Hi! I'm 23 years old and a mother of one beautiful...

Hi! I'm 23 years old and a mother of one beautiful little boy. I'm going in for sizing/pre-op on February 2nd and my surgery is scheduled for February 11th. I'm sooooo nervous, to say the least. I was surprised to have found such an accredited surgeon in Tallahassee, Florida with such a good price on his augmentation procedure. I've wanted implants since I completed breastfeeding my son, but I didn't think I'd be able to afford them until he graduates college. It took 6 months of frugally saving and I finally went to a consultation with Doctor Kirbo! I told him that I'm concerned about breast fullness. It's my only concern, actually. I don't want huge [RS bleep] star boobs, but I want them to have more bounce and less sag. Since age 17, I've purchased nothing but "+2 cups bras" from Victoria's Secret, and I NEVER take my bra off during intimacy. It's been my ole faithful bust bra for years now, but I am more than ready to throw them all away!
I'll post "before" and "expectation" photos soon!

You will absolutely love Dr kirbo and all the staff! I regret not having my Breast Aug with them but multiple members of my family did with him and have amazing results and I have a quote with him to fix mine from the other surgery center in Tallahassee. Last week I had a tummy tuck with dr kirbo and love them all! He even did my grandma and aunts breast cancer surgery. He is hands down the best around!

Awesome, it's so great to read that! I've heard nothing but good things about him so far. Could you tell me about your experience recovering from your BA? That's the only thing I'm super worried about.

Dr hill did mine... He didn't so good and that facility doesn't have a revision policy so he wouldn't fix it. Are you having a lift? It's a bit more intense then just the augmentation but doable. I get these cyst in my breast already had super tender breast prior. You will do great! I was in a recliner for a week or a little more. It was an adjustment for me to lay flat but it was fine. I was super swollen at first and it went down in a couple weeks alot! Thought I would be bigger than I turned out. I have 3 family members go had just breast aug from dr kirbo and they bounced back super fast. You will love the results.

Picture update
I just wanted to post an update to show you guys what I'm currently working with in the bust area and what I'm hoping to gain with this surgery. One of my boobs is fuller than the other, as you can tell, and I'm hoping that will be corrected. Im still unsure of where I want the incision to be made, does anyone have any suggestions as far as that goes? I'm thinking transaxillary because I really don't want to have any visible scars on my breasts, but I've read that the armpit incision makes it harder for the surgeon to place the implant properly. Opinions? Thanks xox

Hi! What are your stats and what cc's are you going with? I'm scheduled for surgery just 6 days after you! Did your surgeon mention his preferred incision site? I went to 6 consults and all of them said they prefer the breast crease because "it's the easiest for placement and comes with the lowest risk of infection etc" for some reason...but I'm ok with that because the scar is suppose to hide nicely in the folds (I guess except for the view looking up at your boobs lol :) but the armpit would be excellent if that's what your surgeon is accustomed to!! Also, you have excellent post-baby breasts...I wasn't so lucky ;) Anyway, good luck!

I know this sounds crazy, but I really have no clue what ccs I'm going for. Preop is this week so I'll post an update on that. I'm just hoping to be a full d cup. Right now I'm a small c. And as I've been reading others reviews on mentor implants on here, I'm considering going with the breast crease incision. My doctor said that he feels comfortable with all incision points, so it's really up to me. I'm hoping to get some more opinions on here before my preop and final decision. Good luck to you as well, lovely! Xox

I'm having my surgery on Feb 9th! My surgeon recommends Natrelle Allergan silicone implants so I'll be going with those placed through crease incision as well. I think my surgeon is more experienced doing the placement through the crease, which makes me more comfortable! The scars heal up pretty nicely after a year (they become smooth and turn white instead of red) so they hide nicely underneath the breast.
I don't have a surgery buddy yet so hopefully you keep us posted on your consult results and any other tips you get from your PS! Right now, I'm getting my list of goodies ready for post-BA recovery time! Frozen peas, neck pillow, trash bags (in case I get sick on the ride home), extra gauze, etc. Good luck!

My stats
I completely forgot to mention my height and weight in my last update! For some reason it didn't even cross my mind. I'm 5'4, 125 lbs, petite frame. 34 bust, 25 waist, 36 hip. I haven't decided how many ccs I want, but I have decided to go with round, smooth silicone Mentor implants, under the muscle. I considered the tear drop shape also, but really couldn't tell much of a difference as far as they looked. It seemed to me to only difference was the price. I'll try to snap some photos at my pre op this week! Xox
Good for your for saving all that money for your surgery! Can't wait to hear how your pre op and sizing appointment goes. While you're waiting, feel free to join the February 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre op support. Looking forward to your pictures!
