Waited Long Enough! I'm Getting BOOBS!! - Charlotte, NC

I'm a 24 year old stay at home mom/college student. I have three consultations lined up next week. I'm very nervous and excited. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing the same flat chest that I had when I was 12! I really want saline because I'm a very worrisome person. With saline I'll know if I've ruptured, and I'll have the peace of mind knowing it's just salt water. I'm thinking 350ccs, but I will wait to see what the doctor recommends. I definitely want a natural slope, nothing too high. With my chest being so flat I'm worried if I go too big they'll look really fake. I don't know anyone who's had breast implants so this site has been very helpful to me. My whole family has giant breasts, so they have no need.

I only went to one consult and cancelled my other two. I couldn't imagine a better visit so it was an easy choice for me. I was never rushed during my visit, everyone of my questions was answered in detail, I was able to sit down with the surgeon and express my concerns. Now it was nerve racking at first because it's such a new experience for me, and I'm so self conscious. However, the staff was great at making me feel at ease and comfortable. I was measured for the first time in my life. He measured everything! I didn't know there were so many places on my small boobs to measure! After that I got all my questions answered. He showed me before and after pictures. Then I met with the consultation nurse to go over prices. I went home and later decided on saline implants under the muscle. He warned me that I might see rippling at the bottom of my breast, hopefully not, but this is something I'm willing to accept. The biggest reason I'm choosing saline is because I'm scared of possibly getting a slow silicone leak. He explained that the silicone would not cause cancer or any disease, but it can leak and leave lumps in the lymph nodes on the sides of the breasts. I don't want lumps, and I definitely don't want the possibility of later surgery to remove these lumps. My main goal with breast augmentation is to fit better in clothes, and I feel like I can accomplish that with saline implants, and they're safer.

These are my wish boobs. Not too big, but I want to have nice cleavage in a tank top or bathing suit. I forgot to mention I chose Dr. Ferrari as my surgeon! Very excited to have the body I've always dreamed about, but can't stop worrying about the risks! Definitely going through with it though. My deposits made and I won't let myself turn back. I know I'll be happier when it's all over with.
