My left feels so different from my right! Anyone else experience this?
September 10th: I guess first off I'll tell...
September 10th:
I guess first off I'll tell you my stats: 5'8, 124 lbs, cup size greatly depends on bra but let's just say SMALL. Also, I am a Canadian citizen, living in the Carribean, but my fiance does his business in the USA.
I have always wanted to get my breasts done (since I was 13 and realized I would never be voluptuous), but, as a student, I couldn't afford the surgery. I don't mind so much the way I look with a shirt, or even a bra on, but I am uncomfortable with my small breasts when naked, or in certain styles of clothing (like tube tops). I have broad shoulders, and full(ish) hips, and I just feel like my breasts are not proportionate.
I just moved with my fiance to the Carribean, where I am always in exposing clothes and bathing suits (dreamy weather.) I finally have the means to get my breasts done, so I am going for it!
I looked into going to Brazil, but in the end my fiance decided it would be best to get it done in the USA, and since we are in Vegas on business next week, we figured it only made sense. I know they must do a lot of plastic surgery in Sin City.
My consultation is on Monday the 17th, with my surgery hopefully being the next day. It was so difficult to find a doctor online. There are so many options, and I have seen so many breasts in before & after shots that it makes me dizzy! I narrowed it down to two surgeons. My first choice was unavailable for the dates I was in Vegas, so I went with my second choice who still seems like a great surgeon. There are a lot of good reviews and articles about him online.
I'm feeling incredibly nervous about the outcome. I don't want to be disappointed, or end up with ugly breasts after all that money spent. I'm worried it won't be what I am expecting, or they will look too fake. I'm also worried about what I'm going to do living on this island and not being able to submerge myself in water for weeks on end! No surfing, no diving...
To be honest, my biggest worry is that my implants will take a long time to drop & fluff and I'll be walking around with "frankenboobs" for months. If I was back in Canada I could easily cover them up in the autumn weather, but it's a bit more difficult in the tropics.
I have found this site really helpful, and I hope that by posting my experience, and my photos as everything progresses, someone else will be helped as well!
September 11th: I was feeling so stressed out...
I was feeling so stressed out about not being able to see my first choice of doctor. I just have such a good gut feeling about this guy.
Anyways, I ended up emailing the office basically begging for him to squeeze me in. I told them I would send pictures, fill out paperwork and do lab work before arriving. The office manager emailed me back, and so did the doctor, a couple of times. Even though he is on vacation in the Caribbean! ( I wish he was visiting the island I live on!) I think that it is so wonderful of him, and solidifies my belief that he is the right doctor for me. So I sent the info and pictures and hopefully I get my appointment and can still have my surgery for next Tuesday! I've booked a completely fabulous suite in Vegas to recover in :)
I feel less nervous now. And after seeing those pictures... more excited than ever. Ugh, I just think my small breasts look so awful from the 'side profile' view!! I cannot WAIT to post some "after" pictures!

September 15th: I'm in Las Vegas! Meeting with...
I'm in Las Vegas! Meeting with my doctor in 2 days (Monday), then Tuesday is my surgery. I bought some Vitamin E for stretch marks and scars today that I will start using.
I'm pretty nervous. I just don't know what to expect. I want to prepare as much as I can, but I know there will be something I forget.
I'm also worried about being all alone during my recovery. My fiancé is supportive of the surgery, but he will not be very helpful during recovery. He is not the type of guy who can take care of others when they are sick, etc. I just hope I don't get too bored and crazy from being stuck in a hotel room.
