I have always wanted to get a boob job. I have always had 2 breasts that were different sizes. I knew I wanted to finish having kids before I did anything about it. They’ve always been pretty big, I have always worn D bras although I feel like my smaller breast is probably a C.
I have had a phone consult with Dr. Hochstein in Miami, FL. I feel confident in his ability to get the desired look I am going for. I am excited to get this procedure done but also wonder if it is worth it. I do have large breasts already and can make them look decent, but I have always wanted the “fake” look.
I have scoured the internet looking for a surgeon to compare to Dr. Hochstiens work but haven’t been able to come up with too many that can compare. There is one in California, Dr. Arvin Taneja, But I still am drawn to Dr. Hochstein. I would be traveling so I am worried about the flight home one day post op. I am worried about having a 2 year old to come home to. This is hard. IS IT WORTH IT?
I will be making my decision later this week to book the surgery. For now I obsess over everyone’s pictures and recoveries. ;)

I too was an out of town patient! I am 2 years post surgery and it was the BEST decision I ever made! Dr H’s work is amazing!

Thank you for responding! What procedure did you have and how long after did you travel? I have a friend there so I will be traveling alone!

I had a breast aug, I flew down Monday had my pre-op appointment that afternoon, surgery Tuesday, post op appt Wednesday and flew home Thursday! I had a family member come with me, I wasn’t able to lift anything, go to the bathroom alone besides to pee.. it wasn’t easy but it was SOOO worth it! Good luck!!!!!

did you end up getting it done? i went with arvin tanaja this past friday to get a lift and BA some of the pictures look like my breast now, wondering if that was normal and will eventually fall into place.
August 23, 2018
Yes I went wit Dr. H! I am 8 weeks post op. I have been tracking my progress! Please have a look at my journey and maybe will answer some of your questions!
August 24, 2018
Thanks, that helped. Did you feel stiffness and tightness for the first few weeks?
August 25, 2018
Oh yes! 8 weeks later I am still tight and in some places numb! It’s all part of the process. Patience will be the be the best thing you can do for now. We would love to follow your progress!

Congrats on booking your surgery date. Its a super exciting experience. Dr. Arvin Taneja was my surgeon. You picked a couple doctors that have great reputations. Dr. Taneja gave me my dream breasts. I hear Dr. Hochstein is great too. Im 16 months post op. Do you know if you are going with saline or silicone? Do you have an idea of the size? Let us know. Looking forward to following your journey!! Take care!!!
June 6, 2018
Thank you!!! I’m so excited and really obsessed right now! I’ve seen your review and they are amazing in true Dr.Taneja fashion. He really does do an amazing job! Congratulations on your beautiful breasts as well. I feel like this will be life changing! We will be doing silicone under the muscle. I am thinking I want 385/405HP implants, but will not know for sure until pre-op day before surgery! Thanks for your comment!

Today makes 2 weeks until my surgery! I am so excited, I find myself completely obsessed. I am starting to second guess what I want, and it’s hard to be an out of town patient. I’d like to try on sizers and take my hubby! (He’s not traveling with me) At first I was certain I wanted 385-400cc high profile, but now wondering if I want 300-350cc mod+. I want a very natural fake look LOL— my husband has stated he does not like 2 round balls on my chest, but he says do whatever I want. Ugh
I started my pre surgery vitamins today! I started Iron, vitamin C, and a multi vitamin. I will start taking Bromelain 3 days before and then everything AND arnica Montana and vitamin A after surgery. I have read a lot of literature that these homeopathic medicines really help! Hope so!! Well I hope these next two weeks fly by!
Has anyone flown out the next day after a breast lift with implant? I’d love to hear how it went for you.
Anyone going through this right now also? I’d love to have a boobie buddy!

Can't wait to see your upcoming posts! I'm going for 350- 400 cc moderate + with a lift as well July 23rd. Lol exactly "the very natural fake look"!
June 13, 2018
Thanks for your reply! How exciting for you! Can’t wait to see your results as well. What are your stats? I think 350-400cc will be a good size for me as well.
June 14, 2018
I'm 5'3" 144 lbs athletic, 38yrs,
3 breastfed kids with all born by c sections (therefore I'm getting a tummy tuck as well-mommy makeover)

PS advises me not to go too big because he is giving me a breast lift as well unders, and tells me that size of implant vs lift is a fine balance.

How did it go? How are you doing?!

I love this thread! I am also going for the fake natural look!!
July 28, 2018
It went well!! Had it all done this past Monday on July 23rd. ended up going with HP Mentor smooth 400 cc left and 425 cc right.I'm weaning off narcotic pain meds now slowly. I can't wait to get these 4 JP drains on Monday- as I had a BL,TT and implants. It only took him and his resident 3 hrs for all! I'm still not able to fully stand up straight and my back is killing me. My breasts are dropping slowly day by day. The right sitting higher than the left though ive read that often dominant size usually drops slower. Looks like your doing great and looking great!
July 29, 2018
So glad to hear everything went well... are you tracking your progress? Who was your dr?
July 30, 2018
I've been taking photos yes.
Dr. Avi Islur. He is top notch.
I find that my right breast isint dropping as fast and that is my dominant side.
July 28, 2018
Sorry I meant these JP drains OFF not ON lol!
