Heidi’s Story

I have always been a tall girl with small breasts and just didn't feel proportionate. I always wore big padded underwire bras and hated shopping for a bathing suit. I finally had a savings built up and on my 30th birthday decided wishing for larger breasts for 12+ years wasn't working. I knew a few friends and coworkers who had breast augmentation and began my research. After speaking with several people and looking at several websites I knew I wanted Silicone and I knew I needed to travel to Kansas City to Dr. Quinn. One of his patients worked with my sister and was almost exactly my height and build. She looked so natural and that is what I wanted. I live in Springfield, MO but this was important enough that I was willing to travel 2 1/2 hours to feel secure with my decision. I decided to get Silicone for a more natural look and feel. I was a small B and the consultant worked with me and had me try on several sizes and I decided I wanted to be a full D. I am 5'10" and 140 lbs. The office staff is so pleasant and helpful. My surgery went smoothly and my recovery was surprisingly short. I was down for a couple days and after that just had some occasional soreness. They have lost the swelling and dropped nicely. I love them more every day. I decided Dr. Quinn is an artist, as well as a Doctor. He gave me exercises to do and checked periodically to make sure they were healing well. By the way, the scars are hardly noticeable 3 months later (Dr. Quinn recommended I use Mederma). Thanks to the staff and Mentor Implants. I feel great!
