Finally Get to Feel Like a Complete Woman! 23 Y/o 5'10 - 155 Pounds - Folsom, CA

So I have been insecure about my breast size my entire life. Every single day from the time I was 12 i've been waiting for boobs that never came. I've finally made the decision to get a BA and couldn't be happier. After 6 months of stalking reviews on this site I figured it was only fair to share my story in hopes that It will help someone else make their decision.

So far I have met 3 different doctors.
Dr. Larry Fan in san francisco
Dr. Miguel Delgado in Novato
and Dr. Shahriar Mabourak in Folsom

The one thing I was most worried about is obtaining a FULLY natural look. I was scared that because I don't have much breast tissue to begin with (34A) that a large implant would look unnatural.
While Dr Fan and Delgado both had pretty great results on their websites, dr Mabourak seems to be a magician when it comes to obtaining a natural, sloping breast look no matter how little breast tissue you start out with or how big of an implant you want. Not to say that I want a giant implant, but i'm hoping to end up with a C or maybe a D cup size by the end so they fit my body type. (I'm very tall and athletic)

Also while both Fan and Delgado were a little bit closer (about an hour drive) versus a 2 1/2 hour drive to folsom, both of them gave me quotes of 8300-9000 for a silicone implant. Also both picked out relatively small implants for me to try on (270-300cc's) and still weren't too confident about being able to obtain the look I am seeking.

After meeting with both I did a bit more research and found Dr. Mabourakh. Although he charges 60 dollars for a consultation (which goes towards your procedure if you do choose him) the staff all said most women that consult with him end up choosing him because his results are undeniable and speak for themselves. After my consult I can say confidently that they were right and I found the doctor for me. He was detail oriented, he spent the most one on one time with me out of any of the doctors and really listened to all my annoying questions and answered them as best as he could. He gave me sizers to try on (375-400 mentor mod+) and I thought they both looked a little big. He told me that they tend to look a bit smaller after being placed under the muscle so if I liked the look of the 350, to go with the 375. I'm still not sure if I want 375 or 400 but I guess i'll decide at my preop consult.

He also used an imaging system that was able to show me what my results would look like after everything had fluffed and settled. I was bouncing off the walls with excitement. I originally wanted to go with a moderate classic implant but he explained that he only really used them on women who have wide chests so they can have more volume with out too much projection and they tend to look too flat on regular patients. I want a really natural sloping look and that's why I thought the Moderate classic was a better choice. He said the mod+ is going to give me the slope I want and a moderate projection without having too much upper pole fullness (Which i'm trying to avoid at ALL COSTS) and the mod classic would actually give me more upper pole fullness because of the way my tissue would stretch over the implant... go figure.

Anyway 2 days after my consultation I made the 20% downpayment (1200) and booked my consultation for November 6th. Less than 3 weeks away and I can't tell what i'm more excited for... Halloween or boobs. I definitely think its boobs!
I also wanna add that they give you a 3% discount if you pay in cash or cashiers check. So I saved $150 by paying the rest of the amount in cash which is due the day of my preop consultation (october 30th)

I will be updating again then!

So after freaking out for weeks and checking real self like an addict thinking that I might be making a mistake going with the moderate plus instead of moderate classic I finally went to my pre op appointment.

I'll admit it felt a little rushed. Then again it was 2pm on a friday and i'm sure everyone just wanted to get home... but this is MY body we are talking about and I wanted to make sure I was making the right choice. Dr M talked me through the procedure I asked if we could to the vectra imaging again, he said we wouldn't have time but we could try on sizers again. I showed him my goal picture (Pierced nipples) and he said If I want that look that I would need to go higher than 375, to 400 or 425. We tried on sizers, i tried on 400 and 425 and i liked the look of the 375 the best and he said that if I wanted that look to pick the 400 because they would get flattened under the muscle.
I explained what i'm most scared of is too much projection, but after trying on moderate classic with the same width, and a lower volume (320-340) I realized hes right and they would end up looking extremely flat.

So implant chosen, 400 CC moderate plus mentor.
and holy [RS bleep] i'm 5 days away from boob land. Going to take some before pics in shirts and clothes, and go pick up my medications

Holy freakin crap I'm only 5 sleeps away from BOOBLAND!!!! I'm still scared they might end up on the larger side than what I was hoping for but after looking at pictures of women my height and build its starting to comfort me a little bit more seeing that most chose between 400-600 cc and their results look awesome. I hope my 400 fits my body. Anyway I took more before pictures in a few swim suits, bras and shirts. Might take more tomorrow. But here are a few mor before pics
