Journal of a Breast Reduction Patient
After four to six years of back pain and chiropractic treatments, I decided at age 23 and size DD breasts that it was time for me to get a medical opinion of the size of my chest. Throughout college, I had been trying to lose weight hoping it would reduce the size of my chest. I was self-conscious, had low self-esteem and reduced physical activity. I couldn’t run – even jogging was a challenge for me.
Jenn's Nose Surgery: A Personal Story
I canceled my first consultation appointment. I had decided that the nose God gave me would remain intact. But my determination quickly waned. . . At first I was slow to realize why I had begun trying to look at people face on, rather than allowing them the chance to catch me in profile. I started to become very conscious of wearing bangs so that my nose would not seem to protrude straight out from my face.
Life After Lipo
With this in mind, I began a workout program and did slim down. Three months later, with pudgy knees and saddlebags still in place, I visited the doctor again and scheduled a liposuction procedure. Even after just a few months, it was clear to me that no amount of exercise in the world would eradicate an idiosyncratic condition like pudgy knees.
A Personal Story: Breast Implants (Three Weeks Post)
I am a 26-year-old mother of two boys, ages two and three. After my second son was born, I realized that I would never have "perky" breasts again! It was a very sad realization. Even more depressing for me was when I found that I could no longer wear my favorite clothes and feel good in them.
Doing It for Me
"My surgery was all about how I feel about myself. I no longer feel like my chest is "sitting on the conference room table." Clothes fit better because I'm in proportion. It’s funny – people even think I'm taller. I can now play tennis and do other activities, although I still stink at volleyball."
Seth Seeks Cosmetic Surgery, Twice
"It all started when I was playing basketball at 16; I got whacked on my nose and broke it," says Seth, a 35-year-old from Scottsdale, Arizona. . .Once again, ten years after my first cosmetic surgery procedure, I booked a consultation with a renowned plastic surgeon who was recommended by a friend, to discuss cheek implants."
