My decision to have breast augmentation

Breast augmentation was something I had considered even whilst at school. I remember discussing it when I was quite young and deciding that if I still felt that I wanted to do it when I had completed university, I would take the plunge. After I finished university, I planned to go travelling for several months. The thought of week after week in bikinis made my decision quite easy really! I did some research into the sort of improvements surgery can make and then looked at recovery times and cost. I decided that any nervousness and reservations I had was far outweighed by the prospect of having the figure I had always wanted so I went about finding a surgeon.

I attended consultations with a number of surgeons including some of the largest plastic surgery companies. My aim wasn't really to firm up my decision but rather to vet the surgeons! When I went to Plastic Surgery Partners and met with Dai Davis, I found what I had been looking for. Dai was sitting there in a whacky tie, and was really warm and friendly. He seemed genuinely interested in me rather than just rattling off spiel, which I had found at some other companies. The nurses I met were also incredibly friendly rather than just polite, which made the whole thing fun and exciting rather than daunting.

I think the major selling point for me was Dai's experience. He was clearly eminent in the field and I was very impressed with the fact that he is able to perform all sorts of complex plastic surgery, not just straight forward breast augmentations. I felt that Dai was the Rolls Royce of surgeons! He spoke with me at length about the different types of implants and the various ways he could insert them, making it clear exactly what sort of result I could expect to get. He insisted I spent two weeks making sure I wanted to have the operation but I knew as soon as I met him that I wanted him to do it. He filled me with confidence.

In my next post I will tell you how I felt leading up to the operation.
