31 and Finally Ready! Sacramento, CA

I'm 31 years old, 5'7" about 120 lbs. I wear 32C Victoria's Secret "Very Sexy" bras, but knowing they do vanity sizing, I think I'm actually a B cup. I've hidden under padded push up bras since I was 15 and I've always felt very uncomfortable, vulnerable, and exposed without them if anyone could see how little of a chest I really have. For maybe the last 10 years, I've idly considered getting breast implants, but I've always had reasons not to. Now that I'm 31, financially secure, and in a healthy and supportive relationship, I've decided the time is right. I had some really difficult things happen in the last couple of years and now that I've come through the other side and things are so much better, I feel ready to do this for myself. I fixed my crooked teeth with Invisalign, why not fix my flat chest with breast implants now that I have the means to do it?

I started really doing a lot of research in earnest about two months ago, mostly by reading everything I can get my hands on, from reviews here on RealSelf to medical studies, and talking to friends who have had this procedure done and have had fantastic results. Once I felt that I understood all of the risks, I set out to find a surgeon that I trust to manage and minimize those risks.

I met with Dr. Andrew Kaczynski today in Sacramento, after reading quite a few reviews from his patients and watching all of his videos on YouTube - which I highly recommend if you're considering getting a breast augmentation. His videos are kind of like a short college lecture, replete with whiteboards, teaching the viewer all about breast augmentations, risks, and techniques. I've looked at tons of pictures, of course, and I feel like his pictures are the most consistently excellent, whereas there seems to be more variation in outcomes for other doctors. I studied both art and science in school, as did Dr. Kaczynski, so I really appreciate that he has an artist's eye. He also has something like 30 years of experience and continues to study new techniques to continually improve his patients' safety and results. His staff are also very nice and didn't make me feel pressured at all.

I did go ahead and schedule my procedure, because I felt that confident. My fiancé was with me, and he felt comfortable with everything too. He was definitely protesting when I told him I was considering this a couple months back, but doing research with me and talking to Dr. Kaczynski put him at ease and he's fully on board. I made him watch the YouTube videos with me, haha.

Now I just have to anxiously await my surgery date in August!

So here's what I'm working with now. I'm 5'7", about 125 lbs. I currently wear a 32C super padded Victoria's Secret bra but I know they do vanity sizing, LOL, no way are these C's!

I've been looking at pictures of Olivia Munn and Kaley Cuoco. I don't want it to be obvious that I've gotten implants, so I'm trying to zero in on a realistic target.
