Excited and Freaking Out - Atlanta, GA
ORIGINAL POST
Hi Ladies! I'm a little nervous about doing a BA....
$4,000
Hi Ladies! I'm a little nervous about doing a BA. I've never been put to sleep (other than having my wisdom teeth out @ 22 yrs old - and it was painless). So it's freaking me out a little. A little about myself...5ft 2in tall - 116 lbs - 34 A (on a good day) and no children. I feel very comfortable with my Dr. and his staff :) I have always wanted bigger boobs but was hesitant to spend the money and worried about the recovery time.
I've decided (I think) on 400 - 425cc high profile Mentor Implant (silicone). If anybody is close to my size before and has gotten that size implant please let me know, I would love to see how they look. Also, if anybody has any suggestions or advice about size please let me know.
Soon I will no longer be on the itty-bitty-[RS bleep]- committee :)
Oh! And I will post pics soon too.
Thanks!

Ok Ladies I need some help! I went to my pre-op yesterday and showed my pictures and talked to the nurse and chose my size 400 and 425! Then i started to talk about the cleavage and she said "oh he already chose the ultra high profile for you because of your lack breast tissue". Now I told her I don't want to look like victoria beckham or Tori Spelling and she said "oh no, you wont look like that! You'll look great!" So now I'm looking up uhp implants pics and there isnt a lot out there. Now I'm also reconsidering my choice of cc. What do you guys think? I need advice, do i go down in size?

I am sure your doctor knows best. I can't imagine he or she would make you look like something you don't want to look like. I was really scared about the cc. I mean I was all you really want to put 400cc in me?!?! That seems like a lot but 2 days post op and I think I look great. I got 400. I finally figured out how to put pics up so check them out.

You do look great! I'm feeling better about my size. When I decided to do this I said to my husband...I want to be proportional plus a little - no more and no less. Well, I have wider hips, a smallish waist and NOTHING on top. So when I do this it will be a big change but I keep telling myself it doesn't matter what anybody else says, they are for me! The profile is what freaked me out but you have a high profile and they look great and the ultra high profile is hardly a difference at all. So I just have to keep the imaginary image OUT of my head and keep the realistic one in there. Thanks for sharing your story and experience with me:)

Yeah I was 36 hips 25 waist and 32 chest. Not sure what I am now but I think I look proportionate now. Soon you will be on this side and loving everything. Well other than the tightness.

Trust. Your doctor. I think that is the hard part. You bave to trust his experience doing this vs your fear. Ask him what moderate profile would look like and why he does not recommend for you. Its all in the measurements :)
Or get a second opinion..nothing wrong wig doing that. This is a big lifelong decision you are making and you need to be comfortable with it.

I guess I'm just being paranoid. I do trust my doc and he was my third consult, but I'm such a freak about things sometimes! Ha Ha! And all of the PS I went to said to do the high or ultra high implant bc my measurement is so small (11.5 cm). I want to know what it's going to look like and make changes to it if need be before I commit to it. Well after Thursday there will be no more changes. And by making changes I mean it would be small nit picky things that no one can see or do anything about. I think they should have a catalog of boobs and you go in pick out a pair perfect for you and just snap them on like - Mr. Potato Head boobs or rather Mrs. Potato Head.

Paranoid is normal. Did you read my posts? I wanted. To cancel after I paid my deposit. LOL
Go with high if you have hesitation about the ultra high.
I was worried about a two tablespoon difference but wanted to be too small than too big...and happy with my outcome.
Either way whatever you go with will be perfect for you and your body. Its much better once you are on the other side, so keep breathing deep until you get there :)

Ha ha... "Mr. Potato Head boobs". They'd make even MORE money with that technology. It's interesting that you said multiple doctors recommended ultra-high for you. That makes me think that your doctore really IS right... and he's the expert, after all. My TOTAL guess is that, since you're really tiny, ultra highs will fit best given the measurements of your chest and the cc's you want. You won't look like Mrs. Beckham - hers were over the muscle. I'm pretty sure. And I think Tori had some other factors going into it - like the structure of her chest/ribcage. It's totally, totally normal to rethink your choices. I chose my range w/ my doc and let him do the rest. You'll be so glad when you're out of the "decision making" and on to the "healing".

Thursday is the day! I'm TRYING to not panic and I'm taking deep breaths :)

Put up some before pics. Uhp is good for small rib cage. You prob won't have any side boob. I am going with hp. I want them out in front not around sides lol
September 17, 2013
I'll put up some pics tonight once I figure out how, lol! I 'd like a little side boob but I'm like you, I want the girls front and center :)

Suprisingly calm today
I'm not sure why but I'm surprisingly calm today. Not really sure why? I woke up this morning and was in a frenzy cleaning and anxious and just jittery. I think i just worked myself up and then crashed...took a long nap and woke up calm. Weird right? I can't believe it's on Thursday. THIS THURSDAY! So much to do but it will get done before surgery, right? I hope so.
Thanks Ladies for all your feedback and words of encouragement. It means so much to have support from all of you wonderful women!
Happy healing! :)
