Hello ladies! I am planning on having breast augmentation with a lift in May 2012! I know its early but I am sooooo excited! I want to have as much info on this as possible. When I get to computer (I'm on my phone) I will upload pre op pics.

I plan on having verrrry large implants but my breasts are already big, I'm a DD but a very saggy DD. I would like the implants to make me a very full DD maybe even bigger!

I don't know when to do my consultation since I'm planning on surgery in May but right now I'm planning on going with Dr. Matt Chhatre! :)

Updated on 27 Nov 2011:
So my consultation scheduled for January 9, 2012! I'm hoping to get at least 700-800cc as I'm learning that any bigger with a lift probably won't work... but I think I can find happiness with 800cc :))

I will update after the consultation!

I am no longer going with Dr. Chhatre! Nothing against him, though!

Wowsa! Thanks for starting your story here on RealSelf. Any idea what type of implants you'll go with?

I want saline implants so I can have around 1300cc or as much as I can safely get... are there different kinds of saline implants?

Angiemcc (Community Manager) 23 Nov 2011

Saline implants are cool because the incision is smaller and they can be filled in the operating room. With silicone you get what you order, though many women thing they feel more natural. Why 1300cc? I actually think 1200 is the legal limit in the US, but I'd have to check for sure and get back to you on that.

On Dr. Pousti's site he has a patient that got 2900cc of saline! I saw the pics! I don't want to go that big though...and 1300cc might be bigger than I'm looking for but I just want large breasts... large enough to get noticed! Lol :)

I had my breast augmentation on November 4 with Dr. Chhatre and am very pleased with the outcome! :)

LovingM3 23 Nov 2011

Hey! I've been hoping to find one of his safisfied patients! I had already read your review! I have a consultation with him in early January! Very excited! What size were you looking for? Did you achieve you expected results? I want to be on the bigger side, I hope he is willing to do it... nothing too crazy though! Lol I'm also getting a breast lift so I know my recovery will probably be a little different than yours! Sorry for all the questions! Happy Thanksgiving grly :)

I was looking for a large C to small D. I actually haven't measured yet because my breasts are still pretty high and tight :) but I'm thinking in a couple of weeks I'll go bra shopping! YES - I am very happy with the overall appearance thus far. I brought in lots of pictures of the look I wanted and pictures of looks I wanted to AVOID. I feel that spoke to him more than a cup-size description. I consulted with 3 different plastic surgeons and Dr. Chhatre was by far superior. He was also the only surgeon prepared to give me the look I wanted. The other two were much more conservative (280cc). I was only a A - maybe a AA to start with! Dr. Chhatre used the largest implant he could (425cc) without compromising my small BWD. I truly wish I could have gone even a bit bigger! That said - I really am happy! :) Feel free to ask anything!

How was the consultation? When you say he was the only PS prepared to give you the look you wanted, did you get the feeling he's more comfortable with bigger sizes than most? Btw, I saw your pics, they look great! you look fab! How is your recovery? How many post op appointments have you had and how soon is the first one after surgery? I will be coming from Lawrence cause I go to KU so I'm just wondering how many rides ill need to get lol... I'm super curious about EVERYTHING! Thanks for answering my questions!

My first consultation with Dr. Chhatre was back in April. I scheduled 2 more initial consults with 2 other surgeons simply because I thought it was wise to get a feel for at least three surgeons prior to making a selection. That was over the course of about 3 months. In August I decided Dr. Chhatre was the best and scheduled time to try on some sizers. Shortly after I went in for my 2nd consult, where I showed him pictures and we took before pictures, and answered any questions I had. Dr. Chhatre listened to my request to put in the largest implant he could that my body would safely allow. As you go bigger, you increase your risk for complications. That said, 1300cc seems enormous to me! :) I do feel comfortable though that if your body can safely take on 1300cc's, Dr. Chhatre will accomodate that. Recovery is going really well! I was only really down for about 3 days. I cleaned my entire house for thanksgiving and have been back to work for the past 2 weeks. I had a post-op appointment 2 days after surgery (surgery on a Friday, po on Monday) I had another 2 weeks after surgery and my next is in December. I don't think I'll have another for sometime after unless he sees problems.

I noticed you voice your concern for the fact that he wasn't American Board certified, did he ever explain why he wasn't? What made you feel comfortable moving forward?

Kansas City8089 28 Nov 2011

I called and spoke to a nurse in his office and she explained it had to do with completion of his general surgical courses not being in the US - eventhough plastics were. It would have required him to basically redo all general surgery in the US to become American Board Certified. I felt comfortable in that explaination, I also spoke to two of his previous patients and they had nothing but rave reviews - thus I decided he was the right choice for me!

ok well let me just say YEAH!!!! how exciting for you. THEN let me say that from my understanding the implant SIZE you can safely "hold" depends on your breast width diameter.. THERE ARE people who push the limits. and some Dr.s too. but if you go to large there is a much greater risk of complications. SO unless that is no concern for you and you can totally afford to have re- op cash then ... BUT please DO get an opinion from a board certified PS.. for me I wanted the best look for me. mine are going to be about 400 or 425 mod plus profile.... Now WHAT brand you get will determine size too. my breast width diameter is about 13.5 SO the mentor brand in the moderate plus profile that would LOOK right would be 375- 425 cc.. does that make sence? the lower profile has a wider width and the higher or high profile is more narrow (meaning I COULD go larger if I went with a HIGHER profile...... Saline gives a more rounded look from what I understand but a lot depends on the persons body.... heck get about 3 -6 consults.. let us know what they say....

I'm sure this comment is way too late anyways, but Dr.Chhatre is awesome. I had a breast reduction done by him in October and I couldn't be happier. His staff is awesome and he has helped me through any issues I had before and after surgery. Good luck with yours! Who is your new doctor BTW? I am getting a tummy tuck within the nect couple months, I am planning on going with Chhatre again, but a second opinion could never hurt!
