Deflated 38Cs from 38DD after weight loss and babies. I want to fix the shape that I have been so self-conscious of since high school. Hoping to get to a nice round DDD size, now that I finally have my hubby on board with my breast augmentation (he doesn't feel as though I need it). I've got large hips, so it'll be great to have the boobs to match my hourglass that i have been working so hard on. I have a bit of assymetry, with boarderline droop on one side. I really don't want a lift. My first consultation was absolutely awful, the PS was incredibly rude, condescending, and actually made me feel more self-conscious than I did walking in (which I didn't think was possible). He was negative about my 20 lb weight loss in 2 months (switched from no working out, to a very strict fitness/clean eating regimen, and FINALLY getting my thyroid under control) saying "easy off, easy on". (There was NOTHING "easy" about my weight loss) He interrupted me, dismissed my questions because he said it was pointless talking to me till i was finished losing weight. I actually had to ask to see implants and sizers, when he again said he didn't see the point in showing me. Thank goodness i did because i was able to find out that he won't even place over 350cc's in anyone bc he "won't spend 2 and a half hours on a BA...it's too much work". What?! He made it abundantly clear that he refused to break a sweat for any BA. I was able to see that i want at least 650cc based on the sizers i tried on after he left the room...After some major inner battles stemming from the very negative consultation, I have another consult in 4 days with Dr. Zoellner. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes as well as what I've heard from others about him. If it goes smoothly, I will set my surgery for next month! I'm mostly afraid of caring for my 1 year old and 3 year old post and how soon I can go back to working out :/

You are beautiful. I would really really caution against going so big. I had large implants as a young woman and I am telling you very quickly you go from looking like Barbie to frosty the snow woman. Also the surgery to reduce them is difficult - I just had it! The risk of tissue death, encapsulation etc is higher when you go up that big. Ultimately though it's your body, just go to the best of the best docs. In our area I reccomend Paul Watterson at Charlotte plastic surgery - good luck gorgeous :)

Thank you so much :) I have a large chest base and am worried that if I go much smaller I will not get the fullness to compliment my hips /large frame. When I put on the 650 sizers I saw a difference, but nothing very noticeable. I looked like I was just filling up my bombshell bra, just didn't need the padding. I've got my consultation in 2 days, curious to see what he suggests based on wish pics I posted earlier. I will have to post some actual before pics so you see what I mean. I can post it at the same time I take pics with different sizers. But like you mentioned, the encapsulation and necrosis are risks I want to avoid :/

Sorry Lovelylisa for your problems but the times are passed of frosties. Through total submuscular implantation technic they gonna stay high forever regardless of their size with using meshes to avoid bottoming out situations. Of course putting large implants subglandular it's a calling for problems on that u're right. Good luck on your recovery!

Had my consultation with Dr Zoellner 2 days ago, and it went amazing! The staff is incredible and made me feel so comfortable. Gretchen and Dr Z seem to truly care about the patients and their desires. It went so well that I paid the down payment and set the official date! Preop is Sept 18th, and surgery day is Sept 28th :D I am getting a Bilateral breast augmentation with constriction release. We decided on Mentor MemoryShape implants, dual plain. He is special ordering an array in the upwards of 600cc, and I may get 2 different sizers to even out my slight asymmetry. I just need to add some before pics on here. I'm so excited, I can't hardly stand it!

Dr. Z and Gretchen were awesome. I am 11 days from my TT and I'm super excited. I have waited for this procedure for years! I see that you were recommend to him by others. Do you know if anyone who had a TT? I would like to ask some questions.

I had an acquaintance way back when that did, and she looked amazing...but that was years ago. I can tell you that a friend of mine that had a previous BA from Dr. Z told me she has every intention on going back to him for a TT bc he was so great before. My mother is actually getting surgery clearance to get a TT as well. Only 11 more days huh? That is wonderful! I am excited for you and wish you the best of luck :) I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Oh now I'm very excited! He's going to be doing mine soon!! I'm going bigger. Im now a 34c with the implants now. Going for a full D. I'm 108 and am 5'3 and 37 with three kids. So for me this will probably be a huge change but I'm super excited and excited to know Dr. Zoellner does great work!

I got "the letter" from my PS. Less than a month till my pre-op! Woo hoo!
Congratulations on the weight loss especially since it involves exercise and clean eating. Good for you...keep up the great work! Feel free to write a separate "Doctor Consult Review" on the first doctor you saw. Glad you are forging forward with another consult. Follow your gut and please keep us posted!
