$9,000
Since I first went through puberty, I've always had severe (and I mean severe) breast asymmetry. I first started researching breast implants when I was 13 (I'm 24 now). My left is a deflated C/D, my right is a nice, perky A. In a bra, I actually look relatively normal. As many of you can probably relate to, I HATE bathing suit season. Finding tops that even somewhat camouflage my situation is a struggle. And for once, I'd like to be "intimate" without a damn bra!
After years and years of analyzing doctors online, I have decided to go with Dr. Eisenberg in Philadelphia for my surgery. My consultation isn't until November, but I'm almost positive that I will be getting a unilateral lift and bilateral augmentation. I know its premature to settle on a PS before I've even met him, but I have a feeling about this guy. And, the fact that he only does breast surgeries doesn't hurt!
I'm so incredibly excited to finally feel like there's a solution in sight. I don't expect to have the surgery and feel like my breasts are perfect, but I certainly can't imagine feeling any worse about them than I do now. I want to be "breast friends" with my girls! ;)
Like I said, my consultation isn't until November, and my surgery will be right before the holidays. Let the waiting begin!
Thanks for reading :)

Getting the ball rolling sooner than expected!
So, I decided to move my surgery from Christmas break to Thanksgiving break. I can't wait that long!
Dr. Eisenberg's staff has been more than accommodating and has moved my consultation (originally scheduled for Nov. 14th) to next week! They had to move things around to squeeze me in - they're wonderful! I'm SO EXCITED!
Looking forward to finding out whether or not I need a unilateral lift along with my augmentation. We'll see!

Congratulations on setting your surgery date! November 22nd will be here before you know it! Here are some important questions to ask during your doctor consult. Will you have someone to help you during your recovery? I am very excited for you to have symmetrical breasts! Keep us posted and definitely let us know how the consult goes!

As a former asymmetrical sister, you are going to be SO glad you did this! It cracked me up that my PS said I can't believe you waited this long to do this (I'm 48). Which I could've taken as an insult, I guess, like "good grief how have you lived with those things" HA. I think he just meant because I told him I've wanted to do this "ever since I grew them". Basically they haven't been my TOP priority in life, as I don't think they should be in anyone's, but my life is so settled in now and feel like I can do it and want to while I still look halfway decent. So, you're smart and fortunate to be able to address the asymmetry at a younger age. Good luck, it will be here before you know it.

Thanks for commenting! I still live at home and have been saving for this for over a year, so I figured why not do it when I have minimal expenses! My ultimate goal was to have the surgery before I got married...who knows when that will be! But thank you for the well wishes! I can't wait to look at myself in the mirror and not hate my breasts anymore. I hope your recovery continues in a smooth path!

Getting a little bummed out :(
Hi guys! So the more research I do, the more I realize I don't think I can get away with not getting a lift on my larger side. :( It's not even the scars or the recovery that bother me, it's the money! Is that shallow? I know it will be 100% worth it once I get the results I want, it just feels a little crappy. I guess I won't know anything for sure until Tuesday though.
Sorry - just needed to vent a little bit!

If the Dr. recommends lift on one side, go with it! It will be worth it! I felt the same way but now i can see that it was indeed necessary to achieve symmetry.
