Not Sure
Cost: $15,000
Wilmington, NC

Well I guess I will start out with that I am 30...

29 Oct 2013

Well I guess I will start out with that I am 30 years old and wanted breast implants since after I graduated high school. I was looking into silicone or that gummy bear implant but I am just waiting for the consultation to see what would be best. I'm a 36A/Small B maybe. I was hoping to fill a D cup. I am wanting to get liposuction and a tummy tuck if it is needed. I am not sure of the cost but I guess I will find out soon. I will update ya'll after December 10th.

Booked 2nd Consultation w/ a place in Raleigh

2 Nov 2013

I made my first consultation with a place in Wilmington and thought it would be a good idea to make another consultation with a different provider in Raleigh. I do want different views and ideas from the providers so yeah...so far 2 consultations with 2 different people. I've been having some tachycardia for a few months now and my cardiologist ordered a ECHO (which I had that earlier this week) and for me to wear a heart monitor for 21 days (18 more days left). My 1st consultation is in Raleigh on the 18th of November of this year. I get to take off my heart monitor stuff on the 20th so I guess I'll of course go in and get information but I'll have to wait for the results with the cardiologist and see if I can get the ok to go from there. This was just a spur of the moment update but I will of course keep it updated as I get more information.

Raleigh Consultation on the 18th. Coming up.

13 Nov 2013

Ok, so my consultation in Raleigh is on the 18th and that will be with a person that I don't know the title but does something to do with the consultation. Then my 2nd consultation would be with the doctor. I doubt it would be the same day but now I'm not sure. So I will bring the $100 with me just incase. I'm kinda wondering about financing and if the doctor's office even deals with financing with companies such as carecredit or who ever else has that sort of company. I hope so though. I was going to ask a friend to go with me but I think I'd feel more comfortable to go by myself. Just turn on my GPS and go lol! I feel a little bit of nervousness. Not from thinking of surgery itself but financing. I know I want to do this it's just nervousness of if I can get financed. Does that make any sense? I will of course update this after my consultation on the 18th of November which is Monday.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:    1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.     2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.  Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may also be very helpful during this communication process.     3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.    I hope this helps.
