Right now I'm searching for the right surgeon. 3 consults scheduled within the next month and another in February. I have been lurking on here, researching in most of my free time and looking at so many before and afters. What did we do pre- internet? I also made a list of questions to ask the PS and played with the rice sizer boobies. I have been thinking about a BA for 8+ years, but these past few months I have really committed to actually doing it. Ideally I'd like to schedule surgery early April since hubby with have time off to take care of me. Just need to find the right PS.

good luck on a PS, have you by any chance seen Dr. POUSTI'S website? He is an amazing surgeon, hopefully the consults go well.

Was not nearly as difficult as I thought and I did not have some one home with me. My friends came in the eve the first two night and brought dinner. Did need my daughter to help with getting me meds the first night.... Was well worth it and IM so happy I decided to go with it.

My doctor was Dr. Hedden. He specializes in out of state patients. He is low cost and high quality. You can check out my review of him in my profile. If you have any questions, ask me. I caught the Amtrak to Birmingham and rode the Greyhound back home. I stayed in Birmingham a week at an extended stay hotel.

My best general advice to patients seeking the “right surgeon” is to start with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best wishes with your decision-making and for a successful outcome with the planned breast augmentation.

Dr. Christa Clark

Had a great consult in Folsom with Dr. Clark and her technician, Sam. She answered all my questions, took measurements and then we tried on sizers (photos). Made them a tad uneven, but you get the idea. My friend and I first laughed at them on because it's such a change to see me with boobs. Unsure on my desired size, and don't want to be too big, but unsure how big is "too big." I have a few more consults, but Dr. Clark seems like an excellent choice. She said I could email her any more questions I come up with. She also has many before and after photos and they all look really good.

consults, sizes and stats

Impatiently waiting for my next two consults this coming week and next week. While I'm really happy with the first consult I do want to get a few additional opinions before choosing the surgeon. I have a feeling it will be a tough choice.
In the mean time I've been obsessing over size.
My current stats
28 years old
No kids
5'5"
125lbs
32B in VS, but I think really A cup
33 bust
28 rib cage
26.5 waist
36.5 hips

Aiming for a 35 bust as that seems to be standard dress measurement for my waist and hips.

I've also been looking at breast REDUCTION reviews on real self. This has been extremely helpful because I was falling into the boobie greed and "go big or go home." But I don't want to be the gal with big boobs. I want to be the gal with proportional boobs and no upper back problems.

Will discuss sizes at my next two consults and report back.

How did your other consults go? Are they also in the Folsom area or Sacramento?

Sorry I haven't been on I while. In addition to Dr. Clark I had a consults with Dr. Hackert and Dr. Yamahata (the surgeon I choose). All 3 were good and I'd feel comfortable with any of them. I just liked Dr. Yamahata the best
