WORTH IT$6,200
I've been wanting to get an augmentation for a few years, but now seems like a better time than ever. Then plan was to have the surgery immediately after graduating, but my car died and a replacement ended up being the priority. I don't have the cash to pay for it now, but would it make sense to get it done soon and have it financed? I've just graduated as an engineer and, once working, won't be able to take a lot of time off to recover. But I also won't be as worried about paying off a cosmetic surgery bill. It also helps that I'm in a transition point in life and won't have to explain the change to new coworkers.
I've had a consultation with a surgeon who I really like (he's also willing to let a general surgeon remove my fibroadenoma simultaneously) and have most of the details of my augmentation decided. Can anyone who financed their surgery with a loan give me feedback on whether it was a good decision or not? Or advice from anyone who got/considered an augmentation in their 20's? I would be looking to get the surgery in the next month or two.. Thanks!!

Hello! I'm a 24 year old who just financed (bank loan) a breast lift and I can say that I'm very glad that I did. I wanted to have it done now and begin the healing process, which continues for the next couple of years. I couldn't imagine waiting years to save up the money while being unhappy in my skin.
I graduated college in 2013 and have a very stable job that doesn't require much movement/activity, so it was the perfect time. I'm sure you'll find a job easily as an engineer, but do you have any income right now? Make sure you can pay the loan in the worst case scenario (ex. If you can't find a job immediately). If so, I say you should do it! I had surgery on June 6, 2016 and I'm soooo happy with my results. Goodluck!

I should add: I went back to work after one week, but wished I had two. So I'd reccomend doing it before you get the new job. Also, be sure you have someone to take care of you after surgery. I really needed my mom the first few days after :)

Is two weeks enough time?
emmy65March 17, 2017
Since my last post, I've been working full time, paying off my student loans and living at home to save for my augmentation. I had planned to wait a few years until I'm out of debt to go through with the procedure. However, I will be transitioning to a different company with completely new coworkers in a few weeks, so I think this could be the perfect window to get it done! Even more excitingly, Dr. Brett Garber, who operates in Vorhees, NJ and was my first choice based on the consultations I had, has an opening on March 31st. I have no hesitations about getting the augmentation, but if I had the operation Friday, would it be reasonable to begin a new office job 10 days later? Will the price change because there's only a two week period between scheduling and surgery? I am also tight on money and because of the 2017 price increase, may have to switch to saline if I get it done now. Any advice or comments would be hugely appreciated!

SURGERY SCHEDULED!! 575cc
emmy65March 21, 2017
I'm going to add pictures, but the March 31st date is official now! Because I have broad shoulders and a muscular frame, we decided to go with 575-600cc (leaning towards 575). I know that sounds big, but the sizers looked very natural and I haven't heard many people say they wish they'd gone smaller! I'll post some additional before pictures and wish pics this week. I can't wait to review my full experience on RealSelf! I've read close to 100 to prepare me for my procedure so I'm hoping to provide comfort to someone who's still unsure ????
I'm 21 and I'm doing my final year, I'm also considering augmentation especially during the transformation phase. I am still indecisive of whether I should do it now or after kids. What do you think?
I hope someone can answer your questions.
