Second Consultation!
$9,000
I had my second consultation with Dr. Parson on Monday. It went great!
I brought my boyfriend this time so he could ask any questions he had and we could clarify sizing, what type of implant that will be used, etc. Dr. Parson answered every single question I had, even if it was a small silly question. He had incredible patience the whole time and he made me feel like I was the most important patient he had. He had come straight from a surgery to my consultation and didn't make me feel rushed even though I'm sure he had so much more to do. It was all ears on me, and I loved it!
Another thing that caught me off guard (in a really good way!) with Dr. Parson was when my boyfriend brought up what his policy is for mistakes, like if something goes wrong and I need something changed what would it cost me, etc. And he immediately said, you know I do a lot of breast surgeries. I'm confident in my abilities to understand what my patients want and how to correctly do it on their body. And if something did go wrong, whether it was my fault, or even if she simply changes her mind about the size, I will fix it, no questions asked, with no cost to you. I honor that offer for 2 years after the procedure date so even if she has her implants for a year and decides they're too small, I will happily adjust it for her, no problem. After he explained all of this I was like whaaaaaaaat. That's awesome. He wouldn't put such a bold offer out there if he was completely confident that there wouldn't be any issues. It just reassured me that much more that I chose the right doctor for me!!
After my long list of questions we began talking about sizes again. Last time we didn't discuss the implant type, brand, texture, profile, or anything along those lines. We just used sizers to choose the cc's. This time I made sure to ask him about the pros and cons to the different options I just listed. And after talking about it and explaining again the look I'm going for, Dr. Parson and I easily agreed on what would look best. 400cc, smooth round, moderate plus profile. And I believe the brand he uses is Allergan? I could be wrong. But I'm not particular about brand, I figure they're all pretty much the same.
In the pictures I have on the 400cc sizers. I'm confident with how they fit my frame and proportions. I'm so excited!! I will be booking my surgery date for early January within the week! Yay!

Second Thoughts?
Nothing new has really happened since my last update but I'm doubting my decision to go through with the surgery.. I haven't committed to anything yet so I would still have an out if that's what I decided.
Here's my dilemma--usually I feel like my boobs are the smallest, ugliest things to exist. They're pointy, my nipples are very low and point in opposite directions, they have no volume, I don't even have a breast fold. They just kind of go straight out from my chest. I hate it. But there are these rare occasions where I'm having a decent boob day and for some reason they look fuller to me. The shape doesn't look so bad. And I think, they look fine. Maybe I'm just overreacting in wanting to get an augmentation?
I really don't want to have to go through the healing process. I don't want to be in pain. I don't want to not let my boyfriend touch me while I'm healing. And once I'm healed what if it's not the same (intimacy)? I know that may sound shallow but it is genuinely one of my biggest concerns. I don't want to be limited in what I can do, in any way.
I brought all of this up to my boyfriend last night and I asked him, am I being irrational? I have more breast volume than a lot of girls, so why does it bother me so much? Is this something I should go through with or should I forget it? He told me, honestly this is something you'll always be insecure about. I love your boobs, theres nothing wrong with them in my eyes. But I know how you feel about them. And it's always going to be this nagging thought in the back of your mind making you unhappy. So if you really think it won't be worth it, if you're still doubting your choice, don't do it. Wait. But if you are sure that you want to do it, take advantage of your position financially and with all of the support you have and just do it. Knowing you I think this is really what you want. But no matter what you choose you have my support.
I cried.
He calmed me down so much. And I know I can't expect him or anyone else to make this decision for me. But I am so lucky to have his understanding love and support through all of this.
So I'm really just needing support and input from you ladies. Did any of you have the same thoughts before surgery? Was it really worth it? I don't want to regret what I choose.

Hi there! I know how you feel. I had my op 10 days ago and got cold feet a few days before the surgery, even had the same talk with my boyfriend and everything. The truth is, if you chose a good surgeon, your boobs will most likely look infinitely better than they did before. My boobs looked pretty similar to yours, which is why I'm commenting on your post. My Dr. told me I had a good amount of breast tissue but it was a bit saggy, but that it could be easily corrected with a periareolar incision to lift the nipple a little bit. Since he was going to cut half of my nipple I told him to go ahead and make my areola smaller too, which he did. As for the implants he suggested 350 cc HP's to give me more fullness in the upper pole, which I was kind of lacking. My boobs are pretty big but I LOVE them. I'm so glad I went through it! Recovery was really not that bad, I had drains for 3 days post op and that was kind of the worst part, but other than that I was back to work 4 days op, and now 10 days after the surgery I feel great! I haven't posted pictures for privacy reasons but if you want to talk more, I can show you what mine look like now! Hope you reach a decision that makes you happy soon! xx

Thank you so much for that! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has had these kinds of thoughts about it. Do you mind sharing your body stats with me? And if you feel comfortable a before and after picture? My ps has recommended 350cc-400cc and if we're similar I'd love to see how they look on you! If you're not comfortable sharing that though I completely understand.

Sure! I'm 26 years old, no kids, 5'5'', 138 lbs, bra size pre op ranged from small C to DD from weight fluctuations. I don't mind sharing pictures but I'm not sure how to get them to you through here, maybe give me your email address? I don't want to post a review with pictures because I'm scared someone will recognize me! lol let me know if you're still interested.

Everything your boyfriend said is exactly right. Cold feet is something I think everyone gets at some point when making a decision like this. This is a BIG decision. It's normal. You just have to sit and think about what is going through your mind when you start doubting whether you should go through with this decision or not. Are you having cold feet out of fear? Is it because you think your breasts really don't look that bad? That's the kind of stuff you have to think through. I know there have been times that I have started to doubt if I want to go through with my BA because I think they look okay. Then I go and put on a shirt and remember that they make me feel like a 12 year old boy. To me I would rather feel like a woman. That to me is more important. My advice to you is really think about what you're thinking when you start to have second thoughts and compare those thoughts to the reasons you are wanting the surgery. Think about which is more important to you. Don't make any sudden decisions. Sit on it for a while until you are 100% sure with the decision you make.

Wow everyone is so supportive. Thank you for your advice!! It's put a new perspective on it for me. And I'll for sure keep up on your journey, I'm excited to see how things work out for you!
October 20, 2015
My PS has a special where if a friend get a BA within 30 of you, you both get $800 off. One of my best friends wanted to get hers done too and I got a text today saying she scheduled her surgery! So now I am extremely excited and everything is becoming real!

Hi I don't normally go on these sites but can't get to sleep and just browsing. I don't know how old you are, you didn't say but my advice would be to wait. From reading your texts you have doubts so to me if its not clear cut in your mind then you're not 100% sure. After my experience of breast imlants i would say please please wait. Ask yourself exactly how you think it will make you feel better. Sounds like you have a lovely boyfriend who loves you for who you are. I know self insecurities are awful, I have many but really regret having implants, but understand its hard because no matter how lovely someone says you are and tries to reassure you, it doesnt help how yoy feel inside. You say you have good days, I would try and focus on those. I am not sure how these sites work. I have never posted on one before but can really relate to your story. Hopefully you will reply. I would really like to speak to you. Take care
