5:30 am

Waking up was a little surreal. I’m scared and anxious, but I think I figured out why. As a Type A (aka Control Freak), I will be out of control when I go under the anesthesia. Driving down to Dr. Wigoda’s Fort Lauderdale office in the rain.

Dr Wigoda Painless Breast Implants Surgery TODAY!

8:00 am

Check in to Dr. Wigoda’s on @foursquare, of course! A pregnancy test confirms I am NOT pregnant, thank you very much. In the prep room the Wigoda plastic surgery A team gets me dressed for surgery in style, IV in, and whatever they are telling me is not registering because I can’t think straight. With Navah and Don as my support team, how could I go wrong? Navah captured the YouTube moment while Don filled my meds.

8:30 am

Dr. Wigoda comes in to tell me I need to make a decision on size. I’m nervous to be too big, but decide on 370 cc (the bigger of my two choices).  According to everyone at The Aesthetics Institute, 90% of breast implant patients wish they went bigger, the other 10% are ok with size, nobody wishes for smaller. So why be the first? I go with bigger.

9:00 am

Surgery table in sight, trying to get those last text messages in on iPhone, kisses to my boyfriend and Navah. Will I wake up to see them again? (random thought running through my head) So if I die, at my funeral the whisper would be: How did she die? Answer: On the operating room table getting breast implant surgery. This is so anti-me, I decide God would not let that happen.

The Wigoda “A” team ask me what kind of cocktails I like, I say cosmo, they start the IV and I’m out. Anesthesiologist Dr. Paul Rodriquez makes the perfect cocktail!

My cocktail of choice!

11:15 am

I hear someone softly saying “Lisa.”  I open my eyes and feel such a sense of relief that I am alive, I look down at my chest, I think ‘ok, nothing crazy’, looks good. I feel emotional and want to hold everyone’s hand. Nurses Erica, Rocky, Lucy could not have been more comforting, like my new BFFs! By 11:45 I was back in my Juicy tracksuit and in the car on my way home (Don in the driver seat).

1:00 pm

I am in no pain, just feeling groggy from the anesthesia. I eat a Jello, some chicken broth and take my prescribed pills of pain killers, steroids, muscle relaxers and antibiotics. I feel like I can talk on the phone and text, but Don says I shouldn’t because I won’t remember anything. I am super thirsty and drink tons of water. Dozing in and out of Oprah, Rachel Ray and Dr. Oz seems like a nice break from social media networks.

4:00 pm

I ate some chicken and salad and have been walking around a little. I can even walk up and down the stairs and get out of bed myself! Dr. Wigoda just called to check in with me. He said keep lifting my arms every hour, I’ll be following doctor’s orders!

8:00 pm

Nurse Don’s (my boyfriend) shift ends, he feels so good about me feeling good; he is off to the gym and I am off to Twitter!

Painless Breast Implant in some Juicy Couture!

So, the countdown begins…just 24 hours before my painless breast implant surgery with Dr. Paul Wigoda in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A million questions that I can’t believe I never thought of are running through my head. What if I don’t wake up from the anesthesia? What if the electricity goes off in the middle of surgery? What am I supposed to wear? Can I drink a glass of wine or three the night before?

Then I get a text from my boyfriend. He asks: “Do you want to go to the baseball game in Tampa next Tuesday?”

Is he serious?

I’m like WTF????

I’m having surgery tomorrow and he is thinking about next week’s baseball game?…I’m having breast implant S-U-R-G-E-R-Y! How much does he really love me?

Then I realized, I’m being psychotic.

Reminder to self: Dr. Paul Wigoda is the best plastic surgeon; I could not be in better hands, literally. I call Karoline, one of Dr. Wigoda’s painless breast implant Size D pros. She told me all my feelings are normal. Karoline said to wear a Juicy Couture outfit and all will be fine. Cheers!

I’ll have the small 34C please, make that silicone with a slight lift, light on the pain and no bleeding. Instead of my Starbucks check-in @foursquare, I’ll be checking in to Dr. Wigoda’s office on Friday morning for some painless breast implants.

Getting lift and cleavage beyond compare…like no Victoria’s Secret bra can do.  That’s why my friend Maria is jealous! Comparing “body” notes with my mommy friends like Maria, we all agree: kids are great, but they sure can take a toll on the body!

I am sooooo ready to see my Plastic Surgeon friend and blogger Dr. Wigoda on Friday morning in Fort Lauderdale! My breast implant surgery is a must-have…I mean push up bras look sexy only as long as you are wearing them! What’s more fake, a good bra that you eventually have to take off or some awesome breast implants?

Pre-Breast Surgery Freak Out Moments:

Painless Breast Implants, Here I Come!

I am starting to freak out a little because I have not worked out in 3 days and not sure how quick I can be back on the treadmill. Also a little nervous about getting cut open upon my own wishes! Other things like what will my ex say, what do I tell my eight-year old daughter…or a few random thoughts before going for my painless breast implant surgery.

Victoria’s Secret has ‘Very Sexy’ bras, well I’m ready for Dr. Paul Wigoda’s Very Sexy (and painless) breast implants! Friday morning at 8:00 am, see you on the very sexy surgery table! My biggest concern: No Starbucks before surgery!

Follow a patient behind the scenes via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Dr. Paul Wigoda’s Painless Breast Implant Blog as she documents her way from the initial consultation to painless breast augmentation surgery. Get an inside look at questions and concerns that come with plastic surgery from a real patient through the whole process.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – July 19, 2010 – Face-to-face consultation or Facebook-to-Facebook? Each year over 350,000 women have breast augmentation surgery in the U.S., and Board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Paul Wigoda is giving potential patients the chance to go behind the scenes of one woman’s painless breast augmentation experience.

