I have been a frequent visitor to Real Self for a few years now. I am so grateful I came across this website. I've learned so much and have really enjoyed following everyone's stories :)
I have dreamt of getting a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember! I am so ready to trade my boob envy, for a pair of my own ;)
I am 5'7, weigh 131lbs, and currently wear a size 34A-B bra. I would loooove to be a nice full D-cup.
I just had my 3rd consult on Wednesday with Dr. Zoellner in Pinehurst, NC. The second I walked in I felt extremely comfortable. The whole staff is wonderful, but the patient coordinator Gretchen, was just fabulous!! Dr. Z was great too! I felt no nervousness with him, like I had felt in the previous consultations. He was very personable and actually had a sense of humor. He answered ALL of my questions, and filled me in on all the good and bad.
The consult was $100, but if I schedule with in 6 months that will go towards the cost of the surgery. I have decided on saline implants. I did like the feel of the silicone tester more, but I want to go with the safest route possible. We haven't talked about CC's, we'll go through that at my next appt. I was soo obsessed with CC's before my visit, but after viewing all the before and after photos, I have tried to push it to the back of my mind. A lot of the photos I really liked, the patient had much less cc's then I would've guessed or vise versa.
My surgery cost is $4,700 -discounted $300 since I'm paying cash. I haven't actually set my date yet. I'm planning for the second week in May. My husband is in the Army and we were waiting to hear back if he would be able to take a day off. He just told me a couple hours ago he could as long as he gives plenty of notice and an exact date. So I will call Monday and schedule!! I am soooooo excited to finally be moving forward!!
Before pics and wish pics to come :)

Surgery is booked!
1 step closer!
My surgery date is set for Thursday May, 15th at 7:30 am :) I had to pay $470 (10% of the total cost) to hold the date. I will pay the remaining balance- $4138 at my pre-op May 8th. It feels so amazing to be able to pay in cash and all on my own!
As soon as I hung up the phone with the patient coordinator, butterflies immediately set in! I have never had surgery before. Not even my wisdom teeth. I just cant believe I only have a month and a half left with my little boobies!
I've started putting together a list of items I need to get before the surgery. If you all have any input on that I would greatly appreciate it!
I snapped a couple super quick before photos. I'll add more as time goes on :)

Your surgery day is one day before mine!! I'm excited for you. What all did you start getting for your big day and the recovery process? I want to start preparing for it just not sure what to all get together.

How exciting!! I was hoping for May 16th but they don't do surgeries on Fridays :/
I started making a list, but I think I may have to do some research to find out exactly what I need. I wrote down- pillows, gel ice packs, heating pads, pill box, bendy straws, and zip front/comfy bras. What about you?

So did you decide how many cc's & type of implant you want? My surgery is 4/10 and my stats are close to yours...I'm doing 400 cc's Mentor Moderate Profile Plus silicone gel... I was wanting just a full C & chose 375cc's, then the morning after my pre-op I called and changed it to 400...I stayed away from the high profile because a lot of doctors say they will give a more projected "fake " look...no second thoughts & ready to get this done!!!!

Wow your surgery is right around the corner! Very exciting! I know I'm going with Saline, moderate plus. We haven't discussed the cc's yet. I'm assuming we'll go over that at my pre-op. I've had an idea of somewhere around 400, but I'm trying not to obsess over it too much! I'd like to end up with a full D cup :)
