So a little background info about me. I am almost 5 ft 11", 139ish pounds, AA, BWD of 12.8. I have wanted larger breasts since I was a preteen. I had AA's and could not fill out a bra. I hoped and prayed that I would grow breasts as I got older. It never happened. I have always been a AA, sometimes a fuller AA. But always a AA nonetheless. I have researched this quite extensively and I know its something I really want. I began searching for a reputable, skilled surgeon. At first I was thinking I was going to travel out of Canada to get this done. As I do have mild PE and thought this may be an issue. Pectus excavatum for those who don't know. Until I realized there are great surgeons in Canada. And it is a more common thing. So why travel? Also, although lots of women do it. Surgeons generally don't recommend traveling after having a BA. And I dont want to take the risk of having a complication. I searched in my home town by spending many hours researching every local PS I could find. I finally found one that had not a single bad review on any site I looked on. Many people had great things to say about him. Needless to say I booked a consult.
On consult day I was a nervous wreck. I am not sure why I was so nervous. But I was. I actually had a hard time driving to the clinic. My mind was racing, my palms were sweaty. You get the drift. Anyways, I get there and and of course everything is fine. The nurse who helps me is super nice and soft spoken. The clinic is clean and spacious. They first being me to a room to watch a movie about breast augmentation. I already know everything on it from my research but it doesn't hurt to go over it again. We go over my medical history and what size I am looking to be. I am then taken in the back where the surgeon meets me and we begin the consult. I pull out my notebook of questions and go over all of them with him. He is pretty patient and answers them all. Some of my questions he says he hasn't been asked in 10 years at least. I was maybe a little too thorough in my research. ;) He explains everything to me about the complications, implants, and what to expect. I can tell he is knowledgable and competent which is exactly what I wanted in a surgeon. He did say one thing I wasn't aware of.. He encourages his patients to sleep on their back for good. Side sleeping is a no no and it puts pressure on the implant causing bottoming out. He said that sometimes you can get a way with it after they are completely healed. 9 months to a year. But most women can't and it will cause problems. All surgeons are so different in what they recommend. He suggests no massage as it is not neccessary and the implants will soften on there own with time. And does not believe it prevents CC. After we are finished, over an hour later. He of course now looks at my breasts and assesses how much breast tissue I have. We do the before pics and the vectra. It is awesome to see o the vectra that although my ribs protrude my breasts sit evenly and are very symmetrical. There is a one cc difference between them. So no different sized implants for me. He showed me what the mod plus and HP will look like on my frame. They both looked good. Almost identical. The mod plus filled in the gap between my breasts better though. I will try to upload the vectra pics so you can see. After the vectra I tried on sizers, and then the consult was over. I tried to take pics but it was hard to take good ones of myself. Those will be in my next post..
