Hello real world! I am 28, 5'4" and 130-ish pounds, but who's counting! I've been unhappy with the appearance of my breasts since I started developing. I always imagined one day I would have an augmentation, but it wasn't until I started having consultations that I found out I had tuberous breasts. Learning this simultaneously both bummed me out and validated my hang-ups. After thoroughly researching doctors, outcomes, techniques, and opinions I made a consultation with Dr. Kolker. All of the work on his website and reviews here on RealSelf meet or exceed my expectations. In previous consultations with other surgeons it seemed like they just wanted to use big implants and cross fingers that this would reshape my breasts. In contrast, Dr. Kolker advised against large implants. He recommended a combination of small implants, scoring to release constrictions, and a periareolar lift to correct my breast shape. That's great because I want to have awesome boobs without changing my personal style! I will hopefully be a B (I'm like a "sad A" now).
Also I really like the lady who schedules the appointments I think maybe her name is Jill. When I was slagging my weird boobs she reminded me that guys don't care, that we are our own worse judges. I appreciate that she encouraged me rather than reinforce my insecurities.
I know I trust these folks, and that they are worth the wait and cost. I'm calling on Monday to put my deposit down, we will see! I will try to keep this updated. Thanks to all the people who post their experiences, it was really helpful to research here on RealSelf.????

Wow! Good for you for quitting. Was it really hard, or did you use your upcoming surgery as a solid motivation? I have tuberous breasts too and my upcoming surgery makes me more inclined to stick to my pilates classes and lay off on my drinking to some extent. I hope your surgery goes great and your breasts turn out just like you hope!

Thanks! It wasn't that hard to quit. I've quit before... I'm a pretty indifferent smoker:)

Congrats on quitting smoking! Dr. Kolker did my BA in October and he made me quit too...I've been a smoker for 20+ years, so it was tough but now I'm almost 6 months smoke free thanks to him and I have boobs! Ha!
You're definitely in good hands, he's amazing! :!)

Blood test and upcoming pre op
I got my blood test done today after work. The first of many things I am squeamish about in this process!
My pre op is Thursday. Any advice about what to ask or communicate? I don't have any sort of pictures or anything for what I want to look like. I feel like I just want him to do what's prettiest and healthiest. I mean... It's not like a haircut right?

Your surgery is coming up right?! Thinking of you and can't wait to see the results. I recently had a consult with Kolker for the same condition and am trying to decide when to book the surgery date. Would love to hear about your experience!
