I've always been insecure about my small breasts....

I've always been insecure about my small breasts. I wear 32B, sometimes A, but both sizes still gapped. I work at Victorias Secret and it frustrates me that our beautiful bras didn't look good on me. I had my procedure done today. Its remarkable how smoothly all went. Pain is minimal as is swelling. Best of all I have NO torpedo boob or that square look some women get after surgery. I am very happy so far.

They look amazing!:I am 3 weeks out. I think the size you picked is perfect for your frame and the fact that you didn't go too large will help with your recovery. I did 350 and I am much taller then you. Have you been told you must wear a bra 24/7? Good luck to you

Thank you! So far im very happy! Yes, my surgeon said i had to wear a bra (no wires or padding ) for the full 6 weeks. I also have to wear the bandeau strap 24/7 for a full 2 weeks. Kind of annoying! Haha

I had to wear that strap too..Yuck! At least it isn't full summer yet. 1 side feels pretty good but the other hurts more. I am surprised how much it still hurts. Also the hurting side dropped sooner then the other side and got softer sooner. I had a little bit of unevenness before but it's looking pretty evened out now. I have to admit I was having" buyers remorse" but feeling better today. Lack of sleep has been wearing me down too.

Tomorrow will be one week since my surgery. I love them so far! Although im feeling like the right is slightly smaller than tgethe left. No one else sees it, so maybe its me being ocd. Dr hopkins did tell me that i was asymmetrical from the get go, but immediately after surgery they were perfectly even. They probably still are. I have to stop obsessing lol
pain is so much better, although i never had much to begin with. Im still sore and get random shooting pains. i have slight yellow bruising in the center of my chest, im hoping that goes away soon. Most annoying of all is the bandeau! So uncomfortable, and still a whole week to go with it! :(

Looking amazing! I have my surgery with Dr.Hopkins June 3rd! Pre op today =) I am doing 350 CC and am 5'3" and 110lbs.

Thanks!! :) How exciting! I originally was going to go with the 350ccs but panicked about looking too big, i almost have the same stats as you, except im a little taller. Now i wish i had gone with the 350ccs! I know 25ccs isn't a whole lot but im experiencing a bit of boob greed lol good luck today!

Yea 25CC's isn't much at all and I'm sure you have more now than you did before! They look great! My pre op went well, he's so laid back =) I chose 350 because that's as large as I can go based on my measurements and I am trying to avoid boob greed lol I know another girl that went to him and she had minimal pain and is having a very great recovery, I'm praying for the same!

Im happier with the size than i was yesterday lol i dont see the unevenness anymore, so obviously it was just me being ocd. Im having lots of discomfort around the incisions, the skin below them is very red and raw, presumably from my bras (The post op ones i was given) . They feel so tight now, its weird. They are dropping and becoming softer. Im so curious to see what size ill be. Some reviews I see on here girls got less CCs than i did and ended up being Ds or DD s. Others that got waaayy more than me are also Ds. Im so confused lol . My old bras are obviously too small (32b) but not by alot, which makes me think oll be a C. Which doesn't feel like alot, and makes me feel a bit bummed. what size did you 325ccs ladies end up being? ?

So far I think I'm a 32D although with clothes on it doesn't look that big at all! I was a 34/32a before and got 325cc moderate plus.

Are you happy with the size? Do you ever wish you went bigger? I'm getting my BA on June 1st and I can only get 300cc and I'm a lil nervous for how they will be afterwards. I'm 5'4" 134lbs and a 32C according to vs. I too am from bq

Well after all the swelling went down I did feel like maybe i should've went with 350ccs, but everyone says they're big enough and that i definitely shouldn't go bigger with my body type, and bowand now that they're dropping I agree. Im happy now! I've seen girls on here that got 300ccs and they look pretty big! Are you worried that they'll be too small?

Yes. I have full trust in my ps I'm just nervous I guess cause idk what to expect to look like afterwards. I tried the dozers but it's totally different after the surgery. I don't want 2giant melons but I do want some cleavage and fullness. Regardless I will be bigger than I am now. And that alone makes me happy.
