Hi ladies!
Let me start by saying that I have been to four local consultations and had 3 "online" consults from other surgeons as well. I had heard nothing but great things about Dr. Hedden from the ladies over at JustBreastImplants.com and finally took the plunge.... First off, Heather (the out of town patient coordinator) is a complete sweetheart and so helpful. Dr. Hedden personally responded to my first interest inquiry email in less than an hour... And it was about 9 at night! I was beyond impressed (with how busy I know his practice is) that he would take the time to discuss with me -- really shows how he treats his patients.
When I called in to the office to get the discount code for the Drury Inn (which is less than 2 miles from his office) the lady that I spoke to was so patient and kind even though it was about thirty minutes before the office closed. I think her name was Sherry or Suzi.... I'm so awful with remembering names, but she was the epitome of southern sweetness. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his staff. They seem super organized, professional, and are complete dolls. I read a bad review about them being disorganized a few months ago and I really don't think that could be farther from the truth, these ladies have their [RS bleep] together on another level!
I have always felt less feminine, sexy, and self conscious because of my flat chest. I am so happy with my body otherwise -- I workout everyday and do some modeling on the weekends (I work a desk job during the week). I'm petite (currently an asymmetrical 32A) and am really hoping for 600CC's -- 5'4", 105 lbs, and 20 years old (just an FYI for you ladies under 22 who want silicone -- Dr. Hedden can do them if you're a good candidate for them -- it's his discretion though, he knows what's best. "This is a recommendation from the FDA, but we called the FDA, as we were in the initial study group where patients were younger and when we asked the FDA they said it was the doctors choice if they thought the patient could have silicone at a younger age but that is was not wrong or illegal to place them in younger then 22.") This took a huge weight off of my shoulders, I completely do not want saline because I really don't care for the texture or consistency of them, and I was hugely concerned about rippling, seeing as I have so little breast tissue.
My consult is on May 2nd, surgery on the 3rd, and the one-day check up on the 4th! I'm so excited to feel more feminine. My mom had her BA in her 20's and it completely changed her quality of life in terms of how confident she feels. I don't even wear bikinis when I go to the beach I'm so embarrassed of my breasts right now (asymmetry + itty bitty [RS bleep] committee)... I don't even models clothes where I can't wear my Victoria Secret bombshell bra (the one that adds two cup sizes). This is going to completely change my life and I am so excited. I've been saving for this surgery for about a year now and going to consultations for half of that time trying to decide on my surgeon. I think it's safe to say I've picked right. :-)
Lots of love and will keep ya'll updated as I go through this journey! :-) I know reading stories from other women and seeing their pictures really helped me along in this.

We have similar stats. I'm 5'6, 110, and a 32A. I'm planning on seeing Hedden in August for a BA. The only bad reviews I've seen for him (very few) aren't even to do with BA's, and his coats are entirely reasonable. I look forward to seeing your experience with him!

Decided on size tonight! Surgery in less than a week!
lilkittyApril 27, 2016
Eek! Super excited. Consultation this coming Monday, and surgery on Tuesday! Tried on rice sizers tonight with my boyfriend for a second opinion. Definitely hoping for the 650-700 range. We'll have to see what Dr. Hedden has to say!

Hi there.. ide just like to say make sure your completely sure on your size your only small framed i imagone 700 would look massive on you but suppose on if you want them to look natural or not.. anyway good luck and enjoy your new boobs x
April 27, 2016
That's wayyyy too big my sister was smaller than you 510 cc got her to a 32ddd believe me your small
April 27, 2016
Thanks for the advice ladies! Gah, I'm so torn. It may have been the bra and clothes I was trying on yesterday with the sizers. I'll do the test again tonight!
April 28, 2016
Yes hunni ide make sure you need to look at some reviews with sam statistics.. ive seen loads and i personally think they would be more than too big and cant see them looking natural to be honest but its up to you what ever makes you happy just wouldnt want you feeling you made a mistake as it will be a dream come true if you choose right.. xx
April 29, 2016
I wouldn't advise on going that large. I was a C pre surgery and 500cc pushed to a full G. While I am 6' I've been told that they appear large. You're in great hands with Dr.Hedden and his staff no matter what size you end up.

