"I have known for years that I wanted a breast augmentation. I am thirty-two years old. After seven years of marriage and two beautiful children, I finally learned the valuable lesson that I matter. Making myself a priority does not mean sacrificing my family’s needs. Rather, spending time making myself look and feel better means I am better able to care for others."
"I had the good fortune to have Dr. Van Natta perform my breast augmentation. I am a 40 year old woman who had decided to have the surgery to boost my personal image of myself. My experience was absolutely fantastic! I followed exactly what Dr. Van Natta wanted me to do pre and post surgery. After the surgery was over, I was instructed to go home, take a 2 hour nap, get up, take a shower and wash my hair and then go out for lunch, run errands or whatever I wanted to do with the help of course of a family member. I followed his instruction and was amazed how much better I felt moving around rather than just laying in bed. Then, every hour on the hour, I was instructed to perform small exercises for my chest and the muscles. Every time I did them, I felt a little bit better each time. Finally, before I went to bed, I was instructed to lay flat on my breasts for 15 minutes before going to bed. Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive, but, in all honesty, it felt very good to do that. I followed this protocol for a few days after surgery. The results have been terrific! I had very little bruising, swelling and pain. I had spoken to many friends who had this procedure done, and each person I spoke with had substantial pain and bruising. Dr. Van Natta’s approach to allowing the body to heal itself along with the patient’s discipline really works! I felt very comfortable with his philosophy and the results were amazing!"
"Going into this surgery, I thought the Recipe for Recovery was amazing. I have friends who have had breast augmentation by other surgeons and they were very skeptical. More than one of them said it wouldn’t work based on their experience with their recovery and the narcotics they had to take. But I felt very confident in Dr Van Natta and trusted that this regimen has been tested and worked for many other patients. I woke up from surgery feeling surprisingly good and I walked comfortably out the door within 30 minutes from waking up. We went home and I napped just like the Recipe says. When I woke up I was stiff and a little sore but as soon as I took a shower and blow dried my hair I was feeling really good. Within 7 hours of surgery I was out to dinner with friends who couldn’t believe, first of all that I was there at all and secondly that I looked and felt so good! Things just got better from there. It felt great to move and stretch. So here I am, one week from surgery and I am here to tell you that this works. I am so happy with my results and my whole experience. Dr Van Natta is great and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family."
