Hello,
This site has been so helpful to my journey toward some lovely new assets I thought I should contribute. It might also give me a good outlet because if my boyfriend has to hear one more thing about boobs I think he might cry. After years of wanting and wishing I have decided to start the process and get me some new boobies. I'm 23yrs old - 10B , 160 cm, 46kg, no kids , living on the Gold Coast in Queensland. I have saved all of the money I need and its really just about finding the right surgeon and making the right choices so I can be boobalicious.

So far I have booked a consult with Dr Phil Richardson - due to take place on 5/11/14. This one is going to cost me $150, which I can pay on the day. The annoying thing for me about the consult was although Dr Richardson performs surgery on the Gold Coast he only consults in Fortitude Valley and North Lakes - so i'm gunna have to road trip for that one. I decided to have a looky with Dr Richardson because I know some girls with killer racks and sure enough he is their surgeon. I have also read some not so great reviews on him so I'll have to see the vibe I get and let you know. I see some people don't find him to be very personable which kinda worries me because I can be a bit shy when I am not confident in my environment (aka have my boobs out in front of a stranger) and I don't want to miss any info cause i'm to nervous to prompt him on things.

I have also contacted Esteem Medispa on the Gold Coast their surgeon is Dr Terrance Scamp. I only emailed today and i'm waiting to hear back. Dr Scamp wasnt even on my radar at all and then I stumbled across some before and after pictures of his I liked and thought i'd give him a go on that basis. I think he also has one of those vectra machines so you can see a profile of what you will look like after surgery, and because i'm totally lost on the whole size issue this would be helpful. I have hear Dr Scamp is quiet matter - of - fact, which might not be so bad because I can be pretty indecisive.

AND

I've also sent off and online assessment to 'cosmeditour' on the Gold Coast. This company does trips to Thailand (which I am not comfortable doing - even though i've some beautiful results) but they now offer a deal on the Gold Coast - $6880 for breast augmentation. The deal is that a more junior surgeon does your surgery under the supervision of Dr Layt or Dr Luke Stradwick (both of whom I was seriously considering seeing/going with). I'm a bit unsure about this because it seems like good value - but I don't really want to be taking short cuts/cheaping out with my boobs - or any other part of my anatomy. I'm going to see the advice I get and compare it to the others so I can better judge if theres any compromise for the lower price.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions of other surgeons or feedback on the ones I mentioned. I'll pop some 'before' pictures up aswell so everyone knows what i'm working with!

Hey there. We seem to have the same shape to our boobs :) I almost made the mistake of going to a doctor who would SUPERVISE the surgery, only. This was at about $4,000 when it normally costs about $6,500. I wasn't comfortable. It's your body. Make sure someone who has experience is handling it

Have you decided who to go to yet? I'm booked in with dr Justin Perron.

Hi nzboobies, What date are you getting yours done by Dr. Justin Perron? I am booked in on the 5th but I don't know who my surgeon is yet?
November 5, 2014
I can't go with cosmeditour on the Gold Coast because my boobs aren't considered a 'standard case' because of some mild sagging. I have seen that Dr Perron is now working with Dr Layt at the Layt clinic and that place has a great reputation so I'm sure in safe hands! I wish these puppies were a bit perkier so I could consider it!

Hi Emilyyy23, Just letting you know I was all booked in for Thailand, but by the time I added all the costs up it wasn't going to be much cheaper then getting it done here on the Gold Coast. So I am now booked in for the 5th December for a BA through Cosmeditour. The surgeons are not Juniors, I had a consult today and the surgeons are fully qualified and have been doing plastic surgeries for the last 5+ years (the only reason they're cheaper is that they are the head surgeons off siders, they are not by any means deemed incompetent to do the right job). Especially if Doctors like Dr. Layt & Dr. Stradwick are over seeing the procedure. I doubt there will be any issues. Yes I have my reservations no matter who my surgeon is, but at the end of the day these surgeons have plenty of experience they are just not the head surgeons. So I am happy with this. Hope this helps & I will keep in touch after my surgery :)

Yes I was defs warming to the idea but I'm not considered a 'standard case' cause my boobs have mild ptosis :( Now I'm paranoid about that - google has been getting a big workout on the topic lol. You lucky girls - I'm sure your boobs will be great I'd still love to know how you go!

Update on consults!

Emilyyy23
So I thought I'd write an update on my progress so far! I wasn't able to go with cosmeditour as I wasn't considered a 'standard case' because I have mild ptosis (aka sagging) :(

But I have had a consult with Dr Richardson and one booked next week with Dr Scamp.

The consult with Dr Richardson was a pretty confusing experience to be honest. We ran through the basics very quickly - we agreed an incision under the breast fold and he recommended a textured round silicon implant which I was happy with. He didnt think the ptosis was significant enough to warrant a lift and that implants should help. My breast are uneven (well everyone's are) so he recommended 40cc more in one implant. Then we got to sizing - and I was lost! He didn't really offer a recommendation and I wasn't sure what sizes I was trying on - I do understand choice of size is a personal decision but I would have liked a recommendation and then to go from there (aka see if it was to big or small) . So as a result I've come out confused with no idea about size! I was quoted 10,200 for the whole shebang. I am defiantly going to need another consult if I do go with him and I think I'll take someone to help me with size cause I felt so out of my depth in that department despite living and breathing boobs for the last 3 months. Dr richardson seems lovely and a competent doctor but I suppose I was hoping for more guidance because this is a big decision and he is the expert. I have a consult with Dr Scamp next week so I'll see how that goes. Maybe it was just me being
nervous who knows lol. How was everyone else's experience?

Found 'the one' aka my surgeon! :)

Well today I had my consult with Dr Scamp and I definitely left with a spring I my step! He was really through and informative - in comparison to Dr Richardson he did heaps of measurements and drew on me etc. I got to have a look at the 3D Vectra machine so i could see what they'd look like (uhhh big!!!) and he helped guide me to a size I was happy with - this consult felt like a breeze and I left feeling confident and not confused and unsure. I tried on the sizers and was happy - 375cc round textured silicon, under the muscle high profile. I felt really comfortable and didnt feel pressured Dr Scamp was down to earth and went through everything with me in detail. He was realistic in explaining my left breast is a different shape to the right and that this will be the same after surgery - he said that the actual size difference isn't significant it's the shape and he took photos so he could show me. He said there was a bit of sag but nothing he'd worry about just yet. I feel really at ease and confident with Dr Scamp he spent a good 40 minutes with me in comparison to my last consult that was 15 minutes. And the consult was free...not $150 like my last one! My quote is about $7361 - plus hospital and anaesthesit it's rounds up to about $9500. So I've just got to check dates with work for leave but I'm looking at the 21/01/15 for my new rack! There were dates on the 17th and 18th of December but I don't wanna be out of action for Christmas so I'll stick with January I think :)
