I am strongly considering a breast augmentation. I have always had small breasts. Growing up around my closest 4 girl cousins, I was the "President of the Itty Bitty [RS bleep] Committee" and as I continued to get older, my breasts remained small. Even my younger girl cousins have outgrown me as I have turned 33 this July. I have always had a small, athletic frame so having small breasts didn't bother me so much in high school as I played volleyball and ran track. It was sometimes a blessing as I often sympathized with the girls who had larger breasts that bounced around, nearly to their chin, as they sprinted in the relays. As I journeyed through college, breast augmentation was always a dream but I still didn't mind being small as long as they were perky. It was always in the back of my mind that my breasts would grow larger after having children, but to no avail-two kids later I still have a small, athletic frame (5'3",120lbs) and I'm still small chested(34 barely B), only now; deflated.
So here I am, 33 years young and I feel like I'm old enough to make this sound, mature decision to go under the knife and change my physical appearance. I have worked hard my whole life and feel like this is something I deserve. I have the complete support of my husband, of course!! He loves me just the way I am; breast implants or no breast implants. This decision is truly all mine. So, why am I having all these mixed feelings about it??
I am struggling a lot with whether this decision is really necessary. Are people going to think that I'm vain? I still care a lot about how my parents think of me. How are they going to feel about it? I know I've mentioned to my mom multiple times in the past that I would have the procedure done, but honestly, I'm not sure if she really believed I'd ever go through with it. Whatever my decision is, I know she'll be supportive.
So, my biggest fear with having a breast augmentation is my final size/appearance. I want to be the perfect size and look that I have in my head. Not too big; not too small. Not too high; not too low. I know these will all be things to discuss with my plastic surgeon, but these are all valid things to worry about.
I have a scheduled consultation on August 1st. I have researched multiple plastic surgeons in the area and the one I have found has outstanding credentials and a plethora of 5 star reviews. My question to all of you is should I consult with more than one plastic surgeon even though if after meeting with him I feel satisfied? Also, what are or were some important things/characteristics that your plastic surgeon possessed?
Saline or silicone and why? Any advice would be helpful to me and my decision.
I am really excited about my consultation and after I scheduled it, I wish it could have been done sooner!
