WORTH IT$7,500

Looking to increase breast size. My breasts never felt proportionate to my body (hips/butt) and I barely fit a 34A. Bathing suits and cute dresses/tops leave me frustrated. I wear padded bras and bathing suits all the time, but they are hot and I still can't achieve cleavage with them. I've been thinking about this probably since I was 11, haha, but finally feel mature enough to get surgery. I always felt like if I got a breast augmentation it meant I didn't like my body, which isn't true. I like my little boobs, they are a part of me, and I've had them for a long time, but I'd like to know what its like to be a woman with some boobs basically. I had a consultation today with Dr.Seckel at Emerson Hospital (Concord,MA) and felt really comfortable with him. I was pretty nervous at first and even when they took meaurements, but it got easier as the appointment went on. I'm between 300 and 350 cc's, my Mom, Dr.Seckel and his assistant all thought 350 cc looked the best. I have two months if I want to change my mind, and Ill keep wearing the rice sizers I made. He has a great blog and answers questions frequently on this site. This has been the most informative and encouraging site ever! I don't know a lot of people who (openly) have breast implants, so it was nice to feel like there is a whole "community" out there.

Go with the biggest size you would be comfortable with you won't be disappointed . Remember if you go under the muscle you loose like I think 25 ccs . Good luck to you . It was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Our body types appear very similar. I, too, am unsure between 300 and 350. I go again this week to try the sizers. It's overwhelming, but exciting!!

I have an upcoming appointment with Dr. Seckel at the end of March. I am interested to know how much it will cost, I have a very similar frame as yours and want a natural look. I noticed you said the cost is $7,500 for your surgery. Is that already deducting the 1,000 promotion?

Yes, the final cost is after the 1,000 deduction for mentioning Real Self--this is where I found all the good reviews on him!

I'm scheduled for my BA surgery on March 2nd! I just posted my first post with pics, so it will take a day or so to be up! I too barely fit into a 34A. Although I'm not super pear shaped, I do have a butt and thighs. I can totally relate to your post. I hate swimsuit shopping. I want to feel more womanly. I can't even achieve cleavage with what I've got either. I'm going with implants somewhere between 339 - 370 cc. I liked the look of the 304cc implants and my surgeon adds 15% more cc's because I'm going under the muscle and will lose some volume. I'm excited for us!

It will be ok. I was freaking out the last two weeks preop. I couldn't stop my mind. This site has helped so much. I finally joined and posted my story, I felt like I had to ease the minds of others. After all my mind was finally at ease from reading everyone's story's / experiences. It's a great place to have you feelings / fears validated by others who have gone through the same stuff! thanks to all :)

I forgot to mention I got $1000 off because of this site (he has a special on his site here). They explained the behind the ear nausea patch they'll use during surgery (I get nauseous easily) and their triple sterile technique (wash pocket with antibiotics, cover implants with antibiotic and change their own gowns/gloves etc)-he said due to this this capsular contracture rate is less than 1%. Instead of stuffing the implant in with fingers, they use a funnel device as well to avoid dragging blood and skin cells into the pocket, that can later lead to infection.
