Picturesss. And I told my mum about the surgery today
Thought I’d post some before photos. I’m having a rough day. I come from a very conservative family and my told my mum about the surgery today because I think she has a right to know. She wasn’t pleased at all. She’s the type of person to avoid anything that comes with risks and now she’s scared me too. I feel like I’ve covered all possible risks and have plans in place in case things do go wrong but now she’s scared me a little. I’m still gonna go along with the surgery but it’s not a good feeling knowing that she doesn’t support me and if complications occur, I’m on my own.
Hi guys! This might be a long one lol So it's at...

So it's at least 4 months to my surgery but my boyfriend is sick of hearing about boobs so I thought I'd change my audience haha. Some quick stats:
Age: 23
Height: 162cm
Weight: 52-54kg (I fluctuate quite often)
Current bra size: 34A
BWD: 11cm (L), 13cm (R)
I've always wanted big boobs. When the Pussycat dolls came out with When I Grow up, it was my anthem for months. My mum did tell me though that she never had boobs until she had me so I didn't really have high hopes tbh. I have come to accept my boobs, however now that I have the opportunity to change one of the things I'm most insecure about, I think, why not? Since June 2017, I've seen 5 surgeons and by last week I had narrowed my options down to two surgeons:
Surgeon A: Recommended by coworkers. However I'd only seen the results of revisions he'd done and not first time BA's. I saw him twice, once in august where he said I could probably fit 375cc implants and still look natural. I don't remember what profile he suggested the first time or what he measured my bwd as. In the second consultation which was last Thursday, I mentioned that I thought the 375cc's were too big and had too much projection. I had also spent the night before researching projections and had mentally concluded that a mod+ profile would be the best option for me. Without prompting, he suggested 350cc mod+ mentor implants, dual plane position. I showed him some wish pics and results I didn't care for and he seemed confident he could give me my desired result. I was happy with that and called his assistant to book a surgery date right after the consultation. I was still booked to see two more surgeons though, one the next day even.
Surgeon B: I went into this consultation certain that I'd already made my decision and I was only doing this so I wouldn't have to pay the appointment cancellation fee but I left confused about my decision. This doctor I found through The Hospital Group. He's a breast reconstructive surgeon with the NHS and has tons of experience fixing complicated cases. I couldn't find any of his before and afters online but I assume that's because he mostly works with the NHS. He was very friendly, walked out to the waiting room to greet me before inviting me into his office. I had seen another surgeon with THG the week before and he didn't even look at me when I entered his office so this was a welcome change. He quickly read through my file which included information on the other THG doctor's recommendations and started the consultation explaining the importance of respecting the breast tissue when performing an augmentation. He did the standard bwd measurements, I think he's the only one to say my right breast is 13cm but I got my boyfriend to measure me when I got home and he agreed. What impressed me though is that he also measured the stretching ability of my skin. I haven't had any other surgeon do that. He recommended 255cc mod overs (TSM Allergan). He said he prefers to go over the muscle where there is enough breast tissue to do so because he doesn't like cutting through such important muscles as the pectoralis if it can be avoided. I think i asked like 20 times if it would look natural and he assured me it would since we were going with a smaller, moderate profile implant. I asked if he would look at some wish pics I had, he said no because every one is different and realistically, I might not look like the picture I showed him.
I think I'm leaning more toward surgeon B, but what do you girls think? I've checked the stats for both implants mentioned, they have pretty much the same amount of projection but the 255cc's are 11.25cm in diameter while the 350cc are 12.5cm in diameter. I'll post screenshots of the size charts here. I'm happy with the shorter recovery time with overs but I personally don't think I have enough breast tissue for them to look natural and I really want a natural look.
