I have been on line and researching the BA procedures. I have never been happy with my breast and since having three children they did not stay. I have my first consultation next Wed and have a list full of questions. I'm not sure if saline is best or silicone. If I have to get them replaced after 10 years or not. If I'm going to be in massive pain or not but most importantly a reputable Doctor that is able to perform a great surgery. I live in San Antonio TX so if anyone has any info or recommendations on doctors please let me know. All advise an info is definitely welcomed.
Thank you

I had my first consultation with Dr. Hiers and she was awesome. I have another consultation with Dr Lawton tomorrow. Although Dr. Hiers was my first she truly was warm and had answered all my questions before I could even ask. Her staff were the nicest ladies ever. So leaning towards her. She's very pleasant and most importantly, she listens and helps you make a decision based on what will work with your body proportions.

Today was an awesome consultation visit. I meet again with Dr. Lawton and I must say that if you went to him and first impression was a blunt, upfront, rushed personality, I'd advise you to go back. He is a very nice man and is passionate about his work. I was nervous the dirt time I meet with him because my personality is happy, cheerie and he did not come across warm. The first visit I knew he was good at what he did just from him explaining and the reviews and reviews of his work. This second visit I opened up. showed him pictures and ran down the whole list of questions etc. He took the time and listened and really was a kind man.
I just chalked it up that he had a bad day the first visit, as we are human and it happens. He truly cares and doesn't try to put you in something you don't want.
I settled on 360cc saline with a Dec 15 date.????????????????

Yep, had my surgery on 8 Dec and been taking my pain meds around the clock. I'm trying to ween myself off of them today as I have a final on Wed. I got 460cc, saline hp and so far I'm going pretty good. I started to get an excruciating headache yesterday so another reason to back off the hydrocodone and Valium. My 22 and 18 daughters have been a huge help. I'll keep you posted
