5’4” and 135lbs from a 32A (maybe B) to a 34D to DD
At 38 years old…after 4 children…. Significant weight-loss and prior tummy tuck I finally decided to get my breasts done. I had Significant drooping and sagging (effects of weight loss and breastfeeding neither of which I regret). I went with the ideal implant because it made me feel safer that it was saline but had the more natural feel. I ended Up with 540cc along with a full lift. I was afraid of losing nipple sensation but honestly, I’m more sensitive even now a year later than ever. I will Say for those of you considering which to go with…. Larger sizes like this don’t seem to feel quite as natural and if that’s important to you…. You may want to lean toward a silicone option. Just my opinion.
Dr Pan and her staff were so warm helpful and patient. I did have a minor complication, but it was my body doing its thing and healing. I will only see them in the future I will never go elsewhere.
Updated on 22 Nov 2021:
This would be just about a year post op. Honestly, I didn’t care about looking fake or not but they rly
almost look natural. I couldn’t be happier with Dr Pan or my results. They’re better than I even Expected

I have been a patient at Esana plastic surgery for a couple of years now. Every visit of mine has been the best I could hope for. Dr. Pan is absolutely amazing. All the treatments I have had have delivered the results I hoped for. In addition, it’s always a pleasure to be greeted so nicely by the front office reception. They always make me feel so welcome. The office, the doctors, support staff and nurses are just amazing, and I recommend this place to anybody who is reading my review.

Dr. Pan is an exceptional plastic surgeon! I appreciate her professionalism and honesty. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair. I’ll let her work speak for itself. I had a whole piece typed up and accidentally closed it without posting it! If you have any questions, please reach out and I will answer them to the best of my ability according to my experience alone. She is very kind, understanding, and very realistic. She gives you the options and formula to get what you want, how you prepare, and mix the ingredients is all up to you. She will not sell you services for personal or financial gain. Pain management is key, but bearable without prescriptions after the first few days. Definitely not needed during week two. I underestimated the recovery process. It is a long recovery, but with a fantastic support system I did amazing. I am happy with my decision.

The best decision I ever made was to book my surgery with Dr. Pan at ESANA. My results exceeded my already high expectations- from the surgery itself to the follow up care, everything was just top of the line. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Dr. Pan is professional, intelligent, and compassionate with excellent bedside manner. She was very honest and encouraging with my surgical concerns. I’m extremely happy with my results! I was able to breastfeed 15 months after my surgery, and my breasts returned to their post-surgical size when I stopped breastfeeding. I’m also pleased with the shape, size and density of my breast thanks to Dr. Pan.

After many years of unpleasant Filler and Botox experiences and not being satisfied, I am so glad I found Dr. Pan. She is so nice and really makes sure you are comfortable. I couldn’t’ get over my Lip Filler with her- how painless it was and my Botox is the best it has ever been. Thank you Dr. Pan!

Great experience with Dr. Pan and the whole Esana team. I had wanted a breast augmentation since my teens, and finally decided to go ahead with it at age 22. I found Dr. Pan through RealSelf, and had my initial consultation with her back in February. I explained to Dr. Pan that I wanted smaller implants and wanted to remain as natural as possible. Dr. Pan understood what I wanted and needed right away, recommending me implants that would look good on my small frame, and even took into consideration that I love to run/workout. I decided to go with Dr. Pan as my surgeon without meeting with anyone else!
My surgery was initially scheduled for April, but due to the pandemic was pushed to beginning of May. I actually didn’t decide on my implant size until the day of my surgery (Dr. Pan orders 3 sizes for you) and ended up going with 225cc. The day of my surgery went so smoothly, and the only pain I had was right after surgery. Overall, my recovery went extremely smoothly. I was up and walking around easily by the third day, and only needed Tylenol after the first two nights for pain management.
Throughout the whole process, Dr. Pan kept telling me that patients usually wish they had gone bigger, and advised me to go with 250cc, but I was so afraid of having implants that were too big (especially because I started with nothing). I was scared of the adjustment and assured her that I would rather be too small than too big. But now that I am 2+ months post-op, I can honestly say I wish I had listened to her and gone just a little bigger! My biggest advice is don’t base your implant size off what other people got, or off of bra size. Everyone’s body is different so implants will look different on everyone. Listen to your surgeon and pick a size based on the look you want to have!
Overall, I am so happy with my results. I love the way my new boobs look and feel. It only took me about two weeks to adjust to them, and now I feel like this is the body I was born with. Highly recommend Dr. Pan to anyone looking to have a breast augmentation! Also thank you to Michelle and everyone else at Esana for their patience and answering all my questions.
