I have always been flat-chested, always wished for...
WORTH IT$8,200
I have always been flat-chested, always wished for BA, but husband is completely against it, although he says I can do whatever I want. Finally got the courage to do something for myself. I blame it on midlife crisis! Haha!
I am 40 yrs old, 5'2", 105 lbs. Pre-BA bra size 32AA, flat as a board.
I wanted to be conservative and didn't want people to notice. My doctor is also conservative, I think. We decided on 255cc anatomical, textured, silicone implants by Allergan Natrelle 410 style.
My surgery went very well, the first two days were the hardest, but never really had pain, just discomfort. I took 1 Percocet every 5 hrs as a precaution, for the first two days. Did not have nausea or constipation.
At four days post op, we spent the weekend with my in-laws. I had full range of motion by then. They did not suspect a thing!

First bikini at 40!
My kids always wondered why I never joined them in the pool. I just say I hate the water. In reality, I hate putting on a swimsuit because I am so flat, nothing looks good. It was so depressing. Even if I put pads on them. But today, I played with them in the pool! Had a blast! I was able to swim without any discomfort. I did feel a sharp tug near the armpit area when I tried to reach up to catch a ball while playing monkey in the middle.
I hope you do not think I'm too old to put on a swimsuit!

Oh wow me at the age of 31 can only wish to look as good as you do right now. Stunning wow!

Thank you for your kind words! You look amazing, so coming from you, that means a lot! :-)

Congrats! I have the same implant style, a little bigger (335cc) as I am 5'8 and 135lbs. I have been so happy with my new look and can see you are too! Just wanted to say you look amazing and I am glad you are feeling great. I really didn't know what to expect with this implant, it was suggested by my PS as my best option. I am so glad I trusted him. I am not a big fan of the round look. Maybe it's my age (42) that I didn't want to look too trendy...more classic and subtle and proportional. Enjoy the bikinis and bra shopping! So fun to dress them up and take them out!

Thank you for leaving me a note! So glad to meet other ladies with same implant. I think we are an elite group. ;-) Hahaha! I was so worried about potential complications that I was determined to pick the best implants money can buy. :-) I checked your profile, and you are looking so good and so proportional!

hey! thats great about going swimming with your kids :D I dont have children but totally get the not going swimming thing. im so glad I found someone who has had anatomicals, as i have arranged to have these although i just dont know. i have no lower pole fullness which will all be created by the implant. a lot of surgeons seem against the anatomicals though. how did you decide to have them? was it the surgeons suggestion or your choice? x

Hi, pocket123!
I was very flat, so I was really worried that the implants will look like melon ball halves stuck to my chest. So when I saw these anatomical shaped implants, I thought these will ensure I will have a more natural shape. I asked for it, even though it cost about $1000 more than regular round silicon. I also saw it is FDA approved, and textured, and they have studies showing less incidence of capsular contracture. At that time I did not know about dangers of them turning. Now that I have them, my only thought is that maybe with these formed implants, the surgeons have to be more careful about dissecting and creating a pocket where the implant fits just right, since the implants are formed and fits only one way. Does that make sense? So I think not many surgeons are trained to do it. Anyway, now I am also realizing that maybe there really is not much difference on how they look after you implant them under muscle. I've seen an illustration where the round silicone implants end up looking like the anatomical if you hold it vertically and let gravity do it's work. In conclusion, :-) I do not have strong feelings for or against it. I will probably rely on what the surgeon is used to using, and whatever they suggest.

You look great! I just had the exact implants done in 335cc. I can't wait to look as good as you in 3 months.

Size blues. Six weeks post-op
I admit it: I am not happy with the size I am now. The 255cc did not take me far. I did not do my research and did not have wish boobs in mind. All I thought I wanted was not to wear padding under my bra. But the cute bras I found at VS make me look so flat under all the clothes. Sad face. At two weeks post op, I measured 32D at VS, at four weeks, only 32C. We all know VS does vanity sizing, so in reality, I am only a 34B. My post op pics look like other people's pre op pics. Haha!
Another thing I'm down about, are the incisions. They are very visible still. I'm really hoping my boobs will drop more to cover them up some. *sigh

I think you look great! I went with 275cc ... got them yesterday. Haven't uncovered them yet. I don't think you should regret the size. You are proportional.
August 13, 2014
Thank you so much for leaving me a note, and for your kind words. Makes me feel better. :-)
August 13, 2014
You looK great!! Sorry about your disappointment. Do you think you'll want a revision? In still curious as to what size I end up with.
August 13, 2014
I think you look great!!! We can be our toughest critic but from an outside point of view you look great. Can I ask what profile your implant is as in mod or hp?
August 13, 2014
Thank you, Fairy May! I have the 410MF Style. I looked it up, it means Moderate height, Full projection. I pasted the link below so you can look yours up. I think the link does not work, however, but maybe you can copy and paste it in your browser.

Here in the US, looks like we name them 410MF, 410FF, etc. But it is very helpful to check it out because then you can compare implant dimensions and have a more informed decision. I'm guessing your MX is the FF here.
I hope this helps. Keep me posted!
August 13, 2014
Oh, I think you should choose the 290MX. It is same projection as mine (4.6cm), but taller (Ht 10.6cm VS 12cm), which would make it better choice for you since you are 5in taller. My opinion. :-) Good luck!

We are defiantly our own worst critic! You look great.. I had boob freed before and still. I'm sure in a few months you'll be happy. You look great lady!
