So I had a consultation 3/18/13. I was told that I need a lift on my left breast and my right breast is a cup size smaller. I could always tell that my breast are not the same. I really want to do this but the cost is killing me. 8,495$ is the price tag. I just really want to know if anyone knows of a great doc that could do my breast augmentation with lift (lift only needed on left breast) at about 6,000 that's what I have. I can maybe come up with a bit more. I do live in Houston Texas so somewhere around here or the surrounding areas would be perfect. Thanks.

So I've found 3 docs that will do the Ba without a lift. I have all my appointments 2nd week of April. I can't wait! My whole point of not wanting the lift has to do with my right breast. I really don't wanna lift one and not the other. Im just not comfortable with that. So I'm super excited that I found a few docs to hear my side. If I feel like I need a lift later yes I will get one but it has to be both left and right breast.
Great review?

Hey I had mine done on 3/7 and my PS was amazing. They told me I needed a lift as well and I have one boob bigger than the other. They put two different sizes in and don't need the lift now cause they actually turned out amazing. And all for $5600. Aesthetic surgery institute dr phu do. There really great! Look into them. Plus free consultation!

Thanks for sharing this info =) Did he give you the option to say no about the lift? I have come across a few girls that opted out of a breast lift and their ps still did the BA. The ps I saw said he wouldn't do the ba if I needed a lift. I had to do both or nothing at all. I felt like I didn't have any options. Like everything was up to him. But now after reading a couple of stories on here I realize its my body and I do have options. I truly think my breast would look good with out a lift. I look at them everyday and to me nothing looks different about other than the size. I really don't wanna lift one boob and not the other. As time goes on I wonder if my right breast will sag and look very different from the left breast. U know there is just so much to think about. I will go see every ps in Houston until I find the one thats right for me. Thank you again I truly do appreciate you taking the time to pass me some information.

He told me the morning of surgery and I was like ahhhh I'm 20 years old and need a breast lift and he still did it without the lift. And honestly when I seem him 3days after BA he said they look great and now won't need the lift so if u were you I would go to my dr and see what they say. I paid 5600 for 350cc silicone and I went from a 32b to 32DD. Which is a little bigger than I wanted but I love them and they look way more natural than saline or some photos I have seen online and it was under the muscle.

Hey ladies I just wanted to say thank you to all of you. You all are very helpful and I feel a lot better now. I was so ugh over the whole consultation I had after that doc told me I would need a lift on one side. I just couldn't believe it. I have a couple of doctors I will be seeing in April so I hope to hear some great news. Like I don't need that lift lol but if I do its ok I would just have to do it so I can have my dream boobs. I will be updating everything.

I would also suggest consulting with at least one more doctor to see if they not only have different pricing, but to make sure their advice is somewhat similar. If you consider traveling, you may want to think about where you would rather be for recovery and who would help you. Sometimes that helps women make their decision too. Keep us updated!

hey pink! i would probably start your search on here. i found my PS on here.. my BA is scheduled for 5/22. he is way more than what i see most girls on here paying but i dont care. the few thousand extra im laying out is worth it for me because i know i will have a great doctor and amazing results with a 24 hour recovery. sometimes you have to think about you get what you pay for and when it comes to surgery you should be blind to the price as long as your doctor makes you feel safe secure and has great reviews and track record you will sleep better knowing you invested in the smart choice and will be better off in the end. if you need any help please feel free to PM me or respond this site is great and we are all here to help each other out : )

there are a lot of docs on here with great reviews, some even give discounts if u mention realself. hope this helps

Yes there is. I'm thinking of 2 docs I found on here one is in Houston Tx and the other near Miami Florida. I could travel to Florida get everything I need done and still not pay as much as the doc quoted me.
