After 3 consultations with different surgeons, I chose Dr. Singh based on many factors. He is board certified, a clinical professor at John's Hopkins, has years of experience, and (bonus!) even performs surgery for charity internationally (yay, altruistic!); his staff is outstanding and organized; he had power point presentations ready for the consult (the entire office just has their act together); he answered all of my questions and was very professional; and most importantly for me, his recommendation balanced the reality of the limitations of my anatomy (small breast width) with the kind of results I had in mind (i.e., not just a 195 cc implant). After deliberating for all of one night, I called the office to book my surgery the very next day. The big day is in less than a month! I'm equally excited and a flipping nervous wreck!

This should have been my first post, but better late than never. I actually have never been sized for a bra because I am very self-conscious of my flatness. By guess-timation, I'm probably a 32AA. I've been the same size since freshman year of high school. It wasn't until 2007-ish (after college) that my ob-gyn diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which affects my natural hormone cycles. This finally explained why my breasts never developed. During all these years, I've just worn super padded, push-up bras, not to push up anything per se (nothing there), but to basically serve as prosthetic boobs. Don't get me started on swim suits. Every time I would get out of the water, it was like wringing out a beach towel's worth of water from my super padded bikini top (which btw had to fit just right so it didn't look like it was 100% padding (no easy task)). Finding fashionable clothes that covered me up in the right places has always been difficult. I hated my reflection in the mirror because I looked like a pre-pubescent girl on top. Never mind being topless in front of someone else.
I'm excited to finally be able to do this for myself, be happy with how I look, and be comfortable in my own skin.

I was reading your post and it sounds exactly like me (except for the POS). I always had small boobs, and once I had nursed two kids, they got even smaller, which I didn't think was possible! I had the padding, the inserts, and felt limited with what tops and bathing suits I could wear. I had always thought about surgery, but never thought I would really do it. Then I came across a medical article that had a name for really small boobs. I forget what it was, but I felt like since there was a name for what I had, I could get it fixed! It wasn't just me being vain. I had the surgery on 8/14. My intention was to have boobs the same size as they looked when I padded. I didn't want anyone to know that I had breast augmentation. After two days, I couldn't be happier. They're a little bigger than I thought, but they are still swollen. I am so excited to buy any bra I want, and have a little cleavage! I just wanted to write and say good for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Pepper55! Thanks for sharing! I, too, always sort of had BA in the back of my mind (since my teenage years), but was never sure I would actually go through with it. However, here I am today with my surgery just a few weeks away. Crazy! I'm so thrilled to hear that you couldn't be happier! I'm excited for you to go shopping! Keep me updated! And thank you for the well wishes. I hope your recovery is speedy!

Since the surgery, my recovery has been really good. I've been taking the recommended supplements (Vit C, Vit A, Zinc, Bromelain, and Anica Montana) and feel great. I can do everything normally, but sleep on my stomach. I had my first post-op today, and everything looks great. My goal was to have the same boobs that have been the result of padding all these years. I really don't want my friends or coworkers to know. Right now, they are a little high, and actually look like real boobs that are in a good miracle bra! I do have a bit of swelling around my stomach, which was kind of surprising because I have worked hard to be pretty toned. I'm sure it will subside. Overall, I'm really happy. I actually wore a normal sports bra under my shirt today, which is something I never would have done in the past. Before, bras were a means to hold padding and give the impression that I had boobs. Now, a bra is unnecessary- for a good reason! :)

Hi Pepper55! Sorry that it has taken me a while to respond. That's awesome that you've been feeling great. I can only hope that my recovery will be as easy as yours. What strength of arnica are you taking -- 30x? Also, I definitely know what you mean regarding bras! I can't wait to be able to wear a bra for its intended purpose and fill it out!! I'm envious of you in a sports bra. I wish my surgery date would hurry up. :)
