5’7 (approx. 145lbs) 21 years old. No kids. Getting breast implants!!

WORTH IT$3,000
I’ve spent hours on this site and thought I should give back and start my own review. I’ve always wanted breast implants and thought I wouldn’t be able to afford them until after I got out of college. (I’m currently in school full time and will be doing this surgery during spring break! Hoping for a good recovery)
I heard about my PS through a couple of friends and when I realized his breast augmentations were only $3,000 I realized I could definitely go through with it. I made sure to read ALL his reviews and he is definitely one of the most booked-up surgeons in Alabama! He has so many patients come from all over the U.S. so I’m definitely excited and trust him fully!
My consultation is a week away! Eeeek! I’m so excited. I definitely want at least 450ccs, possible even 500ccs. I can already see myself getting boob greed and I don’t want that to happen! I don’t want the fake-constricted-round-boob look, so I think I want moderate plus profile. We will see how my consultation goes. :)

So I got early to my appt. and waited about an hour which was a bad idea since I stared to think to myself of everything that could go wrong. Anyways the idea of getting boobs is actually sinking in... once I got into the room tried on sizers and met Dr. Hedden I left more confused than ever.
I put in my opinion about wanting moderate plus and he said we wouldn’t know what profile would fit until we chose out a definite amount of CC’s and that I should just trust him because that was not a decision the patient should make. Besides that he answered all my questions thoroughly and now I’m back to the incision I started out wanting (TUBA)
He showed me several before and afters of this particular procedure and they were wonderful results.
Surgery is scheduled for March 22nd as I had hoped. Now the only thing on my to-do list deciding how many CC’s I want and which incision site I want to go through. I tried on 450’s to begin with and I instantly knew I would want bigger. Now I am only torn between 500cc’s and 550cc’s. I’m scared I’m going too big but I also don’t want to have boob greed when all is said and done. Opinions please I’ve attached photos with the sizers on.

I would vote for 550, but ultimately it’s what you feel comfortable with. I know picking a size is so hard! I had the same issue! I about drove myself crazy over it. Lol!

girl I’ve been driving myself crazy but I also think I’m gonna go with 550 so I don’t regret it. :)

I say definitely 550! When I saw the 550 pic, before reading how many CCs that was, I instantly thought it was the perfect size. My rule of thumb when I chose my size was that 600 CCs looked perfect for what I wanted, 650 looked maybe veryyy slightly too big but still good, so I went with 650 because I knew they would not have as much volume as they did with the sizers and probably turn out looking more like what the 600CC tester looked like. It worked for me-if anything I wish I went 50 CCs bigger, though I'm totally happy with the size so far.
50CCs is barely much of a difference anyways (3 tbsp I think) so if you're comfortable with it, I say go with the bigger size :)

So I had to change my surgery date to March 26th because of work/school but no worries, everyone at the dr.s office has been wonderful. Thought I would share some more pictures of the 550ccs I have decided on :) less than two weeks to go!!
Today I was given a packet with all the info regarding the surgery plus insurance which I’m getting. Super excited and hoping Dr. Hedden understands me completely and fully when I tell him my expected outcome before surgery (since that will be the only other time I see him, besides consultation which was 2 weeks ago) nervous but excited.
