I have been small chested my whole life. I am a 34A and have thought about going bigger since I was a teenager. I'm 35 years old now and think I'm ready for this!!!

I've seen one plastic surgeon already but didn't feel he was a good fit for me. I found him due to me seeing a girl at work with nice boobs and I asked her where she got them done. When I met with him, he answered all my questions but something just didn't feel right. He didn't have sizers for me to try on and didn't have any photos to show me of before and after. I definately want to see photos!!! I showed him my wish boobs and he said he can accomplish that but I just didn't feel right going through with it with him. This was last year.

I have been doing a lot of research on here and other sites looking for the right PS for me in Baton Rouge. The above dr. was in Lafayette which is a little far from me so I want to stay closer to home. I have found three doctors but can't find too many reviews. The most maybe someone had was 6 or 9 reviews. I want to maybe go to two more consulations to be able to compare.

The first doctor I'm considering is Dr. Gruenwald. You can check him out on his website: http://www.drgruenwald.com/. I contacted a girl on realself who had a tummy tuck procedure done by him and she said she loved him and that her sister had her breast done by him. I'm waiting for a reply from them to discuss this doctor in more detail. He's in Baton Rouge. He's board certified. He has many years of experience. His consultation fee is only $80. The quote for gel implants for him is $5,600.

The next doctor I'm considering is Dr. Weiler at Williamson Cosmetic Center. I found him by Googling PS in BR and also found him on realself. He has about 6 good reviews on here. I've tried contacting patients on here that went to him but haven't gotten any replies yet. My supervisor said her friend got her boobs done by him. Dr. Weiler is board certified. I don't think he's been doing this as long as the doctor above but I think he has about 6-7 years of experience. His consultations are on Tuesdays only and are $75.

The third doctor I'm considering is Dr. Stephens. He is board certified and has been doing this for over 10 years. He is local in BR. I found out about him from my boyfriend's friend who got her boobs done by him. They look great. I didn't like the secretary's short emails with me but other than that I don't have any complaints yet. The consultation for him is $100. It used to be $75 but it went up recently. This doctor does not show before and afters on his website so I hope he has some in person.

I've been seeing some great results recently of girls on here who have gotten them done. Most don't complain of pain but pressure. I'm mainly concerned with a few things and maybe you can help me with these questions.

1. What do you think is better - totally under the muscle or sub-muscular or partially? I do not want rippling to show.
2. I'm pretty sure I want GEL implants not saline. Is there a different between Gummy Bear and regular silicone? Also, do you really have to go get an MRI often?
3. I am concerned at looking fat or top heavy so i don't want to go too big. I am 5'2" and 140 lbs. I want to look proportionate but not go too big. Maybe a C or small D.
4. I'm afraid my back is gonna hurt by getting bigger boobs.
5. Should I tell my job I'm getting this done before I get it done? I don't have to ask for days off as I'm thinking of doing it near Christmas when we have 9 days off. I kinda ran it by my supervisor but didn't tell anyone else.
6. I'm considering the incision to be either on the nipple or in the crease/fold. With Gel implants are either okay and which is better?

I'm sure there are other questions I have but can't think of right now. I'm going to post some wish boob photos shortly.

Consultations Booked For This Tuesday

User Avatar

I booked two consultations today for this coming Tuesday, 10/22. The first consult is with Dr. Gruenweld at 3:30 p.m. I loved speaking with his staff. The coordinator was very friendly, helpful and informative. She had a great personality and answered many concerns or questions I had. I'm excited to meet with her and the rest of the staff. The second consult is with Dr. Weiler at Williamson Cosmetic at 5 p.m. that same day. If I didn't book those consults for that day, I'd have to wait until November to see them and I didn't want to wait that long since I'm thinking of getting this done in December.

Dr. Gruendwald is booked pretty solid but has some availability on 12/18. I'd have 11 days to recover if I do it this day. I wanted to do somewhere in between the 20th and 29th since I have off from work then but he is not available. I'd have to take three unpaid days off in order to get this done by him but that would be worth it to get it done by the right surgeon. He does not require a deposit when you book your date and requires 100% to be paid three weeks before the surgery.

Dr. Weiler is able to do the surgery on Monday, 12/23. That is more ideal as I won't have to take more time off from work and I'll have 7 days to recover. He does require a deposit of 10% and this is non-refundable. You also have to pay the balance in full 14 days in advance. The average price for gel implants with him is around $5,700 so only $100 more than Dr. Gruenwald. However, they said that might go down by $800 soon but they are not sure when. That would be awesome! Again though, I'd have to make sure he's the right surgeon for me. It's not just about the money. I want to feel comfortable.

I already spoke to my supervisor and she said I should do it. I also mentioned the surgery to two close co-workers but I haven't told anyone else there yet. I wanted to wait until I booked my surgery date or not tell them at all. I'm getting really excited as this seems to be becoming a reality instead of a dream. I've been thinking about this for a long time and it might actually happen this year! Merry Christmas to myself. :)

I'll be posting some more photos shortly of wish boobs.