Surgery is done!
lilkittyMay 5, 2016
Hi lovelies~
I got my surgery yesterday and Dr. Hedden was able to give me what I originally wanted -- 600cc's Natrelle (Style 45, Smooth Round Silicone Extra High Profile) in both breasts. I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM! I feel so sexy and they look amazing already. Pain is definitely not anywhere near as bad as I was worried that it would be -- in fact, I am going to work from home a little bit today. :-) I'm so happy with the size. Just an FYI -- I've put on a few pounds in the past few months, I'm at about 110 lbs right now. Dr. Hedden let me know at my pre-op that 400/450cc may be the max that he was able to go with my body, it would just depend on how much he could stretch the muscle with a saline sizer that can have volume added to it -- I told him my dream was 650cc -- but I couldn't be happier with the size. If I have any advice for anyone reading this -- don't be afraid of going too big! I know I'd have regretted it so much if I had went smaller (and honestly, I'd have been a bit disappointed if 400cc was what I ended up with).
I'll write out specifics in a bit, these past couple of days have been HECTIC, and I'm pretty loopy from painkillers, but I'll make sure to update some progress pics and write everything out today! <3

Is there any pictures of your results?
May 6, 2016
Rubio, I'll put some up in the next couple of days. Right now tneh look like weird franken-boobs because of the swelling. lol.
May 8, 2016
I also just had my BA done by Dr. Hedden the 4th of this month I believe it was! I have quite a bit of swelling but also I take steroids too because of a health condition. But I am loving mine as well!!! 450 CC's here...
May 8, 2016
I'm having a lot of swelling too and am so impatient for them to drop and fluff, lol, but I am sooooo happy he was able to fit that many cc's in me! He did such a great job and the anesthesiologist was a hilarious sweetheart as well. Out of curiosity, did you get the boobie insurance that they offer? What time was your surgery? I checked in at 6:15 AM... We might have been in the waiting room together! I hope you heal beautifully, and can't wait to see your results! I'll be uploading progress pics tonight if you want to check them out. Congrats on your BA, I'm pretty excited that our boobiversary is on May 4th (May the 4th be with you.... Star Wars nerd here, haha).
May 8, 2016
Me too! I got the smooth round mentors and a certain kind automatically came with it but had the option of buying some more in the pamphlet they gave me...I also checked in at 6:15 we got there super early tho! At like 6 and sat outside in the foyuer thing by the Spa sign...I'm traveling the rest of the way back home today and haven't really peaked at them much... My luck sucks! Lol Congratulations on yours as well! And hoping you heal beautifully! I'm gonna follow you or whatever it's called on here lol so we can keep up!
May 8, 2016
Oh! And p.s.s. Both of my sisters have had there boobs done by Dr Hedden with great results! Heard nothing but good about him!!!
May 9, 2016
Ok ...happy for you that everything went well...excited to see your results
May 9, 2016
So sorry it's taken me so long to upload pics! Syncing my phone now, I'll upload the pics first so you can see and then just type up my experience later.

My surgerant said he'll do 400cc's max bc my body fram is very little..,weighing 118 & 5'5 hopefully I can fit 550 :(
May 9, 2016
400cc's is still a big implant!! Dr. Hedden was honest and let me know he may only be able to fit 400cc's but he would try to get me as close to 650 as possible. He uses a saline sizer during surgery that he expands to max size (ie starting at 400cc, and adding fluid to it to stretch out the pocket to see what the max size he can fit inside is). What's your breast width diameter? Are you going saline or silicone? I see that you've breast fed, so you may be pleasantly surprised -- usually you have more "flexible" skin that can fit more CC's if you've breastfed. I think your breasts will look beautiful with 400cc's, but when you go under your surgeon may be pleasantly surprised to find he can fit more. Have you had more than one consultation? I would also recommend possibly going for a second opinion, if you're set on a size you may end up disappointed if you don't get it in the end. The first several consultations I went to, all of them maxed me out at 350cc, 400cc, and 375cc -- Dr. Hedden can give you a quote over email if you'd be willing to travel. He did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend him.

I was a 34d when breastfeeding. And went down to 34b so I hope I can achieve a 34dd if possible. It's not much about the "cc's " it's more about achieve a 34dd
