I am a mature male looking for this and more to be done. I just wonder what the general public (realSelf) members think of this. I myself can't wait and have always as long as I can remember wanted this. I am just in the consultation stage but am going to go through the transformation. Please give me your real thoughts on my decision.

I can't say I can relate to your situation but if this is what you truly need to feel like "you" then I wish you the best! I would only suggest that you do you homework and research both sides of the coin....I know I sure wish I had done research before I got my implants. But, now that I have gotten mine removed I am SO happy....they just were never, "me" . Good luck to you and take good care of yourself ! :]

UPDATED FROM Karieann

Just and update on my expected breast augmentation.

Karieann
Just a short time and I mean short before my consultation. I don't know what to expect and my stomach is full of butterflys. My mind can't stop thinking about this first step in my new life. I just can't wait but scared to death in some ways. Everyone please pull for me and hope all goes well in the consultation and down the road.

I think it's great that you have the courage to be who you were ment to be! I think the first consultation can be overwhelming. Take notes and if you are conflicted between a couple of sizes have them show you the difference in one of their little cups that show you the FCC's. You will soon realize it may not be that big of a difference. Good luck at the PS office and with your personal journey! :)

Glad you left me a message! I'm all excited by myself though about this change plus a few others. I just went to my 1st consultation Saturday and I was so excited you can't even imagine. The nurse wanted me in 600cc and the doctor wanted me in 700cc. He asked if I wan'ted some cleavage and told the nurse I would be 800 and they would have to order some in. Am I afraid thats I should have stayed at 600 or 700 yes. I haven't seen the 800 in my bra but he said it would make the package for me. And I do want others to see I have nice breast but don't want to much. Please comment back and tell me what you think. I'm so excited and really don't have someone to share this with. Can't get ii off my mind. I just can't wait till my day come and the healing to see what I actually ended up with. Being a man changing over is quite an ordeal in itself with family and friends.But I truely thin this is about being what I want and my real self. :)

I hate that you feel sort of alone in this. This is YOUR time and you should have all the support you should and more around you. I think I would trust your PS. If you have shown them the pics and communicated honestly about what you want to look like with and without cloths then I think all should be fine. Trying on sizers is so much fun! The one thing I didn't ask mime was the profile he planned to use - crazy right? So when I went to my preop I was prepared to stand my ground and want high profile. When I asked though she said oh, he's using ultra high profile. I thought omg, I going to be able to eat off them they will be so high up! But after some more discussion and research I am OK with the profile. So don't forget to find that out! I will be keeping up with your updates, can't wait to hear what's next :)

I'll get back to you for sure. Its nice to have someone on the other end that really cares. My hardest thing to get past is I will lose my job in this type work. But really doesn't matter I'm going to do it and build my future the best I can.

I hate that too...so scary to start that over too. But I think in order for us to be who we are supposed to be in life we have to be honest and happy with ourselves and everything else will follow.
September 30, 2013
Yes I don't want to just suprise my family one day, I should call them all together and announce what I plan to do and let the chips fall where they fall. If the truely love me they will except me as they do now. If not I just loose some. I am going to do this because I have wanted to be female since 8 years old.

Natrelle has a kit you can order on line with a bra and sizers. It's not terribly expensive and could help you choose a Size you like by wearing them for a while =)

Just wondering, do you live 24/7 as a woman? If yes, how long ago?
UPDATED FROM Karieann

Consultation

Karieann
Had my consultation 3 days ago and it was exciting and a learning experience. H actually wanted a 700cc implant and asked me if I wanted cleavage and changed when I said moderate cleavage to 800cc. The nurse had me try 600cc and I was actually happy with the look. Anyway Dr. went with 800 but I'm having changing thoughts about that. I have another consultation with another Dr. next week and again very excited but curios what size he thinks I should have. Later updates to come but it will happen and I want the best for my self. I don't think going huge is a good thing for my goals in life. Just want to live as a female the rest of my life happy! More to come.

I'm so happy for you that you've begun this amazing journey to become who you truly feel you are. Thanks for being open and sharing your story. And thank you for all your kind words of encouragement!

You may consider bringing in photos of what you like/don't like because the difference between cleavage and moderate cleavage may mean something different to your PS. Good luck with your upcoming consults!

Keep the suggestions coming, I take note of everything. Thanks and look forward to more. Think it is goo that I'm getting a second opinion.
