Ive been lurking this site for probably a year...

Ive been lurking this site for probably a year now, getting the courage to write something.
I live in Alberta CA and am looking to go see Dr. Hochstein in Miami. Ive been contacting his office and am supposed to be getting a phone consult with him soon. Have any other ladies travelled for their BA and how was it.
Ive been wanting this since I can remember. Stuffing my bras as a child just dreaming about having boobs.
Im 5"9, thin. about 125-130 lbs. Im so confused on size . If anyone else has my stats please let me know. I wanna be a full D or DD but am scared of being to big. And of course im scared of being to small. It seems almost every story I read everyone wishes they went bigger. I spoke with another doctor and he was suggesting 374-450 HP unders. Oh and def silicone. Hp freaks me out cause I still want cleavage. And 450cc looks huge on some girls and small on others and im so scared to be to small and realize I wasted all this money.... ughhh.. the decisions we male.
Also Im in a long term relationship and my bf really doesnt want me to do this. I told him its for me and he sort of understands but hes making it about him saying well why do you want this now like something must have happened that you want this. And jeez they just dont get it, Its about ME!!! Has anyone else gone through this??
I know after it will be fine and im sure he will love them but I dont want to hurt our relationship in any way. Hes coming around though i got him to look at before and after photos with me, so thats a step forward.
I also havent told my family as Im to scared of their reactions.. joy.

Any information from people who have similar situations would be greatly appreciated. This can be pretty stressful.

Hi! I'm also travelling from Canada to Miami for a BA with Dr.H! It helps to have a list of questions readily available, that way you don't forget anything that you may have wanted to ask. I know what you mean about the whole boyfriend situation. He also doesn't think I should go through with it but we gals should know it is only out of their concern and the fact that they love us just the way we are! Mine was worried I wanted to just be able to flaunt it and gain attention- that really isn't the case for me and I've assured him time and time again that they are for me. He does support me but I know how you feel. Just keep reminding yourself that he loves you and that is why he questions you wanting the procedure. I'm extremely terrified of what my parents will say. They wouldn't let me travel with my boyfriend- I am only 19, however my mom will be accompanying me. She just has no idea what I'm going to be doing in Miami...haha. I do want to sit her down, it's just a matter of when. I'm here if you need any extra support, I know how distressing the whole process can be. I'm still stressing about placing my deposit since I'm sure the cost quoted to me was in USD...and being in Canada, my deposit will be made in CAD. Still waiting on a response from the office. I know I must be patient but I want to go through with the surgery in October!

Yes that is exactly what my boyfriend said. "guys give girls with big boobs more attention." Id prefer the procedure and have none of the attention. Its for me and me only, and unfortunately only we can understand that. Do you mind me asking what your quote was? I still havent gotten that call yet. Regardless im sure its way cheaper than it is sphere. And yes telling my mom is my biggest fear, I plan on letting her tell my dad. PLEASE let me know how it goes, I need all the advice in the parent department. And I wish you the best of luck in telling her. Cheers :)

We have a lot in common. Although my location says Atlanta that is just where my family is and where I travelled to. I actually live in canada and Dr.H was on my top choice list as well. We actually have similar stats although your weight is more what I was last year. As well my long term bf was not for it. Pm me if you have any questions!
September 4, 2014
Thanks you so much, Its nice to se how many cc's look good on someone roughly my size. You look fantastic. Cheers :)

I travelled from Canada (Vancouver, BC) to Miami to have surgery by Dr. H!!! I am so happy with my results and wouldn't have gone to another surgeon. He will go over size with you and you will have the opportunity to discuss size etc when you consult with him over the phone as well as at your pre-op appointment a day before surgery. For your reference, my implants are 397CCs moderate plus profile through the nipple (his technique) and under the muscle. I wish you all the best in your travels and future surgery! xx

Your turned out BEAUTIFUL. I def have some of your photos in my wish folder. Makes me all the more confident on Dr.H. How was the flight back? im dreading that. And how long did you stay in Miami for?
User Avatar
September 4, 2014
The flight back was completely fine!! That didn't worry me and it ended up not being an issue. So don't worry about that! I flew out early on Sunday morning, had my consult that Monday, had my surgery on the Tuesday (the surgery went perfectly -- I was in no pain at all and was up and about a few hours later)! I went for a follow up appt that Thursday and flew home around 2PM that same day! I was on a budget, but I am going back for my rhinoplasty in late December and I am planning on staying longer this time to enjoy Miami!
September 4, 2014
Oh that doesnt sound to bad at all. Thanks so much :)

And also, how did the phone consultations work, I filled out the online form and then a lady just said that he would call me... no idea when this will happen. Kinda sucks just waiting

The process of the phone consult is that the out-of-office coordinator, Jennifer, (such an amazing person and will be the one walking you through the process) will call you and if you are available to talk to the doctor she will transfer you through to him. The office is quite busy so don't fret - he'll call!!! When did you fill the form out?
September 4, 2014
I filled it out on monday
User Avatar
September 4, 2014
Well Monday was a holiday and usually they will try to arrange the call hopefully within a week of the form being filled out. It'll be worth the wait!

UPDATED FROM Northerngirl90

Had consultation, this is getting real

Northerngirl90
So I had my consultation today with dr.H. It was really short. I panicked and couldn't remember any of the questions I had wanted to ask. It was still good and I still want him to do it. I told him I wanted to be a full D cup and he suggested 500-550cc HP. I feel like that's really big and not sure if I'll want to go that big. But we shall see when I go try on the sizers. It's all getting really real just waiting for my email of my quote and all that jazz. Kinda freaking out and I haven't even booked it yet. Having doubts. I know I'll be so happy when I do it. But it's just such a big deal. It's hard..

Hey girl! Congrats on your decision! I traveled from NJ to Miami. I was going to see Dr. H but changed to a different doctor. Miami is definitely the place to go!! Don't be nervous, this is the exciting part!!
September 11, 2014
I look forward to hearing more about your process, as I'm also from Canada and would like to go to Leonard Hochstein :)
September 11, 2014
I'll be sure to post. I plan on booking my surgery next week for October. I'm really excited
September 11, 2014
Congratulations thats great news!
September 11, 2014
I had a consultation with him in April/May of this year although I don't plan on getting them done until probably Feb 2015. I panicked at the consultation, too! But actually getting to try on the sizers and see how they look on your body helps a lot. We look pretty similar breast shape wise. I'm 5'8 and 118 lbs and I like the 339 cc's (which prior to trying on sizers is what he said would fit my chest width almost exactly) so he suggested 397's. I thought that seemed huge but you lose cc's under the muscle. And being taller you can carry off a larger size implant. Obviously he's experienced enough to know what will get you to where you want to be so I'd refer to his opinion and what you think looks good on your physique. I think you'll feel better after your in person consultation! Keep us posted!

Hey ! I'm kind of going through the same here... Like 4 months ago I explained to my man and father of my son :) that I wanted to do this... He was like only pornstar do this... And I was like... Whatever... I think and you said they just don't understand it. 1 week ago I talked to him again and he was more relaxed about it, I think I just had to digest it ;-). About my family, well I'm not planning on saying anything to them... I wouldn't like to go to big anyways and as I'm usually wearing padded bras, I suppose they won't even notice... ! Btw I'm considering Dr Hochstein as well... ! Good luck with everything !
