New Assets for 30 Yr No Kids 5'3" 110lbs 32C to Hopeful D. Scottsdale, AZ

WORTH IT$7,500
Yesterday I went in for an initial consult at the Shaw Center with their nurse ba specialist. She asked what I current think my size was and how I would like to be. I told her im 32C but its very flat and all side boob. I was bigger in my younger years and replaced them with muscles. Then with the long work hours and no more rock climbing, im just skinny with spare skin and side boob. I wanted DD but was going for a very full round look that gives lots of cleavage.
We did a scan and 3D imaging. She looked at the computer measurements and took manual measurements to double check. My nipples are very high on my chest, meaning there will be lots of fullness up top. Im symmterical. The nipples are just 2mm off in hight and that may be amplified by implants but not noticable to an untrained eye, which is great news. They point in good directions.

Im 5'3" 110lbs, my rib cage is small. Each boob is 11.5 cm base width. I tried on different sizes and we decided on the max I could go. Nurse said they will be smaller when inplanted under the muscle. Allergan Inspira 400 cc ultra high profiles (very high fill but forgot what %) round and smooth. We then used 3D imaging for the expected look. They didn't look more attractive or less attractive to me but for me this isn't so much about body image. Honestly its about goving myself something tangible that no one can take from me. Im tired of all the things that I have lost, been taken, been stolen from. Good luck taking away my boobs or knowledge!

The process will be a no touch procedure. Axillary through the armpit crease using an endoscope and keller funnel. This is Dr Shaw's specialty. No cutting on the breast. The endoscope will give an in depth view up on a monitor. The pockets will be done precisely with this technology. I can accept the higher surgeon cost because of the high tech method. I'll be on a table that moves up and back down to test symmetry and height level of the pockets. I was made aware replacing the implant would mean in the future doing a inframammary fold incision. We discussed the risks as well. Eep.

The post op is going to be a bit longer appointment all the way in July so I can meet The Dr amd do a 2nd consult with him. The procedure I scheduled for Sept 8!!! His scheduling is very far out due to the waitlist. Im getting a great adrenaline kick from all of this.

Hi! I'm in Scottsdale too and wondered who else you had a consult with. I have one with Corey this week, Flint the next and then Parson. Wondered if you saw any of them and why you didn't care for them. My friend went to Shaw years ago, he did great work but he has really increased his price. Not a bad thing, he earned it with his great reputation in the boob department. Thanks!

I haven't been to any of the others but have seen their names. You have to let me know how it goes! My fried went to shaw years ago and still is happy with an axillary approach. I chose Shaw because I didn't see many doctors that has the tech or the precision to do axillary. His wait list is really long however. I was quoted 7500.

Keep me up to date!!!!!! We can be surgery buddies

Surgery and boob buddies, I love it! We live it in the boob belt, so it's just meant to be...ha! I went to Corey yesterday and felt so good about him as a doctor, and liked his staff too, I canceled my other 2 consults and booked my date for May 19th, Woohoo! I am going with the gummy bear 410s. He said I'm a good candidate for them. I just noticed your comment about profiles and I didn't discuss that with him, maybe at my second appt he will go over that? I do know, that sometimes a higher profile can make women look heavier in certain clothing. Like winter clothes. May want to ask Shaw his thoughts. I think with HP you would still get some great protection and cleavage. Just my two cents, but he will know best considering your wish list. Ah...decisions, decisions!

You are my boob twin; -). I also have very flat, all side boob with high nippel. I saw one surgeon who said my breasts where very challenging and he wasn't sure he could get me boobs I wanted. Thank you for your reviews and sharing.

Rethinking UHP and may drop down to HP.

Wall Street
I saw some ppl post that UHP are too big. The 3D image looks a bit too droopy snoopy, so I'll have to ask the Dr in July. The next option down was fine but I was worried about Boob greed. Anyone get HP and end up with boob greed?

I had hp and yes I have boob greed, but it was only because the largest implant I could get based on my BWD was 275, and even that was a tight fit. That being said however, I went from a AA to DD/D, so I certainly got a lot of bang for my buck. I have my 6 month post op at the end of April and I will discuss maybe a revision to a larger implant now that I have stretched some, but I wouldn't have the surgery until the fall as I want to enjoy the summer and not be recovering from surgery. Good luck and keep posting!!!

I absolutely agree with planning the recovery in the fall and winter!

Maybe 335cc HP for first time

Wall Street
I will let the PS decide ultimately, but I won't be disappointed if the smaller 335 cc HP is his rec over 400 cc XHP because the bottoming out and sagging risks concern me. Any boobs will be better than no boobs or ones that fall on my knees!

Hi, congratulations on your upcoming boobies! You are not alone in this very confusing and emotional roller-coaster. Choosing our size has got to be one of the worst decisions that a woman has to make. I think it would save so much agony if there was a one size fits all implant. Probably not the best theory, but at least it would eliminate the struggle, lol
With that said, I had the choice of two implant profiles and cc. I absolutely knew that I wanted a tear drop shape, silicone implant. I had no idea how many options were available. My biggest concern was to not have ball shaped boobies, and I didn't want the high boob look either. I did my research and narrowed down to 3 doctors. I poured over hundreds of pictures of boobs, it was definitely an obsession! I picked my PS based on pictures, reviews and the comfortability of his staff.
I think that you have to be really comfortable with your PS. So, trust in your PS and advise him about every concern, what you like and what you absolutely don't want. He's your doctor, and he has your best interests in mind.
I ended up with Mentor Memoryshape, high profile, 390 cc. Yes, most days I am completely happy with my results, but there are still days when I wonder what an additional 50 ccs would have looked like. I know that I would not have been happy with a flatter profile, so HP was definitely the best way to go! I am sure that I didn't help you very much, but I think that it’s ultimately up to you and your comfort level.
