So my story is a simple one, I've never had hardly any boobs at all and I want them. Lol I have 1 son, and yes they got a lot bigger during pregnancy but I couldn't breastfeed and of course within a few weeks they went right back to the tiny ones they are now. So for about 6 or 7 months now I have been stalking this website. I love reading everyone's journeys. So I'll start mine now, I'm 5'0 120 I've put on 20 pounds the last couple years I'd like to lose 10 but that's a different topic lol I'll put all my measurements up soon and I'm still not set on a size yet. I know I'm getting silicone under the muscle I'm leaning towards somewhere around 450cc. So I went to 3 different surgeons for consults the first one was Dr. Schantz of Waldman Schantz plastic surgery in Lexington KY I really liked him he seemed knowledgeable and just a good guy. But the consultation wasn't very in depth. No measurements or sizers apparently they don't do that in many places in Lexington. So then his nurse who stands in while your showing him your boobs comes back in with the price and all that and she just seemed so pushy. She said well I chose silicone for you, umm why are you choosing anything for me? I just wasn't a big fan of her. I went to Dr. Wells in Lexington KY and I loved his nurse. She was amazing, but again no sizers he did do a few measurements and told me what he thought would be my best size to achieve my goals. Which was 533cc but unfortunately I just did not like Dr. Wells. I felt it was a complete waste of my time. So then I went to Dr. Vashi in Cincinnati OH and that's who will be performing my surgery. I can't wait but I'm super nervous. I'm not so much worried about the actual operation but the pain after and any complications that may follow. I've read several that ended up with muscle deformities or CC and so many more. I really hope the new girls turn out beautiful and with no problems. I'm very scared. My surgery date is September 15. Just a few weeks away :)

As my final post op appointment gets closer and closer (friday) I'm really starting to reconsider. I'm getting very nervous. I'm so worried things may not turn out as planned. Is this normal ladies?? I'm so torn I so badly want this done, but I'm so nervous and worried. I definitely don't want to pay for surgery on Friday and then not have it done. So I figure I have 2 days to decide :( HELP

So I've been having a heart palpation and my cardiologist scheduled a stress test and echo for today. I found this out in Wednesday so I immediately called Pam who does the scheduling for my PS and told her about it and of course we want to make sure I'm OK and healthy before having surgery. She was very nice and helpful, you're suppose to pay in full 2 weeks prior well mine will only be 4 days prior lol I'm so glad they understand. So my test results... my echo came back great all the pictures were good. My stress test they said i passed with flying colors. They wanted my heart rate up to 170 and we got it up to 200. The cardiologist said my heart is perfectly fine. So wow what a relief. I also had a chest xray to check my lungs I haven't gotten those results yet but I'm just so glad my heart is good. Also I didn't know for the stress test I would be running on a treadmill top less lol which is why my babe put that on the card! He's so wonderful, just got me flowers for no reason. :) 11 days until I'll have boobies :)
Updated on 5 Sep 2015:
So I got my results back from my x-ray and my lungs are great. YAY!!! so I'm set for my BA, I'm so happy to know my heart and lungs are great so I shouldn't worry too much about surgery. I'm not the marks from the stickies are gonna go away lol but I need help... what are all the must haves I need for after surgery when I get home? ! Any and all suggestions will help! Thanks beauties
Updated on 6 Sep 2015:
These are 455 UHP and 450 HP what do yall think? Do they suit me or should I go bigger?
Updated on 11 Sep 2015:
Pre op is done, we decided on 480cc UHP. I'm so excited 4 days until I'll have boobies!!! Yay!!! I think I'll do some sports bra shopping today ;)
Updated on 15 Sep 2015:
I've actually been quite calm and the nerves have set in. I will have gorgeous boobs today!!! I hope anyway lol surgery is scheduled for 1230 I'm supposed to be there at least an hour early and we have a two hour drive. So time to shower and get ready, I'll update when I can :)
Updated on 15 Sep 2015:
So my surgery was at 1230, we got there at 1130 and I was called back to preop at 12 and in surgery by 1240. The nurses at St Elizabeth surgery center are AMAZING. They were all compassionate and lovely. They were great with my 8 year old autistic son who I brought as well. I already had my iv and had fluids going in and then they gave me Valium through the iv and started wheeling me back to the OR I remember laughing with the nurses I'm not even ure about what and that's all I remember until I woke up.
We'll I woke up in horrible pain, I was shaking all over because it was hurting so badly. Luckily the nurse kept giving me meds every couple mins until it was tolerable. Apparently I woke up before that flipping out and fighting lol the nurse said she had to scream for the other nurses and practically lay on top of me hahaha I don't remember that at all. I mean nothing! Well I'm glad to say my pain hasn't been nearly that bad since I woke. I left the surgery center at 4 I believe and I wasn't groggy or 'high' at all after about 10 mins. I even told my dad the directions to the hotel were staying in lol they are super sore and the swelling has gotten worse since I've got to the hotel. My arms hurt to move but it's tolerable and I'm trying to keep them moving so they don't get stiff. I will say it's not as bad as I was expecting. (Knock on wood) so to all my ladies who are yet to do it GO FOR IT.
