One of the most common questions women ask before getting breast implants is, “What if I don’t end up liking them?”

It’s a totally valid concern. Breast augmentation is a big decision and a major life change that takes some getting used to.

Dr. Houssock and Val get personal about how breast implants changed their lives, talking candidly about what recovery really feels like, physically and emotionally, and what it’s like navigating healing, changes in daily life, and intimacy. 

They also share practical recovery tips: why it’s important to rest, wear the right post-op bras, eat well, and take a break from workouts. Having a supportive partner can make a huge difference, too.

Find out how breast implants age with your body, possible complications and how they’re treated, what long-term maintenance looks like, and how long implants typically last.
