I had a good consult with Dr. Quigley last week &...
WORTH IT$5,000
I had a good consult with Dr. Quigley last week & know a couple of people who have used her that Love their results! I looked at another PS profile online & liked what I saw so I scheduled another consult with Dr. Goshorn (same group). I just wanted to get a well rounded opinion from 2 PS to be more confident in who I choose (Both have great reputations & feed back from pt's)! So far Dr. Quigley said that she'd like to place a 350cc filled to 375cc to achieve a full C. Because she said my chest cavity was wide enough to do so and gain a lil extra cleavage. However, I'm 5'4" 132lbs & when she gave me a sports bra & the 350cc sizers I felt like I looked top heavy & she wants to add 25cc's more to those! Of course my husband thought that sounded great! LOL So I don't know if it's just because I am going from nothing (34A to a C ) that it looks to odd or too obvious to me or what!? Did any of you feel like that? I just want to look natural, but want to be big enough that it will be worth the pain/money just not too big & obvious! LOL

**Date is set & I am SOOO Excited to finally have boobies!**
Last week Dr. Quigley was very professional and kind (per my previous review). I just felt a little overwhelmed although I have done plenty of research for yrs I felt sooo uncertain & sorta questioned the choice to do this... if that makes sense! She was Great, I just didn't feel comfortable like maybe it just went too quick for me to think of questions or let the gravity of it all soak in etc. idk! Then, I had my 2nd consult with Dr. Goshorn this week and was Blown away by him & his staff! He really took his time with us and literally drew my husband & I a picture and explained every possible aspect of the procedure! They also welcomed my hubby in right off the bat & engaged him as well as myself which I greatly appreciated, after all this is Our decision and I needed his opinion/support with my choice of PS! Dr.Goshorn & his staff were so personable and the consult was sooo comforting & thorough to the point he said "I know you've probably heard all of this a hundred times, but I will feel better knowing I personally went over it with you!" He went the extra mile and made us both feel extremely confident in choosing him as my PS (my husband even said so immediately after)! He seemed to be SPOT ON with the vision I have for myself. I had my wish pics in tow & they even asked me to bring them with me to surgery for him to see again just before my BA! He also wants to go under the muscle, inframammary incision, using Saline 325-350 overfilled to 350-375cc's ,however he will play with the size during my surgery & after setting me up he will pick the size that looks the most natural on me that leaves enough space (1-2 fingers he said) so I have softer boobies! =) He also wants me to have a mammogram prior to surgery which I have set for tomorrow morning (having a digital mammo)! Also I must say that the Gummy Bear implants felt AWESOME & were really tempting, but I am concerned to use silicone even though it's cohesive etc... I just felt that saline was a safer route, just my opinion and have read that once implants are placed under the muscle there is only a slight difference if any in the softness, which I asked and he confirmed so SALINE it is!!! He did say that softness depends mostly on how much breast tissue you have & the size of the implant you choose combined with maintaining the post op massaging exercises... That's what makes all the difference with the softness. Anyways, I have my Awesome PS picked, surgery scheduled for next week and a few post op items such as picking up my Rx the day prior to surgery so it's on hand, Chocolate Ex-Lax, front zip compression bra, Mederma Advanced for scars, Bio Oil for stretch marks/scars. cocoa butter lotion for dryness etc. & my Wonderful Hubby took off work to take care of me & the "New Girls" next week! ;) Just wish I had longer than 5 days before I have to return to work! :/ I know I'll have to be SUPER careful... Wish me luck Ladies! Here's to wishing you gals the Best during you'r journey as well! =)

Good luck! II'm thinking about a 350 cc for me too! But I'll find out next week for consultations :)

My PS will either overfill a 325 to 350cc/375cc or overfill a 350 to 375cc, but will determine that during Surgery! Apparently there's merely millimeters difference between a 325 & 350 implant and I may even end up getting more cc's in one breast than the other! It's all about the Symmetry! Lol Enjoy you'r consult and ask loads of questions! ;)

I think that's what going to happen to me since my breasts are asymmetrical from breast feeding. Thank you! I'm so excited!!

You're Welcome! Sorry my responses are so delayed. I'm still learning how to navigate this page. I'm not used to looking all around a page to see if I have new comments... I'm used to a red notification or something that I have a new comment etc on social media! LOL

What made you decide to go with saline? I ask because I am considering saline but worried about hiding the implant as I have very little breast tissue. I also like the firmness of them and the fact that the incision is smaller. So excited to you. I will be following you so that I can learn for your experience.

I must say that the Gummy Bear implants felt AWESOME & were really tempting, but I am concerned to use silicone even though it's cohesive etc... I just felt that saline was a safer route since if it ruptures you'll know instantly & saline is natural in the body so it's safe is a rupture occurs! Also Mentor will replace all types of their implants for life (you have warranty options too within 45 days post op where they will also cover the cost of having another surgery etc). However, if a silicone aka Gummy Bear implant ruptures you won't know since it's cohesive. Therefore they ask you to have an MRI done every few yrs to check for ruptures & that's the ONLY way they can be detected! :/ EXPENSIVE way to check!!! I have read that once implants are placed under the muscle there is only a slight difference if any in the softness, which I asked and he confirmed so SALINE it is!!! My PS did say that softness depends mostly on how much breast tissue you have & the size of the implant you choose combined with maintaining the post op massaging exercises... That's what makes all the difference with the softness. Also if you were meaning that you're worried about ripples well you can get rippling with BOTH saline/silicone implants Especially if you don't have much breast tissue to start, however going under the muscle will help hide both implants. Also overfilling the saline implant reduces the chance of rippling. Last but not least add all of that up with the fact that Saline cost half the price of Silicone & I was was sold on saline! Sooo in my opinion the Saline is the way for me because I want to know if I have a rupture so I can have it replaced asap ya know! Like I said the silicone feels awesome in you'r hand though & if it is they way you wanna go I don't blame ya a bit. To each their own ya know, heck I still ponder them, but my cons outweigh the pros for me! LOL

** Had a Digital Mammogram Done today!**
I'm 34 and this was my first mammogram because my PS was adamant that I have one due to my age/family history and Wheeew let me tell ya they get every lil inch of your breast squished it there! Ouch... Lol just when I thought I could tolerate the pain the tech walked around the machine and turned the [RS bleep] 2 more times! Ahhhhhh lol There were 2angles shot of ea breast that took a painful 30seconds ea! Lol I acted Cool with my poker face on (no being a wuss for this cause I know there's a lot worse coming next week)!!! lol She was nice though and explained to me how the process will go after my implants are placed! Drilled me about not being chicken to have more mammos in the future for fear of rupturing the implant cause it will be a lot less pressure with implants and explained how they work around the implant! So No worries!!! :) After my mammo I ran to Walmart for a few more items to prep for post op. I got a pretty long (3M type) of cold/ice pack in the cheaper "equate" brand (so no wet frozen veggie bags), Extra Strength Tylenol (missing my advil and aleeve), a bedrest back support pillow, palmers cocoa butter lotion for dryness from stretching etc, & found a 2pk of fairly cute front snap "fruit of the loom" sports bras for post op!!! I'll post pre op pics of me wearing them to compare to me in them post op! :)
