So after getting a new bra fitting at VS last month and realizing I lost more volume I decided to take the plunge and go for a consult. I knew from researching here that I probably wanted silicone gummies, 300-350 cc with an under the boob insicion (term?? anyone?)

I'm 5ft 7in, 120 lb mom of 4 teenagers that escapes to the gym everyday for a few hours.

I set my appt with Dr Louis Mes after talking to several friends who have had it done here in town. According to my nurse friends the saying at the hospital is that "Mes is the best" lol. After meeting him and his staff I agree. He's spot on and very knowledgable. Older ~ been doing this for 39 years and blocks from my house. Easy to talk too and informative.

He actually showed me the different implants including one of the gummies that he had cut open as an example. He highly suggested I go with the moderate or high profile gummy silicone since I'm small and athletic. He suggested 325-350cc, under the muscle and only does the under the boob incision. Props to him bc I didn't even say what I was thinking ~ I let him talk first. He confirmed my thought that he's the one I'm going with.

I considered driving to Baton Rouge if it would be a little less, but it's not enough for me to drive. I'd only save about $500 and Mes gives a 3 percent discount if you pay in cash ~ whoop! Not much but I'll take it.
$85 consult fee btw. $6200 for everything.

I'll be saving thru the holidays and scheduling my surgery for Feb. when our calendar is a little slower and I have time to recover properly.

How exciting! Just curious, what do your teenagers think about your procedure? I believe the incision under the breast is called an inframammary incision - in the fold beneath your breast. Looking forward to following your journey!

Glad your daughter is old enough to understand and be supportive. ;) I just created a February 2015 Breast Augmentation forum for women like yourself awaiting their breast augmentation surgery. It is a quiet forum now but will get very busy soon. I'd love it if you would be the first to comment. You can check out the other monthly forums to get an idea of the great support these forums provide in addition to your review! ;)

Super excited ~ I feel good about my decision. I'm very comfortable with the dr I've chosen and his staff has been excellent.

I've paid half of the amount so far and should have the rest paid with in the next 5 weeks. Busy Busy! I'm leaning towards late January as date and should know soon. Still waiting for the Drs wife to get their travel schedule together for the next year.

Poor little boobies. They actually aren't a bad shape - they're just tiny. Barely filling out a 34A right now

Crazy what spending time at the gym can do to our boobies huh?! I have come across the exact same issue. my doc told me to go 260 cc and im 5'5 100 lbs. Same frame. Boobs look similar to your now…im scheduled for the 19th. At any point did u think u may have needed a lift? I was almost unsure if i did or not but he said implants would give me the look i disire.

Hey! Ikr?! I wondered about a lift but he did a pencil test....he actually took a pencil horizontally under my boob and lifted it to where the implant (hi pro) would put it. Says a lift shouldn't be needed bc the spacing looked perfect. I trust him completely so I think it should be fine. I'm really leaning towards 300-325. 19th of this month?? How fun!!!

Yah, I dont think you need a lift! YES, thats in less then one week. Im going to be getting 225 CC. But I may wanna go unto 250CC. Not sure yet, but he said I will get the look i want and he would be comfortable with it more bc of my frame. If you get the chance, check out my posts! Hope you are abele to get squeezed in before the end of the year!

Thanks girl! I'll be looking for your pics! You're a little smaller than me so 250 cc should give you a good size. My PS said I could go to 350cc but I run and dance so I would hate for them to be to big Ya know???? Oh! And he said he'd clear me to dance after 2 weeks if I'm careful. Did you ask yours about working out?

Ya I did! I have to wait a full 4 weeks before I can really lift any kind of weights. But he said after 2 weeks I can workout my lower body with my body's natural weight. So that means nothing to me really lol! We settled On 225cc but now in thinking i want 250cc! Gotta decide!
