Hi, I am a 32 yr old mother of 3 daughters 14, 12 and 9. I have always been very small busted(A cup) and am going to FINALLY go in to have my breast enlarged! My husband and I have been together for 16 years and he is very excited and supportive of me having this surgery so I'm hoping that other moms that have had this procedure done could recommend a doctor in the Fort Worth or Dallas area. Also I would like to know how much your surgery was and if you've had any problems sinse the surgery. Thanks so much in advance!
Good luck!! After 2 pregnancies failed to give me more than my A-cup, I am about ready for implants myself :)
i did a TON of research, and i mean a TON. i chose dr robert schwartz in richardson, had my surg on 2/23 and haven't had any problems.
Living in south Florida I don't have any problems with elective procedures so long as people can afford it (we can't hide in clothes down here!) and they are adequately informed of the risk.
We had a beautiful teen (18) in our town who died during a breast surgery (she was actually addressing an issue) after an apparent severe allergic reaction to the anesthesia. This is a rare complication (apparently); however, it was devastating to her families and friends.
My only concern is the age of your children - if something goes wrong (God forbid) they will be left as minors without their rock - their mom.
I don't mean to scare you and truly wish you the best. Just wanted to mention this as something to think about. Also, it's a good question when you are interviewing doctors (have they ever lost any patients, what do they do for unexpected complications, etc.?)
Good luck and God bless.
My 22 year old daughter just had a breast reduction 2 weeks ago and she had the most wonderful doctor. His name is Dr. Michael Bogdan and he has an office in Southlake on Carroll. I would highly recommend him. HIm and his staff have been wonderful. After surgery, he personally called a couple of times that first week just to check on her and if we had questions, he was always quick to respond back. Check his website out at www.drmichaelbogdan.com .
Just want to share a great resource with you.
I had a reduction - so can't speak to implants.
Good luck!
Funny you should ask this today, I had to go back to my breast dr yesterday. I have had implants for 12 years. Back then saline was considered the only safe option so that is what I have. My right breast is leaking. I immediately called my dr.

I really like Dr. Martin. He remembered me from way back. We caught up and he showed me my options. I will be replacing with silicone. They have new implants that won't leak.
Since Dr. Martin is not on my insurance plan and my insurance will cover the removal, I called for a second opinion today. The other dr quoted me $1500 more even with half of the surgery covered. I am sticking with my dr!!!
Good luck and enjoy!
I had the opposite, reduction, but I love my dr. He also did my co-workers implants. Dr. Heistein of fort worth or south lake. He was great, his staff was great. I would suggest visiting a few and see who your comfy with. I didn't want a surgeon that wouldn't listen to me and just wanted to do his thing. Your looking at about 5000(I believe but like I said mine was reduction and insurance paid). Good luck and give him a call!
I had breast augmentation done about 3 years ago. I used Dr. Lavine in Fort Worth. www.drlavine.com He was great and his staff was so sweet! I am 32 now and wish I would have done it sooner. I have been married for almost 12 years. I did get the saline for cost reasons, but if I ever do it again then I will definately get the silicone because they feel so much more natural. Good luck!
