Bye bye boobies

Okay today is the day... Alittle nervous... See you on the other side.

Okay here it goes!!! For as long as I can remember...

Okay here it goes!!! For as long as I can remember I wanted boobies, to match my friends. They all were blessed with them… My mother always told me that you’ll get them eventually, just be patience. Well that ran out once senior year in high school came and still nothing. I have always been athletic throughout my school years into college. So I didn’t totally mind being shaped like a boy because they did not get in the way. I ran track throughout high school and college and most of my track friends were just as blessed with no boobies as I was, except one friend who had like DD.
Anywho a little about me… I’m 27 years old, I’m 5’4 and I weigh about 127lbs, no children, oh and I’m also African American. My current bra size is a 32A. I have several padded bras that I don’t fill out which are pictured above, which is sad especially when I’m wearing shirts that aren’t as tight because they tend to fall into the cups and show a weird indent. I hate the feeling of going swimming and wearing a two piece that barely stays up.
Since college I kind of fell of the working out train… since that is all I did for the majority of my life. However I’m getting back into it and when I go to the gym and look at myself in the mirror. I wish I had boobies. I’m also starting to train to be in a fitness competition. So with that being said I’m looking at getting at least a C cup.
So I told my friends and let’s just say they are on board, but a little apprehensive. Most of them say don’t go to big… I’m not planning on walking out like a [RS bleep] star!!! I want them to look as natural as possible, so people are unable to tell the difference. I am also afraid of the scars that could be left behind since I have hyper-pigmentation, especially when an area is not closed correctly.
So I went on my first consultation with Dr. Chen who was okay. He is very qualified to do it, however I did not click with him. He did not measure me and he only wanted to put 200 moderate profile in and I was thinking around the 350ish range. So I made a consultation with Dr. Mayberry next. He is an African American doctor that I felt could relate a little more to my situation with scarring. However I did not click with him either…. He did measure me, however they did not let me try on any sizers. I was also turned off by him when he enter my room without knocking thinking it was unoccupied to throw away a used syringe and then did not acknowledge me and left.
My next consultation was with Dr. Michael Hopkins. He has done one of my friends, friend and she loves them. He was very informative and measured my skin thickness and my BWD which he said is around 11.5. He also said with my body type I could go anywhere from 350 to 400 HP. Now I was kind of bummed because I wanted moderate plus profile. I had done a lot of research on each profile and silicone and saline and I had in my mind that I wanted moderate plus. But I also had concerns of underarm boob! He actually was able to explain why he chooses each profile and he compared it to my body. He stated that since my ribs are so narrow he would do HP so I would not get complications of underarm boob. He also stated that it would still look natural and he would tell me if I was going way overboard.
That day I tried on sizers and I really liked how the 375cc looked on me. He then explained the process of how he does his surgeries and where he likes to make the incision, which is under the boob which is the same place I had in mind. He also stated that he uses an inside closure technique so there would not be in dots/scars on my skin. I left his office feeling like I’m going to choose him. My mother was onboard as well… the tough part now is telling my father. HAHA!!!
