I'm looking for a natural enhancement to what I already have.... My whole life I tried covering up what God gave me and they were free!!! If I had only appreciated it then???? Now at my age I'm looking to buy boobs because with 2 breastfed babies and a ton of dieting and excercize they are completely deflated and have no shape at all unless I have a bra on! Currently I have a consultation w Dr. Brooke Seckel on October,1st! I'm excited yet nervous as I have endless questions with super high expectations! I've seen and read a lot of info on RealSelf which has been so helpful and informative yet I only hope it won't be to my own detriment and scare me away from this mission????

I'm 6 months post op from my BA and i too got obsessed with reading reviews and stories on this site! It's immensely helpful! I went to dr Seckel also and he's a great doctor! Feel free to check my profile out if it's at all helpful! Best of luck to you on your journey! Xo

Thank you for your input! My consult isn't until October but I must say the more I research the more I question how I'm making judgments and what I'm basing them on..... Any suggestions as to what questions to ask during the consult?

I had surgery Sept. 15th with Dr. Seckel. I'm 37 5'2" weigh between 115-120. I went with 275 under the muscle and I'm very happy. I knew 300 was too big for me and I trusted the Dr. to make the final decision between 250 and 275. My left has still not dropped and its a little concerning but overall I'm happy I did it! Good luck.

Glad you had a good experience! I'm pretty convinced he will do an amazing job, however he suggested a lift for me as well. My concerns are more with the scarring? I emailed Kathy and she replied to the best of her knowledge but recommend I have a second consult with him to clarify things better... I feel bad taking up more of his time ... I wish they had 3D imaging as I am a very visual person... I appreciate all your feedback. Enjoy your "new additions"!

Consult Update!

Bostonmom8

Let me first say Dr.Seckel and his staff were warm and welcoming ! From the moment I walked through the door of their office I was pleasantly greeted. The vibe was calm, which put me at ease. I was more nervous than I thought I'd be. The most memorable part was when I had finished my paperwork and went to hand it in at the window . I looked up and there was Dr.Seckel, cute as a button with his bow tie on a great big smile, he cupped my hand in his and said " well aren't you beautiful"! .......Now the actual consultation ..... Again, let me reiterate Dr. Seckel and staff were knowledgable,professional, pleasant, and very thorough. I'll try to keep my thoughts in order but let's just say there is an overwhelming amount of information given during a short period of time( 1 hr to b exact! Mine 2 1/2!) Like I said they are thorough???? Dr. Seckel and his partner explained to me in detail how things would or could potentially go . Based on some of my measurements I would need a lift in addition to the implants( estim.200cc or 250cc which would give me a full C or small D). Wasn't too happy to hear about the lift even though deep down I kinda new it was coming. Grade 2 ptosis that would require areole mastopexy or lollipop.... I can maybe wrap my head around the first but not so sure about the second.....I tried on implants, showed him some of my wish pics and explained how I wanted to regain what I once had and that I didn't want to go bigger. Basically, Fill the pocket of breast tissue that I have with out ending up high projection or being too round and unnatural looking. My only hope is that I accurately portrayed and communicated to him my wants and needs which is tough when speaking "layman's " terms to a Dr.who speaks in clinical terms... At this point I think I'll just need some time to process and digest the info given so that I feel 100% with what ever decision I end up making..
