Sometimes, too much of a good thing - isn't. And that goes double when you're talking about something as intimate as breast size.

"I went from a B cup to a DD, to a G, back down to about a C," summarizes Helena, 48, of Valencia.

"I had implants done by another surgeon about nine years ago. I asked for a C cup and ended up with a DD. I didn't like them at all; I got the procedure done to improve my self confidence and it ended up lowering it. Then I gained weight - and they got even bigger! I was probably about a G-cup when I went to my consult with Dr. Heller," she explains. "I'm now about two months post-op after my implant removal and lift, my breasts are C cups and I couldn't be happier!"

The process required not only incredible surgical skill but an artistic eye, too. "When I met Helena, I could immediately sense her frustration with her original surgery; I felt so compelled to make it right for her. It was very obvious that not only was the size inappropriate for her body type, but that elements like nipple placement were not made strategically for a natural-looking aesthetic," explains Dr. Justin Heller, owner of Heller Plastic Surgery in Valencia.

"I knew that, besides removing the implants, I would be able to do micro-liposuction on her sides and under her armpit area, where women often complain of 'bra bulge,' to accomplish two things. First, it would provide her with a slenderizing silhouette that I knew would be so flattering to her shape. And, second, it would provide me with enough fat to re-shape her breasts and give that necessary volume without needing implants," explains the board-certified specialist.

"I love being 'natural' again," says Helena. "And I'm so grateful to Dr. Heller and his team. When I first looked him up, I was so impressed by his reviews and the before and afters on his website. But after working with him and his amazing office staff, I just can't say enough good things about my results or the process. My surgery was totally free of complications and my recovery was very easy. I have very little scarring and what I do have, I am confident will almost completely fade from sight very soon. They'll be imperceptible. My breasts are now perky, round and beautiful - I love them! This is exactly what I was trying to achieve almost 10 years ago! I am so happy I got what I had always wanted with Dr. Heller."

Heller Plastic Surgery is located in the Atrium Building next to City Hall in Valencia. The comfortable, well-appointed office is now accepting patients and scheduling complimentary consultations. 661-233-4949
