Pre op appt - 2 and a half weeks to go!

blondy286
I had my pre op appointment with my surgeon.
I tried the sizing bra on again with the 410cc (like the doctor suggested) and I felt a lot better about the size. I then showed him another photo which I had come across since my last appointment, and he said the implants in the picture were about 450cc high projection. I was first worried about the implants being too big, but now I'm wondering if they will be to small. As for my projection, i'm unsure if i should be sticking with moderate projection or maybe getting a bit higher?
Up until this last appointment I was quite nervous, however I am now extremely excited, just over 2 weeks to go!
I'm trying to think of everything I need to organise, but at this stage i can't do much as yet. I have a lot of pillows on my bed, I get given the scripts the morning of the operation, I will have my mum with me so she will be able to help me get around, and make sure I have my pain killers on time etc.
Im going to book in for a remedial massage the week before, just so 1. I can enjoy a massage as I won't be able to have one for a while after, and 2. so I can get any last knots out my muscles. Have also made a nail appointment for next week so my nails are re-filled and looking nice, and I've also booked a hair appt for the week after my op, so I can at least feel a bit better. Is there anything else I need to organise? I'm extremely fortunate that my mum has been given holidays so she can look after me.

Consult #2 second opinion with different surgeon

blondy286
So today I had my consult with a different surgeon for a second opinion and to put my mind at ease, mainly about the placement of the implants.
I walked into the surgeons office and instantly I felt good about being there. He looked at my chest and asked a few questions and explained a bit about the implants which he likes to use.
He then went on to say that he would place the implants UNDER (submuscular) the muscle, using a 415cc round implant, moderate projection. I instantly felt happy (as prior to my initial consult with the other surgeon I had my mind set on submuscular and its what i wanted), but i also instantly felt confused as the last surgeon said to go over (subglandular). He said he wanted to go under the muscle as i dont have enough coverage for the implants to be placed on top and to have a natural finish.
I then went with the nurse and she took some images of me, which was then sent back to the surgeons computer, where he digitally could show me what my body would look like with the implants.. this was so cool, but scary as i looked so weird with big boobs lol
From here I tried on some bras with different sized implants so i could get a rough view of how I will look. The 415cc looked huge, and this worried me, but like he said, being under the muscle hides them more, and 9 out of 10 patients who decided to go smaller than he suggested have said they wish they went larger.

I know have a big decision to make as to who to go with. I think im leaning towards the surgeon I saw today as I booked the second consult as I was unsure of the placement Dr Higgs suggested, and if subglandular didnt bother me then I wouldnt have gone there today.
The only down fall is that im looking at an extra $4,000 as Dr Higgs is a cosmetic surgeon, and the one today is a plastic surgeon.
Time to re-budget!!
