Zoe documents her breast augmentation with Dr. Barrett in LA, whom she found on TikTok after a year of research. She used Arnica, Calm MG, and CBD balm before surgery, received 250 cc and 270 cc implants via periareolar incision, and reports minimal discomfort one week post-op.
This is what I needed for my body. Once you find your surgeon, just do it. It's a lifetime worth of confidence, so you might as well do it. My name is Zoe, and I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I'm getting a breast augmentation today with implants. And I've actually been thinking about getting this procedure for probably a year or so now. I discovered Dr. Barrett probably 2 months into my research, and I discovered him obviously through TikTok trends and them being so popular and everybody revealing what they got done. As soon as I saw his work on one of his patients, I I immediately dove in, immediately started deep diving into what he does and how he does it and the procedures that he follows, and more importantly, his holistic approach to his procedures and how he does them. I'm very excited to take the After, the Arnica, the Calm MG. I do feel like all of them have really helped my body get to where it needs to be in order to help me get the best results for me in terms of just recovery and how my body is going to react. Do your research and definitely go with a doctor that you are very comfortable with as well as their team. I really appreciated Dr. Barrett's team for being there throughout this entire process to help me with any questions that I have and also just making me feel very safe and very comfortable. Honestly, just made the whole process very easy. So I'm very excited that I can go to the best and not have to worry about being an entire country away. Besides that, just, you know, look at the results. If you like them, then go for them.
So we're going to place an implant like this underneath the muscle halfway here, border the areola incision, develop the cleavage, nice side boob, but still keep it looking very natural. It's that dual plane technique that's really important. If we went above the muscle, you'd see this fake and round appearance on the top, and that's not a look that most people want. So that's why we're going to do that dual plane half underneath the muscle today. So stay tuned. Okay, so we just set her up. We're doing a round table sizing. Uh, we do have some extra oil in here, and we're just checking out the size. See how this looks compared to the other side, make sure our sizing is good. 250 cc's both sides, sitting up. Make sure your doctor does this check for size shaping. Quick recap: we did differential sizing for our patient, we did on-table sizing. That's really important to find out these little intricacies that make a big difference in terms of results. So left breast, we did 250, right side we did 270. We dropped this fold just a tiny bit to kind of match the other side. Don't want to do that too much. And with the end result like this— I always ask my patients to bring in desired goal photos. If your surgeon's not interested in seeing what your desired goal is, I would ask them, how else are you going to determine appropriate sizing? So I use these a lot in the operating room, make sure that when I put the sizers in, it matches the desired goal. Okay, so if you have any questions, shoot us a DM or shoot us a question down here below.

So far, the recovery has been very easy, which is surprising. I mean, I've read a lot and I've seen a lot of his patients who say that the recovery process has been really easy for them, but for the most part, it's just been the tightness and the stretching of my skin. But the CBD balm surprisingly has been my go-to product. I put it on in the morning, midday, at night. The CBD balm, like I said, has just been a quick-acting relief for that tightness and that stretching that I've been feeling. Other than that, I mean, I was up at day 4 and I went out to dinner and I was perfectly fine. So I didn't really realize how much adding something in this area would give me that, wow, okay, I actually really like this. Like, this is what I needed for my body. So far it's just been amazing. Do it. I mean, honestly, do your research, and after you do that, once you find your surgeon, just do it. It's a lifetime worth of confidence, so you might as well do it.
So we did differential sizing. We did 250 on the one side and then 270 on the other side. Looks really good. Now remember, this breast was a little bit a little bit higher. That's going to take a little bit more time for that to drop and settle. Should start to see that around 9 weeks, but otherwise nice natural looking result. Great week one, week one result.
