I did it because I've always wanted to and I'm done having children. I'm really pleased. My recommendation...if you wear padded bras - which I did before - decide if you want to look bigger or the same size as that. Then decide based off of the 'try-on' implants what size that could be (go from bra to implant), then use the digital software that Dr. Hunstad has in his office to confirm the size.
For a while I was worried I hadn't gone big enough in the beginning, which I think is normal for most people after talking to a few people who have done this - I've realized now that they are perfect. I went big enough so people at work don't really notice, but when I want people to notice I can :)...make the decision on what is best for you - and decide if you will be more disappointed if they aren't big enough or if you are going to be worried if they are too big. Then error on that side - if you worried about being too small, you might want to step it up one, if you are worried about them being too big, you might want to step down one. The sizing for me was the hardest part.

My rating:
I visited 3 doctors before deciding to have my breast augmentation surgery done at the Hunstad Center by Dr. Hunstad. Dr. Hunstad and his staff were very friendly & informative. They made me feel comfortable and provided me with a lot of the information I needed to make the best decisions for my surgery. They were very flexible and let me return to the office as often as needed to help assure me that I would get the results I was looking for. The new digital imaging software they have in the office was a huge help - it helped me to decide the appropriate size for my body - this was something I couldn't find offered at any other office in Charlotte, NC. All and all I am extremely please with my results and had a great experience with Dr. Hunstad and the Hunstad Center for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. I will definitely be back if I decide to have anything else done. ONE HINT: I found that if you get an earlier morning appointment, the wait times are shorter and they have GREAT coffee, so ask for some when you arrive:).

Thank you for your sage input about choosing breast implant sizes. Did you end up going with saline or silicone?
