18 Years Old, 32A, Tuberous Breast Deformity, 400cc saline - Fairfax, VA

Hi, I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school. I'm 4'11 and a 32 A. I live in the suburbs 45 minutes away from D.C. and I am getting my breast augmentation on April 14th! I remember how excited all of my friends and I were when we started developing boobs in middle school. Everyone goes through that stage of development where their boobs look like pointy cones. Well, I never grew out of that stage. From the beginning of development all the way up to the present, I watched all my friends develop nice, rounded boobs while mine remained small and cone-shaped. I was super self-conscious and I often expressed this insecurity to my mother, who has relatively large boobs. I had no clue that I had a congenital deformity until I did some googling about the shape of my boobs back in December. Turns out I have tubular boobs, which means basically the under part of my boob is missing, haha. I brought this up to my mom and how the shape of my boobs would never become normal naturally. Her response surprised me: "It's okay, darling! Its a cosmetic fix!" I never thought my Middle Eastern mother would suggest cosmetic surgery so nonchalantly. That's when I first started looking seriously into breast augmentation. I did hours and hours of research and then proposed the idea to my father (which I was sure he would laugh in my face). My dad was onboard immediately. I did some more research and found out that there is a top-rated plastic surgeon only 25 minutes away from me who deals with tuberous breast correction regularly! At my consultation, I instantly liked him, so did my mother. My dad wanted me to see other surgeons but I was very confident in my choice. So he agreed, and we booked my surgery for April 14th (over my spring break, giving me a week for recovery).

My pre-op appointment is April 2nd, and that's when I choose size and what not. I would like to be a full C, but I'm going to see what my surgeon thinks will be proportionate. Dr. Hess told me I had to get saline implants since I'm under 18, and he's going to place them under the muscle. And also, he's going to make bilateral cuts in the constricted tissue in order to fix the tuberous shape of my breasts. I cannot believe this is happening! I'm so excited and it's all I think about and want to talk about!

So here are some pictures of my biggest insecurity

Today was my pre-op. I went in with my dad and a close friend. Everything got paid for. I tried on a bunch of different sizers and settled on one.. I just can't remember the ccs.... i think 375?? Idk. I'll update that info when I know. I've been taking vitamin c twice day starting last week, as well as a multivitamin. I'm planning on buying some cocoa butter, laxatives, and frozen pea ice packs this weekend! My surgery is less than 2 weeks away and I am beyond excited (:
