ORIGINAL POST

So I thought I should start my review of this...

So I thought I should start my review of this whole experience now that my surgery is 13 days away. Today I had my preopp visit to fill out paper work, have my blood drawn, take preopp pictures, and get my prescriptions. I had already met with my doctor before (Dr. Jacob Freiman) in May which is when I put the deposit down on my surgery. By the way I am having my procedure done at coral gables cosmetics. It's true what they say that CGCC works a bit like a nail salon but I really like my doctor so I'm fine with the place. I wanted to see my doctor again today because 450 cc sounds so big to me and I'm worried I'm going to look like a walking boob especially because I'm very short. But I should Dr. Freiman a picture of what I wanted and he reassured me 450 HP CCs are the way to go so I'm trusting him. Here are some before pictures along with wish pictures. Would love to hear some feedback from you ladies.

You have a lot of natural breast tissue and your shoulders look broad, so I think your doc is right in going with 450. They will look gorgeous on you!!

July 23, 2014

Thanks so much for the advice and support! I just get worried when I see pictures like yours and see you got only 350 cc. I think your size looks great and I wouldn't want bigger than that for myself. I'm only 5'1 btw >.

July 23, 2014

* >.

July 24, 2014

Hmmm. You could do 400 or 350 to be safe, but the difference between 350 and even 450 is actually small, I'm telling you.... Mine may look big in pictures naked, but in clothing it's the same as my 225s. Your choice :)

July 24, 2014

Thanks so much for the advice it's definitely made me feel more secure with my doctor's choice. I chose to stick to 450, thanks so much!

July 24, 2014

Perfect. They will look great!! I'm telling you, you will be glad you did!!

July 24, 2014

I'm 22, 5'3 and I weight 115 and I'm getting 325ccs I wanted to get 350ccs HP but my doctor told me it wouldn't give me a natural look because of my small frame. I think I might actually be smaller than you and I'm barely a 34A. I guess it all depends on the your frame. I'm going with what my doctor says. She says it'll take me to a natural C. Good luck! :)

July 24, 2014

Well my doctor says I need this size because my nipples are very low and he says I'm wide although I don't think so lol. But then again he's the one that talks to women all day. Who's your doctor??

July 24, 2014

lol don't worry my nipples are also low, my boobs are a bit saggy :( I say they look like cones. Stephanie stover she's in doral. My bf had removed some extra breast tissue with her and my sister in law also did her BA with the same doctor so I decided to go with her. Are you nervous yet?

July 24, 2014

Well as you can see, I can defenitely relate to you. Mine are also a little saggy and I've always felt they were cone shaped. For some reason I never wanted to do my breast augmentation with a female doctor because they focus a lot on a natural look. I don't want mine to be so natural because my breast tend to be saggy. But from your posts it looks like you really want a natural look so I think what she suggested will fit your body well and look very natural. I get nervous sometimes but I've done so much research and reading that I feel at ease. When are you scheduled for surgery ?

July 24, 2014

It means sense, You should deff go with the larger CCS! And yeah I do want a more of natural lets hope they don't look like cones after lol. I'm scheduled for August 14, and I'm not nervous, it doesn't seem real yet.

July 24, 2014

Once you get your blood work done and you get the instructions from your surgeon it will definitely feel real. But there's nothing to be nervous about, BA is a very common procedure and your doctor has experience so you'll get a great result.

July 24, 2014

I'm sure I'll feel a little nervous the night before it's only normal. I'm sure yours will look great! Did your doctor tell you to take arnica? I heard it helps a lot with the swelling.

July 24, 2014

Make sure you post after your procedure, I want to see how they look, since were both so similar, only difference is that you got luckier cause yours are actually bigger lol I'm excited for you! :)

July 24, 2014

Of course I'm sure I'll be nervous as well. Thanks I'm excited to see how ill end up looking. My doctor didn't tell me about arnica but I've heard it from several ladies on this website so I probably will. I will definitely post pictures throughout my whole journey. I know I'm glad I had some natural breast tissue so they they feel more real. I'm excited as well. You'll get much more excited and anxious as your day approaches lol. These last couple of days feel so long

July 24, 2014

Lol I have a count down on my phone, and 20 days feel like an eternity. You should deff look into the arnica they have it at whole foods, my doctor told me to start it 3 days before.

July 24, 2014

Lol I know, try to distract yourself with other things so time can go by faster. I'm going to look into the arnica. I don't want to be so swollen especially since my parents don't know lol.

July 24, 2014

Omg no way! How are you going to do it with when you come home with new babies? Lol my mom doesn't want me to do it, but I told her I'm doing it and she agreed to take care of me along with my boyfriend lol. Drink pineapple juice too they say it works.

