Mae's Story

I've never had breasts. Nothing at all. I have always been interested in having a breast augmentation, but I was really scared of all of the "what-ifs." Throughout college I always wished I could wear the tube tops all of my friends wore during summer or the nice triangle top bikini's. I was very self-conscious about my breasts and truly unhappy with my appearance

After I graduated from college, I began to seriously think about getting a BA. I decided to see a plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure and if it was something I wanted to do. I found a wonderful PS in my hometown and I felt extremely comfortable with him. He was very experienced and showed me pictures of his work. I decided right there and then to go for it! I booked my surgery and left the office elated! I couldn't believe that I was finally doing it!

After a few days, reality hit.... I was going to have surgery! I felt a rush of emotion; I was scared, nervous, anxious.... everything all at once. I didn't know what to do or who to turn to... I feel sooooo very fortunate to have found the BI411 site! There is such wonderful information here that was very helpful to me the months before my surgery. I researched on the size and kind of implant I wanted, I looked at before and after photos, but most importantly, I found the BI411 forum! The forum was truly a lifesaver! I was able to ask questions and speak to ladies that had done what I was about to endure.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was the BIG day! I arrived at the doctor's office, a bit nervous, but ready for what was about to come. I don't remember much of the surgery day because I was pretty much out of it, but I know that I was very happy! It's been 6 months since my operation and the only thing I regret is not doing this sooner. I feel so much better about myself and I actually look forward to tank top season!
