Growing up I always thought my boobs would...

WORTH IT$10,800
Growing up I always thought my boobs would eventually fill out. My sisters and mom all have C's and D's... I had tiny A's .. maybe even AA's. I didn't fully realize they weren't normal. Being small never really bothered me until until a trip to the beach after grad. I heard a bunch of boys from school talking about how flat I was, it made me feel awful! Doing some research I soon realized I had tuberous breasts (thanks to google) .. I couldn't be in denial, so many pictures looked exactly like mine and explained how mine wouldn't grow. I couldn't stop crying, from that point on I tried to do anything I could to make them grow and hope they'd be okay... I spent $300 on pills that claimed to make your boobs grow (they dont work.. but i got refunded dont worry lol), I started doing insane amounts of chest workouts (grew pecs so a least I have the illusion of cleavage lol) and even tried eating certain foods. The last few years I've been saving up in the back of my mind to get surgery. It wasn't until I came into some money that this got serious and I booked a consolation this year.
I booked in April and it wasn't for over 3 months .. I called the place one day to get some questions answered and got pushed all the way up to only a few weeks after I called the first time, so may 1st !
I was terrified I'd hear all sorts of bad things, that my boobs would never be perfect, that they'd cost a ton more than the $8000 the website averagely quoted..
I did hear I could achieve good results .. which relieved me but after going through exactly what needed to be done the cost quickly came to 10,800 with taxes sadly.
I cannot wait any longer, I Booked the day of my consolation and now my surgey is july 23rd ! I couldn't be more anxious or excited !
I am getting 355CC high profile silicone implants through the areola and another incision might have to be made underneath the breast as well. These are going under the muscle although my surgeon has been on the fence about over or under as I lack serious breast tissue and have an abnormal shape!
I will be updating constantly, I really want to show my journey and hopefully have beautiful results to share with anyone reading that is going through the same problem!

Nervous and excited! Pre op tuberous breast pictures
Veronica_93June 29, 2014
Less than one month until I hopefully fix these stupid boobs.. shape, size and all. Today I mailed my money order to the cosmetic center ... was kinda sad seeing so much money come out of my account all in one day... but hopefully its worth it! If I am happy with my results it'll be worth all the time, money, and planning to finally feel comfortable. I did all the paper work for the portion I'm financing (just under half) and that should have been released to the center as well now. Still waiting on the place to send me a document (which i requested) stating exactly where the incision, size, shape etc will be... I already know its supposed to be 355cc high profile round silicone under the muscle and done through the nipple but in case anything has changed which I was told it might. Super nervous that I won't like my results but seeing great results from women just like me is making me feel better ! I am posting more pre op pictures as well

How exciting! I know it was hard for me to part with my money but in the end I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! Can't wait to see your results!!
June 29, 2014
Did you finance any of it ? Makes me sad...I know a girl who got just a standard boob job done at the same place for only 8,000 ... sucks that having this problem costs so much more ! Wish it was covered by something
June 29, 2014
No I didn't finance it. I didn't want to finance because it was cheaper to pay cash. Mine would have been 4500 but with the reconstruction it was 5500. Yes it does suck having this problem but it was money well spent. I sure wish insurance would had covered it but they wont ....
June 29, 2014
Jesus ! LUCKY. Are you in the states? Holy why is mine so expensive then lol :( !!
June 29, 2014
Yes I'm in the states (Texas). Oh don't get me wrong I called several doctors in my area and the price varied from 5000 to well over 10k. I knew what my budget was and I had to stick to it. Luckily I found a doctor that was best for me just not price wise but personality and experience as well. I love my doctor and I would do it all over again in an instant

Hi, I have tuberous breasts as well, they look similar to yours. May I ask which implants you went with: Mentor or Natrelle? Did your PS do anything to expand the constriction that comes with having tuberous breasts? I'm unsure if I will need areola reduction and bonelli lift since I've seen a lot of cases where that needed to be done on tuberous breasts. Sorry for all the questions, yours came out so well I'm hoping I have the same results

Over the muscle?
Veronica_93June 30, 2014
Today I was notified by my surgeon he wants to go over the muscle .. I am mortified. Everyone's reviews I've seen so far have been under. I DO NOT want fake [RS bleep] star boobs... seriously heart broken. Apparently going under won't fix the shape of my breasts which makes no sense to me considering how many similar looking breasts I've seen be fixed with under the muscle. Has anyone seen a good result with over the muscle? Seriously considering canceling the whole thing :(

