Just starting to seriously consider implants and seeing doctors. After hitting my 30's, having 2 kids and recently losing 50lbs, my boobs are GONE! Starting at a small B. I'm not sure what to expect or if I will be brave enough to actually go through with it! I posted some pics to show what I am now (January 2015). I've always been a fan of small boobs, and I'm afraid that having larger boobs might make me look heavier.
Met Dr. Salemy and tried on sizers
So I had my first consultation yesterday and it will be my last. Dr. Salemy was that great. I was so nervous on my way to my appointment and the days leading up. I was afraid of going to someplace with people that were going to really intimidate me. I was afraid of walking into an office of perfect robotic people that would be scrutinizing every inch of me. I even discovered when I went to the restroom before meeting the dr, that when I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror I realized I was wearing about twice as much makeup as normal and my hair was about twice as big. Those are my tell tell signs that I am NERVOUS! My experience was completely opposite of what my fear was. I will admit that the entire staff was quite attractive, but they were all so real, warm and really down to earth. Even though my appointment was at the end of the work day, I never once felt rushed and I never got the impression that they were ready for the day to be done. As for Dr. Salemy, he was so kind and professional. He took his time talking with my husband and I, helping to make us both feel very educated on all of our options based on my body type and what my goals are. We first met in an office and discussed what my goals are and what a breast augmentation would entail. Then we moved to an exam room where Dr. Salemy gave me a brief exam and an extremely comfy robe to wear while we discussed what his suggestions are for how to best reach my goal. I was then given a sports bra and a variety of sizers within the range we decided would be best, and I got to try them all on and take pics. After wrapping up the sizing, I then got to meet with their appointment coordinator and discuss pricing and scheduling. Over all it was way more fun than I expected and everyone was far more friendly than I could have expected. I can't decide what size would look best. I know I won't be wearing shirts that show cleavage all the time, so I want to make sure that I don't get a size that makes me look heavy in sweaters and other more conservative tops. My other concern is not wanting to end up with a bra size that is not easily found in most bra stores. I posted pics of the sizers and I can't remember the exact size of each but I will leave a caption of the approximate cc's of both sizers.
Set a surgery date! April 9th 2015!
It was so hard to pick a date! Between making sure I'd have enough help around , making sure I'll have arrangements for my kids (2 and 4) working around their birthdays, Easter and all other commitments, it was tough to pick the right date, but I think I have. Now to figure out the right implant size! YIKES!!!
