Wanted a breast aug for years- probably since I was 14. They just never came! Rude. Met with about 5 PS over the last two years (post college & financially ready to make the decision). I never expected myself to be so picky in choosing a PS, but none of them seemed to "click." Some too salesy, one too senior in his practice, one with a [RS bleep] staff. Each consultation cost money btw, but this was a decision worth spending time & money before making. Finally I met my match! The technology his office uses to simulate what a patient will look like with a particular implant was impressive, and I appreciate the time he and his office spent answering my over analytical questions. I trusted his professional opinion and up until the day of surgery left the final decision up to him on whether we'd be using a 385 or 435 cc implant. I was terrified of the number "435," that sounded [RS bleep] star big! I wanted a natural look, perhaps something that would leave people wondering whether I was natural or not. 6 days post op & feeling great! Ladies I'm telling you though, if this is your first major surgery please understand that you will be in a LOT of pain the day of. I had no idea how much pain I was going to be in; every breath felt unbearable. Staying on top of medication is key, and by Wednesday I was a totally new patient. Brushed my teeth, hair, washed my face...I felt like a new woman! Sore of course, but I'm not six days post op & feeling great.
