WORTH IT$4,800

I am 20 years old, 5'5, 113 lbs and VERY flat chested, 34 AA! SO ready for this to change! Hoping to be a full C cup. I have chosen silicone implants and go next week to decide on how many cc's. I want to look natural, but a large natural if that makes sense. I'm thinking 350-400? I'm much more concerned with looking portionable and natural than just having big boobs. So I'm open for suggestions! SO nervous about surgery that I almost begin to feel sick. Then I remember how long and how badly I've been waiting for this and I feel better about making such a BIG decision. (No pun intended!) :)

Yay! Another young one! Lol I'm 20 also and have mine scheduled for aug 30! Can't wait!!! I think 350 would look great! A lot of smaller girls tend to stay within the 300-375 range!

Yeah, I thought about waiting until I was a little older and a little more finically stable but I really don't want to go ANY longer without them! I can't wait either! Hope everything goes PERFECT for you!

Congratulations! I was also very small with little breast tissue. I'm 5'1 and 113lbs. I went with 380cc silicone implants under the muscle. I wear 34C to 34D depending on the bra. But I think I'm truly a C cup. Feel free to check out my profile.

Thank you and congratulations to you on such awesome results! I'm definitely thinking 350-380cc's but I go this Friday to make my final decision! Thanks for the help!

I'm 5'4" 34A wanting a full C... and at my first consult the PS suggested I get 350 filled to 375cc saline, however I am Terrified I will look to top heavy with that size! I want to be natural looking with my same shape (I have now) just Bigger! LOL Also Saline supposedly looks bigger than silicone of the same size cc's! You'r results are Amazing & I would LOVE it if I got you'r results! I really want silicone for the softness, but they cost a good bit more & I'm too worried I would have a silent rupture. :/ The Gummy bear implant is an option though hmmmm.... ;) Where was you'r incision done? The PS said my areola was too small & she doesn't really like the risks involved with going through the armpit and that that could also cause asymmetry!

... also I'm gonna be doing mine under the muscle!

AvaMarie93

Omg I was so afraid of looking top heavy also! I was stuck between 350-400ccs... Which really isn't a major difference in size but my doctor told me that if you're stuck between two sizes, it's usually best to go with the larger size! So I went with 400ccs! I'm sooooo glad too! The first few days I thought I looked HUGE and fake but when you go from an A cup to a full C cup in just a day, it's going to feel like you're huge for a while!! After you get use to them though, it's amazing lol. My incision is through the crease, my doctor also told me my nipples were too small for areola incisions! When is you're surgery date??! :)

While you're waiting for your pre op appointment, you can make rice sizers at home, if you haven't already. Here is a quick video on how to make them. Also, RealSelf has just created a Guide to Breast Aug "slang." Take a look at it and let me know what you all think about it. Is it helpful or do you have additional questions that aren't answered in the guide. Good luck at your appointment. Keep us posted!

AvaMarie93

July 24, 2013

Thank you! I have done the rice test with what would be 350cc's and I really liked them but may go a little bigger! I will post pictures soon of the rice sizers and ask for some opinions! Thank you for your advice, it means a lot to someone who is very nervous and unsure of a lot things! :)

Hi Carribea_2017, sometimes the links do not hold. I'll try again here and I'll also post it on your review. You can also type the guide title "Breast Implants Guide: Frequently Asked Questions" into the RealSelf search bar. Keep in mind that forums and guides are not yet accessible via the app. Hope this helps!

Your lab work is a basic cbc to make sure you have no active infection anywhere. Just to make sure you are healthy enough to have surgery and day of they will give you a preg test just to make sure!

ypur lab work is ypur blood work! i think they also check your blood pressure as well! some docters request a consent form from your primary care docter to have the right to operate! i know mine did! i think because i went out of state! idk!

Day of treatment

Finally DONE!

AvaMarie93August 10, 2013

I got my breast augmentation done yesterday morning! I finally choose to do 400cc's. I felt like I would look really big and fake but I've been told its better to go a little bigger than smaller and I definitely didn't want to be disappointed with going too small. I haven't felt much pain, other than immediately after surgery I felt horrible. Now I feel great but still trying to take things easy! So glad I decided on using Dr. Hedden, he's great and an all around perfect doctor! So far I'm happy with my results but I know I still have a lot of dropping to do! I don't have any before pictures but I was a very small A cup.

20 years old with silicone? I thought you had you had to be at least 22 per the FDA regulations.

AvaMarie93

August 12, 2013

I thought so too, which was really disappointing to me at first because I did NOT want to wait 2 years and I also did not want saline. My doctor told me the reason why he was allowed to do silicone in girls under the age of 22 I just don't remember his exact reasoning. I would try to explain but I would just sound stupid.
