Breast Implants: Stories

Hey guys! Well I'm not exactly new here. I found...

Hey guys! Well I'm not exactly new here. I found this site a few weeks back and I have been following everyone's story! Including the good the bad and the ugly! I am in the Tampa Florida area by the way!. I am 22 years old turning 23 in a few months and then 20 days after my birthday I am getting my boobs! I am 5"4 115 pounds and between a AA and an A. To the people who think they are completely flat chested. You guys haven't seen flat until you have seen me! I'm like a boy! Anyways I scheduled a few consultations about two weeks ago and I went with my first dr. Dr Eberbach. I got a lot of recommendations from many people I work with . Him and his staff were pretty awesome and his office had a 3D photo taker! So my boobs were put on the computer and they played with sizing. My desired result is a Full C small D. I don't want anything to huge and unnatural. And luckily I do have enough breast tissue to cover a 415ccs silicone! He said any bigger would be a very bad idea! So I've done sooooooo much research the past few months and I have sooooo many boobs on my phone. I have the boobs I want and the boobs the scare the crap out of me! apparently he has to lower my almost none existent breast crease so I'm afraid of the double bubble. Also my frame is way too small for moderate implants so I have to do high profile. Which I hope doesn't look to unnatural. And I wanted to to a arieolar(excuse my spelling) incision but he told me I will get a higher chance of capsular contraction because milk glands contain bacteria. Oh and thank goodness he us using the Keller funnel so my incision, which will be under the boob, will be as small as a saline incision! If you don't know what a Keller funnel is look it up on YouTube! It's freaking awesome! Anyways I know it's four months from now but I'm sure I will have plenty things to talk about :)

So I have a few worries about this surgery. I was...

So I have a few worries about this surgery. I was wondering if a lot of females got stretch marks from implants. I'm asking the girls who started from nothing. My family is really prone to stretch marks. And me. Also my doctor told me he has to lower my breast crease. Have a lot of you had that done and got any symptoms of the double bubble?

So I know a lot of people are good money wise for...

So I know a lot of people are good money wise for getting a breast augmentation. But for you get people like me , money can sorta be a issue. So what I did was instead of planning my surgery right after consultation, I made it a later date so I knew for sure I could afford it. I got my calculator out and I divided my income up and included the payments I was already making and set myself a budget. So every week I put the amount of money I need into a saving account to reach that goal and I leave enough money for myself to live off of. Of course if you are trying to save money it is unwise to splurge and go clothes shopping and go out to eat everyday of the week. Only use the money you need. you can splurge on your boobs after the surgery!!!!!

EBAY! eBay is my favorite thing right now because I just sold a bunch of unwanted and unused items and I made about 400 bucks in two weeks doing that. Now 400 isn't a lot but still, I think every dollar counts toward your goal. So sell stuff like unused electronics or clothes. I sold a bombshell bra for 15 bucks and unused hair extensions for 80. People will buy anything. Plus if its around the house collecting dust then why not do something with it.

Platos closet. I don't know if everybody had this store around them or not but this is a nice store to sell clean stylish clothes that you have really worn. So far I have cleaned out my closet and I have almost two bags of clothes that I can get something for. Also if you have clothes that you can't sell but it is nice and clean and still wearable you can always donate it instead of throwing it out. Donating for me always makes me feel good and happy that I'm giving clothes to someone who can't really afford nice things. :)

Ok last thing!! If your birthday is coming up! Plan your surgery after your birthday. I'm pretty sure you can convince your friends to give you cash or Victoria secret gift cards! That's what I'm hoping for! Lol

I hope this helped a few people!!!!!! - love me

sorry for any spelling errors! i cant fix them! I said for you younger people like me ! oops

So I had a funny dream last night about having my surgery. I dreamt the day finally came and I went to the doctors house. Not his office and a football game was playing. So his friends were all over and it was weird. So he set me on the table and there was a big flat screen tv over it and he was going to watch it as he did my surgery! So he put me out but sadly I still was aware and he cut into my boobs and lowered my pockets and did who knows what. He didn't put the implants in. So then he woke me up and sent me home telling me to come back later for the implants! Dreams are so weird!!!!

