I have been wanting to get implants since I was 16...

I have been wanting to get implants since I was 16. Now after having three beautiful kids and being 29 years old I think I am ready to take the leap!!! I have my first consult tomorrow! Eeep!! I am excited and scared and well just about freaking out! I wonder if I will be able to archive the results I want with out a lift?? Or if I am even a good candidate I just can't wait to talk to a ps and see what we can come up with. I have always had strange shaped breasts and felt uncomfortable with what I have and hope that I will be able to have tatas that I can be proud of! Now off to fight my nerves... Eish what will I be like once my surgery is booked if I am nervous already? ; )

Ok I am sorry that I havent updated since I went...

Ok I am sorry that I havent updated since I went for my consault on friday however I was so confused after that I didnt even know what I would write... The Dr was fine and I am glad to have met him. I felt like he was just telling me what he thought I wanted to hear. Being that it was my first consault I didnt know what to expect but I guess I still expected a bit more then I got. It only took about 15 minuts to talk to him and then it was done. Although I did have to wait for an hour and a half as he was late. He wasnt rude or anything but i dont know how to discribe it... He was not the dr for me I guess. He said it is the same price for either saline or silicone and I thought that was strange. (is that odd??) and I guess for him the price does not change based on size either... I am just really confused and for a bit I thought you know, I would be stupid to do this to my body... But I want to do this. People thought I was stupid when I got my first tattoo and the next and the next hahaha!! and I will do this too! I am going to go see more PS's and I will find the right one for me. I am very nervous about meeting more drs at the moment but it will pass.

I am also struggling with the idea of spending so much money on myself. I know i could stick to my plan and have the money saved up and get my surgery done in january if I tried really hard but I am a mom of three little people and I dont want to sacrifise any thing with them. I want to go on holiday with husband and them in febuary... I guess i just have to see where life goes and if I can budget enough to do both then I will be a very happy mamma!! If not I will have to delay my surgery ... that shouldnt be hard as I cant find a dr... haha I sure hope to have happy perky boobies for my thirtith birthday!! That may be the new goal boobies by april!! Sorry for rambling but ... well thats just kindof what i do... haha
Great review?

Hey did you ever get your surgery?

Hi Stellaella, I saw 2 different PS in Edmonton and decided to go with Dr. Edwards. He has excellent credentials and was so nice. His staff was caring too. My husband liked his professionalism. Dr. Edwards did a very thorough exam on my first consultation and the day of surgery was a breeze. I was impressed that he took the time to clean the Sharpie drawings off my chest, I've seen many pics here of dotors who didn't bother. I would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards.

Congrats on your decision! I go in 3 days! I saw 4 docs in Edmonton before I made my decision! I found that to be a wise choice! Keep us posted on your journey!

Which drs did you see and who'd you decide to go with?
Stellaella 29 Oct 2012
I went to see dr. Giuffre but I haven't quite picked a dr. Yet. I am a bid confused after talking to dr. Giuffre he is a very nice man however there is no difference in cost between saline and silicon with him? Is that strange that he charges like a flat rate?? I thought it was... Odd?? Any way I am at a stand still for the moment finding a doctor. :( and slightly disappointed.

How did your consult go?
Stellaella 26 Oct 2012
It went well actually the cost will be higher then I thought but that happens. I liked dr giuffre he was late for the appt of course but he was straight to the point. I think I want to talk to a couple more drs before I make my decision I am trusting these guys with my body lol.
