I’m not entirely sure where to begin. Like many of you here, I wasn’t blessed with full sized breasts and it does take a toll on one’s self-esteem. Once high school was over I’ve contemplated breast augmentations since but decided to brush the desire aside and thought hopefully I could learn to love my body as is. College came and went but the feeling of dissatisfaction still lingers from within. The reality is that I’m unhappy with the size of my breasts. Being that I fit a 34A/32B Victoria Secret (push up) I’ve always desired to be a full C cup. I weigh about 119 lbs with a height of 5 ft 2. Now that I’m 26 years old with no children, I have decided that it’s now or never. Upon intensive research and obsession I’ve decided to reach out for Dr. Jabs at Cosmetic Surgery in Bethesda, MD for a consultation.
There were many reasons why I chose Dr. Jabs as my surgeon. One of which was because of his presence. The level of comfortability was clearly evident from the moment I entered his office upon meeting him for the first time. He answered all my questions patiently and offered me very helpful inputs for trying to achieve a natural looking result. Dr. Jabs also has many 5 star reviews from Realself.com and after visiting his website/reading the experiences of his prior patients, I’ve gained confidence that he is the right surgeon for me. My coordinator Christina was amazing and helpful as well. I called several times due to my excitement and uncertainty to size and just to have my questions answered. She picked up Everytime and was very patient with me. During the consult, I brought along my 22 year old sister for a second opinion on size and having two females there really helped me with my decision. I initially wanted 350 cc silicone implants but decided to go with a 375 cc instead. From what I’ve read you apparently lose 25 cc once going under the muscle and the difference between the two is pretty unnoticeable. I figured if I’m going to get it done, might as well up it a little. Heh.
So I had my initial consultation on Friday, June 26th, 2015. I then immediately booked for my surgery date on Monday, July 20th, 2015. As I am writing this today is Thursday, July 16, 2015. I can’t believe how fast the weeks are flying by. The doctor recommended that I don’t drive for a week. Therefore, I requested a week off from work and used my 5 day vacation to recover. Words cannot fully express the level of excitement and anticipation that I am feeling right now. It intensifies as the days approach my surgery date.
My boyfriend initially did not like the idea of me going for a breast augmentation. He fears that it will change me. I could not agree with him more. Indeed I will be a changed woman and I will be happier with more confidence. I never thought that this day would come. It hit me when I was reading a comment from a 60+ lady on real self who commented that she wished she had gone through this process in her youth. Yea I didn't want to picture myself in her shoes. Life is too short to be unhappy. Therefore, I'm doing this for me and my future happiness. I can't wait!!!
Anyhow, I’m sorry I wrote so much. I had a lot to vent. I haven’t even told any of my friends or other family members about this procedure. I’ll just let them find out once I’m healed and recovered. Been laying low since work invaded my life. It feels great to know that for once I’m doing something for me. I apologize for not posting any pictures of my current breasts, I promised my BF no nude pics online. Thank you to those brave girls out there who actually did their reviews, your experiences really do help people like me who have been contemplating this procedure but was hesitant. Again, thank you.

I had a consultation with Dr. Jabs last week and I agree, everyone there has been so friendly and helpful! I'm going to schedule my surgery soon, but I wish you best of luck with yours. Can't wait to read more about your experience!

July 19, 2015
My BA is tomorrow too!!! I am so incredibly nervous yet excited at the same time. I am excited to see how yours turn out and to hear about your experience....Post pics post op!

July 19, 2015
Yay! Congrats and good luck! My bf doesn't like me posting pics of my boobs but I'll def sneak a pic of my medical bra. Front view and side view. :))

Hi I commend you!!! I visited Dr Jabs on the same day of your surgery!! I took my sister for what I thought was a lift which she actually underwent an augmentation. After being in the recovery room with her, I asked Trish, the nurse about the procedure and decided I would schedule an appt. My surgery is Sept 4th!!! I am a AA cup after 3 kids so my husband was not thrilled but as I compare and show pics of breasts I desire to have... He gets more excited.. Sorry for the long comment but I'm sooo happy for you!!!

July 31, 2015
Aw thank you. I'm excited for you! Make sure you have your prescription refills in advance and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for your sweet comment! :))

Size indecisiveness
Eh, surgery is on Monday coming up. Thought I was confident about my size of choice but now I just don't know. This is such a tough decision. Maybe I'm losing it.

I'm actually got my BA four days ago and resting in bed right now as I'm reading this. I have the same problem like you about the sizing, going back and forth between 350cc/ 375cc. I didn't make a dicicion until that morning of my surgery date. I ended up with 375cc HP. I'm so happy

July 18, 2015
Oh wow! Congrats! Yea I'm most likely going to stick with 375cc if my surgeon tells me that 400cc is not porportionate. Initially it was 350 that I wanted but if I lose cc under the muscle I thought it would be best to be at least 50cc or 25cc higher than desired. Can't wait for this journey to actually happen. I'm so anxious...
July 19, 2015
Gosh this is my exact problem too!! 350 or 375 HP.... Can't decide!!!! Going in Monday to try on sizers with tight clothes of mine to make the decision or go smaller.
July 19, 2015
I got 325cc same height as you but my initial cup size was 32a. Today is my second day from surgery and theyre really sore. I wish you luck. I wish there was a better way to not feel this sore

I went through the same thing back and forth with size and mod or HP.. But 25cc is such a minor difference. I went from 32 Ato 32DD with 425cc gel HP and I am 6 weeks post and the DD i still pop out of.
There were two other surgeons that I was interested in scheduling a consult for but their receptionist was not too phone pleasant. I asked a question regarding insurance since i had not met my deductibles and the lady was getting impatient with me. Both doctor's office for Dr. Mess and Dr. Oldham I ended up never even getting a chance to schedule a consult due to the phone first impression of the receptionist answering. But when I called to inquire about Dr. Jab's consultation for a BA I was treated so kindly and respectfully even though I had a lot of concerning questions to ask prior to scheduling a consult. So to answer your question I ended up only having a consult with Dr. Jabs. No regrets here so far. I understand your decisiveness regarding size. Since you have a few months before the surgery have you tried on different sizers to see which is more suitable? I worry a lot about being too big because I don't want to look too top heavy but I'm also worrying about not being big enough also. Weird I know. Definitely bring someone with you for a second hand opinion beside the doctor. When I met with my doctor I told him it would either be a 325 or 350cc that I'm interested in because I wanted a full C cup. The first thing I tried on was a 350cc and it looked so amazing...slightly too heavy but just right for my figure. My coordinator agreed as well. I looked it and told them, yup this is it. But a week later I called my coordinator if I could go up 25cc because I found out about the whole losing cc under the muscle claim. & she confirmed it was true..so I'm doing 375cc. So excited!
I think if your stat is similar to mines and you're trying to achieve a full c cup...anything 400+ will put you in the D range. It all depends on what look you're going for. I was contemplating 400cc too but I'm afraid being a 32b/34a I won't have enough breast tissue to accommodate for the stretch and don't want to deal with too many consequences. Let me know what you finally decide. As for me, I'm set for 375cc...no more change of hearts :)
