"I have always had a small chest and after breastfeeding two babies, my breasts got even smaller. Immediately after my breast augmentation surgery, I felt more confident. Even though I’m only one week post-op I already feel like a new me! Working full-time while also being a wife and a mom makes it challenging to do things just for yourself. Don’t let that stop you. Having this surgery done has already positively impacted my life. I am so grateful to Doctor Nadeau and her entire team."

"Having my tummy tuck done with Dr. Wei really changed the way I feel about myself and my confidence has improved dramatically. I’ve always been a larger woman and I’ve loved my curves. I just wanted to get rid of all the loose skin that was left after my 70 pound weight loss. Prior to having my tummy tuck done I had spent most of my life dressing to cover or disguise my stomach. With all that extra skin gone, I can now dress to highlight those curves! I truly believe plastic surgery can be the ultimate form of self-care."
