I have been thinking about implants for about 2...
I have been thinking about implants for about 2 years now. I was always a DD cup and small framed. I started losing breast volume after competing in fitness competitions 5 years ago. Running and lifting weights reduced my breasts to a small C cup.
I had a consult in the USA, one here in Ontario, and one through skype in Mexico. The PS in the USA was amazing, but the travel, and after talking with my physician, I could not get a physical/bloodwork done here. In Ontario, we cannot chose our doctors, and mine is difficult. I was then pondering Mexico, where it was half the price, and they do the bloodwork there. However, I was scared if something were to go wrong, I would have to go back.
I ended up chosing here with the one and only PS we have. He is horrible to say the least. I"ve heard he is good at what he does, however, he has absolutely no bedside manner. My first consult was 5 minutes, he did not measure me, he did not tell me what options I had, nothing. The second meeting turned out worse. I asked him to measure me, he did, I asked him where he was placing them, and he told me under the muscle. I then had to ask saline or silicone. He said silicone.
I phoned the office the next day to aske which he ordered. It turns out he ordered textured anatomical. Totally what I DO NOT want in my body.
Ok so third appointment made. He asks what the problem is and I say that why did you choose those for me? He said they are more expensive, and will give you a natural shape. I said well I guess if your putting them upside down they might work, but my breasts are deflated in the upper pole not lower, and the textured might adhere to my skin. He tells me that im not a doctor, but whatever, Im paying for them.
So I'm a little nervous about my surgery. I don't think I am out of line here. I do want to know whats going in my body. I am still not sure on the size but I think they are 339, however he didn't confirm that.
So Im kind of stuck, because, I would love to have gotten my implants from the USA where the PS talked with me for two hours. He was amazing, and went through everything with me. He answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease. If I had gotten them done in the USA, if I needed a second surgery in a couple of years, I would have to pay again, and with travel, can become costly. In my city, if I need a redo in a couple of years, there would be no costs, not even anethetic.
All in all, My surgery is in three weeks, and I"m a little worried about it. Shouldnt I be excited?

April o8, 2013 Ok so an update on my decision,...
April o8, 2013
Ok so an update on my decision, which I am beginning to ponder hourly through out the day. I may be almost obsessed with boobs right now. I find myself looking at every girls chest as they walk by. I am usually thinking "hmm, I wonder if those are real?" I often try to compare, or choose which I would like mine to look like. I start to feel myself getting excited about getting my new boobs. Then, I wonder if I made the right choice. One minute I want to cancel my surgery, the next I'm excited. Is this even normal? I think about the choice of PS I have chosen, and think that maybe I made the wrong decision. That could be because I was practically yelled at in his office when I said, I researched textured implants and didn't think those were right for me. I'm glad I didn't mention that I had a consult in the states. He would have really cancelled my surgery. The truth was, the amazing surgeon in the states agreed that textured wasn't a good choice, and I totally agree. So needless to say, the PS here, says to me " I've cancelled people for researching online"
I do have to say though, my close friend had her implants done by this PS, and they turned out fine. Maybe he just doesn't have social skills, and I should be mindful of that. Or maybe I should just trust him, and his ablilities. Oh who am I kidding? As I say this, I am having visions of lobsided boobs, or huge scars. Geesh, why do I do that to myself? Oh crap! I just can't make up my mind at all. One minute I am excited, and envision these beautiful tahta's, and the next, I have visions of big, awful boobs that get in the way.
OK so I tried to call the PS this morning, because after the whole fiascal of these textured 410 anatomical implants that I didn't want, I just wanted to make sure I was getting the correct ones. I was also given a bunch of sheets with surgery information on it.(Nothing of which was discussed) So I am guessing that was it. That was the last appointment before the boobies go in? It says keep bra on after surgery. Hmm what bra? Do you give me a bra? Do I buy a bra? WTF? I also realized that he didn't give me a size or the profile information. Did he do an estimate on size? I wanted to ask about that too. So I'm really confused here. I am seriously just supposed to show up on APril 30 at 6 am. Well its a good thing the nice PS in the states let me play with his implants. I felt like that PS actually wanted to do the surgery and was excited. So I decided to call, but no one was there, big surprise, so I left a message and left my phone number. Hopefully I will hear from them soon before I chew off my left arm from worrying.

Thank you for all of your input. I wish I had more...
Thank you for all of your input. I wish I had more time to change my mind, and plan for the states, but I don't. No refunds here...lol...I have seen my friends boobs who were done by the same PS, and another girl at work who had a reduction, and her boobs look amazing. So I'm going to go with (he has horrible bedside manner)
I did call the receptionist yesterday to ask about the bra, the price difference, and my pre-op appointment. That went well. I was told that I would only need any type of sports bra that does up in the front. The price difference was changed to 200 cheaper because they were no longer textured 410's and my post op history appointment with my family doctor was good for two days prior to surgery. Another appointment that I dread. Hoping I'm not going to get the funny looks. I still feel embarassed about telling anyone.
I went to Walmart after work, and spent about 160.00 on different things I thought I would need.
1. 4 front closure bras
2. scar cream
3. 4 ice packs
4. heating pad
5. ordered some of the scar tape for incision site
6. vitamin C, multi vitamins
7. tried to get a front zip bra and a body pillow but no luck
8. bendy straws
9. cough candies, and gingerale
Then there was the talk. AHH God! So my 20 year old son works at Walmart, and so I went to get some supplies and pick him up after work. I get the 10% discount which is a bonus when your kid works there. Ok so back to the talk. My son looks in my cart and says "What kind of surgery are you having exactly?" I'm standing there trying to think fast, C"mon, think fast, think really fast. Nothing! I have Nothing! So I say " Well, its my chest" and not all woman just get implants to go bigger you know. I'm older, things happen". I wanted to add, and you sucked the sh** out of them 20 years ago. But I didn't. I asked him if he was ok with that. He said "well thats embarassing." Geesh its not like I'm gonna show his buddies or anything...
He seemed ok with it all. I'm just hoping my little secret won't be all over facebook. Yikers!
