Hello, my name is Corrine, I live in Phoenix, AZ. and I am 32 years old with a 14 year old son. I had always talked about getting a boob job, but figured I would never have that kind of money to spend on something that was not a necessity.

I was with a guy for 8 years and when we were together he spoiled me except for the part of him being a liar and a cheater and moving in with a friend of mine. We remained somewhat close and I was talking about it again. When we were together he had said if I really wanted one he would get me one, but I thought it would have been selfish of me. Well it was close to my Birthday and Christmas, 12/23 is my b-day. He said here is $5000, make your appointment and get your boobs. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!!!!!

So, I had done some research but not too much, although I was set on getting it done through the belly button. Only 2 Doctors will do that procedure here in Phoenix, So, I made a appt. for both to get a consultation. My deciding factor.....who would do it the soonest! That was Dr. Paul Blumberg,, (he and his staff are wonderful) he sent me a video of the procedure and he had me try on some fakies and we thought 500 cc's would be the right size. I had a week to think about it. My appt was for Jan. 12th so in the meantime I looked for every picture I could find of B/A's that were 500 cc's.

After looking I was starting to think I was going to big, not realizing every body is different in size and frame, and 3 girls will all look so different even with the same CC's. You can pick out the perfect pair in Playboy but rest assured yours will look different. The way your breasts look to begin with will not change they will only be bigger.

I was so nervous the day before, but so excited. On Friday My ex-husband who is the father of my child was here bright and early to pick me up for the 1/2 hour drive to Mesa. I was took right in, Dr. Blumberg came in and marked up my breast and off I was into the operating room. I don't remember a thing up until them saying I would have to sit up for a little while on my own before I could leave.

Next thing I know I was at home, and My Ex, cleaned my house, fed me, watered me, made sure I took my meds and took care of my dogs too! He was sure a godsend, I almost wondered why I left him!! Ha Ha. I pretty much slept the rest of the day and night away. I woke up Saturday and I felt like my nipples had been cut off and my skin was gonna burst apart. No pain in my Belly Button but I was pretty bruised on my tummy. Laid around all day and felt sorry for myself and visited with all my friends who were eager to see!

Sunday was here and "time to take off the ace bandage"! and get in the shower. Dr. Blumberg called to make sure I was doing that. Hardly any pain except for I felt like I had rocks coming out of my neck and my skin was so tight I was almost numb. I felt pretty darn good for it only being almost 2 days. They looked pretty swollen and were very hard for the next 3 weeks. The pain was gone, I only took my pain medication the first two days, after that it was almost painless. Now I am on my way into my 5th month post-op. I wish I would have gone a bit bigger, they look very natural and they have fell into place quite nice. They look and feel natural, I have been very good about doing my massages daily. I am very pleased and wouldn't change it for anything.