So I have 3 months left and it's creeping up...

So I have 3 months left and it's creeping up pretty fast. I have a few questions for people who have already got the surgery done! for recovery and sleep was it better to use a recliner or a lounge pillow for the bed. and I am going high profile! How natural would you say it looks on your body?

Well I changed my date to two weeks sooner so now...

Well I changed my date to two weeks sooner so now it's coming really fast. Also I posted a few new pictures so you guys can get more perspective on how small my boobs are lol. I swear I'm not trying to be ridiculous with the nipple coverings. I guess it makes me feel better about posting my boobs online. Oh i have been using the tanning salon to get my breast evenly tan so they are not snow white while the rest of my body is dark. it just looks funny when i see the difference. you can see the little heart tanning sticker on my boob to track my tanning progress :p...Anyways I didn't realize how different my boobs are. One nipple is definitely higher than the other and one is larger than the other so I'm guessing I will need different size cc implants placed in. Also I can't decide between nipple or inframammary incisions. I rather do a areolar incision to hide the scar better and I think it looks all around better. I guess I am more worried about the scar underneath .than again I am worried about losing feeling in the nipples. I guess I need advice from both sides.

Hey guys well my date is almost in a month. So...

Hey guys well my date is almost in a month. So excited. I have a little concern though, I'm on birth control and my breast have grown a lot the past month! I mean I still am in a A cup but before i didn't fill a A cup and now I'm almost overflowing an a cup. My point is , will that effect the sizing of my breast? I guess I'm nervous that after I get my boob job and for some reason I stop taking b/c I'm nervous that my breast will shrink over the implant and it will look ridiculous lol! I know it's a silly thought. But maybe I should be greatful for the extra tissue cuz now I will have more boob over the implants and it will look more natural. O well! Let me know if any of you are the same way !!

Ok so I know I'm going to have a lot of bras that...

Ok so I know I'm going to have a lot of bras that I won't need anymore and I really felt bad about thinking of throwing them out. So I called goodwill and they will take gently used bras ! So now I can give my bras to someone in need!

Soooo, today i will be applying for my loan, I...

Soooo, today i will be applying for my loan, I almost want to just skip the loan and pay everything at once and start saving again! but i know i can pay it off really fast. Anyways, of course I have been flip flopping on my decision, asking myself am I a Greedy girl to be buying this for myself and will this make me to confident and make me a cocky person? I guess i do feel greedy and feel bad about it sometimes but then i think forward in my life and i realize this is the best time to do this. No boyfriend, No kids, No serious payments yet, and getting my job life on track. And about the Egotistical thing, i feel awkward enough wearing shorts that are too short or dresses or skirts, so i think i wont be showing my boobs off!

Oh, and in Stores like victorias secret, I wouldn't even glance at the bras because i knew they would not fit me, I went straight for the panties! I cant wait for the change, I will go straight to the bra section now, I mean I already am oogling bras that i will wear once I know my size :)

Forgot to mention, I bought a 36,C danskin bra...

Forgot to mention, I bought a 36,C danskin bra from walmart, im a 32 A so lets hope it will work, I got bio oil and I have been rubbing that on my chest so my skin wont be as prone to stretch marks, and I was having fun on Ebay and i got two front closure hanes 34 band sports bra, it said nothing about the cup size so hopefully i wont have to tuck my boobs in like a putting a big pillow in a pillow case ;)...will update later of my pre op which is coming up on the 21st! cya then!

Pre op was today.

