Hey, i dont really know where to start... I've been reading stories on here for weeks now. They have all helped me so much. No only with knowledge but support as well.

I am 27 years old. Married at 18, pregnant at 19 and had all 4 kids by age 25. I breast fed them all for 3-6 months each. even before having kids I was always small busted. In Jr H & HS I did the whole, chicken cutlet, jello balloons, push up bras.... You name it, I've done it. Boys teased me an awful lot because all of my girlfriend started getting boobs in grade school. I have wanted my boob job since I was a freshman... But I KNEW my Junior year, that i'd eventually FOR SURE i'd get one after I turned 18. Thats when I for sure realized I wasn't going to get breasts like everyone else. Then I turned at, and "life started". Marriage, babies & more babies.... Well I'm done mass producing now, so IT'S TIME!!!

I am starting age 27, 5'6" & 120-125lbs. Measuring a 34B by VSecret standards but 34A by my personal measurements. I am llpooking to be a D (not an HUGE D) I would even be fine with a FULL C.

Surgery is the 12th and according to the countdown app I have on my phone, that's 23 days away :) I'm more excited than nervous. Nerves will hit right before surgery. It's just the way it happens for me. I am going to be having Silicone 425-450cc's placed under my muscle. I was SET on going thru the armpit at first... But that's when I wanted saline. Now I am FOR SURE SILICONE. So I am debating under boob entry VS nipple entry...??? Experiences are VERY welcome!!! Good, bad & the ugly :) my GFriend said after her BA (under boob entry) she can feel a pulling at the incision when her boobs are played with and kinda rubbed or pulled up, anyone experiance this? I am leaning towards nipple entry, but am worried about sensitivity. I really like my sensativity level now and would HATE it if I lost it....

Suggestions? Comments? Concerns?

Thank you ladies!!!!!

With any of the breast or tummy tuck you will lose sensation. Sometimes it comes back...mine took a long time to come back but not this time. I had a revision done and at your age you probably will too at some point. My incision is under and as I see your pics yours is as well. The scar will fade to white and no one will see it but it will take about a year to completely fade. I hope you love them. You look great. I'm thrilled with mine too and plan to post some pics as soon as my tummy looks a bit better

Hi, I know this post is older, but I just came across it. ☺️ I wanted to ask why you chose silicone over saline?

I wanted the most natural look possible and didn't like the feel of "water balloon-like" implants.

My dr office called today... They informed me my dr would be out of town on my already scheduled surgery date. My stomach went into a KNOT!!! I wAs so sick and sad that I would have to wait longer... Come to find out, they had someone reschedule this morning, so there was an opening 5 days sooner!!! From March 12th to the 7th!!! I can't believe it! It's so close now!!! Anyone have any opinions on incisions? I'm still "in the air" on incision site... Also, if you've been thru a BA, what were some "have to have" items while recovering? Thanks ladies!!!

I'm only a week since my tummy tuck and breast augmentation so I cnt give great Advice. But I will tell you that I went through the nipple and I'm glad. The only stitching is on the bottom of nipple (maybe becuase my nipples are big?) and I am excited because I think I won't hve visible scars because they will fade with the nipple line. My dr. ( very highly rated, one report showed him in top 3 percent of plastic surgeons in southeast US... But who knows) said that studies show that going through the nipple doesn't effect nipple sensation. I know different surgeons say and believe different things and unfortunately I'm not far enough from surgery to be able to tell you what's going on yet. I just thought I'd tell you my experience so far and also wish you luck!!!!

Oh... Thank you. Any real experiences are helpful. I am leaning towards nipple incisions but just I. The last 2 weeks or so. Before that I was always very adamant that I would never go they the nipple... Granted it was a "newer" entry point back in the day when I officially decided I'd have a BA one day. Now that things are way more evolved now, I do think the incisions heal really nicely! I guess I'm still just scared... Thank you for your experience!!! Any must have healing advice? Best of luck during your recovery!! Take care of yourself, don't over do it & protect your investment!!! :)

It feels like being engorged after your milk comes in after having a baby except you can't release implants like you can milk. Lol. No real advice. I just wear the bra they gave me and the band to push them down an that's really it. Oh yeah, put bowls and stuff you reach for a lot on the counters where you can get it easily. Reaching is hard. Good luck!!!

We are seeing different drs in Utah but our surgery is the same day :) we can be boob buddies :) I'm going under the boob because my dr prefers it and says the healing is faster. I would go with what your dr prefers.

AtoDMarch2013

February 22, 2013

You're the 7th too? That's awesome. Yes, Boob buddies we should be! :) my dr doesn't have a preference either way. The only prefrence he does have is with silicone, he will not go thru the armpit (I guess the likelihood of nerve damage is higher because the incision is longer with silicone vs saline. I'm doing silicone so... Thanks for the advice though! It's nice to hear other drs preferences too! I'm gonna go read your profile cause I have all sorta of questions. But instead if asking here, I'll go read and see what your story is :) thanks!!!

I stumbled upon your post looking for women who had their D cup implants removed and are naturally an A or less, not going the other way around. I just have to say that I think your breasts are adorable just the way they are. Mine were even smaller than yours before I had them augmented and I just HAD to have implants. I HATE THEM and immensely regret the decision. Be careful

I truly am sorry you had such a bad experience. I hope that you find a size that you can be happy with, I truly do. I am confident in my decision. Best of luck to you & thank you for sharing your experiance.

AtoDMarch2013February 28, 2013

I went to my Dr yesterday, finalized size, shape, entry point & payment. It's all taken care of :) I can not even believe it! So the details will be... 450cc/HP, under muscle thru an infmammory incision. I am still nervous about the incision point... But can definitely get on board with it! Apparently, my Dr (who is amazing & I trust him) said that there are recent studies indicating that there MAY be a connection between nipple entry an increase chance of captular contractor. Something about the bacteria in the milk glands that may get onto the implant during placement. He explained it super clearly but I just don't know how the explain it as well. ;)
Anyways, I am extremely excited and extremely READY!!!!

Has anybody else heard about the increase in chances of captular contractor with nipple entry???
