I have been thinking about BA for a while. I was so excited this spring to go for it, but my job puts everything on hold, it drives me crazy. I am tall 5 10 and only 115 pound, so my body is crying for a boobs. Never had boobs. I am nervous if I will be able get implants because of my low body index. Can you explain me more what to ask PS about implants.............I don't know where to start. What is high profile? I don't want look like many pictures I see here, that boobs way up close to clavicle...I will feel devastated. I like to get more natural look. help please.....need some encouragement from you here.

1 - everyone always knows that you will have implants, so get over it, actually most people think its cool that you decided to do it. High profile looks really good. 2 - medically, under the muscle, silicon, under the crease is good. 3 - since you probably have done sports, you know about "go big or go home" same applies here as the most common complaint is "I thought they would be bigger" - actually know a number of girls who went back and got bigger ones. 4 - recovery varies - some girls get going in a few days and others take a while. 5 - get test implants and wear different sizes to see what works for you

Hi Ali, I'm 45 and got mine done a year ago. I'm talk and tub as well. I'm 5'10 but weight 145. I have an athletic build and didn't want to look like I had bolt ons. I went with 400cc's which is big for some but not on me because of my height. I also got moderate profile because being my age and confident with my physique I went with moderate profile. Since you are so thin (115 is tiny). I would actually go with a smaller implant...say in the 300 range. You'll also have too how your breast bone measures, if your nipples flare out to the side or point straight ahead, and also what will fit your chest wall. I dint believe in the "go big or go home" statement. It's not true that "everyone" will know that your breasts are augmented. I think high profile does not suit everyone, and that too much upper pole fullness on a woman's breast IS what makes them look fake. I got Sientra annitomicals. They have a nice natural slope to them and people didn't even notice that my breasts weren't natural. Anyone who askes that anyway is disrespectful. After all, it's not the boobs that make the woman, it's the woman that makes the boobs. You sound like the perfect body description for Sientra annitomicals. Only certified PS's can use them. It's a major surgery so ask your surgeon a ton of questions, and pick the size that's right for you (don't let your Dr. pick) it's your body and you'll have to live with it. Good luck to you in whatever you decide. I hope my 2 cents helps. :)

thank you for your comment. Forgive me for some typo here, English is not my fist language. So Its happening...I called yesterday well known surgeon in NJ they booked my for consult. on August 24, but...surprise they called me today if I can come tomorrow because someone canceled appointment so I did not hesitate and GOING TOMOROW to see him. I think also I would go for moderate profile. What makes so nervous is tiny torso I hope I qualify for implants. I am not the person who is obsessed with implants but I got to the point why not. My body needs boobs so I can feel good about myself. simple as that...so I will find out more tomorrow. I hope good news...

Smart phone typing is a drag. It should say "I'm tall and thin as well"

Hi ali, here is an important list of questions to ask your doctor during your consult. Try not to be nervous....you're interviewing them. Be sure to get another consult so you can compare the various suggestions and approaches. Another helpful idea is to bring some "wish boob photos" with you so the doctor has an idea of the look you are seeking. Let us know how it goes!