So my pre op went well. We are going with 425 ccs which will bring me up more then two cup sizes from a Small A to probably a large C or a small D

I was given a list of my prescriptions

Percocet- for pain
Zodran- for Nausea/ also a patch to stick behind my ear for before surgery and 72 hours after surgery
Restoril- for sleep if I can't fall asleep
Valium-for muscle spasms


Things I need to buy for home is compression knee high socks and just stuff like multivitamins and sports bra which I have. I am not allowed to do anything for the first 2 days of course. I am not allowed to raise my arms over my head too long, but I am allowed to brush my hair. So all if that normal boob stuff lol. I am not required to wear a bra though. That is just for comfort. And I'm glad I can still take my birth control even though I know my medicine will mess it up .

Also I can shower the day after surgery.

So yea final payments were made. I really can't believe I have less then two more weeks with these boobs. I think I am in shock and I will start freaking out the night before. I guess we will see. Ta-ta fellow boob bloggers.

Great review?

Thanks for your tips on making a little extra $$$ for surgery. I ended up taking out a small loan for mine, but any extra money would be helpful I'm sure. I especially liked your suggestion about scheduling it close to your birthday! Great idea! My BA is also set for June (the 13th). Regarding the incision location, the surgery consultant I met with last week said the doctor would only do an areolar incision if I get a saline implant. Are you getting saline? Every doc is different so it could also be doctor preference.
Themoonlitpth 16 Apr 2013
I am getting silicone under the muscle. And around 400ccs . The incision won't be huge because my doctor is using a Keller funnel. My doctor said he can do the nipple incision but he does specialize in the infrmammary so it's a really hard decision. but yea I did make a lot of extra cash plus my tax return . I already put 1200 into it so now I just owe 4000. Which is really nice . But I'm doing the same I'm saving up a lot and I will be getting a loan and its going to be 3% interest which is great because my bank said if I have the same amount in my saving as the loan then the interest is really low . I also was scheduled the 17 but I changed it to the June 3rd because I'm too antsy
InkedBeauty 16 Apr 2013
And thanks for mentioning the Keller funnel. After I saw it mentioned in your original post, I had to Google it and do some research and I've added it to my list of questions to ask my doc. You got a really great deal on interest!! 3%?! I'm disappointed now because my loan interest ended up being 8%, I think. Maybe I'll ask my bank about interest rates and see if I can pay one off with the other so I'll have a lower interest rate. Honestly, I wish I could change my BA to sometime in May! But I have so many prior engagements that I wouldn't be able to fit in a recovery week.
Themoonlitpth 16 Apr 2013
Yea the Keller is really neat isn't it. I'm so happy because it means my insicion is going to be a lot smaller. I wanted to do may also but I decided June will be best because its right after my birthday ;)
InkedBeauty 16 Apr 2013
My birthday isn't till August... and I just don't want to wait that long! lol.
am.sknr 23 Apr 2013
My scheduled date is 8/8.. seems forever away!

