How Giselle increased her confidence
Giselle got breast implants to help her achieve a more feminine body contour that she lost from her vigorous physical training as a fitness model.
The Details:
GISELLES DREAM
Fitness models follow a strict diet and exercise regimen that is designed to reduce their body fat percentage to create muscles. Since the breasts are composed partially of fat, fitness models often experience a decrease in their breast size.
“It got to the point where I was becoming so insecure that I was quickly losing motivation to train, I started giving up on my aspirations.”
Giselle decided that she would get breast implants to improve her appearance, which would help her maintain the confidence and strength she needed to continue in her pursuit to becoming a top fitness model.
“I knew I owed it to myself to do this and to feel incredible. So I did… I won my first show, and continued on an excellent journey in fitness.”
Looking back, she does admit that she had reservations when she first considered getting breast augmentation. “I was a little nervous about the procedure being painful or uncomfortable, like most women. I was also really nervous about not being able to breastfeed if I had a baby.”
Some common questions many patients ask is whether breast augmentation will negatively impact the ability to breastfeed. A number of studies have shown that breast augmentation does not adversely affect breastfeeding.
“Well, I had a baby 11 months ago and I breastfed, no problems there at all. I was able to breastfeed my baby and after almost 7 years, they still look incredible!”

SHE HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE HER DREAMS
Once Giselle decided to get implants, she began the arduous process of finding the right plastic surgeon. “Do your research. Find out about your MD before having the surgery because this is a big step.”
Giselle decided that Dr. Edelstein would be the right plastic surgeon for her. “Dr. Edelstein was so professional and gave his honest advice on what would look good based on your shape.”
After her surgery was complete, Giselle was surprised at how different the experience was compared to what she had originally thought. “It was actually A LOT less painful than I expected. Dr. Edelstein prepared me for what I was to expect, how to take care of myself and more or less what I would experience during healing time.”
Her recovery was easy, “Recovery was a breeze! One of the biggest pieces of advice I tell friends or colleagues undergoing the procedure is to really listen to your MD about post-procedure care. That avoids any surprises and/or problems. After the surgery, once the swelling went down and I was able to wear a bikini – wow, it was an incredible feeling that I will always remember. Dr. Edelstein was absolutely perfect! Everyone always comments on how natural my breasts look and that’s exactly what I wanted.”
Since her breast augmentation, her life has improved. “My quality of life has changed because I am SO much more confident in my own skin, I am able to wear whatever I like and feel good in just about anything. I don’t need to hide or be ashamed. Also, I have been able to pursue my dreams and aspirations in the fitness industry. I am so happy. It hasn’t set me back in anyway and I’ve had no restrictions.”
Giselle won her first fitness competition. Her biggest fitness idol handed the trophy to her.“It was an incredible moment. I felt like I was on top of the world!”
“I decided to have cosmetic surgery because I wanted to get into fitness competitions and maintain a feminine look. As soon as I started training, the first place I would lose (fat) would be my breasts.”
