Wow! Where do I begin. I am 35yrs old, 5’7, 140lbs, 34a, and have a wider set chest. I have been researching this breast augmentation for about 10 years now, and I have been researching my PS for about 5years. I’ve met previous patients and probably seen every before and after photos of every procedure he’s ever done that I could find. All these years and all the websites(reviews etc.) I’ve only seen two reviews that were not five stars and that wasn’t for anything he did but rather what He wouldn’t do I believe. His work speaks for itself! Aug 5th I had my consultation and it was exciting. First I wanna say how awesomely covid-cautious the office was. Upon walking in the building I was greeted in the entryway with a smile and a COVID-19 questionnaire to fill out before entering the main office area. My temperature was read and I was cleared to go and check in at front desk with Mary. All the staff are very polite, attentive and soft spoken. I was given routine paperwork to fill out which only took about 5min to complete. Within 15min I was called back by Kirstin and within five min of sitting in the very clean and cozy consulting room, Dr.Rosenberg was in to discuss my goals questions and concerns. I literally had a whole sheet of questions and concerns to which he answered all with complete candidness. I only showed him “wish-pics” of ladies He himself has treated with BA. I made sure that they were within my body’s measurements so I could expect and visualize something unrealistic. I absolutely feel as though I correctly conveyed my goals during our discussion. I explained that I love side boob and that I didn’t want them very high!(I know I’m picky). Dr. Rosenberg understood me and he definitely should as this surly wasn’t his first rodeo.lol
I was then given a little privacy along with a very pretty cozy cotton-fabric(not paper) robe so I could remove my tops for assessment of breast’s and measurements but still have the security of coverage for the in between moments. So right after measurements we started to try on different implants in the mirror. This is where I got really nervous for some reason. I’m grateful for his lovely assistant Kirstin as well as she is sweet. She helped me into a very comfortable soft garment sizer bra that along with the robe I get to keep for after surgery!(I love that!). We then began the fun part..the part I was prepared for right?!? You know, trying on the implants. I was gonna see myself as I always wanted. I had positions and poses I was planning on doing to see me in all angles and different clothing! Well all that went out the window.lol I was soooo nervous y’all and extremely embarrassed about my flat chest. So much that I was rushing through the whole process. I didn’t do anything I planned on. I would like put an implant in look in mirror for two seconds and go “sure”.lol! I had never seen breasts on me before so I was happy to see any enhancement at the moment! I felt like I was stuffing my bra in front of someone and I forgot to do any of the positions or movements I planned to do to see how I look during different situations ya know lol. I was too shy to do that in front of staff. So I stopped at 510cc, but I already know I want bigger. I have a very flat chest and wide-set cleavage area and I’m going under the muscle so I think I need a little more to achieve the look I want! Why did I get soo nervous guys? I’m not usually like that. I want to do the sizers again to be completely sure! I know cup size pretty much varies and is usually irrelevant in implants but if I were to say a size...I would say I want roughly a size DDD results!Besides my own rushing of sizers, I am very excited to go back, settle on a size with doctors approval and hopefully get surgery scheduled for next month! Best Wishes to us all! Oh yeah, aside from cc’s, PS said we’d be using;Mentor,Moderate-Plus,Silicone-Gel,Smooth-Round implant going Under the muscle with an inframammary incision. Has anyone else had this “sizer-anxiousness” where you didn’t go as high as you wanted? I’m paying good money for a great Plastic Surgeon and I just want to be happy with my size afterwards! One of my main fears aside from health risks is not going big enough! If anyone thinks I should change anything feel free to advise. Thank you -Katey

