Well, after scrutinizing this website for couple of years now, i have finally decided on a doctor for Breast augmentation first, maybe rhino as well but I am still u decided about this one.
Everyone on this website has been very helpfull in assisting with my decision and I thank you every posters.
I had my initial consultation wit Dr Parhiscar in San Ramon, Ca. He was very throrough with his information. I felt very comfortable right away.
I have attached some picture of me now. And I will most likely go with silicone mentor moderate plus under muscle - 350cc per his recommendation. I liked the 400cc to which he said it might a bit big for me and might be less natural. Like most of us, I dont want to have any regrets.
I will record my journey through this adventure hoping it helps someone else as well.

I'm excited for you! I'm having surgery with him in March!

I'm exactly in the same boat! I want 375 I think but he suggests 350. Would love to know how you're doing and what size bra you fit into now?

Well, we finally pin-pointed the date for surgery. That's it! I am doing it. To be honest I feel very superficial at times wanting this and second guess myself as to the necessity of this surgery. But I am going for it or I losse $500. ;)
I also know I will love the results and the fact I really like my sirgeon also makes me feel good anout going for it. So the pre-ops is definitely a time of great reevaluation of priorities, at least for me.
My pre-op will be on March 22nd. I am still leaning towards 375/400cc rather than 350cc.
My stats are 5.3ft, about 113lbs + or -. I breastfed my 5.5yo son for about 6months and saw my breast loosing its firmness right away. But I was on the smaller side prior, and a full 34B. I would like a full 34C small D. My doctor says 350cc would give me that and 400cc would start to be a bit less natural. I hope he is right because at the end I think I will follow his leD and trust his expertise.
Is there anything I should do to help the healing phase before the surgery? Aby advises wpuld be great. ;). Thank you.
Ps: I am also attaching the picture of a realself patient as this would be the ideal outcome for me.

My pre op is March 18 and I feel the same way. I'm going to to re evaluate everything again. I'm so confused as to what I want to do. Good luck!
March 5, 2016
Good luck to you too! It is coming up! When is your surgery date?
For me, I think if I don't do it, then I will regret it and still be scrutinizing this site for years. lol

My surgery date is March 28th. I agree with you. 2 years ago I decided to take a vacation instead of my surgery now here I am again. I'm going to do it so that I don't have to feel like I should have done it lol.

I am going on March 15th.. Looking at 457cc, one side and a 533cc on the other, big difference... Moderate plus, ... I am scared to death... Advice?
March 25, 2016
Alicejn,
I am sorry I never replied. I just read your measage. I hope all went well for you. Keep us updated!! Which doctor did you see? My best wishes for your recovery!
March 8, 2016
Good luck! I got 350 moderate plus. 7 days post op today and I'm liking the size so far
March 11, 2016
Ittybittytits - Yours look great!!! :) The shape is very nice too. You probably had more to start with than me. I am hoping for a similar result than your. Thanks.
March 9, 2016
I'm going to Dr. P too! March 24th
March 11, 2016
Whoop Whoop! Congrat and good luck. Can;'t wait to see your result. Are you going with 500cc?
March 11, 2016
Yes 500 to 550....I want to see what he says!!! Congrats to u too!! Can't wait to get it done
March 16, 2016
I'm 5'3" too but starting with less than an A cup. 350cc seemed way too big and I weigh more than you (138 with wide hips). The nurse I met with at a place in Santa Rosa said she got 475cc (she's taller and thinner than me) but now wishes she had 375cc or less instead, now that she's in her 30s. Hers looked great, but def a bit fake looking even under her shirt. Good luck in whatever you decide. I'm sure you'll love them :)

hey chicky!! how exciting for you now it's getting so close!! i have a few posts on my review with vitamins and things I found helpful leading up to surgery - hopefully it helps you prepare! i'm day 6 post surgery and it's sucha rewarding and exciting journey - i'm excited for you!! x
March 25, 2016
Absolute pleasure, I hope the posts helped you a little bit, i know it can be a daunting time leading up. The pain had reduced so much between day 7 and 8, it's remarkable!!! I did have a lot of pain between days 1-3 and each day got a little bit better, but today is the first time i have felt really quite significantly better. I also had a lift which can make it a longer recovery period but it truly isn't mangeable as long as you are prepared - mentally and physically =)
how are you feeling?
how are you feeling?

Wow!! I don't recall when I have ever been this confused and doubtful of my decisions. I will be doing 2 procedures with Dr P. His office and him have been very helpful in appeasing my worries. Deep, deep, deep down I know it will turn out just fine :) but I am still constantly doubting myself and what I want.
For those who might find this helpful, as I did in the past, I have ordered the following to help me heal:
- ScarAway strips
- U-shape pillow
- The pain meds
- Soups/Papaya/and a bunch of prep meal for my family
- Comfortable shirt
- Cleaning wipes & dry shampoo
I am planning to go for a nice waxing treatment for armpits and eyebrows. :)
With Dr P. we decided to go with 375cc Mod plus. The high profile scares me, even though it is his recommendation due to my narrow chest & hips. He recommends HP for smaller chest otherwise the mod plus that is wider would be go beyond the natural side curve of the breast and look a little less natural on the sides. It makes sense, but I figured 25cc would not make this much of a difference.
That's it for today. :)

Excited for you! April 1, woohoooo!
Yes my PS also recommends high profile for petite women. I'm really small. 4'11 & 100 lbs. I'm going with 450 cc's only because the final outcome is going to be smaller. Going under the muscle you lose 10 or 15%.
I hope everything goes well and you're happy with your results. Pls posts some pics after ur BA.
Good luck!!!=)

Great!! Good luck to you as well!! 450cc would scare me ;) but I am sure your result will be beautiful. ;)
Thank you! and yes, I will post the progress. ;)

So excited for you too! I meet with Dr. P this weekend for a consultation. Can't wait to see your results. Sounds like you both decided on the right sizing and I'm sure it would turn out amazing :)
So glad to hear that RealSelf has been helpful with your journey so far. It's nice that you're paying it forward by sharing your story too. Let us know when you get a surgery date so we can guide you to the appropriate monthly BA forum. Looking forward to your updates!
