I have always been tall, and of a thin build, amd breasts smaller than usual. I had my daughter early in life, I welcomed her just after my 21st birthday. After breastfeeding, I was left with pancakes !! I never really have been in a financial position to consider it in the past, but npw I can, I think its time to treat myself. I have booked in for Dec 5th 2014... its late Aug now... so 3 months to go. Im excited and scared at the same time. No one but my sisters and my daughter & boyfriend know about it. No one at work knows, and until I feel adjusted to them, and confident, I will keep it to myself.

I am currently a 36B, and want to go to a
good size C. I have had the initial consultation with my Dr, and he has recommended 360cc saline implants.

Hi there! I'm in Australia too, in Brisbane. 360cc will definitely get you to a C, in fact you'll probably end up a D cup with that size. I was a 10B and got 435cc and I am now a 10E/12DD. What type of implant are you going to get? I got Nuance brazilian anatomicals.

Hi Cherry !! Wow cool you are in BNE :) What doctors did you get yours done at and how long ago ? I am not sure of the implants - I have a 2nd appt soon, The first appt, there was so much info I didn't take it all in. I know I am getting textured and round. How long did you take off work ? Did you get yours done in summer ? I have 3 weeks, as its 3 weeks before Christmas.. I think I will be doing all my christmas shopping from my couch online this year !

Welcome to the forum. I'm a gold coast girl too . Good luck with everything. You can learn heaps on here...the good the bad and the ugly. Just be very clear with what you want to your surgeon. I thought I was and didn't get what I wanted. Communication is so important. Make sure that you take in heaps of photos of your wish boobs too. Size is deceptive. What we think looks like a c may actually be a dd or more!! Also what profile do you want...just all things to consider. Also consider your height. A 400cc implant on someone short can look big whereas on someone taller it can look small . cheers Shelly xoxo

Thankyou so much for your advice. Because come to think of it.. I do feel like the initial consultation didnt cover the look I am after at all. Can I ask what doc you went to ? Also more info on what you didn't like about the results ?

Check out my profile and read my story...its pretty interesting lol. Went with dr. Richardson. He didn't really give me much advice regarding my size...I thought I was getting big boobs and ended up with nice boobs but not the look I was after. Also my right implant is off centre. He thinks satisfactory but not for me. I'm looking at a revision now. If you ever want a chat you can pm me and I can give you my mobile or even meet for a coffee :) cheers Shelly xoxo

Unsure if I have made the right Dr choice

I guess the luxury I have at the moment is time. As I cannot take any time off work until early December, I have began to look further into my choice of Dr. This is after a lovely girl from my area on this site that wasn't happy with her results after using Dr Richardson, gave me some good advice.
And I have read some other comments that also reflect what I felt during my first consultation with Dr Richardson. That being that the size and most of the decisions that I would think a professional surgeon would tell me, he left to me. So I am going to call Dr Layt today, I have seen some great reviews on him. If anyone has had any experience with good doctors on the Gold Coast, let me know !!

Shopping Around

after reading reviews on this website i have been very lucky for the insight. Some reviews on dr richardson were not as good as i would have thought, seeing as this is such a big decision to make, im shopping around. i have made an appointment with doctor layt next week, and early september i have an appointment with luke stradwick. both are on the gold coast.i must say that the initial phone call with lakes office has already made me feel very reassured hey will do a good job. The receptionist covered a lot of questions and really try to understand my exact outcome desired. She was very knowledgeable and was very open with regards to risk send or complications. She even said that she was available to meet for coffee before my official appointment with dr luke, just to go over any questions i may have and this will be completely free of charge.she said for my consultation i wanted to bring in at least 5 pictures of what i expect the results to look like. this way we can see my desired look and then marry it up with his expert advice to come to an agreement on what would be suitable for my breast augmentation regarding size, shape and positioning. they use the implants naturel. i think i want from looking at pictures 350 cc moderate profile round and textured. i have put some pictures of my dream boobs on this post.dr luke can still fit me in early december, so it looks to be at this stage i will definitely have to surgery before christmas. I am getting so excited, googling so many pictures, and i even bothered to sports bras today to wear after the operation. Well they are kind of like a sports crop tops with very wide elastic at the bottom i'm guessing this will make them pretty comfortable after i've been in that much pain. For me my biggest concern and worry is not getting the results that i want. Also it is the thought of what the doctor will do to my body in the operation which kind of makes me a little bit queezy. i have to just stay focused on the result to get through that part. I do have time on my side to research and find the doc said it's going to make me feel the most comfortable. For that i am grateful. I have waited so long for this moment and i want it to be perfect. And spending that much money on a surgical treatment is a very big step for me. I pray all goes well and i can not thank the people on this website enough for sharing their stories and their experiences, they can literally change your life. So on the countdown now.....i will prost again after my next two consultations and give some feedback.
