I've recently had a consultation with Dr. Jugenburg about the possibility of having implants and perhaps fat grafting. I am currently around a small 36-38B (Maybe even an A) however I wear a double pushup bra as I feel very flat chested with a "normal" underwire bra on and all girls can relate to that uncomfortable feeling (ZERO cleavage even with a double push up). Going in I was very open minded about what he would be suggesting and I was willing to do what ever is necessary to get the best possible result. Dr.Jugenburg asked how I felt/ if I've though about getting a breast lift - I was very open and after I learned his explation and seen pictures of previous patients with and without a breast lift I was quick to decide that I will be needing one. I am hoping to be around a DD as I have a wide frame and feel I can carry this off. The cost was a lot more than I was expecting however after his reasoning and some reading online - the fact I will be getting a lift, breast reconstruction and implants I feel this is a fare price. He is known to be one of the best doctors in Canada in this industry so no doubt in my mind I will be over the moon with my results. Durning my first consultation I decided on the 485CC Silicon High profile (I did not want saline as I have read and see a lot of pictures online taking about the "ripple"). Last week I had a final fitting (I do not live anywhere near Toronto so since I was there for something else I decided I had to make up my mind at that time on my final implant size) This time I brought my mother so I was able to have a second opinion. At the first appointment I didn't take any pictures with the sizers and I forgot to try on a shirt, after trying on the 485CC once again this time with a shirt I decided that these were two small. I've read a lot on here about boob greed so I decided to go bigger - This time choosing 565 CC High profile I will attach a picture below to hear your feedback. I believe I will be ending up a DDD after surgery if not bigger. Thoughts? I am so excited about this whole process - been dreaming of having "boobs" since I was little and always felt like I would have to get implants. Updated on 14 Oct 2016: Not sure why the price isn't showing up correct it's suppose to be $17,315! Updated on 12 Nov 2016: Ended up getting my surgery on November 10th at 10:00 AM it was originally planned for lift and reconstruction along with the placement of 560 CC high profile. When I arrived and the doctor began to mark the placements I mentioned cleavage and how I would love to have cleavage - because my breasts were originally so wide apart he asked if I would be ok going above the muscle and explained the difference it would be ... Of course He wouldn't know if it was going to be under or over the muscle until he opened everything up when I woke up I learned the implants were placed above the muscle - this also means easier healing - I'm currently 36 hours post op. The first evening after surgery I was feeling extremely well and ended up going for an easy 4km slow walk to the mall in search of food - a bit stiff but felt great to get the blood flowing. Had an extremely hard time sleeping and ended up being awake all night. The following day Kim came by to have a look and explain everything again as I'm an out of town patient returning home within a few days. She said everything looks great and I'm doing fabulous. Ended up going back to the mall to clue up some shopping - I decided to go to Victoria's Secret as we have no bra stores in my community and I will need a soft lounge bra once this surgical bra can come Off. I ended up buying a 38 DD lounging bra - I know I won't be able to be properly measured for a few months but I wanted to make sure I had something comfy to wear as there's no options at home. I was extremely stiff hard time walking as I looked like I had been squat down and had a very big arch in my back while walking. I ended up relaxing at the spa with some new nails and then headed back to the hotel for a early night rest. Can't wait to see the girls once this bra comes off in a week. I can remove the blue boob separator once I become flat on that wall generally 48-72 hours after surgery!
I would start with Invisalign as long as the teeth are health. It may be necessary to remove a lower incisor (front tooth). It may also be necessary to do crowns/veneers after the Invisalign to optimize the smile and bite. Those are some options to avoid jaw surgery and years of wire braces.
I would recommend asking local friends or family for a recommendation as well as searching the internet for a great cosmetic dentist or best dentist. Google, Yelp and Angie's List are good review sources for the most part. I would not try to fix this yourself. If it's not attached properly, it could come loose and potentially get inhaled which is very dangerous. A dentist can re-bond the fractured veneer temporarily, but it will most likely need to be replaced. Keep in mind, the shade match can sometimes be an issue... this is why you want to choose an excellent cosmetic dentist.Hank D. Michael, DMD, General, Cosmetic, and Implant Dentistry
This is a very common question. Bonding the black triangles is very difficult and the results may not be as good as either you or the dentist want them to be. There is just not enough space to work with bonding in most cases. If it's a large triangle it may be able to be done but still the final results will probably be less than perfect. I know you've stated that your teeth are healthy so dental veneers may be the right solution for you depending on how badly the black triangles bother you... you don't have to do anything. As I'm sure you have already been told, you can not grow the gum back into the black triangle at this time. Best of luck!Hank D.

Dental implants are usually preferred over dental bridges for a number of reasons: they last longer, they are easier to clean, and they do not damage existing teeth. However, there are cases where a dental bridge is a fine restoration: when there is not enough bone for an implant, when there are financial concerns, when a better cosmetic result is anticipated, and possibly elderly or sick individuals not requiring a long-term solution. Dental implants do usually cost more money for the initial treatment, but a younger person can anticipate they will spend more later replacing bridges, doing root canals, extracting more teeth - possibly ending up with implants anyway later in life. It's important to understand everything and be educated about your decision so that later on you can say "I know".Hank D. Michael | General, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
It's worth a try to do external bleaching, however, internal bleaching is probably going to be your best bet. Maybe you could use Carecredit to make payments. Or just wait until you can afford it. You may end up needing a crown on the tooth in the future and having it whitened prior to crown may be needed anyway. Some porcelain crowns struggle to hide a discolored tooth - depending on how dark the core of the tooth is.Hank D. Michael, DMD | General, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
