Let me introduce myself. I&#8217;m Michelle. I&#8217;ve worked for Dr. Heil in Pittsburgh for almost six years now. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of happy people come and go through our doors\u2014confidence boosted. Now it&#8217;s MY turn. Not to say I have issues with my confidence. I don&#8217;t. I just have issues with the way my clothes have been fitting me. I exercise semi-regularly, I DO try to watch what I eat, and I enjoy regular beverages with my girlfriends. But it all comes down to the fact that I&#8217;m a busy, working mom (with two wonderful boys who are 8 and 5 years old), and the wife of a super-supportive husband, who always says the right things.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And so it begins. I &#8216;officially&#8217; meet with Dr. Heil for my first consultation to discuss my <a href=\"\/breast-procedures-pittsburgh\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation<\/a> and liposuction of the thighs, hips, and stomach. Yes, I see him on a weekly basis. I&#8217;ve been to many events, holiday parties, etc., but I&#8217;ve never had &#8216;THE official appointment&#8217;. I have to say I&#8217;m definitely apprehensive to &#8216;take it all off&#8217; in front of the man who signs my paychecks!<\/p>\n<p>I start out with Amanda, our lovely, young physician assistant. She talks to me about my concerns and even gets a first-hand look of my far-from toned belly and teenager-like chest. Lucky her! We watch videos and look at pictures, and even try on different sized breast &#8216;enhancements&#8217;.  Ok, this isn&#8217;t so bad. Then she leaves&#8230; Dr. Heil comes in. My anxieties drift away as we start talking about different options, sizes, expectations, recovery, and so on. In fact, before I knew it I was done being &#8216;examined&#8217;. The hardest part was over and I made it through with flying colors!  This was great! Now my biggest concern is 350cc or 375cc?
