Despite my fears and uncertainty, I went through with the surgery, and I’m already so glad I did! My experience with Dr. Rand and his staff team was better than I could have hoped for. The anesthesiologist has contracted with Dr. Rand for 20 years (as well as with other surgeons), and told me privately that if he was going to have work done, it would be with Rand! Once I entered the OR there was a whirlwind of activity around me, but the whole time Dr. Rand stood calmly by my side, holding my hand. The two nurses and the anesthesiologist chatted pleasantly with me and each other, and were all very reassuring and upbeat. By the time my IV was in, one nurse held my other arm, and the other one rested her hand on my leg. They all looked at me and told me everything was going to go smoothly and that they’d take good care of me. It almost felt like they were praying for me — there was a definite spiritual energy present. I was in good hands.
As you can see from my pictures, there’s no bruising, and they’re also not as square as I expected. They did tell me at my post-op that I have extraordinarily strong pec muscles, which likely accounts for the soreness above and below my boob. My left side in particular is quite sore, though already better today than yesterday.
I’m also incredibly grateful for this community and knowing I wasn’t alone in my fears and concerns. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, too!

I miscarried my only pregnancy in 2018, and was devastated at the loss. One thing I loved about being pregnant was that my boobs felt and looked so full. Having always been very small-breasted, I have hated shopping for and wearing bras, bathing suits, and clothing made for boobs. I love my body as it is, and am very thankful for all that she does for me and has taken me through. A friend of mine had her breasts done, and said something that has continued to echo in my head: "I'm only a woman once, and I want to feel like my body reflects that." This resonated with me because I feel more feminine than I ever have in my life, and yet my chest lacks such distinction.
My husband has never complained about my breasts, and has always been very expressive about his attraction to me; yet I don't always feel as sexy as I want to when we are intimate. I dislike wearing lingerie because I don't fit in most things -- they gape or sag and make me feel like I'm not enough, so I just don't wear it. But I'd really like to, and I want to enhance my sexual experiences by feeling more fully physically feminine.
I originally signed up for the surgery to happen on April 6, but due to the Coronavirus was rescheduled for today (May 28). Until yesterday I had been so excited and looking forward to having breasts; but I have been feeling pretty anxious for the last 24 hours. I'm afraid that I won't like an altered body. I'm friends with my body, and this feels unkind to her. I feel really confused, because I love the idea of filling a bra and having a top to match my bottom. Conversely, I deeply value authenticity, and suddenly this feels fake.
I met with Dr. Rand in Bellevue, and felt cared for during my consult with him. It was during the consult that my husband got on board with the whole idea. However, in the weeks since, have not been able to meet with Dr. Rand again to discuss my thought process around my desired results. I went down to the clinic two more times to try on sizers, and finally opted for the Mentor Moderate Classic at 340cc. I don't want to be a large-breasted person, I simply want to have breasts, and I want my results to be exceedingly natural. My last visit was the most helpful, as Dr. Rand's assistant Cami spent 40 minutes with me as I asked questions and tried on the sizers. She was very kind and patient.
I do wish there was some kind of psychological counseling involved in the process of booking surgery, as my thoughts in the last 24 hours are different than those I've had leading up to today. I feel like the decision has already been made -- I've paid for the procedure and everything is arranged. I'm worried that I will regret marring my body and leaving scars on her. I have never felt this way about a tattoo or piercing, so this is really surprising to me, because those are also very body-altering procedures (the piercings less so).
I want to honor my body and also enhance my body. Do these two things line up? Is there more social acceptance around tattoos, and less around plastic surgery, such that I feel more comfortable with one and not the other? I don't want to be driven by social norms, though I understand their power. I also really envy women with moderately-sized breasts. I don't want to be driven by envy. I want this to be about me and what I want for myself. I do think I will love having the new boobs. But will this be worth the cutting and stretching?
I think if I don't go through with it, I'll wish I had. If I do go through with it...? will I regret that decision, too?

My follow up isn’t for a few more days, but trust it will go well based on my prior experiences. I was surprised that Dr. Rand’s prices were so much higher than the average, but now understand why. He was the Director of Plastic Surgery at UW for 10 years before opening his own clinic almost 20 years ago, and has maintained staff retention throughout. He’s a third generation plastic surgeon, and knows his business. COVID-19 threw a wrench in things, but the staff rolled with it and did their best.
