I've decided to write this review and blog about my thoughts and processes. I have some unanswered questions that I am hoping some people can shed light upon. If not that, I would at least love to help any other girl who is trying to gather information and research (once I get my BA done and have results to report) just as I am right now.

So I've been deciding on a breast augmentation for only a little while but have 100% decided on doing this before I move to a new state in a few months. I thought this was the perfect time to do this as I will be meeting new people and would much rather have this done now rather than meeting all these people and then suddenly having a huge chest.

I've done some online searching and the one surgeon that people rank as the "best" here in my small town is booked until September, or late August for even a consultation. I thought that was way too late and wanted my breasts to have time to "settle" prior to my move. I decided to book consultations with other respectable surgeons. I went to my first consultation a week ago. This PS suggested High Profile Silicone 340 CC's. I don't feel very comfortable with this surgeon and if there's one thing I've learned on this website, it's to choose your surgeon correctly. This one didn't seem to interested and just answered my questions (idk...I've heard of other doctors being very interactive and helping with more input). I asked about transaxilliary incision he told me no, its not possible with silicone - which i KNOW it is possible just by browsing this website! So...i'm not sure if I heard incorrectly or he just really didn't think I did my research. Anyways! I got quoted around $4800... I thought that was too cheap ( is there something wrong with me?) and got weary that the place might be not as experienced or losing clients or something. Idk. Maybe i'm thinking too much into it. (also read some negative reviews on this place, so i'm kinda paranoid).

In 3 days I will be going to another surgeon. I believe he is one of the top surgeons here as well. (Chief of Plastic Surgery at our huge local hospital with many years of experience (25+?) I have almost already decided on going with this surgeon just by his before and after photos he's posted on real self and his choice of incision. He has many photos of doing the periareolar incision (right under the nipple) the breasts look fantastic and the scaring is almost invisible! (The other surgeon I previously went to ONLY opted to do inframammary). So I'm super excited to meet up with him and get his input on what size I should get and ask him what he thought of the previous surgeons suggestion on size. I'm hoping he has sizers because the previous one didn't. I want to have an idea of what they'll look like :(

Question! What is the procedure right after the surgery? Do I need to have my ride waiting for me in the waiting room or can they pick me up outside? The one person I've told about this surgery is not too keen on me doing it and may or may not pick me up. So I have friends who will pick me up but I don't want them to know what I've gotten done. Will surgery offices allow this or do they need to meet the person? Also - will I be functional? I'll be coming home to a very strict person and I need to act as normal as possible LOL. Thanks for reading and I would appreciate any advice on my questions if anybody can :) I'll be updating again once I have my consultation in a few days. I'm uploading photos of my current boobs and wish boobs!

I definitely wouldn't do the first one! Didn't even have sizers? Strange. Look until you find the right surgeon, even if you have to wait for the longest one. I haven't had mine yet either but the right surgeon I believe would be the most important part. Good luck!

Yeah I think I've decided not to go with that PS.... Ahh! Good luck with your process and surgery! I hope you find the perfect one.

And since you're having general anesthesia you'll have to have someone taking responsibility of you for the first 24 hours. Any reputable surgery center is going to insist that there's someone there with you that knows what you had done and can watch for adverse reactions to anesthesia. I can't imagine you being able to act normal when you get home, you'll be in at least some discomfort, be walking slowly and not be able to make some movements normally. You might want to wait until you have someone supportive in your life that can be with you for just the first couple days.

Probably a good idea thanks girl! I'll try to convince the one person I've told to get me and take care of me for the day.

You will definitely need someone to help you out at least the first couple of days. They will have to be supportive and helpful.

Went to my second consultation today and absolutely love this doctor! He was very nice. He was the one that escorted me to his office, sat me down, talked to me, and then escorted me to the exam room to try on sizer's! I was very happy that this office held sizer's so I could actually see what they looked like on me! Just how hospitable this doctor was made me feel very comfortable. Usually the doctors are in and out in a hurry but he seemed to have all the time in the world! Anyways, enough gushing about the PS, I tried on the size 350 cc silicone. They looked great I think! I uploaded photos of them. The doctor recommended either high profile or ultra high profile because of how petite I am... I heard that these don't look very natural but I think I trust his opinion. He chose high profile in the end and i'll just ask some more questions next week when I go in for the pre op. Oh, did I mention, I already booked the surgery date? LOL. It's in 2 1/2 weeks!! OH MY GOSH!! The quote price was about 1000~ more than the one I previously went to but I don't mind. I think it is way worth it.

After talking to the front desk lady/esthetician, I expressed my concern to her about boob greed and she went to talk to the doctor for a bit and I guess he decided on 375 cc's instead. Which I guess is a barely noticeable difference. I hope they don't look huge. I was also hoping to have the peri areolar incision, but the doctor says it may be a bit difficult :( So i might just ask him again at pre-op ... I really don't want an incision scar under my breasts :( Anyways, my pre-op is next week so i'll update some more once that comes. I'm going to start wearing huge bra's for the next couple weeks so the difference isn't shocking once I get them!

Look at anna1989's photos on real self. Hers are high profile or maybe even uhp and she looks very natural. It has a lot to do with your width and you may be too narrow to fit the width of moderate profile. I bet you will look awesome

oh thank you! ah i just looked her up.. i am about the same body size as her i think but probably a way smaller booty. her's look nice on her, but they are really big!! ahhhhh. i come from a very conservative family so i'm trying to keep this on the down low and those would look so hard to hide!! i can't seem to find any of her photos for "before". I wonder if she was maybe alot bigger than me and this might be why they are so much bigger? this is such a hard decision :( i'm so afraid i'll regret getting too big or too small.

Just had my pre op today! Signed some papers and got my prescriptions. One for nausea and one for pain. Tried on the sizers again with my mom there for opinions. (Finally got her on board with it - she doesn't approve completely but she's accepted that I've made up my mind and will now be my transportation! ) She thinks the 350 is too big and they're recommending 375.... So I may go with 350. Going again next week with more tight fitting clothes to try on the sizers again. I think the size will be fine but I just really want peace of mind or I will stress like crazy haha. I think I may go with the smaller size. I read often that if you're choosing between two sizes to choose the bigger one. But idk, I would much rather be too small than having it too big and fake looking. If it's too small I can just wear a push up... Idk! I want it to look natural and believable, not for people to look at me and immediately think fake boobs. Idk. Haha what a hard decision. I did a countdown and its 13 days until my surgery! Wow!!! It's coming so fast! So I've been guilty and shopped on eBay and got 2 crochet knit tops already :( they were one size so I'm guessing they'll fit fine. They're super cute and I got them because I'll be moving to California and can wear them to the beach!!! And actually have a chest that will fill them out! They're shipped from China so idk if I'll be able to take a before photo and after photo before they get here. So excited ! Will update more at my next appointment to try on clothes and sizers if I change my decision on anything :)