Just a recap I'm 5'0 120 size 4 pants and my boob measurement was 11.5 we went with 455cc UHP mentor silicone unders! I was hoping for 480cc but my PS said these fit me much better, and I trust his judgement. Plus he said the difference is 455cc and 480cc was just barely a tablespoon. So I won't fret over size.
I don't have ace bandages wrapped around me thank goodness because I heard that was even more painful. But I have a super tight sports bra and I can't take it off. As soon as I can I'll post a pic! I'm so happy I finally did what I've wanted for so long!
Updated on 16 Sep 2015:
So I've been pleasantly surprised with the lack of pain I'm having. Yes they are super swollen and are super tight and stiff, but nothing that is excruciating. So I'll take it lol I still am not able to take my bra off when I do I'll get a pic. I can't wait to see them. :) :)
Updated on 17 Sep 2015:
They're high and tight, but they seem to be looking great. I can't wait until they drop and fluff ;)
Updated on 18 Sep 2015:
So midday pod 2 I started getting a horrible burning sensation on my right nipple and right side of my breast. It is horrific I mean unbearable and now today it's the same with my incision. Plus all the bras lay right over it. The pain meds don't even faze it, I'm miserable in terrible pain. Idk if I've messed something up or what. My left is fine still high and tight but no real pain. My PS said it's normal especially where we used a bigger size implant and that is my smaller side. I just dk how much more I can take. I'm too my breaking point! I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy.
Updated on 19 Sep 2015:
So 4 days after surgery and thank goodness the pain has lessened. I couldn't take much more, I know that. My right boob still hurts when I move my arm and I'm still getting the burning pain but not nearly as bad. My back is hurting pretty badly but I figured that with sleeping oddly and just the weight from the implants at first. They're looking a little better. Still high and swollen but not as flat. I just can't wait to feel like a normal human being again. I've not ate much of anything since the day before surgery. I just have no appetite what so ever and I'm only eating because the meds make me feel sick. I guess patience is key, and hopefully each day will get easier.
Updated on 20 Sep 2015:
Things to get better day by day. Thank goodness, I'm in a little less pain than I was yesterday. I have more range of motion with my right arm without so much pain. I still get tired and wore out easily. I'm excited they're already softening up a bit and dropping. They're looking more like boobs lol but wow has it been a rough few days!!
Updated on 25 Sep 2015:
Thank goodness most of the pain has subsided and I can use my right arm more. This has been a struggle and an emotional roller coaster. I was in so much pain, I wished I hadn't had the surgery. Well I can't go back and luckily I'm feeling better day by day. They're looking better day by day as well. I can't wait until they settle and fill out. I've started trying to do the massages, they're a lot harder than they look lol I think I will be happy with my result after I'm done healing :)
Updated on 26 Sep 2015:
I'm loving the way they look, I can't wait until they fully settle! But they look awesome in clothes even now. I never had any bruising and yes they were high and tight, they still are but the girls have made tremendous improvements in such a short time. My bestie and I had dinner yesterday and she couldn't wait to see them. She LOVES them she stared at them for like 5 mins straight and then felt them and she couldn't stop talking about how amazing they look. Lol that made me feel wonderful ;) YAY BOOBIES!!!
Updated on 29 Sep 2015:
So things are going great now. My girls are starting to settle (at different paces) but that's OK. They're looking better and better :) yipeee!!! My incisions look great, I can't wait to start using silicone strips!!
Updated on 1 Oct 2015:
So 2 nights ago I was finally able to sleep on my side. I wasn't in pain before but it was still too uncomfortable for me to sleep on my sides. What a relief these past few nights have been. I was still sleeping propped up :( I'm so happy with the new girls. They've dropping nicely and I can't wait until they completely drop and fluff. I hope my muscles stretch and ease a bit more so they will project more. I really am loving them more everyday. I love having boobies LOL what a difference this makes in your confidence and self esteem. It's actually quite crazy. I hope all you ladies are doing well ;) and happy healing! Also I can NOT wait to go to VS and buy new bras!!!
Updated on 8 Oct 2015:
I'm just a little over 3 weeks and I went to VS to get sized and get a few new bras :) my goodness they just don't look THAT big to me lol I'm a D or DD YAY!!! The purple bra is a 34 D and as u can see half my boobs are hanging out. So I have to return it :( it's too small. I love the others, the blue one is borderline too small but we will see lol I'm so excited. Loving my new girls!
Updated on 15 Oct 2015:
Wow I'm loving my new girls! The before and after is crazy. I love how they look now :) come on drop and fluff, the progress so far has been great! Love the cleavage as well!
