WORTH IT$5,800
First off, I am 24 y/o with no kiddies and a womping 32A cup. I've teeter-tottered back and forth on whether or not I should get the ol' implants for ages. Honestly, I like small [RS bleep]! ...just not as small as mine are. haha. Oh! and not to mention, I have a little asymmetry adding to the list of insecurities. Anyhow, I considered BA about a year ago after an old bf suggested it and then threw the idea out after my best friend had objected to it as soon as I told her. At that time, I had not done my homework on BA and decided that jumping into an extensive surgery to please a boy was not the greatest reason to go through with it.
Now that I schooled myself a little more, elaborated further on my feelings to the best friend, and kicked the douche bf to the curb, I feel like I would be doing this for the right reasons: ME! I've hounded many of my fellow BA buddies about their experiences with BAs, read through the old med-surg books, watched several surgeries on youtube, and most of all, I have read nearly every review on this site! I love it. :) My bf knows it is now part of my nightly ritual.
Sorry, I am a tad scatterbrained (i'm so excited to add to the reviews!). Okay! SO, I want a really natural shape. Silicone. and I am aiming for a full B cup to a small C. But I'd prefer B. I have my consultation set up for May 30th. I know everyone says see many docs, but I've talked to several coworkers of mine that have had BAs and their results are fantastic. I am just going to see how the consultation goes and we'll see from there :) I'm hoping to head to the OR in July. tata!

Well, now that I am even more boob-crazed than before and my consultation is ever-so slowly creeping up, I am thinking I gotta' go moderate plus and small Cs seem perfect. I'd really like to have breasts similar to the lovely Anna Paquin. Hers look totally great!
Also, the only person that I've been really hesitant on informing about the big BA is my brother. I told him and he had the totally "supportive" reaction which was, "If you want everyone to lose all respect for you then do it." It kind of bugged. But hey, not everyone is going to agree with my decision. Such is life. I know he will eventually get over it.

Your situation sounds somewhat similar to mine. Not sure of how similar our stats are as far as height/ weight and all but im 26with no children. I've had my consultation and found my PS but am not sure of the size as of yet. Definitely need to try on some sizers. my PS is suggesting 371 cc mod profile natrelle style 15 and says it should get me to a magical C! haha hopefully! I'm very active and want a natural look...but yet still want a noticeable difference! Im horrified to go through this and not feel there is enough of a difference! and based on my measuements i dont think my PS will go any higher. Hope all goes well for you :) I'm hoping to book my surgery soon...more than likely end of July or early August! Excited and nervous!

Aw that's awesome! It seems like there are so many decisions to make with these darn boobies! lol. yeah, definitely seem like those sizer thingamaboobs (lol) will help in figuring out what size to go with. I definitely think I am going to try that rice thing tonight. I'm honestly horrified to go to big! But a full C doesn't sound too bad if you're about my size. I'm 5'4", 115 lbs, and not as athletically built as i'd like. haha. Did your PS give you plenty of sizers to practice with? Good luck to you also! I will definitely follow your journey since it sounds like we will be having surg around the same time :)

oh! I just thought this was simple and it kind of helped me: http://www.realself.com/blog/guide-breast-implant-options-infographic

Oddly enough I didn't try on sizers! I felt the different types of implants we talked a lot and then I also got to do this 3d imaging so I could see different sizes with my body. But I'd still like to try some sizers! I'm going to call the PS and see if I do that at the per op? I should try the rice thing too! I like running and I love the insanity workouts! I'm trying to she'd unwanted fat before my surgery haha I'm 5'6 and around 127# however I'm somewhat pear shaped I have small shoulders and widen out as it goes down. I'm hoping to balance things out better with the new set! That's the one thing I couldn't control about my body with diet/exercise lol sooooo I'm going to pay the PS! Haha
May 12, 2013
oh that's awesome! Yeah, I definitely think trying on some sizers are going to help you come to a better conclusion on what size to go with. well, with your height and athletic frame I bet your a larger set of breast would fit you well! :)

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. It sounds like you've gone through a healthy process of decision making over time. That's great you're doing this for yourself and no one else. Be sure to share your "wish boobs" with your PS! You may also want to ask your PS these questions during your consult. Looking forward to your updates!
May 9, 2013
Aw! Thanks for the Questions :) I'm an RN but I still did not think of some of those things to ask the PS. I sometimes feel like I know what to expect a little because I am a nurse and have even taken care of some post-op mastectomy (at least somewhat breast-related surgeries), but I'm still nervous and uncertain on what things to consider at my consultation. And what better timing because my consultation got moved up to this Monday! That definitely shed some light since I am not used to being the patient, so thank you?

Let us know how the consult goes! It will be fun to follow your story from a nurse's perspective! :)

i also wanted to go mod + but with my frame i have to do with HP's. i want to stay in the C range. My PS and i decided on 405 CC. she wrote down 375 so i think shes going to test wich looks more natural on me during surgery..
May 10, 2013
Some of the high profiles don't look so bad on some people. I definitely think it must depend on the current breast shape and tissue you have. And I believe the doc will have a couple of sizes that are close to your goal sizes during surg. I'm sure they will look awesome :)

Well, I am little iffy about the PS I'm going to now since I talked to this nurse that floated over to my unit last night. She had a tummy tuck done by a really awesome surgeon that she said actually does really fantastic BAs more so than tummy tucks. And then she told me that she has heard a few people say they've gotten really botched BA results from the PS I am going to see tomorrow morning after work!! So now I am a little nervous. haha. But of course this is just hear-say and if I don't like this doc (not that I am fond of MDs anyways, hence why i chose to be a nurse), I don't HAVE to go to him. :)
So, now I get why they say go to several PS before choosing the ONE.
P.S. I am an RN.
P.S.S. I have noticed that I know many nurses that have had successful BAs. And they're all quite awesome ladies and I trust their judgement on their thoughts on PSs just because of our increased knowledge base/experiences.
I will conclude by saying Happy Mom's Day to those of you who are a parent to Humans or Animals. And If you know a RN/Nursing Tech, tell him or her Happy-Last-Day-of Nurse Appreciation Weak!! :) tata!
