Hey Ladies, So I am a 34 year old, married,...
$5,200
Hey Ladies,
So I am a 34 year old, married, physically active woman without kids. I've never really had any self-image issues and I can't say that I've never hated my breasts. In fact, I used to LOVE my breasts!!! When I was 19, they were a perfect, perky 34C. I even felt proud that when I stated dating my husband (now together for 15 years) he bragged about my great natural breasts to his best friend...(word got back to me).
So here I am, 15 years later, and while my body weight hasn't fluctuated horribly since college, my breasts have lost their volume. I am currently 5'6", 130lbs. on any given day, and my boobs look great in a heavily padded bra. That's my problem. I always wear push-up bras. I feel good in my clothes, most days. Other times I find it challenging to find the perfect bra to accent my outfit. I'm always searching for new ways to boost this, tape that, get some "umpf" while leaving my back exposed.
Swimsuits are a challenge. I'm always searching for the right one... you know the one. Just enough padding to give you a little boost- without being too big that when you lay down the top stands up on it's own, revealing your now flattened pancakes. UGH!
So, all that aside, about 4 years ago I started thinking about getting a breast augmentation. Not a lot of serious thoughts, just a little dabbling. I joke about my [RS bleep] (sport boobs) with my girlfriends at the gym and laugh when I KT tape my underboobs to make sure I get a little lift. But I think I'm over it. I've already spoken to 3 surgeons about the procedure, and have a 4th consultation tomorrow. I feel pretty good about the whole process... but here's my dilemma.
Have any of you gotten a BA and regretted it? Have you just absolutely felt like you have rockets or aliens, or rocketships carrying aliens on your chest? OR, have you ABSOLUTELY LOVED the results and wouldn't change a thing?
Thoughts are swirling in my head and I'm getting nervous and anxious about this. My husband supports my decision either way and loves me the way I am... although I'm sure he'd like to hear me stop downgrading my [RS bleep]!

Which other doctors did you go visit? I am in Orlando and went to see Dr. Brian Joseph (but couldn't get a consultation with Dr. Fiala for another 3 months!)

Gross, Shoukas, and Clark.
All with their merit. Clark's nurse was especially helpful. I know at least one person who has been to each. All recommended. I also know people who have been to Fiala and they've all been very happy too.

Did dr. Fiala price yours $5,200 with the silicone? I have my consultation with him on April 28th. Have been curious on pricing!

Surgery booked... and now we wait
So, I finished my consultations... and just like I and just like I do with everything in life- I researched everything till I was blue in the face, exhausted all my options, got answers to every question possible, and went with my original choice.
Security deposit paid, and booked surgery for April 11th. I would have liked sooner because the waiting is going to kill me! But, I am already obligated to my clients. I have still not totally decided on size. I want to keep the girls sporty, perky, and as natural as possible. I am hovering around the Mentor 300cc moderates. I think I am going to bring more bras and shirts to the pre-op visit 2 weeks prior to surgery before I make up my mind entirely.

Pre-op
So, I had my pre-op this morning and re-tried some boobies with various shirts of mine. I'm going with the Mentor moderate plus, smooth silicone, 300's. I was wavering between that and the moderate 275's (which is the smallest possible for my chest width). I want a natural, sporty body. But hey, I'm paying for new breasts, I might as well get a little something out of it!
Surgery is in two weeks!
I was told to buy a front closure sports bra for my post-op visit... Found some great ones on sale at Wal-Mart from "simply basic" for $5 and $2 (regularly they're only like $7)!! Just wanted to throw that out there because it's not worth spending over $30 on something you'll only wear for a few weeks and then never again.
