I went in for a breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Petti. I had a wonderful experience, as the office was serene and comfortable, and the staff were warm and friendly. I felt safe and unusually comfortable in front of those who needed to see my bare breasts for both photos and examination. I have always felt very uneasy even at the prospect of strangers seeing my bare breasts, but the politeness and professionalism of everyone in the office made the experience considerably less anxiety-provoking. Dr. Petti explained everything in complete detail, and answered every single question I had, even before I asked them. She was very informative and provided me with suggestions pertaining to implant size, shape, etc. I was with Dr. Petti herself for nearly an hour discussing everything there was to discuss and I felt no pressure to quickly end the visit. She was more than happy to go over every detail with me. I am excited to begin my breast augmentation journey with her!!

Thanks! I have it scheduled for the day after Memorial Day weekend. I needed to schedule it around my busy summer, including 4th of July weekend. I should be healed up and ready to celebrate (comfortably) by 4th of July. Very excited!

Oh that's great! Is that Tuesday, May 31st? We can put the date in your review so you'll have a countdown to your surgery day each time you update your review. ;)

Hi! Here are some "before photos" of me. I'm very excited to get my augmentation and feel more like a woman. Currently I'm a small B cup, and would like a full C cup. I will be getting shaped implants under the muscle. Although the shaped implants are a little firmer than I would like, they will maintain their shape and reduce the puckering. One of my favorite aspects of it is that it will reduce the visibility of my protruding sternum because I will also have fullness on top. Pictures are included, and my tattoos have been covered with red marks to protect my anonymity.

Pre-Op Appointment

I've been trying to get my body ready for the procedure since I booked the surgery date. So very excited and cannot wait for my new breasts! I've begun the pre-op phase of the journey. I'm calling it a phase because it takes more than one day, depending on the type of person. No drinking alcohol 2 weeks before surgery, and no smoking cigarettes 6 weeks before surgery. I took the opportunity to quit smoking cigarettes on February 15th and haven't smoked one since. I've reduced my drinking, and will stop drinking alcohol this Sunday. I figure I'd get a head start:)
Yesterday I received the paperwork for my physician and my psychologist. I need them to sign off on my procedure before the official pre-op appointment on Monday. I got my blood drawn yesterday. Very painless and only two small vials. The purpose was to make sure I'm not pregnant, to check my blood count, and a complete metabolic panel. I presume the metabolic panel is for figuring out the dosage of anesthesia. Anywho, that's done and over with, and this morning I have an appointment with my physician to have a physical to make sure I'm healthy and good to go! I'm sure you may be wondering about the psychologist thing. I see a psychologist, and am on medication for depression. Dr. Petti's office requires that my psychologist sign off on the procedure (because I'm on the medication) saying that I'm psychologically fit to undergo this type of surgery, and that I'm not doing something rash, etc. I totally get it. I got my psychologist to sign off on it! Woo! So, all that's left after today's physical is to be at my appointment on Monday and go from there!
