WORTH IT$7,000

Ok so I figured by me putting my story on here it can help or motivate someone just like it did me. I'm 19 yrs old 5'6'' and 155 pounds no kids yet. Growing up I always wanted boobies like my mother well as a sad dissapointment it would never happen bc hers are fake so I'm stuck in a 34 B until I convinced my dad to let me go through the procedure as my high school and college graduation gift. I graduate cosmetology school in 3 weeks. I'm using Dr. H in Birmingham a few of my friends have used him so I decided to go for a consultation. My consultation was July 13 and I was more than prepared I had a list of questions, pictures, paper and pen for notes but not prepared enough to hear that just getting implants wouldnt give me the look I wanted I have a slight touch of pitosis and since I don't have kids and I'm so young I shouldn't be sagging so much so he recommended getting a periareola lift with implants and the FDA would allow me to get silicone implants instead of saline so our price went from $3,000 to $6500 wow that's a lot more than my dad had intended to spend so between him my mom and my wonderful boyfriend they have all pitched in and paid for them. I go Aug. 8 for my lab work and my surgery is Aug. 22 I'm more than excited but nervous too. I'm going with 575 cc Dr. H said that with my anatomy and how much extra skin I have it wouldn't be to big I haven't decided where they will be placed but I will know everything come the 8th I will post pictures soon!!!!!!

Well it's been a week since I started my story on real self I have a count the days down board on my wall at home reminding me I have 21 days left till my surgery I'm still super pumped and ready to do this so I can finally have my dream boobies. Although last week i Beacame a little nervous when my dad set up my app. The women over the phone said My down Payment would be $650 for the saline implants with the lift and when i went for my consultation we agreed on silicone and lift for $6500 and i have the sheet they gave me signed by the nurse and myself so is that a mess up on them and shouldnt i still be able to get the silicone and lift for only 6500 seeing on how thats what the doctor and i agreed on bc We paid the 6500 intending on getting the Lift and the silicone implants not real sure how that is going to work. Comments anyone, and I'm not really technology friendly so I had a great friend help me post pics. I forgot to mention that since February I have lost 40 pounds so Im slowly working on my dream body. I have so much to look forward too here in the next few weeks I graduate college next Saturday and then getting my dream breast. I would love comments, questions anything I love other opinions. So please feel free to ask or comment:)

Congrats on the decision! I do not see that you need a lift!

I am very happy with my results.

I was so nervous my blood pressure went up the morning of surgery. It is normally quite low.... I was just so scared I would not get good results my BP went up. However the results are much better than I expected

Keep us posted as you prepare!

Please let us know about your results. I am 19 years old and I have the same issue. I am 5'6 120lbs and my boobs were never perky. They sag a bit like yours and its made me so self conscious all my life. I honestly would not care to have A or negative double A boobs as long as they were perky.. Sadly enough they are not. I am looking to get a Boof lift also.

Well I graduate cosmetology school this Saturday the 11 th I'm so very excited I go Wednesday the 8 th for my lab work. I have 16 more days until I go under for my surgery. I'm not nervous about the pain by no means I get nervous and scared when I think about the results and that they will be even and not lopsided. I believe the results will look good bc Dr. H is awesome, I guess every women thinks like this, you don't realize how many emotions you undergo when going through a procedure until its actually you. I will update when I go for my lab work and give more details after I talk with my doc.
