I'm so happy I found this website!! It's helped me...
WORTH IT$7,200
I'm so happy I found this website!! It's helped me start to make decisions on my road to breast augmentation. I've worn a padded bra my whole life, since I started getting boobs, at about age 11. At most, I've maxed out at a 36B, when not breastfeeding. My mom would always tell me, "don't worry, after you have kids and breastfeed your boobs will get bigger and stay bigger, mine did!" NOT the case at all! My kids weaned at 20 mos and 18 mos and now I'm completely deflated, smaller than ever. I never thought I'd ever think about getting implants, but looking at myself now, why should I be unhappy the rest of my life when something can be done?
For the past 2 months, I've been researching Doctors. Living in Wyoming, there aren't a lot of choices for Board Certified Surgeons. It's common to go out of state for things around here. I started looking at Colorado Drs, but then thought about having to take extra time off for traveling to appts before/after the actual surgery. I'm still debating this. I do realize that I want a great Dr and that might require bending a little. I've been researching everyday (reading reviews, looking at endless pictures...) and talked to ladies I know who've gotten implants. There is 1 Dr in my town who gets excellent reviews, written and word of mouth. I decided to book a consultation with him at the end of Feb. I'm excited to see what he can do for me and if I decide to stick with him, I won't have to worry about travel. That's where I'm at, at this point in my journey! (Having trouble uploading my current pics, I'll keep trying)

I live in Casper too! I had my consult with Roussalis last Thursday and I'm still unsure of what to do. Over or under the muscle, Saline or silicone. What did you do and how did you decide?

Hi kemtay, first off you found this website, that means you're off to a great start in researching and being aware of all your choices. I started reading reviews, looking at FAQ's, looking at TONS of pics, checking out different Drs. After the consultation with Dr Roussalis, I had a more clear direction with what I wanted. I chose silicone due to a more natural feel and less "rippling", and under the muscle due to a more natural look, less rippling, and less risk of capsule contracture. I know, it's hard to decide and it's a BIG decision!! I understand how you feel. With the hundreds of reviews I've read, about 99% are about under the muscle, plus depending on if you will ever breastfeed, unders don't have an effect on your milk glands like overs can. I breastfed my 2 kids and am 99% sure we won't have another baby, but if we did I would want to be able to bf again. As far as being in Casper, Roussalis is the only choice we have. I looked into going to Denver/Salt Lake but with the hassle of taking off work to travel to appts and long drive after surgery, I decided it wasn't worth it, when we have a great Dr right at home!! And overall price is very similar if not even, after you add in all the cost of travel. I would be happy to answer any other questions you have!! I decided to do a review hoping to help other ladies like they helped me! Real Self is a great community of support and encouragement.

1st BA Consultation Appt
I am meeting with a PS tomorrow for my first BA consultation. I'm excited! My appt was scheduled 3 weeks ago, and I've been researching, looking at photos , and adding to my list of questions every spare minute. I'm a busy working mom, so it's not been easy finding the time! From this appt, I'm hoping to get more of an idea of the size required to get me to the results I want (max D cup). It seems, in reading some reviews, that ladies get caught up in the cc's (400, 500...) I have no idea how many cc's at this point. I do know that (I think) I'm interested in silicone vs saline, though. But I'm open to the Dr's advice and opinion, of course! I will update again soon. Hoping I have more direction and questions answered after the appt tomorrow morning. YAY!!
So glad to hear that RealSelf has been helpful with your journey so far. It's great you started your review early too! Here are 21 important questions to ask during your consults. Update us again soon!
