I have been contemplating having a BA for several years now. Things like "I'm terrified to have surgery!" and "How the hell am I going to afford that!" have definitely held me back lol This year for my 24th birthday which is this upcoming Friday (September 26th), I finally decided to go balls to the wall and give myself the gift that I really wanted. Honestly, I have no idea what size my breasts are now. I always thought a 32 B but those don't always fit (too big). I seem to have a decent amount of breast tissue until I put on a swimsuit or a top and then my breasts completely disappear. I couldn't create cleavage even if I i had a bulldozer to push the two together! I have really been struggling with size. I don't want a "rack", I just want really nice shaped full breasts. I have seen a good bit of pictures on here of women who have gotten 275cc-300cc and I think that's the range I am most comfortable. Initially at my consultation, I thought I wanted 350cc but considering the circumference of my chest is only 24 1/2 inches I think that would look huge! My best friend who has had hers done as well (by the same PS). Recommends atleast 375cc, but for some reason I don't think I'll have boobie greed. Or atleast nothing I can't get over....and if I do there's always a push up bra for that right?

Happy birthday today! Congratulations on scheduling your surgery. We would love to see some "wish boob" pictures. Feel free to post them in your review so the community can get a better idea of the look you are seeking. Here is a forum of women who are also awaiting their October 2014 BAs.

Glad you had fun on your vacation but sorry to hear about Montezuma's revenge upon your return! I would be sure to share your wish boob picture with your doctor. The size is important but so is the profile. Make sure you discuss what profile will help achieve that perky look.

The nurse followed the mentor recommendation chart and said that because my chest was so wide if I wanted to do a smaller implant that moderate profile would be my only option :/ seems like other people here have had a plastic surgeon that catered a little bit more to them. I'm hoping when I talk with him I feel more relaxed and confident.

It sounds like the nurse is taking into consideration your chest width which is very important. When do you get to talk with your doctor? Wondering if a few more "wish boob" photos would be helpful for you and your doctor to determine those last few ccs. Hang in there...it's completely normal to obsess about size!

Really wowzers you've made me want to go and get measured today! I'm only 3 weeks tho and they are still hard, small round balls. Yours look bigger than mine and I got 375cc
December 14, 2014
Everybody thinks my boobs are much more than 350 but I think its because Im very small framed up top. Im about 110lbs but all of my weight is on the bottom. Go get measured girl! :-)

Happy Birthday to me! Not so happy Pre-op appt :-/

So my birthday was friggin amazeballs! lol Spent it in Mexico with my BFF Ivana, and we had a great time. We snorkeled with sea turtles, went kayaking, got massages, laid on the beach and drank mixed drinks like water haha! But anywho, upon returning from my vacation with travelers diarrhea I might add!! (Sorry if TMI), I had my pre-op appointment the next day at Dr.Colgrove's office. I was super excited because I thought the doctor would be there and that he would draw on me and measure me again and offer more insight on this internal conflict I've been having about sizing. But when I got there, I soon realized that I would only be meeting with the nurse and NOT the surgeon :-/ Has this been the case for anybody else? I went over all of the risks and complications....which I knew most of them already because I am a nurse on a surgical floor myself, and then I told her that I was unsure about size and wanted to try on the sizers again. This time she had me try on the surgical bra with the actual breast implants not the sizers. It was helpful to see the actual size of the implants (she bought in 350cc and 375cc) but I must admit that the implants themselves looked HUGE and that scared me. I don't want a "rack" I just want nice perky full small breasts. She measured my bwd again and said that because it was 12.5 the recommended size for me would be 375cc moderate profile. Has anybody else experienced this? Being pushed to go to a larger cc implant because of bwd size? I kept emphasizing that I didn't want gigantic boobs and finally she said that she would just write down that we would do a 325cc implant that could be filled up to 375cc. I am definitelyyyyy leaning more toward 325cc, I would be very upset if I got 375cc. I am going to emphasize this to the doctor on the day of surgery as well. Like many of you, my wish boobs are a photo of Jenah Yamamoto goshhhhh her boobs are AMAZING, perfect size. Does anyone know her weight/height??? I will post pre-op pics soon. Thanks!!

Dr Colgrove saw me once before my surgery date. I think that's just how they do it
November 16, 2014
Yeah I just was very shocked that other girls on here spent so much time with their PS before the surgery. But he got the job done right so I guess I dont care about barely seeing him lol

I am just curious... You don't meet the dr colegrove on initial appointment? I have a consultation this week.
March 6, 2015

March 8, 2015

Just in case you're curious, she got 300 cc!
November 16, 2014
Thanks yeah I saw that she had 300 silicone, but I was wondering her size because her boobs look pretty big and I know silicone tends to look smaller than saline in the end.
