Can't Wait for Boobies!!!! – Plano, TX
ORIGINAL POST
I have wanted bigger boobies ever since I could...
$5,799
I have wanted bigger boobies ever since I could remember! I have done a lot of research and watched many you-tube videos on the process of a BA. I had my first consultation yesterday with a Plastic Surgeon (North Texas Plastic Surgery Dr. Obaid) and it went great!
Currently I am:
Age: 27
Height: 5'7 and a half....
Weight: 155lbs
Bra Size: 34C
Dress Size: varies from 8-10
Now about my consultation,
Setting the appointment was super easy and they had appointments that worked around my schedule. All the ladies in the office were very nice and made me feel comfortable. I tried on several different size implants and for right now I feel really good about going with the 500cc, Silicone, under the muscle and incision under the breast fold.
**ADVICE **
Going into my appointment I knew a lot from the research I did on my own. A good piece of advice they shared with me is to go with an implant size that makes you a little bit UNCOMFORTABLE. The reason being is a lot of girls complain after their BA that they "Should have went bigger". This made a lot of sense to me and is why I am debating between 500cc and 550cc. The 500cc makes me uncomfortable just a little bit and the 550 make me real uncomfortable but I still have time to decide.
Another thing they told me which I never heard of was that the profile you get is not decided until you are in surgery. I told them I wanted High Profile implants but they stated everyone's chest cavity is different and they don't know until you are opened up what type of profile will fit best. It makes sense but I was a tad bit disappointed there is a chance I may not get High Profile.
**Really? Rolling Eyes...**
The only thing I didn't like about my consultation is when they brought out the samples of saline vs. silicone. The saline implant they had filled to the max with air like a balloon about to break and a third of water in it.... It looked like it was going to burst at any minute from being over filled with air. If you go online and to you tube there is no example of a saline implants that look like that. I already knew before my consultation I wanted silicone so it wasn’t a big deal to me but for someone who truly does not know what they want I did not like the way they made the comparison. Saline is cheaper than silicone so most Doctors try to push for silicone.
**Wrapping Up **
After I was dressed again Dr. Obaid sat down with me and we went through some pictures of different BA. He mentioned since I have had a child it is a good idea to also get a breast lift since your boobies naturally sag a bit after. I didn’t really agree with this. For me I never breast feed and my boobs are still perky. Looking at the pictures of women who had breast lifts vs. those who have not I like the pictures of the women who have not had a breast lift better. I want to look natural and just really blessed! I like that Dr. Obaid didn’t make me feel pressured about the breast lift and he genuinely wanted to make sure he understood the look I am going for. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable plus he was cuuute.
**Follow Up**
I got a lot of information during my consultation but I didn’t have anything to write it down ? I wish they had some kind of pre-made pamphlets they could give out with just the basic information. They probably do but wait until you book your appointment (?). From what I remember surgery lasts 1 hour and I go home the same day. I can go back to work after 3 days but I’m taking the whole week off anyways. I can’t shower for 2 days, the stiches will absorb, and I can’t go swimming for 2-3 weeks. We went over exercising and surgical bra’s but I can’t remember the time frames on those other than I can’t do yoga for 6 weeks ?
Once I confirm my boyfriend can get the same week off from work I am looking to book for April 9th and I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judgment
Who all do you tell you are having? Has anyone experienced less than supportive friends or family when you told them about the BA? Were you surprised and how did you handle it?
I haven’t told any of my family yet,
One- because I rarely see them so they may not notice a difference
Two- because I don’t want them to worry
Three- I don’t think they would be supportive
My boyfriend knows and he is supportive but some of my friends I have told have been less than excited for me. I was kind of surprised by some of the reactions I got when I shared what was exciting news to me ?
I also have some feelings of guilt. The money I am spending on the BA could help people in my family pay off bills etc… I almost feel like I would be responsible for their “hardships” because I spent the money on myself. I’m still going to go through with the BA I just want to know if anyone else has had the same experiences / feelings

Getting Supplies!
I bought some more bum sweats for surgery and post op ( like i need any more...) I got a small victoria secret catalog in the mail today and it makes me want to go soooo bad! How long do you have to wait after your BA before you can get sized and start buying new stuff? I've never been properly sized so I am thinkging about going to Victoria Secrets tomorrow and finding out. I know if i go I will have a hard time not buying a bra. May-be I could just get a sports bra.
Other than that I bought some Flex straws today but I couldnt find any Arnica Montana. It's supposed to help with swelling and brusing. Has anyone ever tried it?

I have 550s. If you are really conflicted on size get a measuring cup and see for yourself how little difference 50 ccs is. That and making/wearing rice sizers really helped me decide. You should be able to find arnica Montana at walmart or any vitamin shop. I used the cream it was very soothing the first couple of days. Good luck to you!
February 23, 2014
Thanks! Your results look great :) I am worried about getting 500cc because I don't want a hard time finding cute bra's. I need to look up how to do the rice sizers.
February 23, 2014
Oh and you should probably wait at least six weeks to get sized. I got sized at a month but its still pretty uncomfortable to wear a bra and I'm almost two monthspost . Patience is key because they really do take a while to settle in.
February 23, 2014
Lol I am soo impatient! I've been practice massaging them now like its really going to make a difference. Thanks for your advice :)
February 23, 2014
I agree with bp; I got both topical and disovable arnica from the vitamin shoppe. Yes to you on the less than supportive fam, mom and sis didn't have much to say and didn't ask about or comment on mine after. Sigh. Did it for me, tho, not anyone else, so my opinion is the one that matters. Good luck to you! Keep us posted

I have one very unsupportive friend. The whole "you want to be fake?" And "who are you tying to impress" along with sending me pictures of BAs gone wrong. Hard to deal with, but good in the same sense because I know with every big decision you should weigh the positives and negatives. And sometimes you need someone to point them out. And I still really want them so it makes me more sure of my decision!
February 24, 2014
Wow that sucks. I havent had anyone that unsupportive but I havent told many people either. I think a lot of people may just be jealous for whatever reason.
February 23, 2014
If you're getting arnica Hun just get the cream. I asked my ps if I should take arnica Montana tablets and he said if you got a painkiller, put it in a bucket of water and let it dissolve, stir it then get a tiny bit of that water and put it in another bucket of water, stir it etc etc and do that 10 times over, THAT is the strength of an arnica tablet. Barely nothing! Some girls swear by it but it's all if you believe tiny amounts of something work. He did suggest the cream however to help with bruising and swelling apparently it's good! So I got the cream.
I understand how you feel about the guilt bit! I borrowed money from my bank for my ba, and my fam are really struggling tab money have been for a while, but I know they wouldn't take money off me anyways ! They understand how much I want this. You're doing it for you so also ignore any friends that are not so supportive, I've found 9 times out of 10 they are a little jealous cause they wouldn't mind a ba themselves! Most girls would ! Hope all goes well Hun xx
February 24, 2014
Hey Thanks! I already bought both the tablets and topical cream today along with bio-oil. I got it all for under $20.00 so i thought that was a good deal. I have old stretch marks from when I was pregnant so I wonder if the bio oil will help fade those more but i havent found any claims online.
February 24, 2014
Oh that's alright then! Good prices :) yeah everything's worth a try I'm gonna try bio oil after xx
