au naturel.”

Dr. Wigoda has reviewed some photos of young Paris Hilton compared with current photos of the heiress, and here’s what he had to say.
“When looking at Paris Hilton, its clear she has had at least one rhinoplasty. In my opinion, she went from having an attractive, normal appearing nose, to one that looks overdone. It is too narrow in the bridge area and the tip now looks like its hanging.

I would be curious to know if she can breathe well through her nose. She is a good example of two things: one, a smaller nose is not necessarily more attractive (and definitely not more functional) and two, just because you can afford to have cosmetic surgery, doesn’t mean you should have it done.

Frequently, the nasal walls can collapse when the patient breathes in, making it difficult to breathe. Patients then require a reconstructive procedure to build their nose back up so they can breathe normally again.”
