Hi! I am just starting my BA journey. I am so happy I found this site. I have been enjoying reading other women's experiences with BA. I have been on the smaller side. My breasts were a 32 AA . I am 5'6" 115lbs. I have been obsessed with breasts every since I was very young. I can remember waiting for my breasts to develop. All my girl friends were growing these big full breasts & mine weren't. By the age of 16 I was ready but my body wasn't cooperating. At age 17 I had my first child straight out of highschool. I got pregnant with my second 5 months after giving birth. I now have 4 children. I have breastfed all 4. I just finished breastfeeding my youngest 4 months ago. I breastfed her 2 yrs. While breastfeeding my breasts were a full C and I was in love! They were full, firm & so perky. But now that I am not breastfeeding they have shrunk back to a small 32 A. I miss having full breasts. So I have decided to reward myself for breastfeeding 4 children with a breast augmentation. I had my first consult Friday . It went very well. The surgery center was gorgeous and the nurses were so sweet. Trying on all the sizers was so much fun. Just being in the room with all those silicon implants was exciting! I looked at the before & afters and decided on placement & incision. The doctor came in & measured me and answered a my questions. He has 30 yrs experience and I feel completely confident in his skills. I paid my deposit & scheduled my surgery. My pre-op is Jan 31st & my surgery date is Feb.16. It will be so hard to wait 6 months! I am incredibly excited & will be posting about my experience. I am still trying to decide my size. I am debating between a small D or a full D. I will be getting either 450-500 CCs sientra silicone high profile under the muscle with areola incision.

Hi! Welcome to the site! I looked at this site/app for 2.5 months til the day of my surgery and have been obsessed with finding out every bit of info. Why are you waiting so long to get yours done? Also 450-500 is a good size. If you don't have a lot of breast tissue 500 might be too much but it's all up to the look you're going for. I got 450cc HP (under the muscle/below the crease) even though I went in thinking I would do 400cc's! It really isn't a huge difference though. Not sure if you can access this link but it shows the difference between 25cc's. If the link doesn't work check out @torontocosmeticclinic on IG and scroll down to the video of the girl holding two implants: https://instagram.com/p/BVDVUYUhd-7/

Hi! Thanks so much for the helpful information. I will definitely check out the video. The reason I scheduled my BA 6 months out is for several reasons but the main one being I am on a medication that may interfere with the general anaesthesia. So as a precaution I am trying to taper off the medication before I go in. Even though my doctor said there was only a small chance of it being a problem I don't want to take that chance. I am also using this time to cleanse my body in preparation for surgery. It also gives me more time to research . I may end up moving my surgery date up. I put it out further then I thought I needed because my PS does not allow you to move your date back they only allow you to move it forward. So if I scheduled t too soon then I wouldn't be able to change date. The size I am going for is a full D or even small DD. When I was breastfeeding I was a full C small D which I loved but still wanted them larger. That's why I want to go full D but I finding out that 400ccs on one girl is not the same as on another. So it can be really confusing lol I am so happy I found this site. Everyone had been so helpful it's been very helpful. Thanks so much!

Sorry I didn't mean to pry and ask why you're waiting so long...I wish you the best on your journey and I'm sure you will be very well prepared when the time comes! Love the wish pics! You're right cc's do look different on everyone, you just have to try the sizers to really know what you want!

It's no problem I don't mind. I didn't think you were prying at all. In fact I would be wondering the same thing if it wasn't me. lol I wish I could take the sizers home with me lol Another girl on here told me about rice sizers so I am going to try and make my own and play around with the sizes. Thanks so much.

I thing the same like you, if you want to go to a D or DD, you should think about 450ccs. You have the advantage that your breast is already relatively large

What kind of medicine if you don't mind me asking? I'm on a medicine called suboxone and I'm worried that it might affect me too

Ok think I just deleted my comment. I believe your doing the right thing, research! I never considered the emotional toll on you and possible healing complications like I am going thru. I am spitting sutures petty bad and had some pretty big pen wounds at my T junction from my BL/BA 7/24/17. Check my journey out sometime. Your PS Gould give you a range of ccs to choose from aft r getting your bwd. I got 500cc mentor gel mod+ profile. I was given a range of 350-600cc. Do your homework, write your ? down for your PS. I hope this was helpful. If you are traveling far like out of state, consider wisely as I seen many ladies have problems and it's hard getting proper care. I had to see my PS every week for 3-4 weeks dealing my my wounds. Keep us posted! Good luck.

