20yrs Petite 295cc Anatomicals - Sydney, AU

After years of wearing push up bra's and fooling...

WORTH IT$8,000
After years of wearing push up bra's and fooling people into thinking I have big boobs, I've decided I want to make my chest permanent. Until this year, I hadn't considered breast augmentation thinking I could just get away with push up bras all my life. However after seeing how common and natural they are, I've decided this is something I really want to do.

I'm 18. 165cm. 50kg. Petite frame. Pre op - 10b. Hoping to be a small D

At this stage im planning on having surgery in Thailand, after seeing great results i cant justify spending 3 times as much in Australia. However the downside is, you only see your doctor the day before surgery. i have emailed my photos and he says im a good candidate. However I'm the type of person that loves being planned, organised and having all the details. Im hoping with the help from you ladies on here i can have a reasonably good idea of what i want prior to going to Thailand. I have a specific natural look I'm hoping to achieve (photos attached)

From my own research I'm thinking 300cc anatomical implants, incision under the breast although would consider through the nipple, under the muscle but would like to know the benefits of dual plane, thoughts?

Also, given that everyone already thinks I have boobs, this is something I don't think I want anyone to know other than my mum and boyfriend. Would love to hear from people who chose not to tell anyone and if they 'got away with it' or whether it's best just to be open about it

Just thought I'd post a pre-op photo. If anyone's boobs looked similar pre op I'd love to see your results

Also I'm planning on going in to have a consultation with a doctor in perth in the next few weeks with 3d imaging so I can feel confident before going ahead with booking in Thailand and I can compare recommendations. The consult will cost $150, but I'm told with a doctor referral I can get around $70 back

With complete respect for wanting you to feel your best, to me your breasts look PERFECT! I thought that was your after pic and wanted to know who your surgeon was (even though I don't want the surgery myself!). May I ask what size you are? Have you been fitted?
October 1, 2013
Aw thankyou so much! I'm generally a 10B. I'm not entirely unhappy with what i have now, but i guess what led me to the decision is wanting a nice cleavage in a bikini and low cut tops which i dont get without a lot of tricks

Well, I think they're beautiful! :)

Are you getting saline or silicone? Are you allowed silicone in Thailand at 18?
October 28, 2013
Silicone, yeah I have heard of some age restrictions for silicone but as far as my communication with the hospital, its fine in Thailand :)

Considering the Cosmetic Institute Sydney

annajane
Following my fears about getting sick in Thailand, I've began considering my alternatives. I rang the rooms of Dr Briggs where my consultation is booked and asked for an estimated price. I was told I would be given a full accurate break down of costs on the day of my consult but given these rough figures in AUD:
Dr Briggs' Fee - $6600
Anesthetists - $1650
Round Implants - $1785
OR Anatomical Implants - $3080
Hospital Fee - (They will give me a list of hospitals and I will have to call them myself to receive a quote)

Then I made an enquiry with the Cosmetic Institute in Sydney asking for their pricing and how long I would be required to stay in Sydney for if travelling from Perth. To my delight, I received a prompt reply saying I would only be required to stay in Sydney for "48 hours post-surgery for your post operative check up and then you will be free to return home. Your local GP will be able to change your dressings after one week post-operatively." And that "A breast enlargement is $5990 which includes surgeons fees, anaesthetist fees, theatre costs and implants (we only use TGA approved implants which come with a lifetime warranty) as well as your scheduled follow up visits after surgery."

Would be open to any advise or opinions? From you girls experience, would I be okay to fly after 48 hours? Can anyone recommend a particular surgeon at the Cosmetic Institute?

I've got no opinions as I know nothing about this place, but I'd suggest you do as much research as you can because that seems too cheap... like it's too good to be true kind of thing...
January 15, 2014
I was thinking the same thing but after doing research the reason they can offer such cheap prices is because it's a specially built small day centre therefore no hospital costs etc

I'm about to move to Perth! Was wondering how much it would be over there... sounds like Sydney is cheaper
January 22, 2014
From my research into surgeons all over perth, almost all would cost between 12-14 grand. I'm sure most Sydney surgeons would be around this price point as the cosmetic institute is one of a kind offering such low prices. But I did just make an enquiry with Dr Miroshnick in Sydney because I loved the look of his work and was quoted $11 500-$12 500 which is slightly cheaper than what I've found in Perth :)

I just had my boobs done in Thailand and honestly the service was great!!! My doctor was amazing and my boobs look great - although small :( I went with 375cc came out with 32DD's and feel like I look like a small C in clothes. My advice is go bigger! I'm going to go back and have a revision in July and possibly getting 600cc! But honestly PIAC was great :) I recommend doctor Rushapol
January 24, 2014
They're not small! I'd be stoked with a DD! Well I say that now but booby greed may kick in haha. PIAC does look amazing, I just tend to get very travel sick so that worries me. I dont know if I could handle vomitting for 10 days + dealing with recovering from surgery. Have you had any follow up appointments with your GP at home or anything?

No I haven't had any follow up appointments! I went with somnio - they arrange all appointments for you and if you have any problems you just contact them :) plus when you're in Thailand they come to all your appointments! Best decision I made was going with them :) also when it comes to fake boobs they look smaller than real boobs - so they size you want may be smaller than you think - and it does change from person to person as well :) so definitely take in a wish pic! I wish I took a photo in because I have since found so many pictures of breasts I would love to have ahah! Also the surgery isn't so bad! It's only short and they give you tons of medication and if you have any problems you call whoever you're dealing with and they get a car to pick you up and take you back to the hospital :) plus you have to stay a certain amount of time after your surgery for the guarantee! But definitely look into somnio :) they're a great company and help you with everything! Good luck with everything xo

your first quote is too expensive ..your second quote is too cheap. Can you post an update with your results. You had nice breasts before so I'm guessing you got a good result now? I have similar (not as much breast tissue)
