Cruising along at one stable weight can be pretty difficult for most people, especially when things like stress, big life changes and health issues crop up. For MTV’s Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnik, weight fluctuations have been a reality her whole life. But when yo-yo dieting left her feeling insecure about deflated boobs, especially as a TV star, she decided to dive into a breast lift with implants. And she hasn’t looked back.
The good news is that if you’re struggling with self-confidence issues like Angelia was, there is a fix for sagging breasts caused by weight loss. The even better news is that the whole process can be even more simple and straightforward than you might imagine. Here are three key takeaways and tips from Angelina herself.
Pick a Cosmetic Surgeon You Trust
One of Angelina’s biggest tips to anyone else out there who might be thinking about getting a breast lift with implants is to choose a cosmetic surgeon whom you trust and whom you feel has your best interests in mind, 100 percent. If you’re not quite sure where to start looking for a breast enhancement doc, do some preliminary research online and look for things like:
- Extensive medical training
- Affiliations with medical organizations like the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery
- Before and after photos
- Online reviews from previous clients
Get a Boob Job for YOU
For the love of all things holy, please don’t base your decision on price alone. Experience and surgical skill are way more important.
Apparently, Angie’s fiancé told her that she didn’t need breast implants, but was supportive of her decision once she explained that she wanted them for herself. Three gold stars for him! Angelina’s goal was to boost her self-confidence and be able to wear bathing suits and low-cut shirts without having to worry about wearing an insert—not to mention filling out her wedding dress.
At the end of the day, it’s your decision whether or not to get breast implants, and you shouldn’t feel pressured by anyone one way or the other.
Don’t Sweat the Recovery
Angelina says that the recovery and pain involved weren’t even close to what she’d been worrying about. Of course, everyone will heal and recover at their own pace, but she suggests not getting worked up over your breast enhancement recovery.
But it never hurts to be prepared. Just a few top-notch breast lift recovery tips to keep in mind:
- Follow your post-op recovery guidelines to a T. Angelina apparently took her bandages off the first day. Let’s not do this unless your cosmetic surgeon gives you the green light, okay?
- Don’t overdo it. Even if you feel up to it, don’t hit the gym right away or go on crazy-long walks.
- Maybe don’t plan your breast lift so close to your wedding day. Angelina apparently didn’t find her wedding dress until the month before the big day, since she was waiting to see results from her breast enhancement. Give yourself plenty of wiggle room when scheduling a major surgery before your wedding, mmmk?
