After stalking MANY websites and having in person consults with 2 other surgeons, I liked every breast aug on Dr. T's website and decided to go with him! (Plus he had a surgery date open on Dec. 26th which in my mind was the ultimate date to take a vacation, work would be slow etc.) All of the BAs on Dr. T.'s website had the look that I was going for and during my pre-op appointment I actually brought in my iPad and showed him what I wanted. I will point out that I had an opportunity to use a much cheaper PS and decided not to use him. The results on his website were not the look I was aiming for. This is your body, health and life - don't bargain shop like you are buying a new pair of shoes. ;) The boobs that I am aiming for: http://www.thesigerplasticsurgery.com/PhotoGallery_50.aspx?gid=232621#Content I told Dr. T. I wanted to be a D cup (I started at a deflated, barely B cup). Initially he recommended 425 ccs silicone mid-range profiles, under the muscle. I ended up going with the 457's and boy I'm glad I just went bigger from the get go! Most doctors are very conservative and #1 complaint of BA patients is that they wish they went bigger. We are going through this process, discomfort, etc. I surely was not doing it just to be 1 size bigger. Just sayin' .. He also recommended Arnica & Bromelain pills and the cream and used drains which I think helped SOOO much. My recovery was SO much better than what I expected!! I was massaging the day after my surgery with NO PAIN! *** MY ONLY ADVICE TO EVERY WOMAN CONSIDERING A BA IS TO GO BIGGER! ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW WISHES THEY WENT BIGGER FROM THE GET GO .. SO WHATEVER CCS YOU AND YOUR PS ARRIVE AT - ADD 25 OR 50CCS TO THAT #. CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH .. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 425 AND 457 (as in my case) IS NOT THAT MUCH! :) *** I also have to say if I had to do it all over I would in a heartbeat. If I had to do this once a year, I would do it! (If it didn't cost what it did, of course.) Best money I have ever spent on myself. xoxo