-Long-Post-
Wow. So this is exciting! I recently went to my consultation appointment at the Plastic Surgery Center Of Maryland, PA. Let me start by saying the scheduling process was a breeze. It wasn’t even 2weeks from initial call date. I noticed upon arrival that they were COVID-19 cautious, which is awesome! So before you can even walk into the main building they have a whole setup right inside their separate entryway. I was met by a pleasant face behind a desk equipped with a bottle of sanitizer, a COVID questionnaire and a forehead thermometer. After I filled out the COVID questionnaire and my temp was read, I was then able to go through the second door into the waiting area. I checked in with a lovely lady at front desk for my appointment. I then waited in a lovely waiting room approximately 15min at most before I was called back. All the ladies were very beautiful and soft spoken. She took me into consulting room and just as she said, Surgeon was in about 3min later. I had a whole sheet of questions and concerns, he answered them all. I explained to him what I would like to achieve and showed my “wish pics”. All were of breast augmentations performed by He himself. I made sure to only look at women with my statistics. After some discussion about the types,shape,feel,incision and muscle placement, etc. of different breast implants. He then left the room so I could remove bra and put a comfy quilted Cotten(not paper) robe for top half assessment. The Dr. returned with his assistant and he read my measurements off to her(wish I remembered them). I was so nervous for some reason, I believe it was excitement induced! I used to get like that for presentations and incidents as such. It eventually subsided and I remembered some of my extra questions about the possibility of nipple stretching and the pectoral-deformity-animation thingy that can happen with under the muscle implants. My Surgeon made me feel confident that I conveyed my goals to him thoroughly. I even told him how I, unlike other women LOVE a little sideboob! After the taking of the measurements, the assistant and myself were left to play “boobie-dress-up”:)! I loved it! Although, because I am so insecure about myself I didn’t fully explore all of my options and do think I want one more time with the sizers before surgery just to fully be sure! I wasn’t uncomfortable by them or anything..more like embarrassed kinda, I felt like I was stuffing my bra in front of someone lol. So I really was fast with it and then also from me being so flat-chested, any cup size looked great to me at the time. I’m gonna do my own rice bags (thanks to this site;) because I kinda wish I could literally “sleep on it” lol. I wanna walk around the house and look in the mirrors while I’m doing certain movements that whilst in the the docs office I was too shy to do in front of someone(hehe). So rice bags will hopefully give me a better idea of what’s too much or what’s not enough in different outfits and such. We currently have chosen a 510cc/moderate-plus/round/silicone-gel/crease-fold incision/under the muscle. However, I hope to go just a bit larger as going under the muscle will cover a portion of my upper pole and I don’t want high sitting breast that are same size on top pole as bottom pole. I want the bottom to buckle out more than the top like the teardrop shape, but not so much as flat at the slope like with the teardrops..(I know I’m picky lol). However, I am extremely excited either way and I will gladly be updating throughout my “midlife body journey”.
Since this is already a long post, I wanna just say lastly that I couldn’t have been more pleased with the structured environment and staff. The whole staff was so warming and welcoming, soft-spoken and attentive! Communication has NEVER been a problem with this office.
I am interested in a few procedures actually but first is my BA! I’ve been researching this procedure since I was 18 and have been researching my Dr.for past 5years. I’ve been to consultations before with other “billboard Doctors” and truly never felt comfortable enough afterwards to actually schedule the procedure.
I’m 35 now, 5,5/140lbs/34A. I have two children and done counting-[^~^]-
I am getting married in June 2021 and I am ready to have some “Tata’s”;). I knew I wanted to wait till I was done developing, done having children, done breastfeeding and in shape from baby weight. I wanted to ensure the most beautiful looking results possible for me are to come. I want to be happy with my results and not pick myself apart like I’ve been warned will happen if I have problem areas still after surgery. Also, I don’t wanna be regretful I didn’t go big enough! That’s truly one of my biggest fears. So I’m finally ready! I’m in the best shape of my life (in my eyes), I’m not getting any younger and I’ve literally lived half my life flat chested. Enough is enough already! I’m going to document my entire journey on here tho! Hopefully someone can use me as a reference if you are relatively same build and want to or don’t want to achieve my look! Either way I hope this helps. Best wishes to us all!

