I've wanted bigger breasts from as far back as I...

I've wanted bigger breasts from as far back as I can remember. I was always very petite as a teen and even as I was approaching young adulthood I never really filled out in the typical areas that most women fill out in. I consider myself to be very fit and I lift weights on a regular basis to assist with a more shapely figure. Even though I am petite I have always had a full, round butt and my weight training has helped me achieve what most people consider to be a "perfect" butt. Unfortunately, lifting weights shrinks your boobs and doesn't help them "grow" like it does for the glutes. This makes me want boobs even more now to even out my figure and feel more womanly. I have always been really self conscious of my breasts but thanks to push up/padded bras, I was able to put off having a breast augmentation due to the fact that I could hide my true size from the world behind these "miracle" bras. As I get older, I just want to feel more womanly instead of constantly feeling like I'm stuck in a 16 year old's body. After I graduated from college, I continued my research on breast augmentations and doctors. I stumbled upon Dr. Bauer from the Swan Center for Plastic Surgery again and I decided to book a virtual consultation. So far I am very pleased with the level of service the staff at the Swan Center offer and the vibe that I get from Dr. Bauer. I feel comfortable going through with the procedure. Since I am flying in for my surgery, my pre-op appointment is scheduled for the day before my surgery. I was told that the Swan Center has the largest inventory of breast implants in the Atlanta area so I am hoping that I can find the perfect pair of implants to suit my body frame and size. Dr. Bauer has already said that he recommends I have silicone implants via the inframammary fold and under the muscle. I'm really excited to try on the different size implants in my next consultation. I'm hoping for 250-300ccs but we will see what the doc recommends. I'll keep you all posted!

My stats are as follows:
- 105 lbs
- 5'2"
- 32AA hoping to be 32C

Wish Boobs!

I can't get enough of Instagram and YouTube celeb Sophia Miacova...the girl is just gorgeous! I'm pretty certain she had a breast augmentation about a year ago and her boobs look amazing. Even though she's 5'6" and I'm 5'2", she has the same build as I do so I am hoping to have similar results.

On my way to have my surgery!!

I'm on my way to my appointment for surgery at 6am this morning. I'm not sure what time my surgery is scheduled for exactly but 6:30 am was the time I was told to be there. I've been busy running around the past few days getting things ready for this day and it's finally here! I've got my nightstand setup with all of my post-op necessities, cleaned and disinfected the house I'm staying at while visiting Atlanta, and bought a wedge pillow and extra pillows for upright support in bed. I don't know if I'm having a delay of nerves or if I'm just so excited to have boobs that I'm just not nervous at all. What I'm nervous about is the pain after but I'm hoping it's tolerable.

Yesterday I had my pre-op appointment and I decided on Mentor silicone smooth moderate plus profile implants. I chose the 275 cc implants after trying on 250ccs, 275ccs and 300ccs. The 250ccs didn't have enough upper pole fullness and looked a bit like a ball sitting on my chest. The 275ccs gave me a nice contoured look at the top, which is what I wanted to achieve the natural sloped look of breasts. The 300ccs had too much upper pole fulless. Dr. Bauer chose all of the implants in the range (250-300) and profile (moderate plus) that I wanted based on my research. He went off of the pictures I gave him of my wish boobs. Because we are on the same page, I know I will be happy with my results. Dr. Bauer is so sweet, along with his staff, and he is really confident in his work which makes me feel like I'm in the right hands.

He mentioned yesterday that he is going under the muscle and using deep sutures as an anchor so that my implants don't drop below my crease and I don't experience bottoming out. It sounds painful but I hope it's worth it.

I can't wait to update you all and post some post-op pictures when I am somewhat functional again. Wish me luck ya'll :)

I'm really happy with my breast augmentation results so far. It's going on 4 months since my surgery and I'm blown away everyday by how natural yet full my breasts look. Because I'm petite I didn't have to go very big to add some size to my chest...I chose 275cc moderate profile implants from the selection of sizes Dr. Bauer recommended. I did have a few complications in the beginning due to my petite size and lack of breast tissue but Dr. Bauer's recommendations have helped the issues subside. I felt very comfortable leading up to the day of surgery which was unusual seeing as I have always been afraid of going under the knife. The staff at the Swan Center are all very nice and knowledgeable. The facility is very nice, almost feels like a upscale hotel. My only issue was getting the expected level of attention I needed during the first few months when I was going through complications. I am an overseas patient and the Skype sessions were almost impossible for them to coordinate and I felt like my appointments were rushed. I guess it just goes to show Dr. Bauer is a busy guy and of great demand because of how great he is at his job.
