WORTH IT$10,000
I've been diligently reading the experiences of all you lovely ladies over the past few weeks and decided to start a thread here as well. I hope that you will be able to help me along this journey :)
Here is some background on me! I've wanted breast implants for AS LONG as I can remember. I started bringing it up to my fiance when we first started dating but he was pretty adamant that I shouldn't do something so drastic... ever so slowly, as I brought this topic up over and over it got to the point where he told me that if it's something I truly wanted and would make me happy to go ahead with it.
Over the past 2 years I have been working out quite a bit and noticed by previous A cups no longer fill out my bras! TRAGIC. As if they were not already little enough! It's time to take action lol. I have my first consultation scheduled for tomorrow. I am super nervous!
My stats:
5'5
110 lbs
29 years old (almost thirty!)
Thin build
Fairly active (3-4 workouts a week)
Most of my bras are 32A or 32AA. Sometimes the AAs are too small, I think I'm actually in between sizes so really I have about 1 bra that fits right =(
Asian (not sure if this matters!)
Anyway, my big dilemma at this point is not if I should go ahead w/ a BA, but more so WHEN to do it!
We are saving for a wedding (summer 2015), so it's tough to justify the cost, which will probably be between $8-9K. I considered going to the States to get this done as reputable surgeons there tend to be cheaper, but w/ travel costs and the hassle I don't think the savings will be worth it.
On top of that, I have the dilemma of whether I should wait til after kids. Any ladies w/ BAs out there who had children and nursed them have any advice? Did you require a revision? Was there a noticeable change? I imagine I'd be pregnant sometime in 2016 if all goes according to plan.
I want to have these for my wedding though, as I feel that they would make me feel super fantastic in my dress. But I guess I'm concerned about spending the money now and having to have them fixed in about 3 or 4 years after having kids.
Any advice out there on my timing problems?

BA booked!
It’s been over a year since I updated you all on my story. I last left off deciding that I would wait until I had babies before going ahead with the BA as I’d decided that getting them done before the wedding wasn’t feasible (for several reasons!) and if I waited until after the wedding I might as well wait until I was done having babies. Well, I’m excited to say that… I’ve booked my BA for July, literally, 4 days after my wedding! Some of you may wonder, why the change of heart? Well, my fiancé and I decided that we didn’t know when we would have kids – possibly we wouldn’t even start trying for another 2-3 years at least. I also felt like I’ve been wanting to do this for SO SO long and just the thought of delaying it for another 4-5 years (after having maybe 2 kids and then breastfeeding) just seemed FAR TOO LONG.
I really just want to enjoy them for as long as I can! I spoke to a bunch of people and did a lot of reading online, and many people have had positive things to say about the state of their BAs after having children. So, fingers crossed that it works out for me too and if not, I’ve come to terms with the possibility of paying for a revision to fix them up.
Now that it’s booked, I have a lot of other things to worry about! I’ve decided on 330cc, round, silicone, below the muscle with the incision in the crease. There are days that I worry that they will be too big, and days that I worry that they will be too small. Ideally I want them to look like a full C. I guess I’m worried that they will be a full B instead. I believe the next size up would be 365cc – that sounds scary to me. I’m also terrified of telling my sister (I have a feeling she will disapprove) and not really sure how to deal with my parents / extended family (very close knit family and I see them quite often!).
So, instead of going on a honeymoon right away, we will be having a boobie-moon! That brings me to another thing to worry about. We will be going away at the beginning of September and I’m not sure how much they will drop in 6 weeks. I’ll have to wear a bikini and it might be really awkward if they are still high and square looking!

Congrats! We have similar stats... I have mine in two weeks and I'm still debating between 330s or 385s. What doctor are you going with? Also - My family wasn't too happy when I told them but they've kinda gotten over it mostly. I still haven't told my in-laws though lol;)

April 16, 2015
Ooh!! I'm so excited for you - two weeks is super soon! I'm going with Dr Jugenburg how about you? I think mostly it will be very awkward to tell my parents (Asian parents are not very open about things lol). I might tell my mom and just let her either tell my dad or let him wonder haha. It will be easier to tell my soon to be MIL as she is less traditional and I'm not as fussed about her judging me haha
Could you tell the difference between the 330s and 385s when you tried them?

April 17, 2015
I'm also with Dr J! The 385's I'm considering are the same width as the 330's, just higher projection (by like 1cm so it's not a huge diff). I love the how the 330's look but I know you lose some size going under the muscle, plus I wanted a little bit more projection so I'm leaning toward the 385s. I have a couple pics on my review of each but it's hard to tell the difference just from photos. They don't really advertise it during your consultation, but you can go back and see Dr J or Kim as many times as you like to try on sizers and ask questions. Im going in again next week to make up my mind... Oh and btw, I like your telling mom first strategy hahaha;)

Congrats on your decision to go through with it :). I totally understand the wait or not wait dilemma.. I do already have one child, and I know that eventually I want to have more. So I struggled too with whether or not I should have the surgery. But like you I don't plan on getting pregnant any time soon, so there is still plenty of time to enjoy the boobies! And who knows, maybe we will be lucky after and won't end up needing a revision :). I think you are making a great choice in implants! I also did silicone rounds under the muscle via crease incision and definitely wouldn't have had it any other way. I went with 400cc but judging from your stats you are much more petite than me so I'm sure 330 will be perfect on you :). Good luck and keep us posted!

April 22, 2015
Thanks! I'm really hoping that 330cc is enough to get me the results I'm looking for without being too large!!

I would just like to state that some girls think they will get boobs after breastfeeding and assume they will be able to breast feed i have an almost 4 yo son and i had intended to breastfeed up to at least a year old but in reality my body wouldnt allow it. I was only able to breast feed for about 5-6weeks then had to do formula and breastfeed when i had the milk supply. I am scheduled for my BA November 11 2015 so excited.. just thought id state if i could do it over i woud have done boobies a long long time ago.. after kids means you will need someones around clock care for at least a week or 2 its my biggest fear :-(

Size dilemmas!
I've been stressed lately trying to figure out what size is best! It's so hard when 300-350cc looks different on everyone! Anyway I'm just posting a few more wish pics and I also made an appointment to try on sizers again. I also want to ensure that moderate profile (vs high/full) is right for me. I do want the natural look and slope so I think moderate is right but lately I've also been seeing some pictures with HP which also look good!! It's so confusing!!
My other concern is that I have a pretty small waist but feel my shoulders are broad so I'm worried that having boobs will make me look heavy! I should try and find some photos of myself to upload...

Upload some photos but most girls will tell you the same, just go bigger so you have no regrets :) 300-350 is a moderate sized implant they're not big, you'll be happy. If you can fit 300-350 mod plus, go for it! What are you stats? Good luck!
April 26, 2015
Sorry just saw your stats. It depends on your breast width. If not at least 12cm, you won't be able to fit the 350. Your PS will guide you.
