Saline Breast Augmentation...Feb. 8, 2013! - King Of Prussia, PA

After breastfeeding two children my breasts have lost almost all their tissue. I've always been insecure about my lack of boobies and faithfully wore padded bras with "chicken cutlet" lifters. I personally would love be a dd but that may not be possible for my figure. I'm 5'4" 125lbs with a medium frame. So realistically I am praying for at least a d cup. I have met with Dr. Glunk twice and have decided to go with him for my surgery. He seems pragmatic, has answers all my questions and pointed out the best placement for my body. He suggests that I would benefit from a lift but I am not getting one at this time. My ptosis (drooping) is minor and I just do not want the added expense and scars. My surgery is paid for and scheduled on Feb 8th. I still haven't tried on sizers and do not yet know what the cc's will be but about 10 days before the surgery I will figure all of that out at the preop appt. I have learned so much about risks involved that I am terrified but I still want this desperately. I am doing saline implants completely under the muscle. I feel lucky that my surgeon is capable of doing full unders, I have read that this is mainly done in reconstructive surgery and not all plastic surgeons are versed in this type of surgery. I am praying that this what is best for me and that I am happy. I am in a loving relationship where I have never felt any pressure to be something I am not, this is for me. The countdown to the new me begins.....

Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! I'm glad this is for you and no one else. That's the way it should be in my humble opinion. :)

Please let us know how you're pre-op appointment goes and what size you choose!

Hello Ladies (presumably...lol)
Getting more excited than ever. I have my pre op scheduled for January 29th. Ticktock! Get this, they asked me to bring a bra in the size I want to be. (36jj-kidding/ 36 dd) so anyways the lady at Dr. Glunks office/ Kim. Who was really nice and pleasant. (She reminded me a Spanish woman and I kept envisioning her sipping margaritas on the beach. Why I have no clue...she's in a office in Pennsylvania!) Kim told me to bring a non-padded, full coverage bra. I didn't ask about an under wire because at the time I was hung up on the words...size you want to be....the dream is getting closer! Anyway I emailed Dr. Glunks office and asked whether I needed an under wire. Okay here's the crazy part, the phone rings and it was Dr. Glunk! He was between patients saw the email and called me. I couldn't believe it. It made me feel like he is really hands on and in touch with his patients. I can't even explain how much better I suddenly felt. Its silly but something that simple made me feel like is really involved in the whole process. He's funny and confident and a real person. Well ladies the days are counting down and I'm super excited and anxious. I would love to hear from any of you about absolutely anything. Take care. Chat soon.

Any idea what size you are going with? I breastfed my soon to be 18 yr old daughter and had a lot of extra skin according to my doc. I showed him a pic and told him I wanted to be a D cup. (In hindsight I should have said DD.) Anyway, he suggested 425ccs silicone, moderate profile, under the muscle. I ended up with 457 ccs and am so happy I did .. they look great in a bathing suit or low cut dress (Check out my pics if you want) but easily disguised for my day job. We are similar in size .. I'm 5'2, medium frame, broad shoulders I think .. I measure 30.1" around my rib cage and am a size 6, sometimes an 8. 128 pounds (with my boobs, so 126 without lol) .. Good luck and keep us posted! :)

Alright ladies. I have decided on 625 cc's. I instantly picked the 750 but after thinking about it I opted for a little smaller. I hope I don't regret it! Dr. Glunk is planning to do the peri-areola incision and that scares me but obviously if its what he thinks is best then I will go for it. My surgery is 9 days away. Did my blood work today so hopefully his office will get the results and clear me for my surgery. Can't help but be extremely panicky. I know I need a lift but I can't afford one. He says my nipples will be low and that scares me too. I just hope he can make me look good. I'm used to them being low but I'm hopeful that they will look good. I'm not expecting perfection just hoping for the best. So many worries. I'm terrified of the pain and super scared of the complete sub muscular position. But its what Dr. Glunk wants to do so I am trusting him. Will update more later. ;) minky ;)
