Excited, Nervous, and Apprehensive - Boston, MA

hi! i'm 34 years old. i have had one child (14 years ago) and i have wanted to have breast surgery for the past 10 years. i dislike the deflated look of the upper part of my breast. i dont hate them, i just want to love them. i am now debt free and saved up enough money to get it done! i think!

several times a day i go from "yes i want this" to "i dont need this"
i know i want to have the surgery but i like to be fully informed, and research only leaves me doubtful. i guess i mainly wonder how many people, that have breasts like mine, are unhappy.

ive talked to the PS office and expect to pay about 7500 for silicone implants. i didnt ask how much a lift would be. does any one know a round about cost? my counsultation is in 3 days! i will ask and update then.
i live in Maine and will be driving 2.5 hours south to Boston for surgery. there isn't an abundance of PS here in Maine. I considered going to NH for surgery, but i think Boston would offer more doctors with more experience considering im black.

im still in between deciding about a breast lift
saline vs silicone
textured vs smooth.
i also wonder about nipple sensation, post op auto immune reactions, and how many people need revision.
any help would be great :)
i measured myself and believe i am a 34b. i wear a padded 34c to give the illusion of bigger breasts. i would like full c's with some clevege.

In the waiting room right now!! Drove 3 hours in the snow. Time to consult and see just what the doctor thinks is right for me :) wish me luck xoxo

So I went for my consult today. It was great :) my ps was very straight forward and comforting. I asked about 110 questions, and he did not hesitate to answer them. I didn't at all feel rushed or like my questions were silly. (Even though I know ale of my questions WERE silly)
We decided on 350 gel unders.
I chose gel because I want them to feel as real as possible. I dislike the thought of the extra rippling with the saline. I hear this can be avoided by slightly overfilling the implant, which to me sounds off. If you have to "overfill " it just get a bigger size right? But then here comes the rippling again. Also, I
know the saline get folded, placed, then filled. For some crazy reason I find comfort in the thought of a closed implant without another step added to the surgery that may carry possible risk for infection. I like thinking they will feel like my own.
I will be going with 350's. This is against my girlfriends wishes for 300's. We are both afraid anything more then 350 would be too much. I'm not looking for a huge change in size. Just more clevege, and better proportion
Right now I'm about a b+ a full c is the goal.
I will not be having a lift as anticipated. I wanted a lift and at the same tome I dreaded the thought of having one. I wanted one because for the $$ being spent I want my nipples to salute the sun! They still point straight so doc thinks I can avoid the lift. Also the extra surgery could be avoided if I find
myself happy with the results of just having the ba.
I'm happy to have a conservative ps. He never tried to upsell me on a lift, tt. lipo, or anything else I'm sure would help me lol.



he tells me to have realistic expectations and I will be happy with my results.
