A month ago it never crossed my mind that I would...

A month ago it never crossed my mind that I would get my breasts done. It just never really mattered to me, I have been a 36A all my life and I am very secure and happy with my body. I have an athletic build and am 5'9" and 158lbs. After kids my breasts became more "womanly" or droopy as some would call it lol! It wasn't until I took a picture of them that I realized how asymmetric they were! About 2 weeks ago I asked DH what he thought about me getting a breast aug. and he laughed and said he wondered why I have never asked for one before.. He said it was a personal decision and that he is happy either way lol.. (good guy)! So now I am obsessed and have been looking at boobs 24/7 and becoming very educated lol! Not to mention I have been feeling up a few friends of mine too haha!
So, I have done my research and I really want to be a full C (or smaller). I do not want to be a D even though I know my frame could handle it. My lifestyle is too active and I am really afraid of them making me look heavy or worse always trying to hide them because I feel like a [RS bleep] star! I am looking for the natural look that isn’t really noticeable but fill out the clothes great. I am thinking 400cc max..
Saline vs. Silicone? Well everything on the internet made we want to do saline. No MRI’s or problems not detecting a leak, no horrible stories about silicone leaking in the body and sickness, I have had the pleasure of feeling both and I could not tell the difference even though I have read that the gummies are harder! I like the idea of smaller scars and able to fill the implant to the desired look in the OR. After having the 1st consult though the doctor told me how great the gummy bear implants are and how safe they are and that they have been studied for the last 20 years and there is no evidence whatsoever that silicone implants are less safe than saline. He also said a bunch more that made sense and make me lean back to going silicone! So I have not made a decision on which way to go yet.. I have 2 more consults set up this month and I will get their input I guess!
I had my 1st consult last week in Palm Beach, FL from a doctor that my friend just went to and loved him. He was great and so was his staff. I thought going in there that I would be just getting a breast aug. But he says I really need a lift through the nipples to balance me out and fix the droopy boob. He said the other one looks great but he would cut them the same so they look and heal the same. He thought the 400cc gummy bear silicone in the small boob and 350cc in the larger boob would give me a full C. This really was not what I expected and I am so undecided on what to do now! I wanted to have the incision under the breast and leave my nipple alone because I was afraid of sensitivity problems and scarring.. So many pros and cons no matter which way I go!
I would love any feedback or experiences you girls have been through to help me make the best informed decision! If you had my boobs would you take a chance and just do implants and possibly have a droopy boob but scarless nipples or go for it and get the lift and nipple scars but have great symmetry? Also I live in South Florida and if you have a doctor you love please let me know! I still have not picked one yet! Thanks!!

2nd Consult Yesterday.. Totally different recommendation!

Yesterday I had my 2nd consult with Dr. Wigoda in Ft. Lauderdale and was impressed and thrilled with the consult. He was very down to earth and easy to talk to which I liked a lot. He went over everything thoroughly and then made his measurements. I did not mention anything about what the 1st consult suggested or that I did or didn't want a lift. I wanted his unbiased professional opinion on what I needed to get the best result possible. So he finishes his measuring, show me saline vs silicone ect. He swayed me towards silicone and I am now set on that part for sure. He suggested the incision being in the crease because he doesn't see a reason we need to go through the nipple. Pretty much totally opposite of what the 1st consult said and everything I wanted to hear! The 2 things that I am hesitant on are that the procedure is done in office in his fully equipped and accredited operating room with and not at a hospital or surgery center and that he prefers general anesthesia over twilight because he said it’s safer and controls the airway. He also said his technique is almost painless and will not require a pain pump. He said I will barely need pain meds and showed me video reviews of patient after patient coming in for their 24 hour post op feeling great and raising their arms. The price was comparable to my last consult not including the lift of course. My husband finally asked him if he was sure I don’t need a lift because this is totally different than the 1st consult and Wigoda said absolutely not. He believes he can correct the asymmetry with implants alone and that there is not enough droopiness to require a lift. I am going to have 2 more consults before I make a decision since the consults were so different but I really liked Wigoda and am excited to hear what the next consult will recommend..

2 More Consults done and I have chosen a Doctor!

I visited Dr. DeLuca in Boca Raton and he was another great doctor. He recommended just a breast augmentation but later added that I would benefit from a crescent lift as well. After doing my research I decided that the scars were not worth the lift and that many doctors have mixed reviews on the effectiveness of a crescent lift. My last consult was with Dr. Hochstein in Miami and I was very impressed by him, his office and staff. He recommended a benelli left on the left droopier side and the right would be the peri-areolar scar on the lower half of the nipple. I personally didn't like the idea of having 2 different scars on my breasts so that option was out for me as well. I decided to go forward with Dr. Wigoda in Ft. Lauderdale. I even met with him a 2nd time to talk about all the other recommendations and to make sure he was still confident I would be happy with my results without a lift. I also liked the fact he would be inserting the implants in the crease. I am hoping to keep as much nipple sensation as possible! I am also posting some better photos that my husband took because the selfies I posted seem to really distort my breasts lol!

Dr. Paul Wigoda did an amazing job on my breast augmentation, I truly could have not asked for a better result. His calm, laid back manner was always comforting and reassuring and Marie is beyond helpful and kind. I went to 4 different doctors in my area for a consult and he was the only one that said he could achieve a great result without a lift and he was right. He saved me a ton of money and unneeded scars and I will be forever grateful. I chose Dr. Wigoda because of his great before and after photos as well as his fantastic patient reviews, and I am so happy with my choice. He and his staff made it an easy, enjoyable and fun experience and I cannot imagine having a better experience!!
