Visitors' Stories -- Chi (page 2 of 5) I married an awesome man who loved me exactly the way I was. He confessed to be a "butt man" and never seemed to notice that I did not have a lot of breast tissue. Even though he was so supportive and oblivious to boobs, I felt so un-sexy in front of him. I talked with him about BA and we discussed the pros and cons. The bottom line was that he would support me with whatever decision I made because he wanted me to be happy. I decided to have the BA when I found a plastic surgeon who I trusted and respected, my spouse supported me 100%, and after I dialoged with many women who had already had the BA or were still in the process of deciding on Nicole's implant info website. I learned that all kinds of women get BAs, such as dancers, teachers, doctors, mothers, and nurses. I looked in Nicole's FAQ section on capsular contracture (CC) and fortuitously, I found a surgeon in my area, Dr. Mladick, who uses the "No Touch" method which may help reduce the risk of CC. He has performed over 5,000 BAs! I sent an e-mail to his website inquiring about BA. I made a consultation appointment and I met him a month later. During my visit, he explained the procedure in detail, measured me, and we discussed potential size. I took a close and trusted friend, "Brianna" with me to the appointment because I wanted her opinion about the doctor and the clinic. My husband was unable to go to the consult because he was out of the country at the time, otherwise, he would have gone, too. I am so glad Brianna went with me because she has had surgery before so she knew questions to ask that I would not have known since I have never had any kind of surgery (i.e., my wisdom teeth were pulled with just a little numbing). I did not have a choice for over or under placement and silicone versus saline because Dr. Mladick only does under the muscle placement with saline. The consult took about two hours in which the first half-hour consisted of me filling out forms and watching a short video about BA. The rest of the consult consisted of the BA procedure being explained and then my beasts were measured. After the consult, I made appointments for the pre-op and the surgery, which were about a month away. It was confirmed, I was going to get boobies! I had to test the waters, though. Thus, I went to Nicole's FAQ section and I found how to measure rice to equivocate the amount of ccs. I put the measured rice in panty hose and wore it in my bra for a least a month! No one seemed to notice that I was now a C from an A cup. I also wore baggy tops, so that helped conceal the grain boobs, too. I have a circle of friends who I did not want them to know because some of them would tell other people and I did not want people coming to check out my new rack. My parents do not know yet because they live in another country and I did not want them worrying about the surgery. I will probably tell them later or I may see if they notice. I reserve the right to choose whom I confide in. |
