30 Year Old, Petite, Asian - 32AA Breast Augmentation

I’ve always loved my petite body. I began modeling when I was 22 and have been an online personality since age 14, so I’ve always felt extremely comfortable in my own skin whether I was naked or not. Despite this confidence, I’ve always wanted fuller breasts! Not being able to wear certain clothing, never finding my bra size in stores, and never being able to buy bikinis—all of that has really sucked! I’ve never had issues attracting men, so getting this augmentation was not motivated by a lack of attention, but rather the desire to have more fun with my wardrobe and enhance my modeling photos. After 3 decades of ruling the Itty Bitty [RS bleep] Committee, I definitely feel it’s time to pass the crown and upgrade my chest puppies!

I found Dr. Fan because whoever does his SEO and marketing did a great job. Lol (I have a background as a multiple award winning marketing executive, and I give that person a thumbs up, haha!).

I went in for my breast consultation with him two days ago (March 15) after visiting another surgeon for a separate consultation, and I found that Dr. Fan was the most attentive, patient, and informative surgeon out of both of them. That’s what made me decide to go with him over anyone else! Plus, Leanne (his assistant) is INCREDIBLE and made me feel so comfortable with the entire process as well.

I quickly booked my surgery for the following week (March 21st) , and have my pre-op appointment this coming Monday (March 19). I’m still deciding between sizes! Either 350cc or 375cc high profile. If my body can handle 375, I might choose those? I can’t decide! I guess that’s what pre-op is for. :) My mom will be there with me to help post surgery as well since apparently I won’t even be able to pull my pants down to pee, but that’s a minor inconvenience if it means I get to have a cute rack because of it, haha!

The only thing I’m feeling a little wary about is that Dr. Fan doesn’t have a lot of breast augmentation reviews here on Real Self, Yelp, or otherwise. Despite having great surgery before and after photos, the lack of reviews on this site and others really concerns me! I don’t want to go into this feeling like a guinea pig. Because I model and represent brands for a living, having a set of great breasts that are physically appealing with minimal scarring is extremely important to me, and for the price I’m paying, I truly hope I won’t regret my decision to go with Doctor Fan. I don’t want them to be off center for some reason. I don’t want them to be too far apart. A lot worries me about his skill level since I have very little to go on. :/ Plus, the pamphlet I received as take home reading says he’s only done “hundreds” of breast augmentations. But the nurse said he’s done “thousands”? Which is the truth?

These are my only reservations.

Other than this, I’m excited to finally take the plunge and do something I’ve wanted for over 10 years.

I’m including my before pictures now to show you what I’m working with! Please dear god, Dr. Larry Fan, don’t ruin my body! I have a lot of fans (over half a million online) who are counting on you to do a good job! ????

Pre-Op Visit

heycheri

Pre-op went well! Dr. Fan reassured me he’s done thousands of surgeries, mentioned that most women don’t feel the need to share their augmentations publicly (which explains why they aren’t posting all over social media), and that he doesn’t incentivize or ask his patients to leave public reviews for him like other surgeons might. I believe this is true! Dr. Fan has never been pushy or salesy with me at all about this process, and has been extremely patient in answering all of my questions.

My mom came with me to the pre-op and asked all the important questions I never would have, and at the end of the day, we decided on 350cc High Profile Smooth Round. Mine are from Sientra! Tomorrow is my surgery. I’m nervous, but more just excited to get it over with! No more looking at horror photos here on Real Self hahaha. That’s the WORST thing you can do right before a surgery. Just relax, watch TV, and get your mind off of things. :) I’m packing a bag tonight with all of my things to bring to the surgery since it’s so early in the morning. Here I goooo!

I wish you good luck and hope to hear from you. I think that was a good decision with 350cc because you have a very petite shape

Hi! I also have Sientra implants. they are the best on the market! I love them! They feel very real so soft and squishy. I agree! Do not read anything negative. Try to have only positive thoughts leading up to and the day of surgery. I was nervous the night before and on the drive but once I got there I just felt such a calm and everything went wonderfully. When is your surgery ? Good luck! Wishing you the best.

I hope you tske the time to recover. My dr told me a week was fine but I went back to my job n had to take a few more days off. Be aware of dizziness, lethargic, fatigue, nausea n vomiting a few weeks after surgery. The vomiting is due to the stomach waking up from medication.

Day 2 - Post Op

heycheri
Do I look sexy or what? ???? The good news is: I’m alive! God must’ve answered Mom’s fervent prayers because here I am after attempting to eat animal crackers post-op. The bad news is: Waking up after going under anesthesia was rough! They immediately wanted to send my groggy ass home, & I remember thinking: where’s the doctor? Did the surgery go okay? How do I look? Why am I leaving so fast and why is no one telling me anything?! ??????????? But after speaking with all of the ladies in the #breastaugmentation support group I’m in, I discovered this is totally normal. Phew! ???????????
At first, I was in quite a bit of pain due to the shitty pharmacist having forgotten to give me my pain medication (unbeknownst to me). It was only after checking in with my nurse I discovered I was missing one! ???? It also didn’t help that Mom, bless her soul, is an old AF Asian lady who is cranky, tired, & easily irritable (which means asking her for basic things like water or help going to the bathroom sets her off pretty easily). So, dealing with my highly emotional/volatile mother post-surgery was definitely not helpful to my recovery process. ????
Fortunately, after scoring my pain meds, I’m mostly okay! My chest feels really tight, & the band wrapped around my upper chest to push the implants down adds even more pressure. ???? But I can’t really feel it, & I’ve already slept off most of the anesthesia. My appetite is normal, I’m fine to play around on my phone surfing Instagram (haaay guys), and I’m mostly okay! All in all, I feel like me! Just... Y’know. With big boobs. ????????
Pain wise, without meds, I feel about a 7 or 8 out of 10. It just feels like I have a really sore chest from having done far too many push-ups. And when I get up to walk to the restroom, the pain feels hot and heavy with a slight ache. After meds, pain goes down to around a 1 to 3, with only movement triggering the ouchies. To pass the time by, I’ve been nomming on crackers, watching Gossip Girl, gabbing with my girlfriends, and petting Mylo. ???? So far so good!
Every time I look in the mirror, I’m just grateful to have breasts! I can’t wait or them to drop and fluff already. I’m not allowed to remove my bandages or compression bra until after my surgeon gives me the go ahead. My first pot-op appointment is on Tuesday, so I’m anxiously counting down the days until I get to see my new breasts unwrapped for the first time!
????????

I can't wait to hear more! I have also been planning to get implants for a long time and I've been reading a lot about Dr. Fan. I'm also thinking of making an appointment for the consultation. Have you needed help using the bathroom or are you feeling more independent as the days go on?
March 25, 2018
for the first few days, definitely need help pulling pants down. by day 2/3, I could mostly do it myself. :)
