So I've been looking into getting this procedure...
$5,082
So I've been looking into getting this procedure done for a few years now. I've actually had a couple of consultations before with different doctors but they were rude and rushing me. So that was a red flag. I almost went through with one of them but a sudden move came and I needed the money for that which was really upsetting because I was so close. Now looking back I'm glad that I didn't go through with it because I would have gone way too big. I found Dr. Ortega on here after seeing his results on his patients I was like yesssss. My breasts don't have any upper pole fullness.. Or lower. They make me feel really self conscious and I'm always in a push up bra which doesn't even help because honestly like what am I pushing up. I don't even like being topless in front of my boyfriend, even though he doesn't care but I do. I've waited for this for sooo long. Right now I'm in the process of setting everything up with Ana, my care coordinator via email since I work full time and I'm just too tired to call once I get home. Just have to pay the deposit to lock in my date which I will do next weekend. So excited! Oh I forgot to mention I live in NY and will be traveling to FL. Most likely alone, unless bf joins me. Will upload before pictures and wish pics tomorrow. :)

Before pictures ????
Some before shots. Just no fullness and I definitely need a lift.I got quoted 5k for silicone, but I'm not sure whether I want saline or silicone! I used to be so set on silicone but I like the thought saline now. Is there really much of a difference? Hmmmmm. Well I have a week to decide because I'll be making the deposit next weekend!

Does Dr. Ortega offer the Ideal Implant? Ideal implant is what I have, it is saline, but has multiple "Chambers" So it is structured and feels like silicon. A quick Google or YouTube search will give you more info. But I love it. It is the feeling of Silicon with the safety of saline.. It is a LITTLE more expensive (maybe 1,000 more) but totally worth it. Especially if you count in all the MRIs you will have to get if you do go the route of Silicone ;)
There are several YouTube videos that show you the differences between the three so it might be good info for you either way :D

That sounds great! I'd have to look into it but I'm seriously torn between silicone and saline. Oh man, who knew this would be so tough to decide. Thanks for that, though! I'm definitely going to check.

Hahaha well that's what makes the ideal implant so great! It took the best of both :) but if your PS doesn't offer them, then I really only suggest saline if you have enough breast tissue... Cause they don't have a very natural feel to them (kind of like a water balloon) but if you have enough breast tissue to cover the implant, I've felt ones that feel great!!!
Most PS will show you saline and silicon implants at the consultation and let you feel them and try them on. I know your surgery is out of state, but, did you feel the difference in any of your other consultations?

Did you get the quote from His website ? Because on there saline are 2800 silicone 3300 everything included no hidden cost or is it higher because of the lift?

Higher because the lift ! I was quoted by th care coordinator but I'm pretty sure it's 5k for everyone for a lift but not sure

hi, best wishes to you for a successful surgery! have you decided what size and type implant you were going with?
Also, respond to your question above, I highly recommend silicone over saline. I personally think the silicone is a better choice. it feels more natural and it doesn't weigh as much as the saline. this is something to consider giving your combining it with a breast lift; the less weight on those incisions the better....
you may also want to post your question or search results in the " ask the doctors" section here for more opinions on the matter.

Weird question. Did you ask your boyfriend his opinion on you getting ba/bl? And if you did and he thought you should did you ask him for any opinion on size or shape?
Reason I ask is because I asked my husband and all he says is whatever you want. When I push him futher he gets ticked off. I have also asked if he thought I should have a mommy make over and he loses it. He won't say anything either way other than you used to have a great body then he says no I said you have a good body. He drives me nuts. Having a mommy makeover is pricey and could be a health risk. Not to mention all the extra scars depending on what you do. I really need his honest imput.
I wondering how much other partners contribute, or is he normal? Lol.

Thank you! Is it sad I don't even know what size I am now? I'm pretty sure I'm a (deflated) B cup. I'd like a full D! Thanks! Those are pretty valid points. I do like the idea of saline being a bit safer but I really have no idea what I'm going to do yet!
November 14, 2016
I actually did! At the end of the day I'm doing this for myself and would have done this regardless. He said something along the line of "I don't think you need one, but do whatever makes you happy" he's so sweet. I showed him wish pics and he told me which ones he liked. Which I also liked! I think as long as you are happy you should choose what you like and be super safe and make sure your doc is certified. Good luck :)
