WORTH IT
Well like many other women on here, I have been looking for weeks, and decided to write my experience with BA. Well, I have been thinking about having a BA for 20 years. I have spent my whole adult life feeling like a teenage boy, Ive never felt like a woman, and never a sexy one at that! My small boobs have always bothered me. Over the years I have thought 'ok Im doing it!' only to think, no its too expensive, I should be lucky with what I have, it could be worse, I should just be lucky to have a good job, roof over my head, plenty to eat.. I thought when I get married Ill be happy and I won't need this... Im now married to a wonderful supportive amazing man .. but the feeling of wanting bigger boobs always comes back. Its like a wave that constantly comes and goes, but it always comes back. SO! I talked to my husband about it and he originally said no, don't do it. But he knows how much I really want this and eventually said, "you know what, you only live once and I want you to be happy, and feel like the sexy woman that you are" ... So I did some research, well LOTS of research and had 2 consultations. I am from Sydney, Australia. And I have decided on Dr Mayson at Breast Excellence in Sydney. I am getting (after much thought) 350cc teardrop Furry Brazilians. I decided on these as they don't rotate, but I am worried as I have read that they are firmer and don't drop like other implants..? Does anyone know of Dr Mayson and have any thoughts on the Furry Brazilians? I am also very thin and worried that 350cc is too big for my small frame. I paid my $2000 AUD deposit today and I am excited, but also soooooo worried I have made a bad decision going with the furrys. So about my stats: 170cm (5.5 feet) 50kg (110 pounds) Current breast size full A cup hoping to be a C cup Ill add some photos next post :)

I highly recommend Dr Mayson and his team at Breast Excellence Sydney. I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed with Dr Mayson on my first consultation. Dr Mayson is the only Dr I know of who offers a whole 2 hour consultation, which was extremely informative. I felt he listened to what I wanted, and I trusted his judgement. He gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. I truly believe Dr Mayson cares about his patients. I think he is a true perfectionist, and this is the kind of Dr you want when having such an important and expensive surgery! I am so happy with my results after only 3 weeks, and I can't wait to see how they are going to look in 12 months time when they fully soften. All the girls at Breast Excellence were amazing, kind and so supportive, always taking their time to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. Im so happy to finally feel like a woman! Thank you Dr Mayson.

I've actually never heard of that implant before. And I have smooth round implants. So I can't give advice on the implant type. But I can honestly say, given we are the same size all the way around, that 350cc will not look too big on you. I have 365cc (very close to 350) and most people have no idea I've had it done (even family members). And others have noticed. But I don't think mine are too big for my frame, so you will be good! Honestly I still wish I could've gone bigger! But my skin was too tight for that and my chest wall is too narrow to throw 450cc implants in right out of the gates. :( so I'll have to increase my size later down the road. But you'll be fine! Does your doctor have sizers at their office?

Thank you so much for your comment, I feel better hearing that! :) yes my dr reccomemded the 350cc, I tried on the sizers, and they felt huge but after having no boobs for ever I guess anything will feel huge! Lol :) I don't think they use the furrys in USA. ? You have made me feel much better, I am so worried about people at work noticing, because I know everyone is so against breast implants (I'm a nurse) and everyone has such strong opinions. I have to just keep reminding myself I'm doing this for myself. It's so great having this forum with such supportive women to chat to who have already gone before you, so to speak :)

I don't think they do use those here. Mine feel huge sometimes, especially after not having any. Haha Yeah don't worry! Honestly, before BA I wore tons of loose tops and when I wear those tops now, you seriously can't tell a difference. No one knew until I wore a really tight fitting shirt and even then some people were still not sure. And I thought lots of people would be against it, but no one has tried to lecture me about mine. Not even my dad! Also, most people are too afraid to ask, so I wouldn't worry too much. :)

Hi! I'm a bit nervous that the folks I work with will notice, as well. We're around the same build and weight, but I went with a smaller implant because I just couldn't see myself in anything larger. My decision for augmentation was based on gaining my breasts back and not about size....but, I believe it will still be noticed by some either way. So, if they ask you - hopefully between now and then you'll have some pithy response for the rude co-workers! Weeks before my surgery my PS recommended that I use shoulder pads in my bra and gradually build it up with more over the weeks so the people at work wouldn't notice when I do have the implants in place. So, I did that. I was a B cup, borrowed several C cups from my kid and starting wearing them and avoided flowing shirts ....a more tailored shirt/henley. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the great tips ladies :) baggy shirts and shoulder pads :) I'm going to be doing both! Yes I now have 6 weeks to prepare a response for rude remarks... I know they will be coming, but like you said tangerine, I just have to stop worrying so much
User Avatar

So far what I've noticed is that most women are curious, and men are the ones that make the comments. I've already gotten some pretty strange remarks from men I work with. But the girls I know just want theirs done now or they don't really care! Obviously you'll get some rude comments, I certainly did. If you're worried about people noticing, I definitely would try different clothes to make the change look less conspicuous. For me, I always wore loose fitting tops because I hated how small my breasts looked so I tried to hide it as often as I could. So the transition was easy for me. Until I went out and bought tight fitting tops! Haha

June 6, 2016
Lol :) yeah I guess your right, men will notice ... I'm the same, always wear loose tops and have always worn patted bras, I'm always self conscious. I haven't told anyone apart from my husband and sister, so it's going to be interesting !! :)

Also, did your doctor recommend an implant size?
June 5, 2016
Hi there, I've not heard of the specific implant that you are going for, however I just had the Natrelle tearshape textured implants in 375ccs. My stats are a bit different from yours I'm not a slim and a bit shorter :D I've just had my surgery 4 days ago and very happy so far. Go check out my profile for pictures and more info if you are interested. Good luck on your boob journey!

