Well... I am in the early stages of my BA journey. After giving birth to my daughter 2 years ago, my body is finally starting to look the way it did before I had my baby. The stretch marks aren't going away but my weight is closer to where I want it to bed. Right now I am happy but my breast are driving me nuts! I was a 32D after I stopped breast feeding and now I am an empty 34C. I am 5'5 and I weigh 116 lbs.
Two weeks ago a I went to a consultation to find out what I can do about my breast. I had a vision of what I wanted and the amount of CCs I could get. I walked into my consultation confident and ready to schedule my surgery, but that all changed after speaking with my PS. My PS was very informative and specific about what my options were and what I needed to do in order to achieve the look that I wanted. I thought I could get like 350CC but my PS said that 250CC would probably be best for my body. Not only that, but I needed a lift as well. I already knew that I needed a lift but I was so disappointed about the fact that my breast tissue couldn't support the size that I wanted. After my appointment I decided that i would wait to schedule my surgery and get myself more informed about what I really wanted.
The pics in my profile show both my breast how they currently are and what I wish they could look like.
Please feel free to post advice or tips to help me out on this crazy journey of mine. Your comments are welcomed.

Sometimes getting another opinion can be helpful either to give a different perspective or to reinforce what you've already been told- something that can really boost confidence. Most questions about breast surgery don't necessarily yield right or wrong answers- there are often several choices and each has advantages and disadvantages. If you're looking for additional information then I'd be happy to give you my perspective...Dr. Newman

I had a phone consult with Dr. Hochstein too i really liked him. Could you tell how much he charged you? He quoted me 7800 for lift with implants. Thanks and good luck i really think you will be in good hands with him.

I did implanta with lift 6 months ago and I can say it was the best thing I could've done for myself. Everyone I ask shares the same opinion. I'm 5'2" and 112 lbs, I was a 32A and after 250 CC I'm a 32C and very happy. I think what your PS said makes sense based on your pics and info about weight posted. You have a small frame and 350C wouldn't look natural. Just my 2 cents. As for the surgery, recovery was good, no major pain, the only "pain" was movement restriction and no gym for 6 weeks. Other than that, I'm a happy girl :)

Went back to PS to discuss more options.

Today I went back to my PS and felt much better than I did during my initial visit. We did a simulation and discussed my options during the 2nd consultation. I finally started to understand what he was saying to me. Part of me is still stuck on getting bigger breast, but the other part of me wants me to be smart about the whole thing.
After my visit I decided that I wanted to get implants that were more suitable for my body frame and that I shouldn't be so focused on the ccs. I think that the most important part is for me to make my expectations clear so that my PS can create the look that I want. I am going to continue to look for "wish boobs" so that I can show my PS exactly what I want.
In the meantime, I will just write down questions and continue to stay in touch with my PS until the big day arrives.

Miami!

After doing further research, I realized that I was being really narrow with my search. The doctor's I met in NY were amazing but I realized I was limiting myself. I talked to my friend and they brought up the idea of me checking out Miami for the augmentation. Why didn't I think of that? Everyone in Miami looks hot and in all my times visiting Miami, I have never seen a bad looking bad.
I am currently doing research on the top docs in Miami and feel as though I am making smart move. I already have a condo to stay at and friends that are willing tholepin me out after I get my procedure. I think it sounds like a win win for me!
Lets see how this thing goes.

Check Dr Leonard Roudner in Miami. He's popular and great, not cheap. I did mine with him.
Thanks for joining this community and starting your journey here. I'm sure others will weigh in, but I suggest researching photos and reviews, specifically for members with similar frames to yours and finding out what they had done. I would also suggest more doctor consultations so you can get a broad variety of opinions. Here's a list of questions to ask at those consults that might be helpful.
