WORTH IT$11,000
Had my first appointment like a week ago to discuss with Dr. Ciardullo that I wanted breast augmentation and rhinoplasty, he seems like an awesome guy, took so much time to explain everything. So I am 5'8, 150 pounds, and sometimes my weight fluctuates down to 135, I work out a lot and am a swimmer. I have one child who I breastfed. I am so excited to be getting breast augmentation as well as rhinoplasty, I have a horrible nose that makes my face look so manly, its literally a koala nose. On this review I will just post stuff about the breast augmentation.
I am going to use Dr Ciardullo in White Plains NY, and I hope it all turns out amazing! I want decent sized boobies, right now I am a B on a good day, but I have the deflation that comes with losing weight over time etc and I want like full sized knockers Lol but at the same time I dont want them to be an impediment on everyday life... So I brought up the idea of getting btw 450-475ccs and doc suggested 425 max, but then he seemed open to bigger sizes. So I said sure 425 to "be on the bigger side". Now I'm wondering if I should go for bigger like the 475 I thought. I'm not the doc, but he seemed open to it later on in the conversation. I have decent shoulders from swimming and I am not petite. So What do you girls think ?? I am just worried because I see on her girls that are like 5'4 getting 500ccs and Im worried with my height and weight that 425 cc is going to be wayy convservative and I dont plan to spend all this money for 'eh'. I mean its weird that I feel almost bad asking for a bigger size lol. I understand from reading stuff online that apparently 500cc can lead to complications so that is why I reasoned that 475 was better. My husband is gung ho about the whole thing. So maybe I will call the office tomorrow and let him know Im thinking I should go bigger. I am like 2 months away so I would think it would be fine to change. I will add a photo asap.

Ok, so the hubby took off today from work to meet with the Dr today, and we decided on 450cc! Cannot wait to have my nose fixed and my boobs done, I seriously wish it was tomorrow :-) For the past two weeks I had been trying to convince myself that I didnt need surgery at all but deep down in my heart I have always hated my nose, my husband took a pic of me on his cell the other day just to show that I would immediately delete it. It will be nice when I do not have to do that anymore. I will just try to workout a lot before the surgery and eat healthy bc I know once its done I wont be able to workout for a while. I tried posting photos but it wont work for some reason! When I do please let me know anything that you ladies think!!

We have similar stats... Im 5'8 155 lbs and Im getting 500 cc's... I felt like the 450's wouldn't make that much of a difference from all my padding i have now... I am wide across the front so its evened out... Good luck to you on your journey to boob land! :)

Hi Tallglass! Omg you should go 500ccs if thats what you want, I got talked out of it today, and I'm ok with 450cc, mainly bc I am into swimming and I just got back into competing with Masters, might have another kid in the future, so if I want to increase later on I will. But yeah I say go for the 500ccs! My doc said he didnt think it would fit in for me, but he would do what I want bc "its your body". He agreed to 450s but that seemed like he thought it was pushing it lol. Thanks for thinking my nose is ok, its kindof hard with these photos, I will post some another one up of me and my daughter that def shows what I mean, its long and spreads really bad when I smile, like the nostrils just widen. Ive hated it my whole life.
April 9, 2013
Ooo ok gotcha! Im not athletic at all( perhaps thats why im finding weight instead of losing it.. But any whoot thats a story for another day!! Lol) yes im def going with 500's! :).... I see your new pic and once again i think you look pretty with your nose but I know how it is when you are not personally happy with something ... No one can tell you differently! So good luck on your journey to being completely happy with your looks!!!! :)

Hi there! Well I think you are beautiful!!! I completely understand where you are coming from though! Congrats! My BA isn't until May 23rd! I am training to be in a figure competition on May 10th so I have no choice but to wait...it is terrible torture, isn't it?!? Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I am going with HP 650/700 round silicone and I am 5'7, 130 lbs. My PS showed me what they will look like on the 3D imager thing. THey are not at all over the top and I think they will be perfect for my body. Everyone is different but you don't want to have regrets! Good luck and keep me posted!!!!

