Every year that goes by I feel myself getting more depressed. My photos are proof.. I just want these beautiful breast on me . It keeps bothering me the more I go with out following through, I'm just so scared to not to the right thing , want to make sure I pick the perfect doctor to take care of me and my situation.

So I just needed to let this out .. In 2 weeks I will have new boobies . Some one please tell me if this is normal ! I'm scared and nervous !! We left off with high profile silicone under muscle and they are pre ordering 450, 475 and 500 those numbers scare me is this normal ? I'm a c going to a d . On my pre op my doc said 375 , 400. The front desk lady told me 450, n even 553 ultra high but I said I didn't feel comfortable going that big

Need a doctors honest opinion !!

Ok so let's be honest from my pictures I think it's obvious what my problem is. In your expert opinion what implant would u say is the better choice for ME and MY body ! I'm uneven no shape at all no volume at all! Just want to see what other doctors think. Would u say a high profile would suite me ? And what are ur thoughts on saline or silicone ?

Day 2 !

This is me day 2!

So it's 2am . Woke up in pain can't sleep . Just took a norco figured I could right something before I try n sleep. I got my lift with silicone implants Friday the 11 th at 7 am. It's been hard
To do almost anything alone . It's been uncomfortable more than anything . Been waking up in middle of night a lot.

Just curious. Do you not have enough tissue to do a lift only and get the results you want?
  • Reply
We'll not necessarily I have plenty of skin and tissue the problem is one of my breast is a lot smaller than the other
  • Reply
They could do a reduction of the one to match and then a lift?
  • Reply
Yes and getting implants

Have you shared "wish boob" photos with your doctor? This might help alleviate your concern of going too big.

Glad to hear you have found your dream doctor! What type and size implants did you discuss with your doctor? Will you need any type of lift? We'd love to hear more details!

Hooray! Glad you found the perfect doctor. How was your consultation? Bet your PS confirmed your breast were nit ugly...I'm scheduled a week after you, for now we settled for 350-375 cc mod + under. I say for now bc every other day I'm changing my mind. Will make a final at pre op appointment. Very nervous and thrilled at the same time...

Your breasts are really not horrible! Many women need a lift and are so happy with their results. A lift might sound scary with possible scarring but most scars are barely visible after a year of healing. In fact, here is a 23 year old member, wonderful_one, who is healing beautifully from her lift with implants.

Sounds like you've had several doctor consults. I would first make sure your PS is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. After that, start narrowing down your list with questions such as "Which surgeon would I feel most comfortable with performing my surgery?" Then look at reviews from other members who used that surgeon. View before and after photos of surgeries performed by the surgeon. Does this possibly help you narrow down your list of possible doctors?

Feel free to share what the doctors have told you thus far regarding what type of lift and implants would be a good fit for you.
