Breast Augmentation: Stories

After considering breast augmentation for many years, I have finally decided to go through with it at the age of 35. I met with a respected ps recommended by several friends who received saline implants via trans umbilical surgery. I initially was considering the trans umbilical route, but after much research have decided that silicone are the choice for me, which I understand cannot be placed this way.

This surgeon was super friendly, informative, and knowledgeable with more than 30 years of experience (ps board certified of course). However, I get the feeling that his preference is saline TUBA. Every time I have mentioned silicone, the staff seems to not necessarily discourage it, but makes a point to say things like, oh you should really go with saline, that's what we all have, etc.

Also, they do not have silicone in stock and have to special order them which makes me think that this ps may not perform silicone implant augmentation frequently.

So my question is, is this a problem? Should I try and find a plastic surgeon who is "pro silicone" or does this matter as long as he is reputable, experienced, etc.?

Well I met with another ps and felt great about him after a thorough consultation. He explained his aesthetic approach and I feel confident that we share the same vision. He was very thorough and went over everything with me. I actually scheduled my procedure thinking this is the one. However someone I know told me that he actually doesn't do that many breast augmentations in his practice. My question is how often should a qualified ps be doing them to be considered? I really trust him and will be calling the office on Monday to ask how frequently he does them.

I saw a third plastic surgeon and knew he was right for me! I have officially scheduled my surgery for Feb. 27th and now I can't quit obsessing about boobs!

I just ordered a front close sports bra and some comfy clothes for the big day. Pre-op appt is next week. I should probably try to get my mind back on my day to day activities, but I am so excited it's hard to not think about! Who else is with me? :)
