Necklaces and Flattering Necklines
Nicole Gets to Experience the World of Decolletage

"Flaring hips and a flat chest - I've always had a pear-shaped body, probably a legacy of my Italian forbears. My body type is the inverse of what's considered beautiful today. These days, narrow hips and a big chest are in fashion.

Although I know I'll never have lean hips, as I reached the age of 27 - single and reasonably attractive - I realized I could come closer to the appearance I desired by evening out the proportions between my upper and lower body.

I could do this by getting breast augmentation surgery. It took a little time for me to work up my courage. Then one day, as I was shopping for the usual size 6 tops and size 10 bottoms, and looking at padded bras in size 34A, I just said "Enough!"

I deserve better than this.

Why Not Me?
A friend of mine had had breast augmentation surgery. She looked fabulous! Clearly, you didn't have to end up looking like Dolly Parton just because you wanted larger breasts. My friend told me about how her doctor had considered her frame and her rib cage size before planning her surgery. He really had an aesthetic sense of how she should look.

The Right Doctor
I spent a year-and-a-half looking for that kind of doctor, one who'd give me natural-looking results. I finally found him when I was visiting my mother, who lives in Melbourne. She suggested a consultation with Dr. Lawler.

Instant Connection
From the second I walked into Dr. Lawler's office, I had a good feeling about him. I felt comfortable, and he put me at ease. He was honest and communicative, and I felt he really listened to what I wanted.

I told Dr. Lawler that my main reason for going in for a breast augmentation was to have a better-proportioned body. He kept that in mind as he had me try different sizes and shapes of implants. He had me put them on under my T-shirt, and look in the mirror. Together we decided which shape and size flattered me the most.

Easy Does It
My mom accompanied me to the surgery. Her presence added a level of comfort I might not have felt if I'd been alone. Dr. Lawler's staff was exceptionally kind and professional, too.

Surgery is less onerous if you don't think about the details too much. So I focused instead on how nice it would be recuperating afterwards, relaxing in my mother's sunny guest room, being served tea just like when I had the flu as a child.

My mother drove me home right after the surgery. It was a while before I could lift my arms or anything heavy, but the recovery was painless. And any pain would have been worth the results!

The Bonfire
You know the first thing I did after I'd recovered fully? I gathered all my old, 34A size bras and made a merry bonfire of them. Next, I dragged a friend along to Victoria's Secret where I headed for the 34C rack, gathered an armful of gorgeous bras and went off to the fitting rooms.

My friend said the 34C bras looked snug, so I got the saleswoman to measure me. She said: "Honey, you're definitely a 34D." You can imagine my excitement - it was like a bonus! And how many bras did I buy after that? Well, as my friend says, "Too many."

A Well-Endowed Future
You can imagine how full my hips are, that even a 34D bustline doesn't look outsized on me! Yes, it's a big size, but it corrects my proportions perfectly. I think that when thin, leggy women get D cups it can look a bit phony. But my friends all agree my new breasts look like they're just the right size for my body.

At the utility company where I work, I've already recommended Dr. Lawler to a few friends. I would recommend him for any kind of plastic surgery.

Now I pay more attention to what I wear, choosing necklines and necklaces that flatter my décolletage. It's a whole new world, and I absolutely love it!"
