WORTH IT$7,599
I'm 29 years old and currently a 32 A. I've been waiting for my boobs to come in for as long as I can remember and they're still not here. I was waiting until after I had kids to see if my boobs would develop afterwards, but from my research any growth would then deflate and sag after breastfeeding, not to mention the fact that I'm still probably at least 4-5 years out from having kids in the first place. I've finally decided WHAT AM I WAITING FOR??
So I finally have my first consultation this Thursday. I've become obsessed with looking at boobs and researching breast augmentations over the past couple weeks. I live near Beverly Hills and plan on having the surgery nearby. The last thing I want to do is sit in traffic for an hour after getting surgery and driving an hour for all the post-op appointments. The only problem with that is most of the doctors I'm interested in seem to be in the $8500-10,000 range. I'm already in debt from student loans (unfortunately have at least 5 years left to pay them off) and have about $7,000 in credit card debt, which I just transferred to a 0% interest card until 8/2016. I guess I'm struggling over whether I should try to get 0% financing through CareCredit to pay for my surgery, or wait to get it done until I've paid off my credit card (probably not until January or February 2016). I just feel like it's taken me 15 years to finally make the decision to get implants and I'm "running out of time" to really enjoy them before I get pregnant. I'm not yet married but living with my boyfriend and anticipate getting engaged by the end of the year. I would really like to have new boobies before my wedding, but I've also got a friend's wedding coming up in September and it'd be nice to have them by then too... Help!

I first scheduled implants when I turned 18. I decided to buy a car instead with money I had saved for the procedure. I am 30 now and two weeks post op from my procedure. I finally started looking into it again in 2012 when my second child was no longer breastfeeding. I had a different consultation in 2014, and finally another consultation this year with my current surgeon. It sounds like extreme procrastination but honestly, timing just never worked out. I too wanted them in my 20s so I could enjoy them, but life got busy and I had more important priorities. Financially, I prefer to not overextend my debt and payoff debts before obtaining new ones. The financial stress and burden is not worth it. You mentioned possible marriage/engagement.....take note of his financial resume he'll be bringing to the table. If you both have considerable debt, be aware of adding additional. Marriage is hard enough without extra money stresses that can be put on hold. I also agree with not rushing into anything for a specific one time event....I know you want to look and feel amazing for your friend's wedding, just remember, all eyes should be on the bride for her special day. That's my advice from my experience, and just that...from my perspective. Either way, and whenever you choose, you'll look gorgeous and love your new figure. Good luck.

I total hear you on all the debt!! I was and still am in the same boat. I financed mine through Care Credit and I love it. I am so happy I made the decision to just go for it!!! I just pay my minimum monthly payments and when I can, pay more each month. Money will always be stressful I feel...might as well have nice [RS bleep]! lmao

I agree with you! What the hell. Rather have some nice boobs for the next couple of years.

Question! How good was your credit?? I'm currently working to rebuild mine because I'm planning on financing thru care credit. :)

I am getting my BA next Friday with Dr. Eugene Kim in BH and the total is 6800.. Much more affordable than what you have seemed to find and he's AMAZING! I found him through Yelp (5 stars) and I agree with all the girls that have written reviews.. Great bedside manner, not pushy, honest, and easy going. The ladies in the front were very friendly as well. I didn't get that BH stuck up vibe.
As for the care credit, they don't offer the 0% financing at the office because I guess the costs are too high to the office. I opened up a credit card through BofA that has 0% APR for 13 months, so I just put my procedure on that and boom - problem solved :)
Check out Dr. Kim though! His consultations are free and I'm confident you'll feel the same as me after meeting him.

First Consultation - LOVED My doctor!
Had my first consultation today! The doctor was very kind and patient, happy to answer all of my questions, even my silly one about whether it will be harder for me to run with implants LOL. I'm really pleased with my visit today and can't think of any reason NOT to go ahead and go through with Dr. Layke, other than cost. I know a lot of girls on this site go to Dr. Kim and he's over $9,000. Drs. Layke & Danielpour are going to be about $7,600.
The good news is I was approved for a 21 month 0% interest credit card for a portion of the cost, so that will help spread it out to very manageable payments!
I'm thinking about putting a deposit down tomorrow and scheduling my surgery for 7/30!!

