Hello, I am a 29 year old mother of 2. Currently I am a sad 34A, some bras I barely even fill. For as long as I could remember I wanted a BA but either the timing wasn't right or financially I just couldn't afford it, Jersey is just so expensive!
Well, last August my father passed away from pancreatic cancer, he was diagnosed on July 14 and died August 14. It was super aggressive! I was devastated!! On his death bed he told me he wished he could've gotten me the BA but financially he just couldn't. He knew that was something I always wanted and wanted me to be happy, so that was the moment I knew I had to get the surgery!
So I booked a consultation with a PS from Paramus, he was very nice and informative but something just didn't feel right, I didn't feel any connection. He pretty much talked about the implant itself the entire time then had me try in sizers. I left bummed but didn't want to give up.
So I did more research on RealSelf, I'm obsessed with this site lol, and I came across Dr. Tutela. At first glance he looked young and didn't have much experience but I decided to read some reviews, which wasn't many. All the reviews were super positive but many reviewers didn't post pics so it didn't help much either. Upon reading his bio, I read that he was a third generation surgeon and his father also passed away from pancreatic cancer, I know it sounds weird but I felt maybe this was a sign, but I wanted to do some more research. That's when I came across his special, $5k BA all inclusive!! I almost had a heart attack! For starters that's super cheap for Jersey and that's exactly what I had save for the surgery, that's when I was convinced that was a sign from my dad, again I know it sounds weird but I like to believe it =)
So I stopped what I was doing and made the consultation. I spoke to Wadia, she was sweet and gave me the next day appt. When I met with Doctor Tutela, first impression was he looked super young but at the same time I felt comfortable. Let me tell you ladies he was so nice and cared for what my goals were and asked me questions and even took some pictures.
Now it was time for him to take my measurements which was a lot of them. He looked at his chart and with my measurements he said HP 385-415 cc's would be perfect for my frame and still look natural. He had me try on some sizers and asked me how I was feeling. I ended up picking 415 cc but felt it might be too big but he reassured me that during surgery he would bring in some sizers and chose the best one for my body and what I wanted but promised to keep them natural. At that point I was thinking "here just take all my money" lol that's how impressed and comfortable I was. I knew right there and then he was my surgeon, so I booked the surgery for Aug 29 and I can't wait!!!

Good luck with your surgery! Your in good hands. He did my boobs last Friday!! I would absolutely do it again. It was easy and he is super sweet and talented. What surgeon gives you their cell? And he answers ASAP if you have a concern. The best!! You can check my profile if you want I have pictures!

Hey! I am constantly on your profile! Ur boobs look amazing! But I have a question, he recommended HP but I'm still unsure if it will look natural like the mod + does...I trust his decision but what do u think?

Awh thank you! I would absolutely listen to him, he takes so many measurements and he is probably suggesting HP because your chest may be narrow and the Mod + might be to close together on you with the size implant you want. I'm sure you saw some boobs on here that are way too close together and do not look good. The Size you are going with isn't all that big so I think that you will get a natural look with HP just don't go any bigger than 415cc. He is all about a natural look and I kind of pushed him too put bigger than he thought on me because I wanted a little more than natural!! And I still think mine are going to end up looking natural, I did have a good amount of breast tissue to begin with.

Hi Rain287, I wanted to send you a message as soon as I read that your father passed away from pancreatic cancer. I regret that this happened to him and to you. He sounds like a great father. It moved me that he told you that he had wanted to pay for your BA while he was on his deathbed; he loved you a lot. None of what you're saying sounds crazy. Why couldn't it be a sign from your father? I am so happy for you that you're finally getting what you want. Your Realself friend, Froggi

Ok so I know I just booked the surgery but I couldn't wait to shop for the new "twins" I brought both M and L because not sure what I will fit into. If anyone could give me any recommendations for sports bra right after surgery would be great :)

Large was not tight enough on mine there needs to be a good amount of compression I wouldn't do large. I got VS sports bras i step into them and pull them up they make some front close ones but you can't have any metal or hooks touching your skin at all. I'm probably about a 32 DDD (Victoria secret sizing) and I'm currently wearing a 36 C sports bra with the straps as tighten as they go. The 34 C would probably be better with more compression but couldn't pull it over my butt and it's not front close. LOL!!

Lol lucky you! Can't wait to have that feeling :) where can I find some good front zipper or hook bras? I only have one that I got from my cousin. Also do I need a couple of them or a regular sports bra will be fine?

I'm just wearing regular sports bras and I got a zip front one one victoria secret. They have the hook front online target and online Walmart. The Walmart one Dr. Tutela didn't like the material of he said it was too stretchy.

Oh no! Lol a lot of the bras I have aren't front zipper, so I'm praying I can wear the regular sports bras soon, even if I have to step in them and pull it up
