27, no kids, 34A, 5’0 & 110 lbs: finally on my way to have boobs!

I took the leap and started my breast augmentation journey this year! Like many others, I have thought about having this procedure done for a long time. I will be 27 in March and have always felt self-conscious about my boobs. Swimsuits, tops, and dresses remind me that I have have little tatas and can’t quite fill them out like I want.
Now I am at a point in my life where I am ready to make a change! I went to my first consultation in October to meet with a local plastic surgeon. She was extremely qualified and attended prestigious universities for her medical education. She is also rated well by others here on Real Self, on Yelp, and on google. However, after the appointment I felt I should continue to look for a surgeon. Her prices seem high ($8,000) and I didn’t feel that she was personable. In fact, she seemed negative and uninterested. I have Asymmetric breasts (2-3 cm difference), and she said there are no options to address the asymmetry and that my boobs would have to stay as is—in terms of shape and placement. She also didn’t give me her thoughts on what sizes would be best for my body type. She stated that she would only discuss her opinion after I booked the surgery—even though the consultation wasn’t free. Further still, she said she new in her head the biggest size implant she would be willing to insert while re-emphasizing how little breast tissue I have. I got the impression she didn’t want to go over 300 CCs, maybe 325 CCs. I didn’t get to try on any sizers, and she didn’t use the Vector imaging where I would be able to see a visual representation of what my breasts could look like with different sized implants at various placements. I understand that she is partially right about the implications of my asymmetric breasts, but I will explain in a moment why I feel she...well, I felt she blew me off. Needless to say, I left that appointment feeling disappointed, ashamed, and embarrassed of my lopsided boobies.
Fast forward to yesterday, December 17th. I went to another consultation with a surgeon 5 hours away. This time, I felt the opposite when leaving Dr. Michelle Spring’s office. The entire staff was super friendly, and I felt that they all truly cared and felt excited for me. Dr. Springs prices, while still somewhat high, are definitely more reasonable that that of my previous consultation. She was also super nice and optimistic about the procedure and the results. She asked about my ideas and questions and responded with hers. Going back to the asymmetry, Dr. Spring confirmed that the amount of difference in my breast placement will be noticeable on the underneath area of my breasts after surgery. The asymmetry will indeed be magnified. Despite this fact, she went on to explain that she would do her best to ensure that my breasts are as even-looking as possible on the upper area and that a good bra would hide my asymmetry and also give me the cleavage I desire. She also talked about other procedures, such as a breast lift or fat transfers to help even out my breast asymmetry in the future if I wanted to pursue that option. The other surgeon offered none of this information and made it seem as if I would have to live with the asymmetry forever. This is why I feel that the first surgeon was not the best surgeon for me. I am sure she is highly skilled and has a wonderful education, but I really appreciated the support and warmth of Dr. Spring.

Here are some body shots of me and some wish pics of what I hope to look like after my procedure. I know I won’t look 100% like these pics because of my asymmetry, but a girl can dream! For now, I’m happy that I’m taking the first step with augmentation. And of course I am super bloated in these pictures. But that’s the life of a woman. I’m super excited to book my appointment. I’m waiting until January when I’ll have the money to place my deposit. I’m hoping to get them done in May. I have my dates picked out so hopefully they will stay available!

Here are a few more pictures that didn’t get uploaded with the last post...
