Hi guys!
I'm writing on here because I want to share my experience about breast augmentation, in hope to help others that are going through what I did. And are thinking about getting the procedure done. I am a young mom, Im 20 yrs old. Soon to be 21. Ive wanted breast implants for as long as I remember. But the thought of getting them never really crossed my mind until after I had my little girl. I did breast feed so my boobs got pretty big. I went from a small Acup to a full C. After i stopped breast feeding, my boobs began to lose their volume and perkiness. My daughter is now a year old and my boobs are back to an Acup. But a droopy Acup. I dont want to say sag. Because I dont consider them "saggy" but droopy. I dont know. Lol. Anyways, they have access skin that didnt tighten up after i stopped BF. I have done research, A LOT of research. A few years worth. I became a bit obsessive about it. Lol. I wanted to know absolutely everything there was to know. Ive watched so many youtube videos on the surgery, that i could probably do it myself! Haha.
I have already had a consultation. The doctor I am going with is Dr. James E Vogel. He is in Baltimore, MD. Which is where im currently living. I went in for my consult about a week ago, I would say. Danielle, the patient coordinator has been awesome so far. Answering any questions I've had, every concern. Everything. Anyways, she took me back to my room, introduced herself and told me the doctor would be back soon to see me. Even offered me water to drink whike I waited. The nurse came in, introduced herself, asked me to take everything from the waist up, off and to put the robe thing on. So i did. The doctor came in, introduced himself. He was so kind and caring. Made me feel special and very comfortable with him. Which I liked! He did some measuring on me, asked me a few questions, and took some pictures. After that, the nurse gave me a bra to put on and a few implants to try. I can not remember the first implant size, but the second one was 475cc's and the third was 500cc's. I really liked the look of the 500cc. The 475cc was good, but liked the 500cc best. (Im shooting for a full D). We then went into another room where they pulled my pictures up and showed me what i would look like with implants. Which I loved of course! Looked at some before and after photos of previous patients. Looked great. I have decided im going with silicone jell implants, sub muscular, and imfamammary incision. I dont know the size yet. But I do go in for sizing Wednesday, the 26th! And my surgery date is March 10th. Im so excited yet so nervous! Lol. But, Thats pretty much it, I do believe. If you have any questions about anything, dont hesitate to comment or message me. I will be updating this when I come back from sizing, and let you all know on what size im going with and what not!
Have a great week!
Oh! And Im not posting pictures just yet, but I will be sometime in the near future, so be patient!

Sizing today!! Maybe...
Yay! Today is here! Today I go in for my sizing! Oh my goodness, I can't wait, it seems like I've waited forever just for this day to get here! Lol. But, on the other hand, I may not go. :( This snow is ridiculous!! And of course it would snow hard for the day of my sizing. My appointment is at 3:30 today, so Im hoping it stops or at least lightens up by the time I have to leave!

Your going to love them! Do you have help with the baby? I'm 5 days post and I definitely believe my mother is a life saver because I can't do much of anything for the kids. Good luck! It's almost time!

February 27, 2014
I hope so! I cant not wait!! Yes, my mother will be helping me with my little girl as well. Mothers are amazing right?! And thank u!! ((:

Our stats are pretty similar with height and weight. And I went with 450 left, 500 right (I have a 50cc difference) my doc would only let me go a max of 500... had he let me go bigger it would have been 500/550. I think for your frame 550 would look great unless you want to go larger and do the 600. I didn't want to go too big and look like Pamela Anderson lol but I knew for a fact I didn't want anything under 400. In the end the biggest regret is not going big enough g with that being said maybe comp it and add 25cc. That will give you 575/600-since you have to add the 25cc to make up the size diff) then you'll be in between your goal lol
February 26, 2014
Looking forward to hearing what cc size you choose.

February 27, 2014
I chose 550cc silicone jell implants.. thinking about maybe 600cc tho. I want to make sure im the size i wanna be u know.. i lived the 550cc but now having second thoughts!

February 27, 2014
Ok. Well I was a 32 small A and I'm now a 32DD. I went with 500cc HP Silicone under the muscle. I recommend going with what you feel is best for you and try not worrying about if you're going too big. If you trust your doctor and he knows exactly what you want that will not happen. I don't think I could have gone much larger if I wanted to. I had little to no tissue left but I also wanted to be in the full D range. I trusted my doctor and felt that he understood me and recommend 500cc and that's what we agreed on. Looking back I do not regret any decision I have made. I love them and they're only 8 weeks old today. So whatever you decide just know it's going to be a whole lot better then what you got now lol. Best of luck on your decision and I can't wait to see your results. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

February 27, 2014
Awesome (: thank you for that! Yeah, i keep thinkinh about it.and one minute im all, yay! I love the decision ive made and other times im all like, man, should i have gone bigger? Lol. But its okay. I have 11 days to decide! Im so excited. Thank you again, and if i do, i will definitely ask (:

It's so interesting, I chose a 325cc and I measured a 32DD at my bra fitting on Wednesday. Like you, I had very little breast tissue too but went over the muscle instead of under. Does that make a difference in size?
March 7, 2014
Yes, the amount of tissue and the placement of the implants makes a huge difference. I'm sure there are other things to it as well. But it always amazes me how every implant size is so different on each woman. It's crazy! Are you happy with your size?
