How to go about getting a breast augmentation before college?

F
freyjabjorkNov 10, 2016

I am 18, have been researching the procedure for years, and know that it will boost my self esteem massively. I am not planning to get enormous, fake breasts; I am simply looking to even out my proportions and gain confidence in my figure. I am now able to afford the procedure. Would it be a possibility to find a surgeon, undergo the procedure, and recover within the summer before college? If I started the consultation process now (while still a hs student), will I be taken seriously?

Wearing a bra after surgery is a matter of preference and experience on the part of the surgeon.  I don't think there is one right answer and you can query your surgeon on why they do what they do. I have found that patients are more comfortable in a  bra after surgery and seem to prefer the a...

Your scars are settling normally as they should. They are also nicely placed in your infra mammary fold. They will continue to be pink for some time. As the scar matures, the pink colour will fade out of them and they will appear to be paler. It can take almost a year for the scars to fully...

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a...

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Placement of a moderate implant, part way under the muscle should minimize the look of separation and give you a proportionate result. You will always have a wider space between the nipples but cleavage can be kept soft and subtle looking. Talk to a...
