WORTH IT

My motivation to get breast augmentation done was that I wasn't happy with the way I looked in clothes and I admired woman with 'boob jobs'. My only debate was the size and surgeon. It took me years to decide as I wanted to choose the PERFECT surgeon. Once I saw Dr. Hochstein's work and consulted with him, I knew that I had to travel to Miami to see him!!!!

Hey i'm also traveling from Canada to Miami to have a BA. Diff PS than yours. I have a question. When did you get your stitches out and by who? This has been my only question that I've been kinda freaking out about. I'm only staying for 4 days after so I wont be able to get my PS to take them out.

The stitches don't get removed. They are dissolvable. :)

Yay! they look awesome! I have a consultation with dr hochstein march 7!!! I'm excited! If you don't mind me asking how many CCs did you get? What was your size pre op?.... How much was for augmentation as well? I'm planning for around $5k but not sure until the actual consultation.

Thank you @beautybust!! That's great! It coming up!!!! I was super excited too!! I was an A 34 pre-op (I will try to find a picture before). I got 339CCs. I am very happy with the size! But the size you choose will be based on what your looking for :)

Well they look great! I'm a 32a now... Thinking anywhere from 300-375 cc. Hope it will fit my frame. He's a doctor I want to meet, has a good reputation and awesome work. I heard he doesn't have the best bedside manners tho. I've also ready just a smal handful of negative reviews about his work... But the majority is awesome. I guess I'll have to see myself. I have 2 other consultations to go as well.

@beautybust He is a very kind man! He had a very good bedside manner with me. He's a very busy surgeon and there's a difference between bad bedside manner and a surgeon being busy; yet efficient. He took time to answer A LOT of my questions! He made me feel at ease about my decision to be honest! I also know that there is always an unsatisfied customer/patient in ones career, yet go off your experience and focus on the surgeon that can best give you the desired outcome; which as I am living proof is Dr. Hochstein!! I flew so far to see him and have no regret doing so! I wish you all the best for your upcoming consult and future surgery. Can't wait to hear about it!

Thank you! Luckily I live in Florida but I still have to drive a few hours to get there. We'll see how it goes. I'm so indecisive with the size... Seeing and reading women's stories of boob greed scares me. Some ppl look huge with 300cc and others looks perfect with 375cc. I'm trying to find someone that has same looking pre op as me. Hoping to aim for surgery in beginning of April.

@beautybust I was the exact same believe me. But the doctor will look at you and you then let him know what your thinking for size (bring pics of pics you like) and he will provide you with the sizes he likes for you. You can try them on and really get a feel for the size. I didn't know until the day before as I had flown in a day before. Once you choose the size, you'll know if it was the right one or not :)

Good luck
February 19, 2014

beautiful! he's going to be my surgeon too! what profile did you go? I'm surprised how big they look for only 339 ccs. Are you very tiny? Were your boobs very close together before the operation?

@happygirl33 Thank you :) I have Style 15, Moderate-Plus, Silicone Gel implants. I believe the style is chosen by the surgeon based on your boob shape and desired result. I am 105 lbs, 5'5". They add 50CCs during surgery to compensate for size loss as the implants are put under the muscle. So, technically I have 397CCs. I'm just 5 weeks post-op now so my size will change slightly but it will be very subtle throughout the next while and I actually think my size is perfect! My surgeon went through the nipple. No, they weren't close - I will try and find a before photo. Why do they look too close to you?
February 20, 2014

Oh I love the size! I just ask all these questions because I am trying to gauge how many ccs I should get. I have been thinking 450 but the size of yours look really nice, so I'm starting to wonder if 450 might be too big for me. My breasts are close together so I think that limits how big I can go and it might make me not be able to go very big- that's why I asked if your boobs were naturally close together (like mine). You have awesome cleavage! :-) And I can't believe he went through the nipple- you're scars look incredible!! Do you have any complaints? Do they feel soft yet? I'm really excited to meet Dr H and have this procedure done myself!!! :-)

@happygirl33 oh of course! I understand all the questions! I asked them all too; but to my sister lol! I didn't know about this site before hand but it's a great site! I was worried about my size too - I couldn't seem to decide - I even changed my size the morning of!!!!! I really liked 339CC and once I realized roughly 50 CCs are added (making mine 397CC) that that was the perfect size. He will be able to access how much is needed so that there not too far or too close. I know if you go too small that can make them too far. Ask about the 339CC, but he is amazing that he will be able to look at you and just know!!! Yes, they have softened up. The strips fell off last week and I didn't know what to expect as far as scarring but I think the scar is so minimal and it will continue to minimize. I've been using bio oil! I will add another set of photos next week and so on; I had my data lost of my before photos of the surgery :( so I will continue to see if I have one of my chest somewhere. Give you a better idea of what I started at. Also, no complaints. I'm glad I made the trip to Miami. Only surgeon I would let do my boobs!!! When do you see him??
