So I am a size 34AA, it is very embarrassing and upsetting not being able to fit into clothes, bathing suits, etc. Always was holding out that I would get boobs when I get older but I'm 23 y.o. now and don't think it is gonna happen naturally at this point. I had my consultation yesterday and was extremely pleased. I am newly single and I think this will be a fresh new start for me. I am going to go from my AA to a mid C, I haven't set an actual date yet but I am thinking I will do it around end of May after I finish my BSN and go on a rafting trip I want to go on. I am a little nervous about it but I honestly think this is the best thing for me in my life, it will enhance my self-confidence and help me with my body image. I want to feel comfortable in my body before I date anybody again. Last time I dated somebody, I was really embarrassed to show him my boob, he didn't care about the size but deep down inside it is not sexy feeling at all. I have done a lot of research on this so far and I hope I don't have any complications from this.

Hi Countrygirl6789, I got my consultation last monday and it went well too, and I've been doing research for months and I already booked my surgery on April 1st and my pre-op is on March 4th, so follow my story if you think it's helpful for you. I'm glad to see there's alot of candidates at my age like you too.

270 ccs ???
So after looking at peoples reviews and looking at pictures it reminded me that my surgeon only wanted to do about 270ccs of saline in mine. It seems like almost everybody has 300+ for theirs. I don't want to spend this much and not get exactly what I want. I am thinking about calling them back and asking to talk about this because I just don't know if that is what I want... I mean I want BOOBS not just the bare minimum of boobs. At this point I am still trying to make sure I can get off work for at least 2 weeks for the procedure.

Be very careful of Vic's. base it on your size and bwd. I got 170cc mod under silicones and measuring a 32dd I am swollen. Maybe go down to a big c. And this is from a 32 aa. Small skinny show a lot of ccs

From what I read, most of us go through the same worry about the size. I am always looking at pictures to compare, but it's hard since everyone is different. My doctor said he'll be using temporary sizers to make sure I achieve my desired size.

don't do it! you have beautifully shaped lovely small breasts. I have had 2 reoperations since my breast implants, due to capsular contracture. They don't look natural and won't feel natural and you will need to reoperate several times during your adult life. Dont do it!!! I wish I hadn't . And now small breasts are back in style!

My PS initially recommended 240, 260, or 280 - he would not go over 300 with me. I'd been thinking of 350s and really leaning toward 325s based on a different consultation I'd gone to. While trying on the different sizers, I was surprised how nice the 260s looked, but I was nervous that I'd wish I had gone bigger so I chose the 300s. Did you get a chance to "play" with the different size implants and get an idea of what your results might be? It won't be 100% accurate, but at least give you a ballpark. And I'd suggest that if you really aren't sure about your PS's recommendations, don't hesitate to ask questions about the rationale. One other thing, pretty much everyone I know who'd had implants had gotten at least 350, so I was a little surprised with the low #s my PS recommended. As I looked through pics online, I found that the # by itself doesn't always tell the whole story - I'd find pics of women close to my size who had 250s and looked huge as well as similar-size women who got 500ccs and looked completely proportional! Hopefully you can mesh your goals with your PS's professional opinion for a result you'll be thrilled with! :) As for hoping to not have any complications, that was my biggest worry pre-op. It's still a concern, for sure, but no longer at the forefront of my mind. I'm too busy enjoying (finally!!) having boobs to spend the time worrying about it. It's a risk you have to accept when you decide to have the surgery, and once it's done I guess all you can really do is enjoy 'em 'til you can't! My friends who've gotten implants (all have had saline) have had 'em between 6 and 11 years with no problems at all. Good luck with whatever you decide! :)

So I scheduled my surgery date for May 21st and my Pre-Op is May 2nd !! I still have a few questions I want to get figured out and am waiting on somebody to call me back but I went ahead and scheduled my surgery date so I can secure it. I should be able to get all the days off I requested for work but if not I am going to have to call off or find somebody to switch with me. I had to put a deposit down of $300 which goes towards my total bill. Hopefully all goes well and I don't have to cancel it for any reason. I am so excited and nervous, can't believe I am actually gonna do it !
