I've never had a large chest. I was a B at my largest. I never considered this a bad thing. I am…read morean athlete and enjoyed not having to battle my boobs as part of my workout. I also thought that as I got older I wouldn't have to worry about sagging breasts. Well, after three kids in 4 1/2 years I discovered I was wrong. I nursed all three (about 4 years over a 6 year stretch) and worked very hard to lose all of my baby weight after the last was born. I lost the weight, got into some of the best physical shape of my life but lost what little curves I had. My boobs had become saggy. Saggy skin. How does that happen? You can work on your body to get your shape back, but how do you get boobs back? I wore bikinis and couldn't fill in the smallest top. Shirts were also a challenge. I didn't fill out the "darts" in shirts made for a woman's breasts. It was difficult. After I turned 38, my youngest was now 6, I decided it was time for me to reclaim my figure. I discussed my decision with my husband and kids. My husband wanted me to know that I didn't need to do it for him. He loved me for who I was and didn't care about the size of my chest. He said I wanted my kids to understand and accept my choice. Amazingly, they were very supportive. They were mostly worried about me looking drastically different. I assured them that wasn't my intention and began my search. I searched online for the best plastic surgeons in the St. Louis area. I live on the Illinois side of the river and wanted convenience as well as excellence. I found both with Dr. Timothy Bradley, a plastic surgeon located in Swansea, IL. Everyone at the facility was very friendly, professional, and supportive. The surgery and recovery were explained thoroughly. I was shown the different types of implants and was told the size my body could accommodate, which was a large C cup. As an athlete and a mother of 3, I didn't want a drastic change. I just wanted my chest. I chose implants that were a large B to a small C. Okay, so I went a little bigger than my God-given chest . I had breast augmentation surgery the middle of March. It was very simple and easy. I did need help to make it through the rest of the day - I was pretty much out of it. After that, the healing process began. I began walking for exercise a few days after the surgery (at a little easier pace) and was back to regular exercise within a month to 6 weeks (which included running, biking, swimming, and tennis). This was important to me because I love being active. The swelling went down in my chest slowly but surely over those couple of months. By summer, I was wearing, and filling out, a bikini top. I now filled out shirts that I already had and could find new clothes because I wasn't battling a non-existent chest. It's been almost 9 months since my breast augmentation surgery, and it's a decision I do not regret and don't think I ever will. My breasts look and feel natural (my husband agrees). My new breasts make me feel like a woman again. I have a figure. Thank you to Dr. Bradley and his excellent staff for giving me back my womanly figure.

I chose Dr. Timothy D. Bradley for lower eyelid surgery and unfortunately my experience has been…read morevery difficult. While I understand that complications can occur with any surgery, a complication occurred during my procedure and, more than two months later, I am still dealing with ongoing issues. I continue to experience bruising, swelling, tearing, discomfort, and concerns regarding the function of my eyelid. These problems have affected not only my daily life but also my ability to work. What has been most disappointing is feeling that my concerns have not been fully addressed. As a patient, I was looking for guidance, support, and reassurance while dealing with an unexpected recovery. Instead, I was left feeling frustrated and unheard during a very challenging time. I am sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision and ask detailed questions about potential complications, recovery expectations, and post-operative care before undergoing surgery. This review reflects my personal experience and the challenges I have faced throughout my recovery.
