I always have small boobs but they
became smaller (as if that could even
happen!) when i had my 2 kids and breast fed them. My older is 16 years old now and I had thought about my boobs for the longest time.

I never felt quite comfortableb wearing certain clothes especially swimsuits because I am so flatchested. i am also very petite and skinny although i do have curves just not at the top. I finally went to my first consult yesterday and the doctor was very knowledgeable. i peppered him with questions that i had learned doing my research and he was able to answer me in a very friendly and honest way.

He spent time showing me the different sizes of the silicone and saline implant devices and explained his surgical procedures method. I went to consult him because he is recognized as one of the top plastic surgeons in the nation and reviewsnhave all been excellent. He recommended 250 cc silicone but let me try the 200 cc, 275 cc and 300 cc as well just to let me see the differences. i busted out laughing when i tried on the 300 cc cuz i am only 4 ft 11 in tall and weigh 85 pounds. that thing was huge on me and i had a feeling the doctor wanted me to conclude that myself.


Because I am skinny, he said silicone would work better since it will not ripple and displace like saline would. He then proceeded to explain that silicone product has much improved over the years and told me that the MRI recommendation that we read about could be done with sonogram to look forleaks. i left the office feeling a lot more confident that I made the right choice to get my boobs done. i have another consult with another doctor on Monday that my friend recommended. I will let you all know if she is better or the one I saw yesterday was better. But my plan is to schedule something in !march once i decide who to go with.

I have never posted anything but while researching and coming to a decision to have my boobs done" I found this site to be extremely helpful, funny and encouraging. So, I am hoping that by writing myself, someone else could be informed and go along with me on this "booby" journey, LOL!

I went for my second consult with another ps. Both seemed equally competent but the one I met on Friday appeared to utilize newer surgical method. I felt comfortable with both which I think is a very important consideration. However, this ps suggested that I can go between 275 cc to 300 cc so I am a little torn now as to which would be the best fit for me. Price wise is about a thousand more for the ps today. Will talk to the one I saw on Friday to find out what he thinks about the size tomorrow and will then make up my mind to choose the ps for my BA. I hope to schedule as soon as possible once I decide whom to go with.

ok folks. I picked the PS who was the one I met last week and called his office to schedule for the surgery. BA will be on March 7 and pre-op is two weeks prior. i had to call for a medical clearance appointment with my internist and her scheduler asked what surgery I was going to go for. I was kind of embarrased to let her know that i was going for a BA. But when I told her , she said she wanted one too and lots of her friends had undergone the same procedure! she even told me that my internist handles a lot of such medical clearances. The lady was talking to me like old friend and was so helpful in getting me an appointment. So I guess the initial embarrassment kind of paid off when she found an opening for me to see my doctor. Anyway, I will be having the surgery on Thursday and will take a few daysnoff for post-op recovery. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I picked the PS that is best for me. I am going with silicone but still not sure about size. Lots of things to get ready before the big day when I too will go over to boobyville!
