WORTH IT$12,400
I had my first child when I was 15 and instead of growing breast I grew milk. I went from 121 pounds to 180 lbs. I had two more children since and I am currently 5'8, 160 pounds, breastless and full of stretch marks (as you can see in the pictures). I have wanted my firm stomach back for quite some time and I really wish I had nice breast so I've decided to finally do something about it.
I hoped to find some reviews on this site about local doctors but I wasn't able to, so I am going to write one for the next girl in my area. I've decided to use Dr. Zewert. Originally, I wanted to go with a surgeon who did "gummy bear" implants as they were the closest to natural that I have read about and they seem pretty safe as they hold their shape even when cut in half so how could they leak? After further research I found out that silicone implants aren't really necessary if you have a skilled surgeon. Great skill can turn saline implants into very natural looking and feeling breast as well. When I called to schedule my consolation with Dr. Zewert I learned that silicone implants require regular MRI's to check for micro leaks. I personally don't like spending money on medical tests so I decided a highly trained, skilled surgeon who does saline implants would be best for me. The best thing about saline, they are about 2 grand cheaper than the gummy bear implants so I think I'll be happy.
This post is pretty long so I will start a new one about the consultation. But the attached photo's show why I need the makeover.

The consolation and ponderances
Momsey232June 4, 2015
At the consultation I met with a nurse who went over a bunch of information with me. What I wanted to have done, how I planned to have it done, what size I was thinking, the recovery time, and things to consider. I got to “try on” implants. She brought some silicone implants in of various sizes, I originally wanted to go no bigger than a C cup, not that I really knew what that meant. As I tried on the different implants it turned out that I fell into the bigger is better category. I liked the 450 CC implant the most. The doctor came in when I was through and took a look, he pointed out that my nipples are close to my arm pits, they kind of look toward my elbows. The doctor said with my nipple placement I would require a bigger implant to give any kind of cleavage, he said perhaps a 465 CC implant filled to 480 which he said would be about a DD. I found that shocking but with my frame he thinks it would have a great result. Dr. Zewert also said that it's a shame that my stretch marks go up so high, even with a tummy tuck I will still have a lot of stretch marks. I don't really mind to much because I have a lot of stretch marks in my hip/pelvic area anyway.
After talking about the procedures I was sent to the scheduler (Phyllis), she was amazing. She said it would cost $12,400. The price would last for 6 months as the cost is all inclusive and the surgery center fee's are subject to increase so the price would have to increase if I went beyond the 6 months. Phyllis gave me a written quote and told me that I needed to put half down to schedule the appointment and I could pay the rest at my pre-op appointment which is two weeks before the procedure.
I went home, scheduled the time off work, secured funding for the make over and scheduled the appointment. I look forward to having it done on September 15. Now I just have a few tiny concerns I guess, 1. do I have enough breast tissue for 480 CC's of saline implants to be placed under the muscle and still look natural and not snow globe like? Well I guess that is my only real concern. If I do, then no worries, if not then I guess my other thoughts about how to remedy the situation come into play. Oh yeah I do have one more ponderance, should I be attempting to lose as much weight as possible before the surgery for a better result? or would I have a more dramatic reveal if I stayed 15 lbs heavier than I like to be?

Ponderances relieved
Momsey232June 5, 2015
I was browsing Dr. Zewert's website last and I had all my apprehensions relieved. Dr. Zewer has video's on his web site about some procedures, in one video a patient said she wanted to have size D breast but Dr. Zewert told her for her frame it wouldn't look natural so she got C's instead. She had a great result and was very happy with it. So, if Dr. Zewert thinks I can pull off a DD, then DD is for me. I was also looking at his before and after pictures and everyone looks great. There are no snow globe breast so I ready to go. I just have to do the work to get the time off, and then September 15th here I come. I just sent my final payment in and I am super excited.
