Hey everyone! I'm currently obsessed with boobs....

Hey everyone!
I'm currently obsessed with boobs. My partner said recently I've spent more time looking at breasts than a teenage boy. He is correct :-)
I've wanted implants since as long as I can remember and I can't wait till I can fill out a bra, let alone a t-shirt.
My current stats =
33 yo
163 cm
55 kg
21% BF
unfilled B cup (shape doesn't fit an A cup, but too small to fill a B cup- fun times)
Symmetrical breast measurements (according to a PS)
Healthy and 'relatively' fit- I enjoy fitness activities, but I'm not a junky.
My Wishlist =
My current shape, just BIGGER
Sexy side and under boob look
D cup
Remain symmetrical
Natural shape/ appearance
Not that 'bolted on' look
And of course... complication free :-)
This is my journey... I'm looking forward to everyone's comments, suggestions, tips and love. I've found Real Self so helpful and compassionate, so I hope my story helps as much as others had helped me so far! Xx

The great surgeon hunt.
Trying to find and pick a surgeon feels like trying to decipher a code to a complicated science equation, where you know the answer you want, you just don't know which is the right way of getting to it.
So far I've met with 2 PS and a PS nurse in Adelaide.
Dr Julie Lawrence at Brighton Day Surgery =
First impression was that Julie was impersonal, brief with information, and disinterested. Consult was $168 with Medicare refund if GP referred. There was no talk of post care and mentioned first check up at day 10? Retiring at end of 2016- so what about complications etc? But she was keen to book the surgery- I didn't feel comfortable with the service.
Surgery = $12700
Dr Richard Hamilton at Hamilton House =
I met with the nurse for a free consultation. She was lovely- very personal, extremely thorough, and helpful. She took health history and asked questions of my wishes. We did measurements and a 3D scan. Although, the nurse would only show me up to 290cc in the digital images (I don't have a copy), more size options and trying on is done with the surgeon. To see the surgeon it's $154. I've booked an appointment.
Surgery = approx $11k - $12k
Dr Michael Higgs at Parkside =
I was very impressed with Dr Higgs free consultation. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and followed a structure which I liked as I felt I got all the information. We did measurements, pictures and a breast cancer examination (all in the presence of a female nurse). I was walked through procedure in detail. Questions about my wishes and lots of pictures shown for comparison to my actual breast shape. I was given 3D images for 335cc. Sizing choice is made in free pre-op appointment. I've made an appointment. Then if surgery is booked, it's a $700 nonreturnable deposit.
Surgery =$9915
At this stage I'm leaning towards Dr Higgs. My only concern is that he is a 'cosmetic' surgeon and not a 'plastic' (FRACS) surgeon. Dr Higgs explained his qualifications and experience to me in detail, which seemed reassuring. It's just I've always been told it needs to be a plastic surgeon to be qualified.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this???
Also, has anybody got any feedback on these surgeons? Or recommendations for any other Adelaide surgeons to consider?
It's so hard to know what and who is right!
Thanks heaps x

Size does matter!
There are SO many choices! I'm feeling a bit confused about sizing decisions as I have read a lot about boob envy and disappointment once swelling goes down. Although, I want to balance size with the overall look to be 'natural'. Understanding 'natural' is subjective!
Also, I find that looking at pictures has helped, but also hindered as I think one looks bigger than another, although, they're a smaller CC etc.
Does anyone have any feedback on this? How did you make your final decision? Where you happy?
My sizing status =
I've been told 375cc is the max I can fit by one PS.
I've tried 375cc, 345cc and 310cc with one PS. 375cc and 345cc felt too big.
310cc felt good and PS said it looked natural, but then I'm worried I'd think it's too small post.
(All round)
I've seen 290cc in 3D. I felt it was way too small.
(Round)
I've seen 335cc in 3D. I felt this was a better fit.
(Round)
*** see the digital images
So far I'm thinking along the lines of round, under the muscle, 335cc.
Although, I'm curious if I should go up?!
