I had my first consultation finally! I have also scheduled another one for November 15, which is about a month away from my actual surgery. I decided to go with Dr. Ratliff. Another one of my friends recently had an augmentation done by him & hers look WONDERFUL. At my first consultation the doctor suggested that I get a size 360 implant filled to 400. Dr. Ratliff also suggested a 400cc fill, which reassures me that the CCs are accurate to what I want since both doctors suggested numbers pretty close to each other. However, Ratliff suggested a size 400 implant filled to the minimum of 400CCS, and since I am getting saline implants I am worried that there will be visible wrinkling since I have heard that you are supposed to fill the implant to the maximum. I'm a little confused on the measurements I was given because I wasn't told what exactly that measurement was for,but the number I was given was 12.5? Also, the doctor decided on moderate plus, and I'm worried that MP will make my implants stick out too far, which I don't want!!

I'll update more closer to time & after the surgery :)

Hey guys! I've been reading RealSelf for a while...

Hey guys! I've been reading RealSelf for a while now and I'm addicted to it! It's nice to read reviews and experiences from other women considering the same process. I'm 21, 5'7" and 125 pounds. I have a very athletic body and I've always been insecure because my chest is so small. I have very broad shoulders & I don't feel like my chest matches the rest of me! I have my free consultation in two days on August 1! I am going to two consultations at two different doctors! I wanted to try out a few doctors before making a decision about where to go. I have a consultation at Dr. Cuzalina & Dr. Ratliff. Dr. Ratliff has performed a BA on at least 7 of my friends and they look really good. I have also heard bad stories but I feel like that's the way it is with every doctor. There is always someone who doesnt like their outcome! I've heard great things about both so we will see which I decide to go with!

I was interning at an accounting firm all this summer so there wasn't a good time to set up a consultation. I though about getting my BA this summer but I didn't want to show up to work one day with huge boobs! I didn't want to seem like a [RS bleep] :) I begin school in August to finish my accounting degree. I go to school full time and work two jobs so I think I will have to wait and push my actual appointment until sometime in December when I am on Christmas break. The waiting will suck but I feel like that will be the smartest decision in the long run because I won't have to take off work and I will have plentyof recovery time! I am wanting to go with saline, under the muscle. I think I wouldlike to be no bigger than a C.....but who knows! Any advice helps! OR if anyone has been to these two doctors please feel free to give e reviews!! I know it seems a little early to start a review but I really want to get as much advice as I can through this entire process....even if it will be a very long one!

It's not too early at all! We love hearing all about the decision making process, too. If you're athletic, probably a C is a good size. You're smart to do your research and think this through. Please keep us posted!
