So after reading so many reviews and following so...

So after reading so many reviews and following so many stories, I should so ahead and begin mine. A little bit about myself, I am a 30something, mother of 1 (which I breast fed). I am apprx 5'8 and weigh anywhere from 134-142 lbs. I am currently a 32 A/B. the cup size depends on the style of bra. I have been considering a BA (off and on) for years now. Before I had my son, I was tall and lean, any (like most woman pre-breast feeding) my breast were full an perky. Still on the small size, but they fit (my then 110 lb frame.) I was a full B cup and with me being so small, my breast size was never really an issue. It wasn't until after I had my little one and was finished breast feeding did I notice my boobs had taken a major hit. While i had filled out in the hips and bum, and my waist regained its pre-baby size, my breast were not able to bounce back. Because I only had the one child, I decided to put off considering getting a BA until after I knew (for sure) I was done having kids. Well almost 10 years later and no more kiddos, I figured it was time for me to reconsider getting the BA. So here I am to present day, and I find myself more and more self conscience about my breast, and wanting a fuller appearance. So I began to seriously consider a BA, and not for the reason of trying to look better for others, but because I want to be more confident with myself. I hate the fact that ever single bra I own, (everyday bra, special occasion bra, t-shirt bra, sport bra, strap-less bra) I mean every single bra I own is padded in some shape, form or fashion. Even the my swimsuit tops are padded. While I do not feel like a "teen age boy" or anything I am not happy with the current size of my breast. So I figured I can do one of two things: 1. Do nothing and continue to hide behind padded bras, and push up everything, and somehow pretend to be confident when I'm naked or being intimate (with the bf) or I can 2. Do something about and chance the way I see myself, change the way I look at myself. I choose option #2 I few months ago (which I first began to seriously research getting a BA) I came across Spectrum in Miami Fl. The price was amazing and I figured why not. The consultation is free and done via the internet, so what do I have to lose? So i emailed and contacted a representative from Spectrum. I uploaded my front and side pictures and awaited a response. In my head, I knew I did not want to go too big. I figured somewhere in the 325-350CC size. So when I was advised I should go 450CC I almost hit the floor. I understand I am tall and that I may be able to handle the size, 450cc just seems way too big for me. Also when corresponding with the representative, I was advise the price (which was amazing) would include the price of pre-lab work, surgery, anesthesia, breast implant and 1 follow up with staff (12 months after surgery) Now I understand Spectrum wanting to get their money and them having a high patient rotation, but I was a little put off by only getting 1 follow up and with it being a year after the initial surgery. From all the reviews I have read, I should be seem 1 week OP, 4 weeks OP, 8 weeks OP etc. Not just a 12 months after the fact, what happens if something goes wrong before now and then? I know a lot of Dr.s don't like to pick up where another Dr. left off especially if it is correct something. In speaking with my BF, he told me I should having nothing to worry about and if anything went wrong I wold be directed to the ER, which didn't make me feel any better. (lol) So I'm at a cross roads of do I pay a lesser amount and skip the pleasantries of a follow up visit, or do I pay almost double for the creature comforts, and to have something tell me everything is great...and not to worry? Any suggestion ladies? So, just because I am research person, and I like to know any and all options available to me, I have schedule my first face to face consultation for Sept 3, 2015. Honestly, I'm not sure if I will selecting this Dr, He was literally the first one to get me in, and I kinda wanted a F2F with a real Dr, so hopefully some of my questions about size, shape, and my asymmetry could be addressed. (I feel the representative from Spectrum tried to rush me through the consultation, but it was an on-line consultation so that does account for something.) Anyhow, I am excited to be speaking with and getting a live consultation about my BA. I really have no expectations but in my research I have determined the following: 1. I would like my CC's to be under the muscle, 2. with an under the breast incision, 3. Moderate plus, 4. round implants. (i considered tear drops, but i heard shaped and textured implants could flip around and change directions in the pocket. 5. I also want silicone. I have no idea on the brand, or size as of yet, I would like something very "natural looking." Hopefully I will be able to try on sizers in office and take some pictures to help me in deciding my size. I will post my next update after the consultation, hopefully with pictures and a little more details on my recommended size. TTYL!