Hey friends
So I went and bought a bra just like the one my PS office gave me during my consult when trying on sizers. For some reason the one in office was more snug and felt secure. I’m pretty sure I got same size, but I wouldn’t bet on my memory with your money..lol!
So I took my nylon stocking, cut it.
I then measured out 535cc of rice and put I in the stocking, tie in knot and used the weight of a casserole dish(hehe) to flatten and widen them out. Finally placed sizers in my bra directly adjacent to the nipple like an implant normally would be. This is so much like the actual implant it’s wild. I had fun taking these photos! With that said.. I am very excited about my BA! I am also ecstatic I found this site!! I truly send out my best wishes & hopes for a speedy recovery and a positive result for us all!

All women with same angled rib cage, same stats roughly, and same desired result!!
Oh yeah..and by my PS!!
Hopefully we can get close to this! He has 33 years experience and is double-board certified. I feel as though his reconstruction skills will def pour into his cosmetic skills to fix me! I trust him!

Hi everyone,
So I originally had booked for September 10th, but my fiancé’s cancer surgery had gotten pushed back twice due to blood count complications. I def had/need to be able to take care of him a few days each time the tumors are removed. We just went through one surgery and have the last one scheduled for September 15th. To be on the safe side I booked for October 5th.
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! I actually told him we could wait longer but he said “absolutely not”.lol (I think he really wants me to get them too). Secretly tho, seven years and he’s never complained. But I have..I am turned way off by my own breasts, so intimately deprived we are. I know breasts aren’t supposed to change me, but I kinda hope in my case they do!! Annnnnnd I’m super indecisive and I keep thinking I’m gonna be too small. I don’t wanna play it safe and end up sorry. (I know that’s not the correct saying;) I love looking on the “boob-sites” we call them here at my house. Y’all are soo helpful, The Plastic Surgeons are promptly with responsive advice/opinions lol. I am grateful. Thank you! Can’t wait to graduate from the “Itty Bitty Titty Commity”!!

Hey Friends,
Found some checklists from a Plastic Surgeons website. It’s very informative and if there’s anything I need to know please tell me..I am getting extreme anxiety over not being fully prepared.
Updated on 7 Oct 2020:
Ok gals,
I’m excited, yet nervous, ready, yet not ready, eager, yet anxious. You get my drift :).
I’m all things combined at this point! Part of me is ready to postpone and the other part is hoping for a cancellation that would get me in sooner >^*+*^>!! I’m having a Bilateral SubPectoral Breast Augmentation silicone round. I’m 5’7 145lbs 34a pre-op hoping for DDD/E ;) xoxo
Updated on 30 Oct 2020:

Thank you ladies for giving me support throughout this whole process and I hope to continue to receive advice from my fellow boobbabes out there!!
Good Luck to us All.

From the moment you meet your staff to the moment they are rolling you out to your car after recovery, everything is so aesthetically rewarding! I was feeling ashamed for going there you know you feel worried you’ve spent this money you don’t know what’s gonna happen and I totally felt taking care of, I felt comfortable, I trusted my whole staff, I trusted my PS completely!! I trusted my anesthesiologist and everything went beautifully! I would totally do this again(hehe)
I never even expected to be this happy so soon?! I’m just thankful I did my research and chose quality over quantity! Not one regret!

Hello everyone! I recently started my body journey with a breast augmentation of 550cc Mentor Silicone Memory-Gel Mod+ Smooth-Round Implants.
At the moment they are still popping locking & dropping..hehe;()
We are eagerly awaiting the fluff tho! Xoxo
Updated on 19 Nov 2020:
So happy that I did this we all know the recovery has its ups and downs in both booby and pain aspects LOL!
However I am very glad I took this journey and I just cannot wait to get off at the last stop!
My right boob is hurting more and dropping less, so I’m starting massaging on that boob only. My other one is so nice and good tho..
