I never thought that it would actually happen, but here I am, 16 short days away from having my BA! Don't get me wrong, I have wanted to have a BA ever since I hit puberty and watched all of my friends developing while I was left behind in the dust. I just never thought it would come to pass that my nerves, finances and moral support would all come together at once to make it possible. I feel very fortunate.

Once I decided I was going to have it done, I started looking at who I wanted to do it. I decided on Dr. D'Arcy Honeycutt of Bismark, ND. When I called the office back in November to book a consultation, the receptionist let me know that they were booking into January, but that they just happened to have a cancellation for the following Friday, December 5th. Needless to say I jumped on the chance for the earlier appointment.

Her medical centre is gorgeous. It is completely self contained. The consultations are done there, the procedures are done there, and I think there is even a bit of a spa there. The building is really gorgeous too. It is clean, modern and very well decorated. Another thing that I really loved is the fact that the entire staff is female. Everyone. And honestly if I am going to be half naked in front of strangers, I would rather it be in front of other women.

The consultation was about two hours. I started out with one of the nursing staff Cindy. She was super friendly and very very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of my questions. She went over all of the how/what/why of the procedure as well as the potential complications. We also went over the different implant types, profiles and incision types.

I had gone in hoping to go from my A >> D cup with silicone moderate + implants & and an inframammary incision. Her recommendations were in complete alignment with my hopes on everything but the profile. She advised that with my narrow rib cage, I should go with the high profile. I was a little disappointed that I would be missing out on having sexy side boob, but I would rather have an implant that fits well with my build. She also thought it might be a bit of a stretch to hit the D cup range, but after having boob envy for SO long, I really want a nice full size.

After that, I met Dr. Honeycutt. She came in to do my formal assessment, measurements and take my pre-op pics. She noted that she would be able to help my mismatched breast size by using two different breast implant sizes. For my larger breast we would pick the CC's that I want for my end result, then during my procedure they would use a filler implant to guage the CC's needed to hit the same size. They will be ordering several different sizes to have on hand, and based on the CC's needed to get the filler implant to roughly the same size, they will use that implant for my smaller breast. She did make it clear that there will still likely be some discrepancy as it is pretty much impossible to get them exact, but I know it will be better than what I am working with now. She also noted during my exam that my larger left breast also has some slight tubar disformity characteristics. I had never even heard of such a thing, but she said she will be able to fix that up too. And finally, my left breast is also droopier and sadder looking than my perkier right breast. So, I may need to get a lift on that one. If she decides it is necessary, she will start with a purse string lift if possible, but if it needs more, she will go with the lollipop lift. I am hoping once the implants are in place that the lift won't be necessary, but I also want the best results possible, so if that means I need to lift a little, then I am all for it.

She also didn't think it would be a problem to hit the D cup range either. I have breast fed two children, so it isn't like my skin is tight and taunt. She did say that they can't guarantee a cup size because it is dependant on so many factors, but that we will get in that range. Yay!

Next, Cindy came back in and I was able to try on sizers! That was of course the most fun. We started out at 350cc which looked good, but not as full as I was hoping for. So we kept moving on up. Once we hit 450cc that is when I knew we were in the zone. They looked round, full and perky. Just beautiful.

So we are going for 450cc in my left and then 475/500cc whatever it takes to give me a fairly even end result!

I was so excited that at the end of my consultation, I booked my procedure date, January 29th. My bf was a little freaked out that I was moving so quickly, but I am just too excited to wait. So excited that it is actually happening!!

Here are my stats:
Height - 5'5"
Weight - 127lbs
Band - 34"
Cup - A/B

I am attaching a few very sad pre-op photos. I knew they weren't awesome, but until seeing them in photos, I had no idea that they were SO bad!! Actually they won't load right now, but I will keep trying.

I think that more than covers it for my first post... lol.

Thanks to everyone for your inspiring posts which I have been reading obsessively. Happy healing!!

My because has jokingly said that I have looked at more breasts over the past 3 months than he has looked at in his entire adult life. I am sure it's not true... But I sure have looked at a lot. With my anatomy, I don't know if it will be possible to achieve these kind of results, but a girl has to dream! Here are some of my current faves...
