“I’m adventurous and I try things. Having breast enhancement doesn’t deprive you of that. After a week, I was already sandboarding in Laoag! It felt like I had it all my life!”
Radio personality, Angelika Schmeing-Cruz also known as “Angelicopter”, as she is more popularly known on the morning show Good Times with Mo, boldly shares her experience in having breast augmentation procedure with the Belo Medical Group.
Like every other woman, Angelika longed to have a proportionate body even before getting married and going through pregnancy. She recalls the time when she was still a caller on Good Times with Mo and DJ Mo witlessly asked her “Do you want a boob job?” to which she replied YES!, without any hesitations.
Standing at 5’7, Angelika admits that she’s always had difficulty looking for the perfect dress to wear because of her big buttocks, slim waist but less than average chest size. Little did she know that the worse was yet to come! When she was pregnant, her chest size went up from a cup B to a cup D. However, after giving birth, her breasts“deflated like pancakes! That’s when I decide I need to get my boobs done!”
More and more women choose to have breast augmentation or breast lift after giving birth because of the same “pancake effect.” The breasts lose volume after pregnancy.This is why Breast Augmentationis one of the most commonly performed and most coveted cosmetic operations. Primarily, women desire the results of this surgery due to the commonly perceived definition of ideal beauty. The size and shape of the breasts have become extremely important to a woman in her perception of her body and in her concept of self.
Although Angelika was already decided that she wanted a new, sexier body, she had her share of fears.“There’s a scary feeling that it is permanent, not to mention that my threshold for pain is zero!” Her fears were easily dismissed. “Dr. Vicki Belo approached me and I had a check-up with Dr. Caparas. They explained each and every step of the procedure and what I might feel and what I must do. I instantly felt comfortable and even more excited!”
Belo provides natural-looking implants to complement the total look, giving you a new body and improved confidence. With the use of the cohesive silicone gel prosthesis, it looks more natural and completely safe. The procedure takes about 2-4 hours inclusive of recovery period, and is done under general anesthesia on an out-patient basis.
Aside from the easy and safe procedure, Angelika swears by the care and concern that the staff has shown all throughout her experience. “The medical staff always reminded me to avoid strenuous activities and to massage, massage, MASSAGE! The care and concern doesn’t end after the surgery. After surgery, they check up on you always. After 1 week, they check up on you again, even after 4 months they still check on me.”
When asked if she made the right decision she declares “Most definitely! There are no regrets and I believe I made the right decision! What I love about it is that I can fit in clothes better. Now I can wear even strapless dresses and it fits perfectly and won’t fall! No more pads! I don’t even have to wear a bra”.
Angelica shares these final words for all women who wish to try and become their most beautiful version of themselves. “It’s not for other people. It’s for yourself. Thank you, Belo. Now I have a great body and people can’t even tell I had anything done!”
