Stats: 27 years old, 5'5", 120lbs, pre-op: 34A, 300cc round implant under the muscle, post-op: 34C
Before I had the surgery, I didn't like my breasts, but it certainly didn't affect my everyday life. I still dated, and let boyfriends see me naked. I wore (padded) bathing suits in public. I didn't always try to hide them, but I certainly didn't feel super confident about them. So part of me thought it was silly to get surgery - I wasn't one of those women where their breasts have a drastic impact on their self-esteem, so clearly I didn't NEED them. This is true. I didn't need them, but implants are something that I always wanted. So I decided to ignore the fact that I didn't "need" them, and shouldn't spend $8,000 on them, and decided to do this for myself. And I'm SO glad I did. It was worth the money, and the pain, and the awkwardness of asking for time off work and not being able to tell them why. I'm very happy with my decision, and haven't regretted it for even a second.
After I made the decision to go for it, I started researching and realized that there was a very highly recommended breast implant surgeon here in Halifax, Nova Scotia - Dr. Bendor-Samuel (Landings Surgery Clinic).
I also spent a lot of time researching what size/type I'd want, and what they would look like. I'm a professional, so I didn't want them to be too obvious. Of course I also wanted them to look and feel as natural as possible!
I'm 5'5" and 120lbs and wore crazy padded bras my whole life. My size was probably a 34A before - I didn't have a lot of breast tissue. I opted for 300cc, round implants and went under the muscle. I'm one year post-surgery and I now wear a 34C or 32D, which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot put into words how happy I am with them. I finally feel like I have a womanly-shape!
Hope this helps someone else who may be struggling like I was!

I am considering this Dr as well. What was your overall wait time from first consult to actual surgery?

Sorry for the delayed response. At my first consult, he told me he had a cancellation, so I got in within a month of my consult. Otherwise, I think the wait was going to be around 4 months.
It's so helpful to hear from women who are 1 year post op and still happy with their results! It sounds like all your research really paid off. Did you share your surgery with family and friends? Thank you for sharing your story with us on RealSelf!
That's a nice approach as I've read it takes time to be comfortable and confident with your new look. I bet your friends are grateful for your openness!
