27, Finally Doing It!

ORIGINAL POST

Just like a lot of the posts I read, I have wanted...

WORTH IT$6,300
Just like a lot of the posts I read, I have wanted bigger boobs since I was in middle school. I had always been really thin growing up and worn a 34B, but in college I gained weight and with that my boobs only got slightly bigger, 36C. I have finally started to lose all the weight and am currently 5'6" and 140lbs. I want to be down to at least 130 by the actual surgery.

I have been on this site every night reading other people's experiences and it has gotten me so excited to do it! I was originally planning on Aug (after I quit my job, but before school starts), but im too excited now and want to do it in July. So, I called the Dr.s office today and scheduled an appt. They said I first meet with the patient coordinator to go over the procedure in detail and try on sizers which is a free appt, then after that I will meet with the PS and I believe that is the $100 consultation. Ok, these pics are so not flattering but Im going to post the good, the bad, and the ugly because its been SO helpful when other people did!!

deciding on size...

so I just had my first consultation with the patient coordinator person this morning and it went really well she went over everything about the procedure and implants in general and then I got to try and sizes. I started with 300 and then 325 350 and 375.I'm going to go somewhere between 325 and 350 I think the 375 looked way too big maybe my torso is short but they looked like they were taking over and overwhelmed me.
I would rather wish I had gone bigger then go to big and wish I was smaller!!
I'm definitely getting silicone though and with everything the total is going to be $6300 which is pretty much what I was expecting.
what looks better? I'm going to be about ten pounds lighter by the surgery too. I want to look fit sporty proportional not like I have "big boobs"!

You'll look great with whichever size you choose! The 375 does seem to make a difference on you vs the 325, but it's not a huge difference. Maybe wait and see if the surgeon has any suggestions as well or try going for another consult if you're still unsure. There are many surgeons offering completely free consults.

Thanks, I think I look at too many pictures on this site because sometimes (for example) 350 looks huge and other times it looks small even if the women are all about the same height and weight!

For the most part everyone that I told has been very supportive. One friend is against it but does the whole "whatever makes you happy" thing and another was just really surprised and literally would not even acknowledge that I told her like it made her uncomfortable. Im not even sure why I told so many people! I guess I'm just really excited but the people who aren't excited for me have me feeling slightly insecure about this decision. I kinda second guess myself like why am I actually doing this? I don't that low self esteem I just think I would look and feel "better", more feminine. And when someone isnt on board I feel like I have to defend my decision which is silly.
