I am going to Dr.Au in Raleigh NC. My procedure is tomorrow and gosh!! I am nervous! I have wanted boobs forever but after I had my 2 kids and my boobs basically disappeared, I felt like my want turned into a need. After a while, my husband came up with the money and I am about to have some boobies!! He claims he likes my body, but lets be honest, I look like a 12 year old and he would be more satisfied if I was more curvy (with boobs!). He's been very supportive the whole time and I couldn't thank him enough! My procedure is tomorrow and I will update once I am well.

Day of treatment

I have boobs!!

KoranC
I was told to arrive at 10 am, but I wasn't called back until about 12:15. Pretty disappointing. So I go back, talk to the nurses, change my clothes and then Dr. Au came in. When he came in he seemed a little irritated to begin with and once we began to talk I was sure. During consultation we talked about 280-300cc even tho I wanted bigger. So today I told him I wanted bigger (about 320-350) & he basically began to yell at me. I started crying because I'm sensitive and spending thousands of dollars, I want what I want. He said he would give me what I wanted but don't call him complaining, if anything goes wrong I would be responsible for it and he didn't wanna hear a single word from me.. so.. I decided to go with 300cc. He marked on my boobs, left, nurse came in gave me IV and we went to operating room. I layed down and that's all I remember. I woke up and had boobs! My husband and kids were there (we didn't have a babysitter, we have no family here). I was wheelchaired out and in PAIN!! Whoo!! I've been on meds, and in bed. It hurts to move any type of way. And I'm a stomach sleeper, this is so uncomfortable! I have not seen my actual boobies, but from what I can see, they're not as big as I hoped. I knew I wanted bigger but I didn't want to take responsibility if something crazy went wrong. I do want to say Dr.Au is not a bad person but his "bedside manners" are pretty nonexistent. Shout out to my husband, he has been amazing taking care of me and the girls!! I will post pics in a day or two. Goodnight.

I'm really sad about your experience with your doctor :( i dont get why he would ever be angry at what you want. Even smaller women go bigger than that all the time. I'm sure they will look great when they heal. Did you not have other options for doctors? i told my doctor i did not want 300 as well because i said it looked too small.

So.. it's been 3 days since I've had boobies. The 1st day the pain was excruciating, then I realized most of the pain was being caused by this super small bra my doctor put on me. After I took that off, I felt 10 times better. Anyways I've been doing very well (staying drugged up) but today I haven't taken much meds and I feel great. I do want to say, I'm not happy with my size. I wanted 350cc but my doctor made me believe I'd have all these complications if I went bigger than 300.

That's disappointing for you, that's harsh when you wait so long and go through the whole process not to be happy . I am feeling for you. L,

Im so sorry that your doctor acted that way! It's such an emotional scary thing to go through without someone treating you that way! (((Hugs))) I hope your feeling better and I hear that once they settle and drop and fluff they look larger. I hope you end up loving your results! Wishing you a happy and speedy recovery!
