5"3 petite frame 32A going for Saline Implants - San Diego, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I've been contemplating on having a breast...

WORTH IT$5,000
I've been contemplating on having a breast augmentation for 3 years now. I'm 5"3 , petite frame and my bust size is 32 A. It's so hard to shop for clothes, especially bikini tops. Those who have small busts can relate to this. I'd be buying my bras at Victoria's Secret that can add 2 cups, its called the bombshell :-).. Having small breasts definitely lowered my self esteem, up to a point that i would not go to the beach or pool cause its embarrassing, and I would feel bad for my husband cause we can't enjoy the summer. So i searched for doctors online, and saw Dr. Poustis site. I immediately called and scheduled an appointment. I went there on May 29th, it wasn't hard to find their clinic. The place is so clean, the staff is friendly and made me feel so welcome. I was escorted to the other room by Daisy. And let me tell you something, she's a total sweetheart. She made me feel calm, and explained everything to me. We talked for a long time, and talked about anything, She's so funny and i had fun talking to her. Then, Dr Pousti came in. All i can say is, he's so professional, explained the procedure well and what to expect. I left the clinic with a big smile, knowing im in good hands. The next time i came in, was to pay the deposit and have my pregnancy test. Then i met with Vanessa, she's so accomodating and helped me choose sample pictures of what look i wanna go for,the shape and etc. I decided to go for saline implants with a round, full look. My surgery was yesterday, June 21st at 11:30 am. The nurses took care of me so well, and made me calm.They're so friendly and warm.And my anesthesologist is so sweet and ensured me that i will be taken care of. The last time i remember, she was putting this mask on me, and i fell asleep. When i woke up, the first thing i did was look at my breast :-).. I have boobies now lol! The nurse at the recovery room is so sweet, she gave me meds for nausea, and helped me change clothes. She put me in a wheelchair and took me outside where my husband was waiting by our car. I felt so sore and feels like theres an elephant on my chest, but percocet and valium really helps. My post op visit will be on Monday, by then il be posting pics... thank you to Dr. Pousti and his staff, and all the nurses that helped me..

Can't wait to see my new boobies lol.. I'lbe posting pics as soon as i can. Still feeling a little drowsy but i can stand up and walk around. I dont feel so sore anymore compared to yesterday.

I was told that I wouldn't be this sore after surgery :( this is worse than my tummy tuck but that was a year ago I may just have short memory lol. All I got for pain was Percocet it doesn't help me any and the sports bra I have to wear for the next two weeks is digging into my stitches or at least that's how it feels. Hope your day is going better than mine. I can't wait to finally be able to move around and feel good again
June 24, 2013

Your girls look amazing! I love the roundness, that's what I have stressed to my doctor. I have cone shaped breasts and I want round bigger ones. Lol. You are looking great! Hope to see more pics soon, and an update!
June 25, 2013
tell your doctor u want a round full look. i dont have cleavage before, thats why i wanna go for a round full look. i was advised to go silicone, since i have a very small breast tissue but i went for saline. i think its 360 cc on both. im loving it! the first thing i did when i woke up was to feel my cleavage LOL..
