Summer 2013 BA

I am 20 yrs old and want to get breast augmentation due to going through pregnancy and nursing. I have deflated mom boobs, with no volume, and the right is a bit larger to than the left, including the nipple.

Let me tell you, I searched, and searched, and searched, and searched some more for the right surgeon. I hate the fake, round, too big look. You never see a girl that couldn't have gone just a teeny bit smaller!

I was willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. as long as the before and after photos on their website matched my taste.. YES every surgeon has their own style as you'll get to know as you look at hundreds of before and after photos, and if I called they were prompt and friendly.

I always wondered..who cares if they're friendly if they're the best.
Well when you're calling from out of town and the receptionist says "well why would you want to travel to Texas," then I think, well, if youre not working for a reputable surgeon and really need me to answer that question, then you are not the place for me..
OR
When you call and the gal answering the phone knows her facts, it really really does make you feel way more comfortable.
The receptionist needs to be curteous and informable!

I basically gave up on looking in Colorado, but decided to give it one more try and found Dr. Campanile in Denver.
I could tell from the before and after photos on his website that I liked his work. Women, who had obviously had children, that he had performed breast augmentation on looked great. I was advised by a couple other surgeons that I needed a lift as well..But dr campanile didn't do lifts on cases like myself and they turned out looking so much more natural..not the up in your face, round look. A surgeon has got to realize that women who are going from nothing are going to turn out differently than a woman who has "extra tissue" to fill, and I really believe Dr. C understands that from his photos.

I called to schedule a consult and the front desk staff was knowledgable and friendly. I kept researching doctors while waiting for my consult, but just knew he would be the one.
I am 20 and a lot of docs won't put silicone in unless youre 21. When I called back again to check if it would be possible the front desk gal was again friendly and didn't need a moment to think about her informative response. She explained how dr. c was a part of the research trials FOR silicone implants and that I could get them before I turn 21.

At my consult the office was nice, and Dr. Campanile had a sweet demeanor. I felt comfortable with him right away.
I told him I want the smallest implant possible, just to fill in my excess tissue. I was sure I didnt want high profile, but he suggested it really may be the best option for me, pulled out his tape measure and showed me how there is only a 1cm difference between high profile and the step below.
Also discussed whether or not I wanted to make my nipples smaller/the same size, (I got the idea from another surgeon at another consult), but after thinking about it after the consult decided I didn't like how after pictures looked of the scar around the nipple.

I called soon after to book my surgery.
I am going back in about a month for a pre op apt. and to pick my size.
He does sizers during surgery, so we will pick a range of three different sizets that he will try during surgery to see which he thinks will look the best, and obviously will need a larger implant in my smaller left breast.
Right now I am a 32D, which makes no sense, but the lady at victorias secret said it's like a 34c, or a 36b, or a 38a, but I am smaller around the rib cage, so the 32 d works great.
Therefore, I'm not too concerned with the "size" I end up being. I told the doc I want as small as possible, and quite frankly, he's gona do what he's gona do. And I'm okay with that because after all my research I found someone who I trust to make the right decision of making them look good!

So I'm scheduled for May 13th.
I have a tendency to heal slowly, and not be able to tolerate pain well so will be getting plenty of help from boyfriend, mom and dad with the kid, and plan to take two weeks of from work. I do home health care visits and am hoping this will be enough time.

Also before I said im getting silicone, and sub muscular, which seems to be what everyone is getting lately.
Will update later, and post before and after pictures.
