Well i have known i would get a breast augmentation since my breasts started to grow at 12 years old and then stopped growing that same year. I am very small chested an A cup on the right and a AA on the left. I have always been so self concious of my breasts and have always felt incomplete and not proportionate to my body at all. Today i had my consultation and booked my surgery for Jan. 3rd i am so excited words can not even describe how i feel. The office staff were all very friendly and Dr. Hosn was so welcoming and extremely informative. I have decided to go with saline unders moderate profile...the size is still kindve up in the air but i will probably be going with 450-480cc with my incision being placed in my breast fold. My next appt is in about a month and a half there we will make the final decision on the size and placement... i cant wait!!!

You're going to look awesome! I know what it's like to feel out of proportion.

Thank you for posting on RealSelf.

Be aware that things may not live up to your expectations... :-(( A hard way to learn a lesson...! Make sure you double and treble check the surgeon you are employing is skilled and has the know to achieve the best results for you the patient...!!! YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO HAS TO LIVE WITH THE FALL OUT IF THINGS GO WRONG...! Good luck sweety...! Try researching (CAL)... breast augmentation with stem cell-enriched autologous fat (Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer : This method will last a life time...!

Thank you for your concern but i have spent years researching this procedure and i know nothings perfect but for what i want i feel this surgery will bring me as close to happy as i can get.

My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 29th! I'm excited, but anxious and nervous too. I have researched and planned this for over ten years! I'm a large a/small b cup after nursing 2 kids. My pre-op is next Friday and I'm also not sure on the size, but somewhere in the 425-475 range. Good luck to you!

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know my surgery went really well! I love the results and ended up with 525cc under the muscle. I'm still a little sore, but healing nicely! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself! Just wanted to let you know to help with any nerves or anxiety you may have!

I am 13 weeks post op as of Wednesday. Iam so glad I finally did it. You will be too!! I did a ton of research before my surgery and got myself very informed of my decision. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Best of luck to you! :)

I am so glad you are happy with your results...
I myself have had six reconstructive surgeries over
thirteen years unfortunately I am experiencing
daily pain ... I have concluded in this time that not
only is it extremely important to choose the right surgeon
with the correct skill to best address the problem that
took you in search of a solution in the first place...
But... I also have a belief that not everyone is
suitable for surgery as results can be so unpredictable...!
Again... Congratulations to you in recieving positive
results your first round of surgery many like myself
Have been less fortunate ....
All the best in your future...
Kind regards...
:-))

I totally agree about choosing the correct surgeon. I did my research for several years before choosing the surgeon I did. I also researched the procedure and alot of things that go along with it. The afters... Iam sorry to hear you have had 6 surgeries. I know that must be very hard. I think so many people go in to any surgery thinking the problem will just be corrected once the surgery is complete and that is not the case. You are very correct as in saying everyone of us is different. Our bodies all react differently. That should be well stressed to all of us attempting elective surgeries. Thank you for the congrats and well wishes. Iam glad I have had a positive outcome and I wish that for so many others who will be having any type of surgery. :)

I know it's hard to wait so long but try to relax. I had a hard time with before and afters as well. I couldn't find hardly any photos that I wanted to look like. I found plenty that looked great but they weren't what I wanted. It was frustrating. Seriously I poured over probably a thousand and I literally found 2 pairs that were kinda close, and then my ps wasn't even interested in seeing them. I will say after looking at so many different set's of boobies I absolutely knew how big I wanted to go. :0) try to hang in there he'll give you what's perfect for you. Don't drive yourself crazy with all the what if's. ;0) take care, Jen

Hey Brittany, I posted on my page to answer your question. But just want add that: don't be nervous, I went through the exact emotions, you need to be fully relaxed so you will have speedy recovery. What incision point and brand of implants did you doc discuss with you? I had allergan natrelle brand. A lot of people say saline implants feel hard, but mine doesnt feel hard at all, the only hard parts is the top pec muscle, but that's because during surgery they were pushed up and now they will slowly relax and be soft again. Don't work out before your surgery, you want to be fully relaxed. Hehe, I'm excited for you, best luck!

Hi I just wanted to write a quick post. I went through the same emotions you are going through and it was a tough time for me. Pre surgery I was a 32A/34AA depending on the bra. I wanted to end up a full C to a small D but was worried about getting too large of an implant. I initially went in hoping to get an implant ranging from the 380s to 425ccs. I was naive and didn't account for the fact that I had no breasts to begin with. I also needed extra skin removed from previously being a 36E while breastfeeding. I decided to go with silicone under the muscle because I wanted a more natural feel and not having much breast tissue of my own I didn't really consider saline too much. (my mom and 4 of my aunts ll have saline and want to get them redone with silicone). Anyway I had my surgery last Monday the 5th and my ps put in 490cc I was a little shocked when I heard the number but they don't look big at all. I forgot to mention I am 5'8 118lbs with wider hips and shoulders. So far I am completely happy. Sorry my post is so long I guess I just wanted to let you know not to be scared of a number because they look completely different on everyone. Trust your surgeon and just express to him the look your trying to achieve. I am going to get on my laptop later and try and post some pics if you want to look at them. Good luck!

Tori -- I'm so glad to see you're happy with your size! I just got sized yesterday and I"m going with 400cc silicone unders. I'm similar height (5'7") and also widely built, so my PS is very confident they'll look perfect on me. But like you I'm super nervous about being too big!! I spent the rest of the day being a nervous nellie over my choice :/ 

Your comment has helped calm my nerves even further. 2 weeks til boobs! eeek!

We took my before pics today as well and he feels very confident that he can achieve the look i want which makes me really happy.

Hi I'm glad you updated! I'm excited for you, like I said before I also had small breasts before surgery (9 days ago) 32A/34AA I went with 490cc silicon unders and am beginning to wish I went larger :( still totally worth it and I'm thrilled they are sooooo much better than before. I am still swollen and wishing they would stay the size they are now haha. Oh well, I think I will be happy with the size I am because I can always wear a victorias secret bra if I want the extra size but they also look great in a completely unpadded sheer bra. I think you will look great with the size you chose and love your decision!
