Mar 27 My Breast Augmentation Journey

Hey babes,

If you follow me on social media (especially instagram), I recently shared that I decided to get breast augmentation surgery. I also decided that I wanted to be very open and transparent about my experience and share my journey. The best way to that was to vlog the entire thing — which I did:

I am so happy with my decision and have been loving the results so far. The video goes into details about the surgery and the recovery if you want to learn more there.

RECAP:

Where I went:

Dr. Barrett in Beverly Hills
Surgery was in January 2023
His instagram here
Website
All his links here

What I got:

A breast augmentation
320cc on each side — my bra size is a 34D now
Areolar incision meaning the doctor placed the implant through an incision in my nipple as opposed to under the breast or armpit. This was important to me so that minimal scarring would show

Recovery:

In terms of pain, I only took 1 tylenol pill
I used CBD balm
I had very little to no pain — just soreness
You are very restricted in movement at the beginning, but as the healing goes on, you can begin to do more things.

Random tips:

Don’t go too small — they are super swollen at first, but they definitely come down (I was considering going smaller, but so glad I didn’t)
With that, don’t be scared if they seem too big after surgery! I definitely felt like I had massive boulders on my chest, but the swelling does come down
Research doctor’s techniques — Dr. Barrett explained a lot of things he does during surgery to help give the best outcome and I had no idea about those things before he told me

If this is something you’re considering, I definitely recommend reaching out to Dr. Barrett’s team. They made me feel so comfortable and let me ask any questions. I really like his techniques and I feel like it really sets him apart from other surgeons. He is also known as the “natural plastic surgeon” which I loved, because I didn’t want anything too big or noticeable and I felt like he really listened to me and I’m so happy with my results!
