I've wanted BA for many years, I'm 35, mom of 3, 5.9',140lbs,36a bra size. I'm finally taken the 1 step and I've scheduled my consultation for Oct. 3 2013. This MD was recommended by a friend, I've looked at so many websites regarding size, profile, saline, silicone etc. I'm so excited I found this website b/c it has helped me with confirming I'm making the right decision. I don't wanna go too big, I was thinking 275-300cc saline high profile. My breast do sag a little so I'm not sure if I'll need a lift!
2 more weeks til my consult...can't wait:)

I was so nervous for my first consultation. It's not so bad- a little awkward at first, but I relaxed and got excited about fixing my problem issues.

Welcome! You've come to the right place. My surgery is the same day as your consult. I'm going with 275cc silicone unders with incision under the breast. Good luck at the consultation and consider making another consult with a different doc or two afterwards. It's good to get a feel for different surgeons. I went with my second doc. I'll let you know how it goes!

@LovingLife2, thanks! I was wondering if I should hve a consult with another PS. Last night I had the craziest dream, I dreamt that I went for my consult & the did my BA, 1 boob was huge & the other was small and lop sided...lol! Like I said very weird dream, I'm very anxious & nervous about my 1st consult but I think your right, I should have at least 2 consults.

So I had my 1st consult today with Dr. Watts, he was very nice and relaxed, prior to arriving I was very nervous. He took measurements and pictures then we discussed size, profile, saline/silicone, incision site etc. He was very informative which made me more comfortable. He suggested I go 325cc-350cc HP silicone.....whoa I said! (lol) I was thinking 275-300cc. He said based on my frame, breast tissue, this would be great for my body. I expressed my concern of going to big! He said most of the women always say it's not large enough..LOL! I brought along my BFF and she said I should do 350cc as well. I did also ask if I would need a lift, he said my sag is very minor and the implants would fill me without increasing sag. Again, I enjoyed my 1st consultation. I have another on Monday with Dr. Adrian Lo in Philly. I'll keep everyone posted.

I know that's what I'm thinking as well. I think I'll be comfortable at 300cc, I just can't fathom 350cc....lol

Hi! I did the same thing I searched and searched te Internet trying to decide what size I should do comparing my size and boobs to others and got so frustrated that someone with my stats needed 200 cc to get to a C cup while others needed 375! I also didn't want to go too big and was so worried I would but my doctor told me not to compare to others bc everyone's body is different so even with similar stats we need different sizes to get the same effect. I ended up going with a 320 silicone but I also am starting with a little smaller boobs! Don't stress and just pick what size you feel comfortable with! You don't want to go too big but you don't want to go to small and regret it! Good Luck!

Thanks Nikki! What made you decide on Silicone VS Saline?
October 9, 2013
I went with silicone because my doctor said that since I dont have much breast tissue the silicone will look and feel more natrual than the saline. I told him I wanted to look as natrual as possible and that was his suggestion!

2nd Consultation today!

Ok ladies, so I had my 2nd consult today with Dr. Lo, and let me just say the staff was great, they made me feel very comfortable, Dr. Lo was great at explaining everything, I'm a nurse and generally don't share that but once Dr. Lo knew he still continued to speak to me normal (as a patient)!! His suggestions were not to far off from 1st MD, he said I have enough breast tissue for saline but I could do silicone as well, it would really be a matter of preference. His preference is trans axillary (armpit) incision but will do crease incision if that is my preference. As far as size he too recommended 325-350cc under the muscle. We also discussed the slight sagging, he said the implants would give them the appropriate lift, my right breast sags the most so he said he would make the determination of a mini lift in the OR! Not really sure about the scar (lollipop) but I do want to have nice full perky boobs!! LOL
So decisions decisions....please help ladies!! Saline or Silicone?? 325cc or 350cc??