Thank you so much. You are so right! Before I found this site I had no idea what a huge decision getting a BA is. I just thought it was a simple procedure but it's not. I had no idea about the emotional aspect of it . I knew their were risks but I had never heard of spitting stitches. I am so thankful to women like you who is sharing their journey it really helps me and others like me know what to expect & what to look for questions to ask. My BWD is between 12.5-13. My PS said I would need to go HP & I could go up to 600cc. I am going 2 read your review now. Thanks so much!!

Thank you! I think 450 would be a good size. I actually chose 450 at my first consult but I am second guessing myself I tried on 550 and it felt HUGE! Lol

Omg! Yess! I know exactly how you feel. That's one of the reasons why I scheduled it so far out help build my courage I am extremely excited & slightly terrified lol It gets better though. the more research I do. I feel more comfortable I am with the idea. I hope everything goes well for you. Do you know what size your getting? I am leaning towards 500/550

Looks like we have pretty similar body types! I'm excited to follow your journey and glad you posted on mine! Do you know what your BWD is?
User Avatar
September 7, 2017
Thank you! I am trying to find other girls with similar body types because I think it really helps to see their results & get a really good idea of what mine will be . so obviously I was super excited when I found your posts. My BDW is 12.5-13. That's why my PS suggested HP and I actually would have chosen it anyway because I love the look of them.

I completely agree with that and have tried to do the same! =) Do you know the diameter of your implant? I think my BWD is 11 on the right breast and 11.5 on the left breast but I measured them myself because my PS does not do that measurement for breast augmentation. He only does it for lifts I guess. Since I measured them myself I cannot be 100% sure they are totally accurate but I think I have it pretty close. I was leaning towards 450 cc but since my BWD is smaller I have kind of backed down to 400 cc. I like the look of HP as well!

Im 29 yrs, 5’4 115lbs mommy of 5. My bwd 11 / 11.5 just got 525cc mentor smooth round hp unders. Went from flat chest to atleast 34dd. Havent got fitted yet as im only one wk post. Initially i was leaning towards the 450cc mark. Then i just knew i wanted 500cc. I thought i was certain that would be my size but the day of surgery I asked for 525cc. My ps wasnt sure if all that was going to fit but it did! Thats about the only thing I remember him saying when i woke from the Anastasia.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have stretch marks on your boobs from bf? I have my consult in a couple weeks, and was trying to figure out if this is gonna be an issue. I don't have anything deep or dark, but I know they're there
October 25, 2017
Hi, I had light stretch marks on mine and I can barely see them after they've been stuffed and stretched to capacity!! Lol my PS was worried I might get some after but I'm 5 months post and no new ones - I was 34a 1 child, I had 325cc HP overs and am now 34d. Hope this helps as its good to get comparisons! Good luck :)

I want to say thank you to all the amazing girls who have been so helpful. I am enjoying watching everyone's journey. It's amazing to see how the breast change over such a short period of time. I am very excited and super ready to start this journey. I am thinking of moving my surgery date up to November. I am posting pictures of my breasts while breastfeeding i loved how big and full they were. If I could have that size all the time i wouldnt even be going in for BA. Also posting some wish boobs pics.

I know I'm only three weeks post . I went 520 cc under the muscle. When I'm in clothes I don't feel big at all. But a swim suit or bra they are looking nice. Sometimes I wish I went bigger because in dresses or cute [RS bleep] you can't like really really tell. So I'm hoping they heal good. Just make sure you choose the right sizers I liked the 480/540 so I went in between because I want a natural look as well.

Omg your wish boobs are goals LOL got to add them to mine.
