24yrs Old, 5'2 115lbs - 304cc Silicone Implants with 24hr Recovery. Dallas, TX

I've known since I was around 16 years old that one day I'd get a breast augmentation. I've worn a 32A bra ever since I've "needed" one and I've always been self conscious about my chest. To me I've always figured that I can change almost anything about my body either in the gym or with makeup.... except my sad little boobies. As we all know here, getting just about any plastic surgery is expensive and requires you to take time off work - I'm a bartender/makeup artist/student so I really can't afford to take time off without pay - so it's taken me quite a while to finally go through with even having a consultation! I recently turned 24 and got engaged to the most amazing supportive man I've ever known and he's the one that asked me if I hadn't gone trying on bridal gowns because I was self conscious about the size of my breasts. And well.... he was 100% right. He helped me scour this website and various others looking for doctors in our area and came with me to my consultation with my 1st choice - Dr Khan. We read reviews, looked at her work, and after speaking with her I knew she was the one!

We got to play with the silicone and saline implants and I knew immediately I was going to get silicone. They just felt so much softer and looked so much better even sitting on the table saline just wasn't an option. She took my measurements and talked to me about what look I'm going for (natural looking D, but I'd be happy with a full C) she told me my options were 286cc or 304cc silicone implants and showed me samples of both. Honestly to me they looked identical but I decided to go with the 304cc just in case the boob-greed sets in I'll know I got that extra tablespoon LOL! She specializes in the 24hr recovery breast augmentation which she explained that she uses cauterization to prevent bruising and doesn't cause any unnecessary trauma to the area also minimizing swelling and pain in general. I was told I could go home after my surgery and take a 2 hr nap, get up and take a shower and meet my friends at the mall! I haven't seen many reviews on this method but the ones I have seen have been very good and there was no added risk involved so I'm gonna do it =) I won't be returning to work the next day like they said I could, I'm taking off 3 extra days just in case. I'm doing the inframammary incision with the implant placed under the muscle.

I don't have any photos at the moment but I'll try to take a few before shots tomorrow. I'm super excited and can't believe this is all happening so soon! Only 10 more days til boobies!

Here's some pics of where I am now, I was measured two days ago at VS and I am a 32A for sure. I can't wait to post some after pics in this same bikini! Only 10 days to go!!

So lemme start this off by giving you a little background - I called my primary care physician (family doc/PCP) on my insurance 2 weeks ago to schedule an appointment to get my blood work done before surgery hoping some of them might be covered by insurance. I have no problem paying for them out of pocket if I need to but if I can get them for free or at least partially free why not right? Well today was the only day that my PCP had available between June 11-24 and I have to have my labs done no sooner than 2 weeks before my surgery date, it's now exactly 7 days pre-op.

Well first my doctor tells me I shouldn't feel like I need a breast augmentation and he tells me I look great the way I am (am I the only one that thinks this is totally inappropriate of him??) and then tells me my labs may not be done in time so I should be prepared to re-schedule my surgery.... uhh I've already paid for this in full, I'm not about to have to pay more to reschedule! He also asked me why I hadn't come in sooner when I had the earliest available appointment he had! He questioned my choice in plastic surgeon and kept asking me if I had done all of my research and if I had already had a consultation... I have a surgery date! Of course I've had a freakin' consultation! He then tried to tell me he might be able to find a way to get my insurance to pay for part of my breast augmentation if I go with another surgeon via his recommendation. I've never heard of health insurance covering any elective surgery, especially not a boob job! I love the surgeon I've chosen. I've been researching breast augmentations since I was 16. I've literally wanted this for 8 years and now that I'm only a week away I have to hear this BS?? He ended up putting a rush on my labs after I looked like I was either going to cry or rip his throat out but there's a chance I won't have them all done in time for my surgery date.

I'm so annoyed and discouraged right now I could cry. I've already taken the time off of work to have my surgery and recovery time, I honestly can't afford to reschedule at this point (if I've been reading my paperwork correctly my surgeon has a strict cancellation policy since she only does surgeries on Thursdays and Fridays and uses a hospitals operating center). I know I need to find a new PCP after this, I just don't know what to do about my blood work at this point. It doesn't help that I have raging PMS right now and I already want to cry for absolutely no reason anyway, but this has really crushed my mood today. I thought being stabbed with a needle was going to be the worst part of my day, now I'm so stressed out I don't even think I can eat right now.