Thanks so much that is really sweet, i have always thought i was hideous in terms of my nose, I delete every photo of my daughter and me, anything I do have is her or her and her father. Will be nice to not do that anymore! Yes waiting is gonna be hard! You are getting close though, not too long :-)!! hopefully time flies for both of us! Thanks for letting me know about your size you are getting, I am getting HP too and slicone, I do see bigger sizes on girls our height and it looks gorgeous.... I told Dr. C I like big boobies, and his reaction was really against it, he told me he personally didnt like the sizes of 500 or 550cc for me, thought that on my body it wouldnt look good , that it would be matronly, way me down and stretch or something, and that he didnt think it would even possibly fit, so after he said all that i basically squeezed an extra 50cc with him to get 450cc LOL. so I am trusting him, I guess we will see afterwards right? :-D For some weird reason I think I am ok with accepting it, bc the past few weeks I have been almost backing out, am I making a mistake, bc right now (my boobs have like grown a bit), and with getting the rhinoplasty too I am a bit worried about a huge change overall to myself, and Im a bit more ok knowing that I wont wake up too too different. :-) I am sure yours will turn out amazing if you trust your doctor! Cant wait, and hopefully bikini season will be great for both of us!!

wow and "weigh" me down, not way lol. i am def not gonna write after 12:17 in the am haha and I may have to prewrite and edit these puppies LOL
April 9, 2013
Congrats on your decision - I think the worst part for me was having to wait a month for the aug - I kept changing my mind.
I think you could def go to 475 or 500 because of your height. I will admit 450 is bigger than I expected but I'm only 5'. If you tried on the sizers and liked it at 450 then great but you shld def try on a bigger sizer - or rice test.
April 9, 2013
Thanks! I will def do a rice test today, I do see so many people shorter go bigger and it looks amazing. Maybe I have a narrow chest compared to most people? No idea. My doctor didnt have sizers for me to try, or at least he didnt suggest it.

Hey girls, I am sure so many of you are excited...
Hey girls, I am sure so many of you are excited and cant wait for your big day!! I seriously wish it was tomorrow haha. I'm gonna workout now while my daughter takes a nap to keep my brain busy, otherwise I will be obsessively compulsively looking up photos of 450cc implant results and rhinoplasty results lol. My poor husband will have to hear about it for a few more weeks lol. I definitley have my emotional swings though of am I doing the right thing. When I woke up this morning, the first thing I thought was, I will soon be waking up with implants (will that feel really weird and unnatural??? not sure!) Oh well!!

Congrats on your big decision! I have to wait until May 13th and it feels like its next year! Lol! The waiting is the worst part (aside from obsessively looking at boob pics all day!). Good luck and keep us posted!
April 9, 2013
Thanks! Wow 4 days away, so close but I know what you mean!! Haha I've been doing the same thing :-)!
April 12, 2013
Hey girl I'm getting both done on April 18th, I'll keep posted how the combined recovery is. Goodluck!
April 24, 2013
Good luck with your surgery. Let me know how the nose goes..lol..nose goes...I'm freaking out with one surgery, can't imagine two! But I have one of those italian noses with the big bump...I was thinking of fixing that in a year or two...
April 24, 2013
Thansk I will def let you know! Yeah I am pretty much like what did I sign up for haha so we will see next week!
April 24, 2013
Good luck with your surgeries! You are lovely even without the surgery :)
I am going to see Dr. C on Monday for a rhino/septoplasty consult...any tips or advice? How do you like him? Erg I'm nervous lol
April 24, 2013
Thanks so much! Goodluck with seeing Dr C! He is such a nice guy, takes his time and explains everything, so my advice would be to just write down what you what changed, so when you are talking to him, you have pointers in case you forget bc you get swept away by the convo, I def brought up more things in the preop but that was primarily about the boobs. Nose he basically said right away what he thought I should have done, before I could even say anything, but it was EVERYTHING i had already thought, and he stressed on subtlety so to me that seemed pretty good. I guess I will only know once its done! :-) Ill let you know how the surgery goes next week.
April 24, 2013
oh and I quickly looked at your profile page, you are beautiful too! I am getting septoplasty also, my sinuses were really bad this year so hopefully it helps!
