i have always felt for as long as i can remember that i was a skinny, medium boobed girl, trapped in a thinnish small boobed body.
maybe i should start from a more clear point. i have always, at least since i knew what they were, wanted breast implants. i always wanted to have those full gorgeous breasts that victoria's secret models had. i realize that may be somewhat unrealistic, but that's how i have always been.
it was something that i didn't want to do too young in my life and i never wanted to look too fake. i wanted to be more carmen electra than pamela anderson.
well, i am now 27 years old (almost 28) and have decided that this is the year. i am ready to have the body that i have always pictured myself having. the toned, tanned, and larger breast version of my current self.
last thursday i had my first consultation. the doctor was referred to me by a friend who has had hers done and whose boob job i liked. so, i ventured up to 77th street to see dr. neimann. aside from liking his work, there was a major downside. his pricetag was wayyy more than i had in my head that i would be paying, well financing, and much much more than i could possibly ever afford.
in some ways, my first consultation may not have been the best idea. not only can i now not think about hardly anything else except achieving this "perfect" body, but now i also know what is wrong with my currently "less than perfect" breasts. apparently one of them is fuller than the other (not that uncommon). the same one also goes further down my chest and my nipple is higher. so my robo-boob is a little special. i am not entirely surprised that i would have the one boob that has uncommon traits. apparently when your boob falls lower, it rarely has a nipple that sits higher. yay for me. the downside of knowing all of this is that i now obsess over it. i can't look in the mirror without noticing how this one boob sits lower.
in traditional me fashion, with being obsessed with it, i am also convinced that i can find a far better deal. so, after leaving the doctor's office with my lower and fuller boob in tow, i called my mother. i am aware that this may not be a typical mother daughter moment, but we are not a typical mother daughter. instead of trying to dissuade me (as she realizes that this will do nothing other than convince me further to do it), she volunteers to start making calls to her friends to find out which doctors they recommend. my boob job project went from being a new york only idea to a full-fledged US exploration.
after a couple of facebook messages and some stalking of old friends, i now have 4 prospective doctors. 1 in omaha, nebraska, 1 in lake oswego, oregon and 2 in new york. i have now seen 1 of the doctors in new york. i am scheduled to meet the doctor in omaha on friday at 1pm. as for the 2nd new york doctor, i may have found myself a sweet deal. the doctor has offices in new york and wisconsin. i called his new york office and he was going to be the same price as doc 1. so i scheduled a consultation. figure it couldn't hurt at this point. then i called his office in wisconsin. i found out that the procedure there costs roughly $5K less and plane tickets are only $200. and here's the catch that i worked out. i can do my consultation in new york, do the surgery in wisconsin and do the post-op visits in new york.
stay tuned for the result....will report back after the omaha visit.
