Can You Guess Who is NOT a Mom?

Patient: Jill (breast augmentation)

Jill, 31 years old, is from Northern California and relocated to San Diego about three years ago. She is currently a Dance/Fitness instructor, student, and full-time mother of her 5 year old and 20-month year old boys. In her spare time, she loves to dance, run, and read. Jill decided to go ahead with her surgery when she knew she was finished having children.

"I just wanted to get back to the way I felt before I was constantly on mommy duty. I feel like I am myself again."

"I chose LJCSC in part because of their amazing website. Most of my questions were answered before I even got to the office. I love how friendly everyone of the staff members are, and how passionate Dr. G is about his work."

"I feel like my surgery has allowed for the best parts of me to come shining through. What a bonus, I thought I was just going in to alter my outward appearance, but came out with an attitude adjustment. 2 for the price of one!"

Patient: Karen (breast augmentation)

Karen, 23 years old, is a born and raised Southern California girl. "I have lived here all my life and I love it!" She was recently married in November of 2005 and does not have any children (yet!).

Karen is a Domestic Engineer (A.K.A. Housewife!!!). "I love staying at home and taking care of my husband."

When asked what the motivating factors were for her decision to have plastic surgery....

"Not feeling as feminine as I would like. When it came to wearing certain outfits sometimes having a smaller chest was an advantage...but more that often than not I would wish that I had larger breasts."

"My experience with Dr. G and LJCSC was completely different that any other plastic surgeons office I went to. The atmosphere was welcome and calming. Dr. G was so patient and willing to spend as much time as needed to make me feel comfortable making my decision. Shelly was so helpful, she even called me the day after my first consultation with Dr. G to see if there were any additional questions that I had. I just love love love LJCSC and I recommend them to everyone I know. I am so happy with the results I have no problem talking openly about my procedure!"

"Bikini shopping is the BEST thing EVER!!! I don't even need to try them on. I know every single one I buy will fit perfectly. And now I can buy them off the rack like at Target for $30.00 compared to the $100+ I was spending on suits before...because I could never find any that fit the way I wanted."

Patient: Samantha (breast augmentation)

Samantha, 36 years old, is a proud mother of 'one wonderful three year old boy'. She is originally from the Bay area but has lived in San Diego for almost 15 years now. She and her husband own a retail management company and three specialty retail stores in Seaport Village. In her spare time she loves to do anything water related such as surfing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, sailing, or snowboarding. "There is nothing better than a day on the water with your family and friends."

"I always thought in my mind I would eventually get the body I wanted. After my son was born, I realized I was waiting for a miracle, so instead of waiting I made it happen."

"My husband and I loved everyone we met at the office. We interviewed several doctors around San Diego and loved Dr. Brahme."

"I never think twice about my looks now."
