If I could give more stars than a standard 5, I would.

Let me start off by saying that mine was a special case. From a young age my breasts were uneven. However, thru saveral car accidents in the past my sternum had been broken. One side of my sternum elevated an inch or two on my left side where the smaller breast was. On the right side, my pec muscle had been torn from a seat belt away from the tissue originally the accident followed by another incident as well. Before all that I had a baby who at the time of the surgery is two and a half. Reflecting back to breast feeding, the smaller breast (left) was for whatever reason the only one that could be emptied for milk and so the right one swelled up and couldn't be emptied. Now if you tack on the weight loss. Thru out my life my weight fluctuates from over 200 down to 135 and on a petite person (5'3") thats a massive difference. Starting at over 200 pounds a few months after the baby was born, I was bent on getting into shape. I dropped down to 115 right before the surgery. As much as I wanted to celebrate my achievement, the car accidents and other injuries occured in that window of time. When the muscle was torn on the right pec muscle, the already learger breast healed larger and hung lower than the smaller that's also elevated from my broken sternum. I had to buy overly padded bras and then stuff the one on the left with additional stuffing. I'd say the left was a 32-b while the right was a 32-D. I suffered thru a lot of embarrassment when stuffing would fall out and jokingly tell my friend "oh, I have to run to the bathroom to fix my 'flat tire'!" While picking up napkins on the floor. I had always wanted a breast augmentation, but now I needed it more than ever to fix my deformities.

But with that in mind, who do I go to?! I started searching 8 months before the surgery in every city in Texas. I began to lose faith in finding the right surgeon. Yes, of course, anyone wants bigger beasts. But my biggest turn off from every surgeon was 'big, gaint bubbles'. I wanted to be enhanced but not "fake" looking and needed somebody I could trust to not just be excellent at implants but could handle my particular case. I must have looked thru at least 40 surgeons thru out Texas with no avail. I branched off to surrounding states and had no luck finding "the one" either. I broke down in tears crying that at my mom's house that I would be stuck like this forever. That night I prayed.

A few days later, my husband and I went out. I stumbled into this beautiful girl on the dancefloor and I couldn't help but question if her breasts were real or fake. Later on that night, I gathered up the courage to ask her. She told me they were implants while raveing about this surgeon who was extremely skilled in S.A. She had the surgery 5 years ago and there was no visible scar while still maintaining the perfect shape. Apprehensive about my particular case, I scheduled my appointment immediately.

My first impression was that his office was beautiful but my biggest first impression was how amazing his staff was. His nurses are phenomenal.

When I met Dr Menendez I quickly realized he was one of the kindest and most knowledgeable people I'd ever met. When I told him my story he explained that had several years in a trauma specialized E.R.. I was already sold on his work, but this detail gave me an added amount of trust that knocked it out of the park.

All my consultations were free. There was 5 or more because he ordered numerous medical records, an MRI and and xray along with standard mammograms and blood work. His staff helping me thru all of this was *on point*.

I truly thank God that I found him. It has been two weeks since the surgery now. The stitches were removed a week after the surgery. Even though I'm still going thru "the dropping" phase, THEY ARE PERFECT!!!!

I CAN'T THANK DR MENENDEZ ENOUGH!! His hard work and skill have given me a new confidence and peace in myself I never thought was possible! They are perfect in shape!! I'm in tears as I write this. I'm so happy!!
