Cold feet

I'm getting very nervous about this surgery that is about a month away. I will by paying my PS next week and because I'm getting cold feet I scheduled another apt with my PS just to make sure we are on the same page and have the same outcome in mind. Some specifics that are scaring me include the fact that I am trying to fix my asymmetry. My PS told me that because my sizes are so different i don't have a lot of options in size when it comes to a fix. I don't want to end up too big. I don't want to go from flat to barbie. Im very shy and don't want that kind of attention. I know other people have felt like I do. I've been reading everyone's posts some are very happy with the size other regret they've gone to small and then some regret that they've gone to big. I think that last one would be the hardest to live with. Anyways I am constantly reassuring myself and looking at my reasons for doing this, I've been wanting this for so long. I know I will regret backing out. I just need some certainty that it will be what I want.

I decided to post pictures because I am relating much better to the reviews with pics. So I hope that the visual helps. I'm not very comfortable showing the girls but I thought it would be a good decision because they are different sizes. Hope this helps someone with there journey. Time is going by so quick next thing I know ill have a new set up top!

Good luck! It will be neat to see how your PS can make your breasts similar using different implants.

It is so difficult posting pictures of yourself, isnt it? I couldn't do it without putting hearts over my nipples! You're very brave and I think you will help a lot of others out there with similar feelings about themselves. This site has been an immense help and your feedback has been wonderful.

Thank you. It is really hard. Every time I see them on here I get a little freaked out. Thanks for the support.

I had my consultation today. Because of my asymmetry we are doing different profiles different brands and even different textures.This scares me a llittle but I've seen my PS results and they are fantastic. Right breast will be 370 low profile textured. Left 350 moderate plus smooth. Both gel with lifetime warenty.
My appointment for the operation is 8 Oct. My doc will have several different choices in the room to ensure we get the results I'm wanting. End result should be full 36C might touch on a D but I don't want to go to big.

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. Glad to hear your consult went well and that your PS is able to address your asymmetry. Using different sized implants is common so don't worry. I love the fact that your PS will have several different size options available for your surgery. Do you have a collection of wish boob photos? If so, have you shared them with your PS? This will help ensure you and your PS are on the same page. You might also find this Guide to Breast Aug Slang helpful...even post op! Keep us posted!

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm going to check out that guide right now. And yes we have looked at wish boobs but not as seriously as I would have liked to.

Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery hun. Keep us updated.

I think if you are 5'6" inches than your results will look good with that size. Sounds like you found a wonderful PS! I'm posting an update today about some resources that helped me. Feel free to stop by later this afternoon. I would love to hear more about how you are feeling too. I'm very excited but also nervous about how I will be treated. I shouldn't care what others think bc i'm so excited for myself, but I hate negativity and try to avoid those kinds of people. How are you handling your decision? do you think you will tell people?
August 17, 2013
I love your resources. They are awesome. I'm having my ups and downs with the decision. I've wanted to do this for so many years and now thatiI have it planned I'm scared that I will be looked down on. I know I'm going to love my new chest. I will so excited to wear a bathingsuist and sports bras without hiding or being ashamed. I really don't want them to be too big! That's my biggest fear right now. I will not be telling people that are not required to know. However I don't know how I will respond if someone askes me. I don't want to lie. All things I'm thinking about. In the end I know I'm making the best decision for me and I need to stop worrying about my life through other people's eyes.
August 17, 2013
I completely relate! I feel like my decision is good and there is nothing wrong about it, but I don't have a very thick skin and critical looks tend to get through. It's less about me caring what people think about me, and more about trying to avoid conflict. I hate being in uncomfortable situations and I'm afraid that my BA will be a constant source of them. I don't want to lie, but I don't want to talk about it either. If asked, "is there something different about your boobs?" I think I will just respond, "That's a fairly personal question. Is there something different about YOUR boobs?" I plan on telling my closest friends, but I'm not sure about anyone else right now.
I did post a review on YouTube for the Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit, and it was totally anonymous!!! You cant even see my face. LOL Anyway, if you aren't sure about size, feel free to check out the video review and see if the kit could help you. It did for me and was worth it in the end.
