Hello!! So I'm 26 years old.. 5'1'' and 115 lbs. I am very active, and since high school I have lost around 12-15 lbs!! And guess what.. The first thing to go was my boobs :( I used to be a full C... now I am lucky to get into a B! I have completely lost all tissue at the top of my boobs .. So now it's like a small slope up top and a small boob. I miss feeling like a woman!! Also one boob is noticeably smaller than the other. I am a runner and also do things like cycling, weight lifting, and yoga. My diet is high protein but balanced. I just don't see myself ever getting my boobs back.. even when I have gained weight here and there they have stayed small.

So I am calling tomorrow to set up some consultations with a few doctors in the area!! Very excited :)

I'm excited for you! Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. How many consultations do you think you'll go on?

Oh good! I don't have any recommendations for you, but if you go up to the Doctor Finder at the top of the page you can look for surgeons in your area. Keep us posted!

Ok so as of now I have two consultations set up, one at the end of this month and the other at the end of march! I would love to see another surgeon I have heard wonderful things about, but he does his surgeries in the same hospital I work in! Awkward :/

Hello! If you are willing to travel out of state. Look into Dr. Hedden, Birmingham AL! He has a wonderful web page! Good luck!

If you're willing to do a little traveling, you may want to check out Dr. Kalus: http://www.plasticsurgerycarolina.com/surgeon-dr-kalus-charleston-sc/ I had my consultation with him after a 2 hour drive from Columbia on Monday, and I feel very confident he can deliver the results I'm looking for. I will have my surgery on Valentine's Day! I can't believe it's just 1 week away....WOW! I'll post before and after pics soon. Good luck with your journey!

I'm so sorry to hear your consultation was such a disappointment. Hopefully, the next one will be everything you were looking for and more. But if not, I am 2 weeks Post-Op today, and I honestly cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kalus and his entire group near Charleston, SC. I know it's not exactly local for you, but it honestly might be worth the trip! Best wishes to you!

I am also from Charlotte. I just had mine done 3 weeks ago by Dr. Thomas Liszka at Ballantyne Plastic Surgery. My surgery was at PHM, but most of his surgeries are at an outpatient center in Ballantyne (I was having hernia repair too by another surgeon). Good luck to you!

So I went to my first consultation yesterday. I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I felt after leaving. The entire time I was rushed, no one took their time with me and I hardly had a chance to ask questions. I am completely reconsidering everything.

You should get another opinion. This is for YOU. And you're paying for it directly so they should treat you really well. I would just go see another couple of PS. Let me know if you have any questions! I would be happy to help :)! Good luck!