Don't cancel honey. Trust your PS to know what is best for you. I have been here for a few months now and while it isn't very common, there have been several women who went over and had fantastic results. We are ask very different and what works for one might not be what is best for the other. What cc's are you getting? Saline or silicone?
June 30, 2014
Ah im so discouraged though. I really cant find results online. I requested the clinic sends pictures of similar cases or at least patients with over the muscle implants... their website has like 200 pics of great looking boobs... all under the muscle. Not one picture with over the muscle, not a single picture.
Im getting 335cc or 355cc silcone, high profile round

You have about 3 weeks before surgery. Ask for another consultation. Tell them you want to know exactly why he wants to do over with you because you really wanted under. Make him give you a satisfactory answer. It's your money and a lot of it. You have the right to know why he changed his mind. If I were as set on under and he changed to over I would need a complete explanation of why before I let him go through with it.
July 1, 2014
That's how I feel. The main surgeon at the clinic (who I couldn't even get a consult with till December) is now doing the surgey with my original surgeon so that's why its pushed back a bit but I am having sort of like another consult to talk with himnow too in a few weeks too! If I don't see pictures I'm canceling and I want a refund. I've already paid so.
July 1, 2014
Go in with an open mind sweetheart. There maybe a very valid reason why he wants to do over. But you have the right to know why. This other doctor maybe able to explain it to you in a way you would understand and be happy. If you aren't then stress how much you would rather do unders. But if you go in defensive and prepared to do battle, I don't think you will get the same results if you remain calm and open minded. Give them a chance to explain it to you. If you still aren't satisfied the honey I'm all for standing your ground.

I want you to stop by the forum for June/July surgeries. There are so many wonderful women there who would love to share this journey with you.
June 30, 2014
Go to the top of this page and click on forums. It should be one of the first ones you see. If not go to the search box and your it in.

Hi lisa...do you have an approximate new surgery date that we can put into your review? So happy to see you're getting some great support from community! ;)

I have seen many women with tuberous breasts enjoy amazing results from breast augmentation. Here is a helpful video: <rs-video-player video='{"id":"1404","external_id":"3613902530001","uri":"video\/can-patients-with-tubular-breasts-get-a-great-result-from-breast-augmentation-surgery"}'></rs-video-player> from a RealSelf doctor discussing this along with some helpful information. I also found this member, Kanne26, who just had her tuberous breasts augmented with overs 2 weeks ago. You might want to check out her review. I'm glad to see the community is supporting you....they're a great group of women. Keep us posted!
July 1, 2014
I'm so glad Be Yuh suggested you Kanne. You have amazing results and I think can help this young lady more than I can. I'll give her all the support and encouragement I can. But it's different to hear from someone who has been whereyou are. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I'm sure you help more women than you know.
July 1, 2014
Of course you know I meant Beth. Stupid auto correct on this phone didn't even correct it with a real word!
July 2, 2014
Thank you so so so much for the support all of you ! Finding it so comforting and helpful to read about others out there like me ! I thought I was the only one lol!
July 1, 2014
Aww I wouldn't cancel so soon. I'd look at the doctors before and after shots, and if you like the way they look id go for it. I checked out that review Beth mentioned too and that girl had nice results! Definitely not [RS bleep] star like at all. I was bummed when I found out most people go under for tubular breasts-so much more invasive to cut into your muscles. There are ao many different techniques and I think each surgeon has his own way of getting good results. It's like art. Everyone does it differently. I think as long as you like the work your dr has done on other people with tubular breasts and you are actually ok with going over, I'd still go with it for sure. Sleep on it! :)
July 1, 2014
Also I've looked into like 30+ doctors (yup! Haha I wanna make sure I go to the doc whose style I like best lol) and I noticed that at sunset cosmetic in California they do a lot of overs. Usually for people with more breast tissue, but worth googling really quickly to look at their results!
July 2, 2014
I won't cancel until after the last consoltation with the other surgeon ! If I dont see pictures, or dont see what I like then I cant go through with it ! I posted another question asking if surgeons would do under or over for someone like me, so far two people answered and said overs for sure ! Making me feel better lol ! Ill have to check that sunset cosmetic website, even googling over breast implants I couldnt find much
