I had been contemplating on getting my 11 year old, saline implants either taken out completely or replacing them with a smaller implant. But, I wanted to speak with professionals of course! I received a quote from a well-renowned doctor in Lafayette, but the cost seemed a little inflated being that I would’ve had to pay additional surgery center fees, so I held off for about a year. Then one of my friends mentioned that she had her old implants completely removed and a lift done with Dr. Balder in Crowley at Acadia Women’s Health and said she had an amazing experience! I immediately booked the consultation! I was still on the fence about removing them completely or just replacing, so they analyzed my breast tissue and advised me that going with smaller, silicone gel implants with a lift would give me the exact look and satisfaction I was seeking. I went from a 390 cc and 360 cc to a 375 cc and 345 cc with the lift and I couldn’t be happier! I look so much more conservative with still an amazing amount of volume without looking like a porn star! I was so insecure before with my old implants that overtime started to sag from the weight and heaviness of my old implants, I constantly felt my boobs resting on my stomach. Now I’m so lifted and my features are perfectly proportionate! I feel like I lost 10 lbs at the same time. My old implants were causing so much neck stress and upper back tension. My family (3 sisters and mom) are my harshest critics and even they couldn’t get over my results and how better these suit my figure. My mom was like WOW. It made such a huge difference! Just do it! Onto the staff, from the consultation, pre-op, procedure and follow-up appointments, I couldn’t rave enough about this staff! They are so pleasant and answered all of my questions! I want to give a shout-out to Dr. Bushnell as well. He is the anesthesiologist. His knowledge and professionalism made me feel so comfortable and cared for going under anesthesia, as it can always be a little scary. And Taylor, the nurse or surgical assistant (I can’t remember) was a total sweetheart! It’s so nice that there is an operating room and full operation staff that actually saves on the cost of your procedure, avoiding additional 3rd party fees. Everything is done at their office! So convenient! I could literally go on and on about how impressive this team and this place is! It is worth the short drive from Lafayette! I cannot wait to see how I continue to heal and improve. I was also concerned about scaring with getting a lift, but Dr. balder and his staff ensured that they will get me on a great scar care regimen and I had nothing to worry about. He showed me his before and afters and it took all my worries and concerns away! Long-winded post, but I wanted to tell my full story. I know most women appreciate the full details! Just go see them!!!!