Hi thanks for the comment :) just had a look at your pics, they look fantastic!! You look like you had bigger boobs than me to start with, yours look great, nice and natural, nice slope to them, I hope my tear drops give the same shape as yours have. I hope your recovery continues to go well :) x
June 8, 2016
Aww thank you! I'm very happy with both the size and shape so far. I feel they look very natural and can't wait to be in a normal bra and top. I'm still in the surgical bra for the next 2-3weeks and need to wear the chest strap thing for 7-10 more days 24/7. So I need to wear t-shirts to hide the strap and can't show the new girls off yet lol

ok, I have finally worked up the courage to add my flat chest photos. I have been feeling very nervous since I paid my deposit. I want this so much, but at the same time feeling guilty about spending the money, and worried about what people are going to say. I have never cared what people think of me before, I don't know why I am now!

I have a similar shape. I am still trying to decide about size. I plan to have my BA in September. I have two grown children, and like you, I always thought about doing it, but now I feel that I am ready to take that next step. I wish you the best.
User Avatar
June 2, 2016
Thank you :) I'm still nervous about size too, I think us thin girls worry about being too big. Good luck with your BA, I'll keep updating so you can see how mine go in July. I think it's a good thing to take years to make this decision, you know it's right when you finally go ahead, all the best with yours also :)

6 weeks to go

well I am just over 6 weeks to surgery.. so excited and of course still nervous. I have added the photo of the 350cc sizers I tried on in my PS office. I got my pre op package in the mail yesterday. I am worried he has given me very mild pain killers, I have a codeine allergy, so I guess he is kind of limited in what he can give me. I am really worried about having to sleep on my back for so long, I already have back pain from an old injury, .. the back pain worries me more than the BA pain! .. Anyway, can't imagine what its going to feel like to look down and see breasts!! :)

We are similar in stature, however, my shoulders are narrow. I am thinking of 350-375, but I don't want to look too big either. It's a tough decision.
User Avatar
June 8, 2016
it sure is! there is no real going back (well, not without more surgery!) As far as I can see everyone on here goes through the same anguish... so at least we know we are not alone :)
June 8, 2016
The 350 sizers look good on you!
User Avatar
June 8, 2016
Oh thanks :) they felt huge on... But now looking at them they look ok.. Just not use to seeing boobs or feeling the weight either
June 8, 2016
If you go under the muscle you will "loose" some Ccs so bare that in mind as well :)
User Avatar
June 8, 2016
Yes, that's true,I must keep that in mind. My PS said I should go under the muscle as I have limited breast tissue to being with

Yeah, they are used a lot in Australia, and a lot in Europe, not sure why they are not used in the U.S. They have been used for 30 years. Dr Daniel Fleming is the expert in Australia, if you google him he has made a few YouTube videos on them. I couldn't get him as my PS as he is in Queensland and has a huge waiting list

I think it might be because of the outer shell material. I don't know for sure though. There aren't very many brands approved in the US for silicone implants. But I can tell you the cohesive gel feels super natural!
User Avatar
June 9, 2016
Oh thats good!, these ones Im getting are cohesive gel. But your right, they have that polyurethane 1mm coating on the outside. They do feel a bit different, and apparently slight less softer than the normal cohesive gel. Just found the exact ones I'm getting they are made by a German Company called Polytech, HP high projection implants... God hope they are not too pointy! My PS said I have a long chest wall, and a small distance between my nipple and breast crease... I trust him.. *fingers crossed*

I also have high profile implants and I love them. Good luck I can't wait to see more updates! :)
June 9, 2016
those sizers look natural on you. As for pain...well everyone is different. I had a lift with my augmentation and the only real pain I had was when they woke me up from the surgery. I felt the wrappings were way too tight. But, when I fully awoke at 7 PM that night I had no constant pain. I don't think I've touched the hydrocodone. Valium once or twice only at bedtime and only in case zingers might happen while I tried to sleep. What I'm saying is - you might be surprised at how painless it actually might be for you. Good luck!!

Thank you for the positive comments :) I hope so, only time will tell I guess ... I think I have a good pain tolerance... Mind you I have never given birth! Even if I do have pain, the temporary pain will well be worth it to have nicer bigger boobs
June 10, 2016
What I've learned over the years is mind over matter. Try to be positive each day...find something positive even if the boobs are in the ugly duckling stage. And always keep moving forward. It's only temporary. :-)
