29 Y/O 1 Kid 5'8" - Springfield MO

Finally booked my first two consolations! Funny enough they both are named Dr. Shaw and Dr. Shah. One is a younger surgeon and the other has a lot of experience and a bunch of awards, both highly recommended so we shall see! The I'm seeing Dr. Shaw the younger Dr. On the 20th and the other Dr. Shah's physicians assistant on the 24th.
I never had giant noobs, but they were always really perky and pretty until I had my daughter. Now I've got a major lack of top end fullness and I'm ready to take the leap. I've done some research and am pretty sure I'll get silicone unders, size probably around 450 to 500 cc, but we will see once I try on some sizes! I want whatever will look the best! Cant wait!!

T- Minus 12 days!!!! I'll start with my consults! I consulted with the two Dr. Shaws in town. I definitely wanted a surgeon working out of a major hospitals surgery center since I'm on prescription Narcotics and want a big legit hospital doing my anesthesia. I consulted with Dr. Shaw, a cosmetic surgeon at Cox Hospital here in Springfield. He has a super impressive schooling history, but not near as much experience or feedback as the other Dr. Shah from Mercy Hospital, Cox's competitor. The first younger Dr. Shaw from Cox was younger, went to Stanford, and seemed very competent. His staff was amazing, and I was semi confident even after I went to my other consults, that I would go with him.

That was until I consulted with Dr. Shah's Mercy Clinic staff. They were amazing, and I immediately knew that all the talk i had heard about Dr. Shah was for good reason. He has won top cosmetic surgeon in 417 Magazine 4 years in a row, is Board Certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Fellow, American College of Surgeons (FACS). He's also the most reviewed surgeon on realself in the area, and has a page on the mentor breast implant site...not to mention 27 years of experience and the fact that he like specializes in boobs. I was sold. After the consult I met with woman responsible for scheduling and I told myself that if they had an opening for the like week I had set aside for surgery, that it was meant to be. Well....it was meant to be.

When I originally began considering a BA, I wanted saline since I know 3 other girls personally, 2 I've worked with who had saline implants. I had always heard they were not as squishy as silicone, but if I was getting round hp implants, I obviously wasn't looking to fool anyone. As I searched reviews, however I couldn't find ANY reviews on Saline. I started thinking, may as well go with the flow and do it. Its what all the doctors were pushing so may as well, right? Anyway after setting my date , I had 3 weeks to pay the full amount- that date being 3 weeks prior to the surgery date. The pay day came, and I counted out my cash. I had enough for silicone because that's what I had been planning on, but I really hated seeing my savings depleted so much, especially knowing my friends had beautiful boobs that still felt pretty good...but hey. I design and model bikinis. I'll be able to grow my brand. Investment, right? Then I happened on a video of one of my favorite IG model/ bikini [RS bleep] model Laci Kay Somers. Saline. The main issue I've been told is the rippling that can show through Saline implants... frankly I was told I had plenty of breast tissue to go over or under the muscle. I had already decided on unders... so I know darn well under my big thick pole dancer pecs, and my already decent amount of breast tissue, rippling wouldn't be an issue. Janice Dickenson had to get her silicone implants replaced because of rippling, so that could be an issue no matter how you look at it. And Capsular Contracture? I've never been allergic to anything in my life, I've never developed strange scars or protein/ collagen build up, and I've never had an immune reaction, or a reaction to anything In my life i.e. to jewelry, products, etc. I dont see my body suddenly after 30 years of never having a reaction to anything in my life, having a sudden aggressive one would be a bit odd...although cc can happen on silicone as well. Also, the idea of not knowing I had a potential leak for years scared me. Saline felt good. That day I went in with the money I had saved, and left with $1500 bonus money in my pocket.
The next day I started researching to assure myself that I made the right decision. That's when I found the absolutely HUGE community of individuals launching a campaign to pull the FDAs approval of silicone implants. The idea of it being a cohesive gel is a bit iffy. Jello is a cohesive gel too. If you cut a piece of jello in half and lay it on the counter, it will stay in two perfect halves... but if you put that jello under hard working muscles, heat, bodily fluids, and constant pressure and movement, that cohesive gel ends up being smushed, breaking up, and being distributed within tissues. Theres pictures of lymph nodes that have been removed swollen 5 times their size full of silicone gel from slow leaks from ruptures, and lymph nodes that have blown up from gel bleeds that happen without rupture. Even without a break in the shell, gel bleed is fairly common. Even the botched doctors featured an implant that when removed was completely sticky like it was covered in honey...but without rupture. Due to strange gel bleeding. Women have nearly died, and been desperately I'll for years from the mass amount of foreign chemicals being bled from their silicone implants.
I knew then that I had made the right decision. The saline shell itself is also plastic, so also Carries risk, but I would much rather have saline solution seeping into my body. It's all personal preference, and there are tens of thousands of happy women who are perfectly healthy with silicone...but for me, I'm glad I changed my mind at the very last moment. It felt very good. Surgery is just 6 days away!