Follow Dr. Wigoda’s patient, Lisa, through the entire process of consultations, initial check-ups, her surgery day and post-op results as she shares her thoughts, experiences and insight on Dr. Wigoda’s South Florida Plastic Surgery and Beauty Blog, Twitter @drwigoda, Facebook and YouTube.

“I don’t hate my body, I actually have always kind of liked it and my small B bra size,” Lisa shared in her first painless breast implant blog post. “But after going through my pregnancy and seeing what I could possibly look like a size bigger, I’ve been a little hooked on bigger breasts. Dr. Wigoda’s painless breast implant procedure is exactly what I’m looking for.”

Get answers to many of the typical question Dr. Wigoda faces about the not-so-typical painless breast implant surgery he has perfected over the years at The Aesthetics Institute.

Dr. Wigoda uses over a decade of South Florida plastic surgery experience to blend the methods of other respected cosmetic surgeons, perfect his own technique and match the correct incision, implant and procedure to every individual patient.

For some women, breast augmentation surgery is an easy decision. For others, the idea of elective surgery, the physical side effects, and potential risks make the decision more difficult. Dr. Wigoda and Lisa take you through the process from start to finish.

With my painless breast implant surgery by Dr. Wigoda just days away, I’m dreaming about getting all new Victoria Secret’s bras…until I check my iPhone. Waking up to a series of missed calls, text messages and emails from my doctor just two days after getting blood work done is not a fun feeling. I thought either I’m dying, or someone is dead. Cancer, or a brain tumor for sure…

As it turns out, my doctor tells me I am four to five weeks pregnant!

Joy…F-ing PREGNANT! It was one of those life-changing moments where I felt every ounce of blood draining rapidly from my body. This was not the news I am planning to hear days before my breast implant surgery, and after I’ve mentally decided my days of having more babies are history.

Seriously? I go from buying new sexy demi bras to nursing bras?

After having a mind-erasing day at my Ob-Gyn, getting more tests done and being sent home with prenatal vitamins, the call comes at the end of the day: “Sorry, it must have been a lab error, you are not pregnant!” my doctor tells me.

I go straight to a bar and order a tequila shot. Tomorrow is a new day; my breast implant surgery with Dr. Paul Wigoda is back on. So is my cruise in December. So is my boyfriend’s vasectomy.

Behind the Operating Room Curtain. What REALLY Happens in Breast Surgery! Leah Roque Tells All

Today I went and had my blood work, EKG and vitals done in preparation for my breast implant surgery with Dr. Paul Wigoda. Only five more days! I can’t believe it. After spending the last week on vacation in my bathing suit on the beach it all started becoming a reality. I mean, I don’t hate my body, I actually have always kind of liked it (and my small B bra size), but after going through my pregnancy and seeing what I could possibly look like a size bigger, I’ve been a little hooked on bigger breasts.

After having a baby, and now a few years have gone by, the breast size and shape lose that loving shape and size. Small but perky are now small and shrinking. So, I’m thinking why wait? I have known Dr. Paul Wigoda of The Aesthetic Institute for almost three years as his friend, PR and Social Media consultant, have interviewed dozens of his happy breast implant patients (with envy) and now I think… it’s my turn!

Am I nervous? Yes, a little. More on the fact that I have never been put under and that control factor.  I’m also nervous about going too big, I really just want to be a big B without having to buy a “good bra” from Victoria Secrets. I mean how real is that?

Bargain basement-priced breast implants can be painful, dangerous and in the long run cost more time, money and risk, says Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Wigoda. Dr. Wigoda blends surgical technique, experience and precision to eliminate pain, promote recovery and produce lasting Fort Lauderdale breast augmentation results

Fort Lauderdale, FL – March 16, 2010 – Dr. Paul Wigoda’s plastic surgery patients are hurting less. Even as plastic surgery spending slumped again in 2009, breast augmentation remained the most popular surgical procedure for American women with over 300,000 procedures nationwide.

And as the tough economic times persist, price conscious consumers and patients are shopping for the best surgical techniques and least amount of pain, according to board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Wigoda.

“Combining knowledge, skill and personal care is vital to reducing post-surgical inflammation, promoting fast recovery and ensuring patients’ happiness with every Fort Lauderdale breast augmentation procedure,” Dr. Wigoda said.

In a market where many other surgeons are offering bargain breast augmentation procedures, these surgeries are often accompanied by a prolonged and painful recovery, additional missed time from work and poor results.

“Patients who choose a surgeon based purely on price without considering certification, training and experience may be making a costly mistake,” Wigoda said. “The first operation is the patient’s best opportunity for a quality result. Placing yourself in the capable hands of an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon is the first step to the quality you deserve.”

The Aesthetics Institute continues to give South Florida patients what they are looking for as Dr. Wigoda has developed a technique to eliminate pain from breast augmentation procedures.

“Breast augmentation was a dream that I always had,” said recent Dr. Wigoda patient Karen Vidal. “The same day of the procedure I was able to go home and move around without pain. On a scale of one to ten, I rate my level of pain at one and Dr. Wigoda at ten and a half!”

Dr. Wigoda uses over a decade of South Florida plastic surgery experience to blend the methods of other top cosmetic surgeons, perfect his own technique and match the correct incision, implant and procedure to every individual patient.

“The most uncomfortable experience of my procedure was having to sleep on my back for a couple of days,”  Vidal said. “Other than that, I was pain free.”
