Saline Breast Augmentation...Feb. 8, 2013! - King Of Prussia, PA
After breastfeeding two children my breasts have...
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.....

Hello Ladies (presumably...lol) Getting more...
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.

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!
