WORTH IT$4,500
I have been doing so much research on breast augmentation. Thanks to RealSelf and all the lovely ladies on here for being honest and upfront.
I am 25 years old, weigh 135 lbs and am 5'5" tall. I have a pear shaped body and by thighs and butt are disproportionate to my upper body (I am very muscular). I have been wanting implants since I was about 18 years old.
I went for my first consultation yesterday with Dr. Hunstad in Huntersville, NC. I read his research on PubMed and his credentials appealed to me. He seemed very down to earth and very informative during my consultation.
We discussed having 375-400(right) or 400-425(left breast is smaller) silicon implants placed subfascially through my areola. He recommended under the breast crease, but I was worried about keloid scar formation and we decided the areolar would be best. I was very pleased that his infection rate is 0% and he explained all the procedures and prophylatic measures they take in the office to prevent infection.
I am looking around for another doctor for a consulation to get a second opinion and decide who I prefer. Any suggestions in the Charlotte/Huntersville NC area would be wonderful!

I am considering having a consultation with Gregory Swank at Piedmont Plastic Surgery in Hickory. A girl friend's sister of mine had implants placed by him and she loves them. Hopefully by the end of January I'll have my consultation :). Any suggestions would be great~!

I am having my surgery with doctor hunstad on March 20th and we have similar stats( I am going to get 425cc silicone mod high profile) except I am much older then you. I went with doctor hunstad because of his credentials as well and I wanted the subfascial placement too. Good luck with your other consultation.

In the hickory area there is Dr. Siciliano. I didn't go to him because I really liked the subfascial placement Dr. Hunstad specializes in.

Good luck! Keloiding is an issue with me too, so we went with periariolar incision and so far it seems to be working out. My doc said if I have ANY sign of keloiding, I need to go back immediately for a steriod injection. That's something you could ask about when you go for your consult. Also, I saw about 4 docs pre-surgery - I'm glad you're exploring your options.

Thanks for the info! I will definitely look into the injection if necessary.
