Breast Augmentation leaves me with STITCHES in my stomach - Toronto, ON

I have been wanting a breast augmentation for a while now, and have been researching a lot for the past 5 or so months. I have been following other people's reviews on here. Although I haven't had any consultations yet, based on reviews and pictures from Dr. Jugenburg, I would really like to look into getting this done by him. I applied for Medicard and got approved for $5,000 and could pay the difference in cash. The only problem I have is...I haven't told my parents yet. I know they won't agree with it and I am so scared to say anything but would really like to get this done sometime in the new year. I think maybe I should book a consultation with Dr. Jugenburg and then tell my parents after I have gone to it. I really need a push to make the next step and book the consultation.
Oh and by the way...I am 23 years old, about 5'7.5 and weigh 150. I have a muscular build and spend a lot of time at the gym. I feel like my confidence is very low because of my chest, and I always feel embarrassed. I am at the time in my life that I feel like I would like to go ahead and do this...

I hope you are going to at least tell your bf beforehand. It's a big life event, and it's not like he's not going to notice bigger boobies, pain, healing incisions, scars, numbness, etc....

Aw. Ya it's hard...but it's something I would like to do. Are you going to get it done then tell them right after?

Girl, at 23 you shouldn't have to worry about what your parents think anymore. You should be a grown, independent woman! You can choose to tell them before, after, or never. If you have your own income and own identity, then it's optional to include them. Now, if you are still living under their roof, you can't really hide recovering from surgery from them. But if you are still like king under their roof, perhaps putting off surgery until you are financially stable enough to be able to do so is a good idea. There are follow-up visits, scar treatments, mammograms, MRIs, etc. in your future that you would have to pay for for life as well....

*living, not like king. Stupid autocorrect!

I know you are right. I hate feeling like I always have to please them and get their approval. I know they won't agree with everything I do in life. I do live under their roof, but I pay for everything myself, including paying them to stay there. Ughhh I just need to build up the courage to tell them. I think I will ask my older sister to help me tell them.

I will tell my bf after, my parents will find out on their own

If my bf didn't tell me before having surgery, and I had to find out after, I would be hurt and astounded that he couldn't trust me enough to tell me beforehand. Just a thought....

I'm not telling my Mum until after, I love her very much but I don't want to be made to feel like I shouldn't be doing this. Tell whoever you want, whenever you want! This is for you so it should be how you want! Don't worry about anyone else, just do it for yourself! :)

Wow you are so right. I can't live someone else's life. I think I would feel way too bad if I didn't tell them after...God forbid something bad happened. But I could just tell them and even if they don't agree just do it and at least I can say I told them first!

I wore double cup increase bras for 4 years and finally decided to do it. I haven't told anyone but my kids and a very close friend. I don't plan to tell y parents but mid next week is the moment of truth -- I'm meeting them for a family dinner out. I feel I did this for me and I don't "have" to tell anyone.

That's great that you went ahead and did it for you. Unfortunately I live with my parents so it would be too hard not for them to notice. :( Hopefully everything goes well when you tell them. :)

Trying to book consultation

JB22December 23, 2013
Well, I emailed them last Wednesday and haven't gotten a response. Now I am calling the office and it goes to voicemail. I don't want to leave a message and have them call me because I don't want them calling my parents' house. Feeling annoyed...

1st consultation booked

JB22December 26, 2013
Well, I have booked a consultation for January 13! I was unaware that the clinic was closed all week, but someone (couldn't catch the name in the message she left) called me from home and fit me in. I am very impressed with this! :)
Now to try to tell my mom...ugh

No I still haven't yet. Planning to before the consultation unless I chicken out... I called the office from my house phone and left a message but left my cell phone number. I was really worried they would call my house but luckily she called my cell

How did it go? What did you decide to do?

Hey! Ya sorry haven't updated this in so long. I'm getting the surgery March 5!! I'm getting saline high profile. I was going to get the armpit incision but changed to crease. Right now it's written down as 400cc implants filled to 450cc. I'm scared that 450 will be too big. I tried on 435cc sizes and they said when you get them put in, it takes off about 15cc so that's what they would look like. Right now I'm barely an A but I have a muscular build. Hmm I don't know what to do!

That is exactly what I went with but mod profile and I tried on the same sizer. I was a small A before now I am a d/dd. I did armpit though. Dr J is amazing. All the staff is incredible, Kim is my favourite. Check out my review maybe it will help?

Yeah I've been following your story and read it all :) they look amazing. Yours are 400 though aren't they? He wants to over fill mine to 450. Yours are a good size