Hi! I just wanted to write here and tell you girls that I am getting my BA in June too. I've been on this site for months now, patiently watching others before and then after their surgeries. It is so nice to finally find some girls getting theirs in the same month as me :) And it's so nice that June is approaching!
Chloe003 24 Apr 2013
My surgery is also on June 3rd!:)
InkedBeauty 24 Apr 2013
Yay! June boobies! This is so exciting! :-)
Themoonlitpth 24 Apr 2013
It's coming so soon to. Butterflies already. Have any of you bought supplies yet? I got a bra from Walmart . Front closure but it was a 38 band. Way to loose so now I need to get my lazy but to go switch them out . I'm thinking of just knocking 3 birds with one stone and getting the bio oil and the scar strips at the same time and oh!!!!! eBay sells front closure surgery bras brand new. And pretty damn cheap too lol
InkedBeauty 24 Apr 2013
I haven't bought any supplies yet, but I've assembled a list based on other women's reviews. I guess I'm waiting for my pre-op before getting anything. I was at Target yesterday and saw some front closure bras and thought about getting a few, but I wouldn't even know what size to get! Lol.
Chloe003 25 Apr 2013
I haven't bought anything yet either... I need to start working on a list. I actually go to my consult today so I'm very early in the process. I went ahead and booked a surgery date because the Dr I want to go to is super busy. So wish me luck today!:) Kinda wishing I would have done this in the winter vs summer when I could hide them a little easier. Lol oh well!
InkedBeauty 25 Apr 2013
I hear you on the summer v. winter bit. I live in Fla and am the outdoorsy type, so it's going to be a tough couple of months post-op when all of my friends are going kayaking and swimming and I'm holed up at home and out of the sun. One thing I've been thinking about getting is a rash guard that surfers use. I think it'll give me enough coverage so that I might be able to go in the sun (depending on my doctor's recommendations of course).
Themoonlitpth 25 Apr 2013
I'm sure you can go in the sun. One review asked about tanning beds and implants and the doctor said as long as the incisions are covered .
Morgan_Willow 9 Mar 2013
I'm 3 months away also...June 12. I am doing the same as you and paying cash. My credit stinks so I knew I wouldn't qualify for financing....that is one reason my surgery was set so far out....I've been stashing money and making payments as I go. My other reasin is i will be done with college classes (for a while) dont want to have to worry about classes and assignments while recovering. Good luck!!
Themoonlitpth 9 Mar 2013
Yea I made sure I planned after classes. And it's not that I have bad credit . I don't have any credit. So I'm actually going to use this opportunity to get my credit started

I am scheduled for June 26th. I made the appt for my tummy tuck and told the surgeon I also wanted a ba. She attempted to talk me out of it and said we would discuss it more later. There is no doubt, I'm doing it. I see her again on march 19 th and will get more specifics. I know for sure I'm getting saline on top of the muscle. Surgeon had told me she just removed a pair of the highly cohesive implants and it was a gelatinous mess. Then I watched a you tube video of them being removed from rupturing, not pretty. I am going over the muscle because I do not want the distortion from when the pectoral muscles flex.
Themoonlitpth 9 Mar 2013
There is no way I could do it over the muscle. I don't have enough tissue for it. And why is your surgeon discouraging you? You would think they would go for it.
Walkere7 9 Mar 2013
She is a very honest straight forward person, which is good. She was like, " yes, you have small breast, but they're nice". She stated she gets many women in their 40s and 50s who want them taken out, not because there is anything wrong with them, just that it was fun, but now that time is over. Since I'm in my early 30s she thinks I'm already half way there to wanting them out.
Sharon9527 8 Mar 2013
I did it the same way u are I started saving in October and set up a budget for myself in an excel spreadsheet I have been saving and not doing any shopping the time will fly by I have been waiting since sept now my surgery is in 3 weeks !!
Themoonlitpth 9 Mar 2013
It's coming up fast :)!
mama chichi 4 Mar 2013
OMG - me too! Having dreams about flying all the way to Jo-burg and then hearing a subconscious conversation whilst under on the operating table as to the PS not having my exact implant , but he thinks that ...'these would do.' Other dreams about it going horribly wrong - and all the nay-sayers saying 'I told you so', and 'you had such nice boobs before [you did this]'.
Xmasbabe 3 Mar 2013
Dang that dream was weird..I haven't had any so far..I've been so busy lately don't even have time to do research..lol
Stazia 28 Feb 2013
hahah awesome, ive had plenty already! My surgery is in 5 days and they are happening pretty much every night now. Last night I had a dream (this time a bad one) that once I woke up from surgery my boobs were deformed. One was way bigger than the other and my skin for some reasons was soo loose and the smaller boob was shaped awkwardly, not rounded...more like diamond lol and im also getting lipo in my abdomen so in my dream my belly was smaller but it was so uneven and lumpy........lets just say I was NOT happy with my dreams last night, woke up with my heart racing while im grabbing my tiny boobs lol.
Themoonlitpth 28 Feb 2013
Yea that would scare me! I have 3 1/2 months so I'm sure it's not going to be the last!
