What was the recovery time/how much time are you taking off from work?

Who did you go to?

Are you happy with the results?

Cost?

I’m thinking of going to Dr.Raffi Hovsepain sometime next year for a BA so I’d love to know your experience with it

I’m taking a week off work and then I’ll be on light activity for a week or two when I return.

I went to Dr. Cristen Catignani at The Swan Center in Alpharetta, GA.

I haven’t seen them outside the surgical bra yet, but I’m already VERY happy with the results, they’re the perfect size! I got 450cc in one and 425cc in the other, Mentor silicone gel implants, submuscular.

I paid $6400, $2900 on CareCredit and the rest with a cashier’s check.

Was that the total price including hospital stay? Or just the surgeon plus the implants themselves?

That was the total price. I didn’t stay in a hospital, my surgery was at The Swan Center in Alpharetta, GA, they have their own surgery center. I went home the same day.

Wishing you a great recovery!

Pain isn’t bad at all, it’s well controlled with the pain meds (Percocet). Mobility is very limited for now but will improve. I currently need help sitting up and sitting down and getting out of bed.

Stats pre surgery?

Height, weight, band size?

Implants size range that was offered to you after measurements?

Pre surgery I was a 36A/34B. 5’11” and 190 lbs. I tried on 350cc, 400, 425 and 450. Ended up with 425cc in my left breast (which was bigger before surgery) and 450cc in my right breast.
