31 Years Old, 3 Children, Much Needed Augmentation to Restore Volume - Salisbury, MD
ORIGINAL POST
I have been researching having this done for...
$6,399
I have been researching having this done for several months now and have finally come up with the courage to post and share since many reviews have been extremely helpful to me. I am 30 years old, about 5'10" and 155lbs. I have a consultation booked for March 28th. I am hoping I dont need a lift, as when i had volume they were fine. After breastfeeding all 3 of my little ones, I am left with an empty space in the top portion of my bra and significant stretch marks. My pre-pregnancy size was 36-B and during pregnancy/breastfeeding, they were 36-38 C/D. After my 3rd child, they never restored to their original shape and I ended up with a lot of loose skin. I am not wanting to go too big but I would like to be a full C/small D. I am taller and it seems to me that taller women can go a little bigger but Im a little concerned with my breasts being spaced too far apart, im finding it hard to find someone similar to compare to. I also was going to bring in a bra to the consult to help with sizing (its a 36D from Aerie), is this is a good idea? I have a friend who got 500cc saline and she tells me she wishes she went bigger, she also started a little smaller than me. I am thinking silicone would be preference because of my loose skin. The doctor I am going to also does the keller funnel technique, does anyone know anything about this? Thanks for your help!

Some do charge for a consult. I only consulted with docs who offered free consultations. The doc I chose to do my ba is about 45 mins from my home but he was worth the drive. If you have a smart phone. You can also show your wish boobs from your phone to the docs you consult with. I gotta tell you that I felt much more relieved after the consults because I had a better understanding of what to expect. Of course, this site too was a Godsend for me. I found the docs on here for my free consults.

My doctor used the keller funnel technique and I'm really glad he did! If you research it, it basically decreases your chances of infection by minimizing your exposure to bacteria (bacteria on your skin, minimizes contact with implant and foreign objects, etc). It also makes your incision site very tiny! Usually silicone implants are prefilled and require a wider incision site... Mine are only about 1" each. I also think it speaks highly of your doctor that he can do the Keller funnel technique because not a lot of doctors use it (that I researched).
I didn't have much loose skin to work with and went with 375 mod plus. I'm now a 32DD/34D (was a 34A/B before). They look very natural, I can make them less obvious (for work)... sometimes I do wish they were larger but I was so obsessed with a modest increase, I originally wanted 300-325 ccs! So glad I got talked into the 375s.
