Hello all!! I am a 32 year old mother of 2, my oldest is 13 yrs old and my youngest is 13 months old and was breastfed until about 8 months of age. I've always had very small breasts and a larger frame, wide rib cage, no hourglass type figure...ya know, kinda shaped like a boy! Well, after breastfeeding my tiny boobies are even tinier, if that's possible! I finally decided now that I'm done having children, that I am going to do this for me..to make me feel like a woman, feel sexy again. My husband supports me 100%, probably because he's sick of hearing me complain/talk about it for years. And I'm so grossed out by my boobs that I don't let him see or touch them anymore, it sucks. )-: So I went for a consultation, which I felt like I was gonna throw up the whole time, I was so nervous! And I felt like barfing again when I finally called and scheduled my surgery, I don't know why, my hands were shaking, my mind was racing.
I will have my procedure on the 29th of this month, using 425 cc moderate plus silicone implants with an inframammary incision. I'm nervous that they will be too big and hard looking because I have ZERO breast tissue to start with. I'm not a skinny girl though, 5'6 and 145 lbs so I'm thinking they will even me out, make me more proportionate. I could use some advice from others who have the same size..do you think they're too big, not big enough, are you happy with the look of them, feel of them??? Ahhhh, so many questions..like the title says, I'm freaking out!!! (-:

24 days until surgery and I've had nightmares...

24 days until surgery and I've had nightmares about it the last 3 nights in a row. In every dream, I am in extreme pain and all bandaged up, but when I look down at my boobies they are exactly the same..no change! Haha, hopefully this doesn't go on for the next few weeks, I'm starting to think I'm losing my marbles..and all because of boobies! It's silly, I know! (-:

Judging by your height and weight, I think you have selected a good size. It will probably make you a large C to smallD, but probably full C.
Don't second guess yourself.
Good luck

Thanks for your expert opinion, but I did second guess myself and somehow ended up agreeing on 425 high profile gel implants now. I was dead set on moderate plus profile but my PS said they would be too wide on me in 425 and I should go with only 400. Or I could go 425 if went with HP and still achieve a natural look. I'm trusting him and hope I don't end up with that very round, high fake look! 2 more weeks and we shall see....

I think it is wise to let your surgeon pick the profile. Once you decide on volume, your surgeon should pick the profile which will fit your chest best.
Good luck.
November 15, 2012
Good luck to you. I do know the feeling when you want to go larger and you can't. I had to go up to Ultra high because I wanted larger then 400cc with the High Profile. it all works out and I'm sure you will look amazing.

Freaking out in a good way, I hope? Here's what some doctors say about finding the right size for you. I'm looking forward to reading more as your journey progresses.

Just super nervous, that's all. But still very excited! Thanks for the link, I think I'll try the rice test to help me find the perfect size. And I'm trying to get up the courage to post before pics..baby steps!

Oh my good lord women get a grip on yourself!!!! I look at it one way... Either you want BA or you don't...I went thru the samething with the size. I did not let my surgeon know what size or profile until I was walking down the hallway to get on the table. It's normal. (550cc Ultra high is mine) I went with my first thought and the dr recommended it for me. Look at my profile my breast are perfect for 17 days post op. They are still swollen and dropping... they will fall more and become normal looking. I went 550cc ULTRA HIGH implants. Look at my profile I was as flat as the wall. You will look great really do not stress or you will have complications, just take a zanex or something..lol
I'm glad I was on vacation and the next day after I came home I was in for the BA. You will be just fine really. And don't forget that when you have implants you will loose 25cc or 50cc behind the muscle so if your going with 425cc you will only end up with either 375cc or 400cc. It takes a bit away from your look (under the Muscle) So if your surgeon did not explain that too you already.. I would seek another doctor that is important information you should know. I could only go as large at 550 my surgeon said if i was not happy I could go larger once my skin tissue was stretched out form the 550cc. Now who would do that? I just have to pay for the implants. not to many doctors I know. Check it out!! MY dr Is Doctor Sczcerba in Rosemont he is the best. Look at my photos. And I just had breast tissue taken out of my right breast on a biopsy and they are perfect breasts. He is the only one that touches the implant before it enters my body.. Ask you doctor that question. Really... I did not have on bruise. A good doc. will never leave a bruise on your body. It's all about the surgeon and his SKILLS. Check it out. I hope the best for you and want to keep in touch. good luck..

Thanks sexy49, I have calmed down since my last post. I think I just got so worked up the thought that I'm actually getting boobs..after all these years wishing I had them! I'm starting to get really excited and less scared, can't wait to have big boobies! I think I might even go with 450 now, go big or go home, right??! Lol! P.s, I used to live in Lockport, small world!!
November 8, 2012
I am 5'6" 130lbs and I went with 400cc. I started out with a large A cup and now am a medium to full C. I wish I would have done a little larger. Good luck!
November 9, 2012
Thanks lovinmylife! That's what everyone I know who has had BA says, they wish they would have gone larger! So I'm thinking of actually going with 450 cc's now. We'll see how they look when I go for my pre-op appt and get to try on the implants. I went alone for my consult, but my hubby is going to my pre-op so maybe he can help me decide. I'm getting excited now when I think about it! (-:

You will be fine....I promise! The pain really isn't that bad, ,it is more a feeling of being uncomfortable. Just have all the supplies you need and your sleeping area set up (you will need to sleep propped up to be comfortable) and you will be fin!
November 9, 2012
Its weird, but I'm not even really scared of the pain. If I can push out an almost 10 lb baby with no drugs, this will be a walk in the park! Lol! I'm more worried about spending all that money and time away from my kids and not liking the results I end up with. I've seen some pretty horrible looking boob jobs and I'm afraid that with my luck, I'll end up looking hideous. Its just nerves, my doc does great work and I just need to trust him and stop thinking about it so much! Thanks for the advice klaa!
November 9, 2012
Oh I understand that. I was the same way....I scheduled and cancelled my surgery twice before finally doing it bc I was so indecisive about it.

Shnooks22November 13, 2012
Well, tomorrow is my pre-op appt and it really crept up on me!! It was supposed to be on the 21st but they had to reschedule and tomorrow is the only other day they had available that my husband will be able to make it. He really wants to go, and even though I know he's gonna ask a million ridiculous questions and probably drive me nuts, I said ok. It all feels like it's happening so fast now and I don't think I'm ready! But I'll be ok, and can't wait to have bigger more beautiful boobies...that's what I'm hoping for at least! (-:

Its so funny, yet comforting, to read about your nerves and anxiety about your pre-op appointments because I totally felt the exact same way. I was soo nervous at my initial consultation and again when I went back for my pre-op last week. I have yet to make a commitment on a surgery date because I am freaking out so bad. I called today and made it for the 19th of December but have not put my deposit down.. so technically its not official yet but I think I'm just gunna take the plunge and do it tomorrow so I can stop going back and forth LOL. Can't wait to hear how your pre-op apt. went!
November 15, 2012
When I called to schedule my surgery date, I pick up the phone, started to dial the number and hung up like 50 times! Like I said, my heart was racing and I was going back and forth in my mind..but when I finally did it, it was a relief and I started to feel the excitement. Now with only 2 weeks to go, I'm glad I finally got over my nerves and took that step after soooo many years of wanting this. Just take a deep breath, and call and make that appt.!! I'll keep posting and hopefully my journey and my results will help ease your mind, I know reading a lot of the other ladies reviews on here have certainly helped me!! Good luck!