July 24, 2014

Lol well I told her I was going to do it and she says I'm crazy and that it's dangerous, typical mom reaction. But I don't think she took me seriously and she thinks I'm going to do it like waaaay in the future. Plus I don't want to tell her and have all that negative energy over me so I decided I'll surprise her when I get home lol that way I don't need to worry about her freaking out during surgery.

July 24, 2014

What does pineapple juice help with? I heard to drink prune juice Bc the medications make you constipated.

July 24, 2014

The pineapple juice is good for liquid retention my doctor told me I might get a gut from all the liquids traveling too my stomach and yes the medication does make you constipated lol. My mom said the same exact thing and she didn't believe me until I told her that I put my deposit down, and that I ended her to take off work so she could take me the day off the surgery. I haven't really told anyone either for the same reason I don't want any negative energy cause I'm sure there's people out there who get a little jealous lol.

July 24, 2014

Oooh okay I see. I'm adding pineapple juice to my list of things I need to buy then lol. My mom is way too paranoid, she had her breast reduced like ten years ago and she walked out of the operating room three times Bc she was scared so you can imagine. Sometimes it's best not to tell people Bc they do get jealous or they start giving you all this "advice" that you honestly don't need and it can be overwhelming.

July 24, 2014

I agree! I just know it's going to be so worth it. Are you doing silicone or saline? And are you buying the bra from the doctor? I think I'm getting mine at Walmart my doctor said those are fine and much cheaper.

July 25, 2014

I know same here! I am doing silicone I read a lot on it and I decided silicone was the best option for me. What about you? I bought one bra at the doctor'a office just to see the size but I am buying the rest at Walmart.

July 25, 2014

I'm doing silicone as well, saline didn't really convince me.

July 24, 2014

I am 2 weeks post op an went cg cosmetics an Dr Freiman was my surgeon he did an excellent job an I'm 5'6 115 an got 425cc hp saline an ther perfect size you will be very happy with 450cc

July 24, 2014

I really like him and trust him so I've just accepted the 450 cc lol. At what time was your surgery and did it take you a long time to go into the operating room?

July 24, 2014

I am 1 week post op and also got 450cc silicone under muscle :) you will love them!!

July 24, 2014

Omg I'm so glad you posted bc your boobs look so much like mine. Now I feel more at ease with the size. I hope you're recovering well, it looks like you're going to get a beautiful result :) you must be so excited to see the progress

July 25, 2014

Yes we are pretty similar. Mine were a little more deflated than yours I think that happens with kids and breast feeding. You 450 might even look a tad bigger than mine because you have more breast then I did before hand but I honestly think you will LOVE them! I love mine and I'm only a week post op and already wish I would have gone bigger. I'm going to wait until 6mo and then might get a revision if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Lol I am super excited to see my results! You'll have to follow my review to see the change :)

July 25, 2014

Lol I'm actually excited about the size now and hoping they're a little big! I will definitely have to follow your review to see how they drop. Can't wait to have mine and start the recovery :)

July 26, 2014

You will love them!!

July 24, 2014

Good luck on your surgery coming up, you will look AMAZING!!!

July 24, 2014

Thank you! I'll post pics of my results :)

More information about myself...hypothyroidism

NewGirls2014July 25, 2014

So one of the reasons I was nervous about my surgery is because I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and I had to get clearance for surgery. I found out in March of 2013 that I have hypothyroidism and I took treatment for about two months and then I never took anymore medication because I never had any symptoms to begin with. I got retested in march of 2014 and my tsh level came back at a 5.7 when the normal range is between 0.5-4 although preferably 2.5 or lower. I still didn't take any medication and decided to finally go to an endocrinologist because I was having BA surgery. So my doctor said I was perfectly fine to have surgery because my tsh level wasn't higher than a 10 therefore I have subclinical hypothyroidism. She gave me the option of taking medication or not since I have no symptoms and I am not planning on having children any time soon. I chose not to take medication but I asked her to retest me. My tsh was at a 3.69 YAY. So now I'm at least in the normal range. Just wanted to share my experience with that in case anyone has a similar situation.

7 more days!!

NewGirls2014July 29, 2014

So I went to K-Mart today to buy some stuff I needed before the big day. I bought about five sports bras that I'm hoping will fit me (I got 36C). I also bought some zip-up hoodies that were a size bigger so that my parents don't notice while I'm recovering lol. I also decided I'm staying at a hotel the first two nights of my recovery so I can be in peace.

I also have 450 and 475cc HP. You can look at my pics. They are a nice size but not huge at all. And I am very small. Dont know your stats. Best wishes on your upcoming BA!!

July 29, 2014

Hey scaredy cat. I just read your whole review and switching to silicone was the best decision you made, you look amazing! I think your size is perfect and you look amazing.

July 29, 2014