Updated on 21 Oct 2015:
Just left Dr. Vashi's office for a check up he said everything was looking great. I didn't have to sleep in a bra and to keep massaging at least once a day. I think he's a wonderful surgeon! I LOVE MY NEW BOOBIES!!
Updated on 29 Oct 2015:
I just want to say how grateful I am for such a great outcome and can't wait for my girls to completely settle. And of course drop and fluff. I know my left will always be bigger than my right, because that is the way they were pre-op. I didn't wanna have 2 different sizes because the width would be different. What I'm saying is, we shouldn't pick at the little things. We should love our new bodies and embrace our imperfections. I'm content knowing one will always be a little bigger. But I love how they look, shoot I love having boobs lol I've been buying bras like crazy and like I said I got sized at a 34D or 32DD. I ordered 4 more bras online from VS and I thought the 34D was a bit snug and the 32DD was a but small around so I ordered a 34DD and I love it!! I think it's still a bit snug but it looks great! All you lovely ladies just remember where we started and where we are now :*
Updated on 21 Nov 2015:
Still adore my new girls and I love the cleavage. You will see a pink bra and I'm rocking the cleavage lol but I have to say I'm obsessed with the bralettes (sp) I've bought at least 6 and I just love them. I still sleep in a bra, my surgeon says I don't have to but I choose to lol but they are the most comfy for day and night and all but 2 have a lot of support as well. Just an recap, I have 455UHP silicone mentor unders! I think mine look very natural and not super fake, I see a lot of Dr's saying HP and UHP look super fake and I have to say I disagree. So any ladies out there who are scared for UHP don't be! I couldn't get a mod+ or lower profile because that would have been too risky for getting uniboob, and having to much side boob. I wanted a good amount of CC so that's why we had to use UHP. I had a very small boob width, but I do love them and they're still close together and I have wonderful cleavage, I was worried because I seen a lot of Dr say under the muscle and higher profiles CANT have cleavage. Well they were wrong lol
Updated on 15 Dec 2015:
So I wrote out a big long story and somehow it refreshed and deleted it all. Yea! So... I'm so happy to have hit my new tata's 3 month bday! I hope everything keeps going well I had a few bumps I thought I was bottoming out on my right side I went and seen my surgeon he said I'm Definitely not bottoming out its just my incision has moved up where I had such a short nipple to fold prior to surgery and when my incision fully heals you won't see it as much. Happy healing ladies here are some new pics!
Updated on 23 Dec 2015:
I was having a hard time because I was knit picking and talking about all the little things that aren't perfect about my boobs. One nipple is a bit smaller, how you can see a lot more veins since I've gotten the implants so on and so on. But I really do love them, and I have to stop being so negative. The new girls have turned out beautiful and what a confidence booster this has been! I hope everyone has a great Christmas
Updated on 28 Dec 2015:
This website has been down for over 2 days I have definitely realized I'm addicted to it lol I'm so glad that's it's back!! I was lost without it :)
Updated on 3 Jan 2016:
Of course I can still pick at flaws they have but I do love them. I know I don't want them to be perfect because everyone would know they were fake. Real breasts aren't perfectly matching lol also our sex life has been quite rough since my op, they were so tender and then my nipples were so OVERLY sensitive. So the boobs have been a no go. Thank goodness the last couple of weeks they have gotten to where if they're squeezed or sucked on its starting to feel good rather than hurt. Oh what a damper it has been on our sex life so I'm so grateful that things are getting back to normal ;)

OK so I've been trying to add a profile pic for months, I only use my phone or tablet for Internet and I can not figure it out. There's nothing to click?? Any help is appreciated. I'm adding a photo of what I see! Thanks ladies!

So before my BA I had 2 bra's I wore all the time. That's it lol well now I have like 50.
Updated on 11 Jan 2016:
Since 3 weeks PO we just couldn't believe how soft they have been, but the past couple weeks they have really softened even more. I love them, no one can believe they are implants. They feel so much like natural breast tissue it's mind blowing. They are soft, squishy, bouncy, and wonderful lol I hope yall enjoy the video of how they feel, I'm so thrilled with them and so glad I made the decision to get them.
Updated on 29 Jan 2016:
I would never wear cute little nighties because I never could fill out the top. Well I can now ????????
Updated on 3 Feb 2016:
I was thinking I needed to drop just a tad more so my nipples would be centered but I took this and I believe they are pretty centered. They may drop just a a bit more but even if they don't I'm happy :)
Updated on 9 Feb 2016:
I just love looking down and seeing this :) I adore seeing boobs there and cleavage. So, so glad I got a BA!
Updated on 7 Mar 2016:
So working out has been a challenge for me. The girls really wanna bounce and if I don't have a ton of support they actually will hurt later that day. I have bought so many sports bras and none seem to do the trick. Any suggestions would help greatly. I found a new one from VSX line it is very supportive but super uncomfortable. Help and thanks ladies. I never had this problem prior but now my boobies wanna hit me in the face lol
