Getting Close, but the what ifs have happened...
Hi ladies and gents,
Well, I fly out on the 9th to Bangkok for my appointment on the 10th with Dr. Teerasit Sripanidkulchait. I get excited and then the what ifs start creeping in. This is super frustrating. I've paid for flights and accommodation, but I feel as though I'll have wasted everything if I don't go through with it. But, if I don't feel comfortable with Dr. T as a surgeon then I shouldn't do it anyway. Ugh. I wish I could go into the future just to see if I make the right decision for myself.
I keep worrying about if something goes wrong, then I'll have ruined my small boobies forever. Or if nothing goes wrong and I end up just hating them. OR what if I love them! So many what ifs.
What has everyone else done to mute the what ifs before their consults/surgery?

1st consultation!!
So, I decided to get an opinion of plastic surgeon in my home town because I was going crazy over the size, type and insertion for the BA.
It was a great consultation and I really liked the doctor, but plastic surgery in Australia costs lots of money compared to Thailand, so I won't be using him mainly because of costs.
Anyway back to the consultation. So the PS was Dr. Vucak at the Queensland Plastic Surgery centre, he was very lovely and super nice! He was very informative and surprised me by offering polyurethane breast implants. It was interesting to see the differences in capsular contracture between the different types of implants (had a nice pamphlet). But, I don't like the idea of puttying polyurethane in my body, so I'll get a silicone shelled one.
It was great actually seeing implants and feeling them! He prefers to do textured because of the lower CC than the smooths. He measured the width of my chest on each side and it was around 11.9 cm. So, he said I probably shouldn't go above that or I could have side boob issues. I also have a slight issue with my rib cage, one side -the right, actually projects out more than my left, which he said would make giving me cleavage difficult. I am fine with that, just means I would get some awesome bras.
So I saw textured 355 cc MP (smooth) and a 445 HP (textured), I think these are right, but I am going to call them tomorrow and ask again what they were cause I was a bit overwhelmed at the consultation. I even forgot to ask about muscle deformity, which was frustrating because I am really worried about it being a fit person.
He said because of my height and weight that I can pull off the 445 HP perfectly fine. The surgery would be under the muscle and infammary incision which is what I was expecting completely. Well, now I just have to wait for Thailand in February!
Thanks for reading!
I was thinking that the 445 HP might be what I go for when I see the doctor in Thailand. I just keep thinking how weird it is going to be to have BOOBIES.

Hello ladies (and gents!) Just first want to...
Hello ladies (and gents!)
Just first want to thank everyone who has posted their breast augmentation reviews on Realself! I think I have read all of them by now while educating myself on getting a BA and this would be a scary choice to make without everyone's insights and experiences. Now, on to why I am getting a breast augmentation.
I have always been flat chested, even in high school. I hate it so much! Everyone around me was getting boobs and all I had was small pointy buds. Fast forward years down the road and I am still unhappy with my breast size. I can change everything about myself through diet and exercise except for increasing the size of my breast. I don't go clothes shopping or bra shopping because I hate how I look. I haven't purchased a bra since I got the VS "bombshell", which was about 8 years. So, through lots of back and forth I finally have decided to go through with it. I am not going to spend the next 28 years of my life hating my body.
I have been trying to decide on who to do the surgery and it is currently between a PS in Australia and a PS in Thailand. I happen to be going on holiday in Thailand in February, so I was thinking of just checking it out. I was lucky enough to chat with a women here who has gummy bear implants under the muscle (and I got to feel them too!) and I was pretty impressed with their naturalness. I am thinking since I am skinny I will have to go under the muscle using silicone implants. I am not sure about cc's, but I currently have an consultation on December 8th with a PS here. Can't wait!
