37 Yrs Old, 2 Kids, 135lbs, 400cc HP, Textured, Round, Using Dual Plane Technique. - Amarillo, Texas

I've always been curious about getting breast implants. In my late 20's after my first child I researched it a bit and decided that since I wasn't done having babies that I should wait. Then my second baby came, and she's now 5. I have always been very, very athletic, 3 sport athlete in high school, 2 sport athlete in college, did half marathons, lifted weights, you name it, if it's a sport and active I did it. So I have always been in shape and it's been a big part of my life. What I've learned over the years is the one thing I can't fix at the gym is my boobs! There's no weights or workout plan that can give you back the breasts you had before nursing 2 babies. I've never wanted "big" breasts per se, but "bigger and fuller". Anything would be better than the deflated chest I was left with.
So after going over things with my husband we decided it was time, and we were able to fund it at this time. So my research began again. I live in a smaller town in Texas, so finding a surgeon through word of mouth and referral was very easy. I scheduled a consultation and started the ball rolling.

My first meeting with Dr. Proffer, he actually goes by Dr. Patrick because his practice is along side of his brother and sister in law, so they're all Dr. Proffer! Lol! He's very nice and professional. I got a TON of information. We went over my activity level and whether or not I might need a lift. I had gone to a consultation years ago and the PS had said I would need a lift along with implants and it would cost well over $10,000!!! Dr. Patrick said that we could skip the lift, since I was borderline, and he would use a dual plane technique that would give me the lift that I needed along with hiding the top of the implant under my chest muscle which would give me a more natural result. This would cut down on the animation deformity when I worked out and give me that slope that we all look for. He also said that he would like to use textured implants to assure that with my activity level the implants would not rotate or flip too much. He took his measurements and determined with a BWD of 12.4 that I could go anywhere from 300-400cc. He said because my chest was narrow that he would like to also go with HP implants. I got to try on sizers and take pictures and left very well informed, but with information overload!! I highly suggest to bring a spouse, friend, anyone with you to your consultation so you have an extra set of ears!!
Over the next couple days I went over everything that we talked about and was OBSESSED with this website and the internet. I googled EVERYTHING!!! Before and afters of 400cc HP implants, dual plane, implants on athletic frames, can you work out after implants... You name it, I googled it. Honestly the "High Profile" scared me more than anything! All I pictured were big, perfectly round, "[RS bleep] boobs" lol!! Which was the exact opposite of what I was looking for.

I ended up calling and making another appointment to go over things in a little more detail. This time I met with Dr. Patricks assistant Karen. She is very nice and sat down with me and answered every question that I had. Looked at all my pictures of examples that I wanted and what I didn't want. She was completely understanding and didn't seem annoyed or put out that she was answering my questions. My main thing was that I did not want the round, bolt on look. I wanted natural looking. I think my comment was that come swimsuit season I wanted people that didn't know me to wonder whether my breasts were real or not. Or that something was different but they couldn't pin point what. So something modest. But I think that's a fine line. I didn't want to go too big so that it would hinder any of my athletic activities, but I also wanted it to be worth my while since I was spending the money and doing the surgery! I honestly don't think that I am one that would get boob greed. When thinking if I'd be more upset if I was too big of too small I think it would be if I was too big. Karen and I went over sizes again and I was torn between 375cc and 400cc which technically there is very minimal difference. However, they stack the sizers that they use in their office...so the 400cc looked freakishly big on me. So I had my head telling me that realistically if I liked the 375cc that going 400cc would be ok because it's such a small step. However I knew that the 400cc sizers looked CRAZY!! I left there still up in the air, but leaning more towards the 400cc.
