Finally Getting Boobies - Little Rock, AR

Went for my first surgery consult today with Dr....
WORTH IT$5,300
Went for my first surgery consult today with Dr. Sloan. From the moment I walked in the staff was amazing. They let me try on different implants, answered all my questions, and left me feeling well prepared for surgery. I'm currently MAYBE a 32A. We decided on 350cc high profile silicone implants. I came home and by the time I got home I decided to call Monday and schedule my appointment for November.

Further Update (With Pictures)
Now that I'm finally not on my phone I can make a real update/review. I will also be adding pictures of what I am hoping for in results and what I am currently. The reason I wanted implants to begin with is I'm as flat chested as a kid. I want to feel feminine. I'm naturally thin so curves just aren't going to happen by some miracle. The implant surgery seemed like my best option. I finally got my dream job (with the salary) that allows me to get this surgery. Currently I'm 5'8" and 115 lbs. I do take depression medication so that is the only concern they had due to platelet count possibly being low but they said the risk wasn't great. They also said I was a great candidate for the surgery because I'm very even on both sides and my skin is great apparently. Who knew. Either way it made me feel good they thought my results would be to my expectations. Saline was decided against due to my frame and thin skin due to rippling. I tried on silicone from 300cc-400cc. The 350cc was the best. We are going with high profile due to my narrow chest others would have the armpit boobs effect.
My cost breakdown goes like this:
Fees from the practice-$2,525
Facility fee-$800
Implants themselves-$1,000
Anesthesia Fee-$550.
For a grand total of $5,875 plus a $500 discount so $5,375 plus medications afterwards.
I find this very reasonable for our area. I am calling on Monday to try and schedule it for either October 18 or November 15 on a Friday since I am off work on Fridays anyways. How long did it take for other people to go back to work? I plan on going back Monday since I work from my desk and do administration type work. My other curiosity what size sports/bralette do I need to buy? I am estimated to be a full 32C. Anyone? I'll update when I know my surgery date and when I do my pre-op. I love this site and everyones reviews have really helped me in this.

Welcome! I lived in West Little Rock for a few years and have family close to there. I'm in Kentucky now. I'm fairly new to this site but it is amazing. I'm hoping for a surgery date of either early Nov or early Dec. I'll be following your journey!

Well!!! Good for you!! Congrats on the job and your decision. I waited 47 years for mine. I'm 5'6 145 lbs and I went 700cc bilaterally, mentor saline round smooth, moderate profile and I love love love my new boobs!! It's the absolute BEST thing I have ever done for myself!! I went for my consult with Dr. Glunk on a Friday and I was scheduled for surgery for the following Friday. Crazy huh? But it was actually good. I didn't have to wait and wait and stress. I had never had ANY type of surgery before so I was real nervous. My doc and I clicked from the get go. And what really sold me was the fact that almost every time I called the office, the doc made sure he always picked up the phone. So he and i had a super relationship before we even met. It was wonderful and SO nothing to be scared of. Surgery was a breeze and recovery was not bad at all!! Rest before a lot, rest after a lot and TAKE your pain meds! About the sports bra question. First make sue what the doc does. I was never allowed to wear anything but an ace bandage and then into any bra I wanted. They are all different but I would guess a 32 or 34 D. You most likely be swollen and bigger than a C cup. It's so hard to tell by Cc's. I turned out a 36ddd. If you are bigger than anticipated I have a feeling you will be happy about it. Most women are!! Any questions, just ask. Good luck!! And let us know when the surgery date is. Take a date as soon as possible. It's better that way, I think........

Thanks for telling me about the swelling to a larger size! I didn't even factor that in at all. I'm sure I would be happier if I ended up bigger. I sure wouldn't complain. I took the quickest date possible and I'm so excited. Any preparations advice to have on hand for after surgery?? I'm glad you had a great experience with your doctor. You look great! :)

Surgey Date
Called to schedule my pre-op and surgery. My pre-op is this Friday October 11 and surgery is Friday October 18. I'm so glad I took the earlier date that way I can't stress myself out over it. I'm so excited though. Finally doing something for myself feels good. Now just to prepare next week by cleaning house, grocery shopping and all that before hand. The only part I'm nervous about is anesthesia because I've never had surgery before. My boyfriend tells me surgery will be over so quick it won't seem like an hour. Also I have to function at work that next Monday but at least I just sit at a desk and do administration type work. No physical effort except going to my desk. Thank god I don't have to speak at any meetings that week on pain meds!

How EXCITING!!!!!!! I also hope to not have long of a wait. Would looooove Nov 4. I'm already going nuts. lol

I hope you don't have to wait either. I feel it is so beneficial. Less time to worry about things. I'm so excited :)

Where will your incision be? Only a weekend to recuperate is kinda pushing it, even for a desk job, I think. Will you have to drive?
October 8, 2013
Under the boob type incision. And no my boyfriend will take me. I've discussed it with my doctor and his team and they all think I can do it. They know what my job entails and also have had women go back to work as quick as me with no problem.
October 8, 2013
It can be done, if you wete going with underarm incision more recovery would be necessary...you should be fine.
