Wow! Looking at these photos of my breasts is shocking. I "knew" they'd lost volume, but seeing it in a photo makes me realize how much.
I never thought I'd have plastic surgery, but my husband offered it several years ago and it's been in the back of my head since then.
I selected 340 cc round gummy implants. I've listened to others with size regret, so I went bigger than I had intended. My doctor mentioned I have a decent amount of tissue, so I hope my natural tissue combined with the implants will give me the look I want. I'll have an anchor incision and my doctor said he'd do lipo in my underarm pit crease during surgery.

What drew me to my PS
I saw 3 surgeons before selecting Dr. Terrence Murphy. To be honest, I thought all the surgeons were pleasant and did great work. All were board certified, of course, and within easy driving distance. Dr. Murphy's approach of educating me and explaining his job appealed to me. Also, he didn't strike me as salesman; not slick or slippery in his approach. He also talked to me at length about post-surgery mammograms and cancer. I had done some research on my own and my husband had too, so I was really pleased to see him refer to articles that we had recently read. He is Chief of Plastic Surgery at his hospital, so it's clear he continues to learn and cares about keeping current. Dr Murphy suggested an anchor incision as opposed to a lollipop. The other two suggested a lollipop. While I'm not craving a more complicated incision, I want good, lasting results. If an anchor is the way to do it, then I want to hear that. While it did not factor into my decision making, I was pleased to see that he provides surgery to trans patients via the Murphy Gender Center.

Hi. ALMOST THERE!! EXCITED for you!!! :)

Talk to your PS about it. I don't want to speak for mine, but I think his feeling was that it's relatively easy to do when he is already at that area during surgery and I was already asleep. It should make the overall implant look better, too.
