I am 24, 5'3 and I wear a 32 B Bra. I have gained and lost 20 pounds or so the last 6 years. I reached my goal weight and body type and was finally happy with myself until people started to tell me I had no boobs. I was originally a 32 D and went down to a 32 B. Naturally I freaked out and gained weight back because breast implants weren't an option EVER in my mind at that time. I wish I felt how I do now. I am still pushing to reach my goal body fat percentage of at least 20% by March (my 25th birthday!) with new boobs! I had some consultations and let me just say it was not the best experience. I thought it would be easy to find a surgeon but if you are just starting to research this and maybe know when you want to have it done by (like I WANT to have it don't no later than February so I'm ready for my vacation in April) I would start looking into consults like 6 months prior to event if you know how your financing or a year if you don't. I honestly thought I would get approved for credit for this but to my surprise I ended up having to dispute some things on my credit and am really crossing my fingers I can get my score up so I can do this.

My first consult was a recommendation from one of my clients. I do not want to list his name because who knows he could be a great surgeon we just did not click AT ALL. It's already enough I am hard on myself and I am at your office because I know I need your help. I did not need to hear that you think my boobs look like they are 10 years older than they are and I need a lift (I am still researching a Dr. who thinks I can do implants without a lift because I personally don't feel like I need one at all.). Having an expert critique me was hard. He did not like the position of my nipples or size of my aeriola. Guess what? The placement of my nipples and yeah maybe my aeriolas are on a larger side... they have never bothered me ever. I never even considered changing them. EVER. My only issue is the size and fullness. So now I am feeling deformed because apparently my nipples and aeriola are not right and my boobs look like I am 34..... I literally cried in the office when I was brought to talk about cost, I cried walking to the parking garage, I cried in my car, I cried all the way to work, and cried at work. I was distraught. I wanted to see a female Dr. and maybe she can understand me. By the way he quoted me a little over $10,000.

The next day I went to see a female Dr. She was nice and didn't make me cry. Told me she thought my skin tissue was a big lose because I had stretch marks and had lost weight and positioning making my aeriola smaller and my nipple up higher will give me a more youthful look. She did not wan me to go over 375 cc because of my skin tissue. The previous @**hole Dr. had put me at 425cc. But still said I need a lolli pop lift. I am almost certain I will no do the lift.

I feel like I will probably have kids in the next 6 years or so I would more than likely need one then. I did multiple tests where you put a pen under you boob where your underwire on your bra would be and if your nipple not aeriola is at or under the pen (so at your crease) you would need a lift. My nipple to above my crease and like I said before the placement and size of them arnt an issue to ME. I am going to make another consult on a Dr. I found on here who has done implants with no lift and guess what? They look pretty damn good. I also am going to post YouTube videos along with my reviews. I want to help as many people as possible wo are going through this process. If you have any questions you would like me to answer or ask the Dr. on my next consult please let me know. I am here to share my story and help you!

I just made another consult for January 20th. I really think I might like this Dr. It felt good to know he was booked 3 weeks out. Means he is a busy guy and has a good following.

I had my consult a day my pre op. Dr. Shifrin is great. I had 3 prior consults with different plastic surgeons who had a cookie cutter ideas and would not perform a breast Aug without a lift and without reducing my nipple size. Dr. Shifrin told me who are people to tell you how you should look. He makes people look how THEY want to look. He said if u decided I wanted a lift later on we can do that. I didn't want to do a lift and get the scaring right now. He made me feel so comfortable and he even stayed after to answer more questions I had before I was going to walk out the door to leave.