One more thing....on breastfeeding. I breastfed both my children. I was smaller than an a cup before, and yes, filled to a d and c cup while breastfeeding. Obviously, that's milk supply and quickly went away when they weaned. My experience was that I deflated to smaller than my prebaby breast size. I was lucky that my skin went back, no sagging but that's because not much strain was put on my breast. Had they been larger to start with, then filled with milk, the weight would have been much more and I would be looking into a lift like most of my friends now. For that reason, I am very content that I didn't have implants before children. I was able to get nice perky boobs just by getting implants. With gravity and age, they will eventually sag...that's life, but it's great to be 30, have full boobs, and not have to wear a bra to hold them up.
All that is to give you another perspective, a positive one, for waiting until after kids. You will enjoy them no matter when you get them, and look beautiful no matter when you get them. I would have enjoyed having them in my 20s while still dating and having fun, but I am certainly enjoying them now also with no regrets. Hope my post just let's you know that you shouldn't feel pressured by time. It will work out no matter what.

Thank you so much!! It really helps to hear someone else's real life experience and not something that is purely speculation or conjecture.

Oo that is so exciting! The running question is not silly at all, it's a very good one. The most important thing is to wear a very supportive, high-impact bra when working out and running. Hope it all works out for you.

Started telling some friends...
My boyfriend and I are going to Cabo San Lucas next weekend with another couple. We had dinner with them Friday night and they asked if we were coming to his birthday party on August 1... Well, that will be 2 days after my surgery. I wasn't really planning on saying anything but since I had just put my deposit down that morning, I was so excited and blurted it right out: "I don't think I'll be able to make it because I'm having surgery the Thursday before." "Oh my gosh, really? What's wrong?" "I'm getting a breast augmentation!!!"
I've told my closest friends and they've all been supportive except for one. Some people just don't understand and might never. My best friend of 14 years isn't very supportive. She's had a D cup or larger since we were 16. She will never know what it's like to barely have a chest at all, so it's easy for her to say "you're perfect they way you are" and "love your natural self." Well, I'm sick of persuading myself to love the body I was given when I can so easily change what I've been loathing for decades!

July 15, 2015
You're right-she will never know. And you will never know what it's like to be in her body. But soon you will know what it's like to have beautiful breasts and feel like a complete woman! I can tell you're going to look gorgeous already!

It made me sad to hear the best of your friends is unsupportive.
I have some (unsolicited, I know) advice.
Maybe invite her over for a glass of wine and bluntly just lay it out and tell her that you are excited and it would mean a lot to you to have her support and will seriously hum you out if you don't.. And then gently ask her if it is bothering HER for any reason. (Usually when you do make someone to communicate instead of not addressing it, things come out and at least there isn't festering going on behind the scenes. The bottom line is that, the way it stands..your friendship almost surely wil be compromised forever. If you at least bring it up, it stands a chance of repair ...so it can't be WORSE than saying nothing.
I have a geeling , knowing how women and telationships work..that she has always been the "one with the boobs..so that made her feel better about things she DIDN'T have that you DO. It's human nature..Judging by your pics..you have an incredible body. She may be jealous, quite simply, that you will "have everything". She is not a bad friend for these feelings. (I'd be willing to bet she is not even aware of where they are coming from. So dont imply that or she will be defensive.)
Rather, ask her why it bothers her and see what she comes up with...
and then remind her it can be a fun bonding experience.. She has always had boobs...so draw her into the experience by asking her to go bra shopping with you, etc.
I truly hope she snaps out of it..because a true friend supports you NO MATTER what..as long as you are a good friend to her..Nothing else should be fodder for judgement. To each his own. And it would be sad to lose a friendship that has been so long-standing.
Good luck hon!! I am very excited for you :-)

I definitely understand you! I can't wait to finally get boobs and be able to fill out a bra!
It kinds of sounds like you have made up your mind on the surgery and that no one could convince you to wait until your credit cards are paid off. ;) I know I'm kind of the same way! Here is an important list of questions to ask during your doctor consults. My only advice is to not rush into this. If you don't get everything lined up in time for September, then just keep researching and don't get your surgery just for your friends wedding. It's not worth the rush if something goes wrong. Can't wait to hear how the doctor consults go. And be sure to post some pre op and/or wish boob pictures!
