21 yo 5’5’’ 125 lbs no kids - getting 375 cc saline

WORTH IT$3,800
Drove to Tucson for my consultation I met with D. Taaki. He was great, answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I really wanted to go bigger than 375 cc but my chest is very small to begin with and my nipped are too close together. Taaki suggested my chest would look overly crowded and unnatural with a bigger size. Surgery is in a week - so nervous!! Posting my story, stay tuned.

I'm super excited to see your results! We're pretty similar in body types and I'm hoping to get my BA done in the summer!

I and 5’5” about 115. I have very little fat on me. Never had any children. Originally A cup. Got saline in July 2018. Ended up rippling and one side ended up doing something unknown but not correct. Neither also felt sturdy “in there”...ended up paying more and had to get silicone and was told it was because I had hardly any fat and my body shape of course. I know have silicone since dec 2018. I have a full C cup but again because my body shape I don’t have a cleavage standing alone. I need to wear a bra to do this. It has been 3 months now I am happy but not with the price I paid. I feel like I should have gone bigger because of my body shape not because of the size. But I still have a little rippling and I will because I have less skin. Hope this helps. A lot weighs on “your body shape” in conjunction with the cup size You hope to get. Don’t be nervous. I had less pain with silicone since incision under the breasts. The under the armpit was a disaster. Felt like forever to go away.

How was the pain right after surgery , I’m getting mine done in a few months. Surgery is what is keeping me from doing it sooner I’m very nervous never had surgery before

This was my first surgery as well, so I was also very nervous but I just knew if I waited too long I would’ve talked myself out of it and I REALLY wanted boobs lol. Immediately after the surgery I was still so numb from all the drugs but once that subsided the pain killers realllyy helped. I suggest finishing off the pain killers. My sister had her BA like 3 years go and she was miserable because she didn’t want to take her meds bc they made her feel sick (that’s what the nausea pills are for). I only took 3 days off work, i have a desk job so it was easy to go back. In those three days I just laid in bed and took it easy. Personally I think if you take your meds religiously then recovery really isn’t that bad. I loved my outcome so the pain I did experience, to me was worth it and hey, beauty is pain

Awww ok that makes me feel a lot better! :) how long was the actual surgery
April 12, 2019
My friends told me it was like an hour and a half. To me it felt like waking up from a short nap though it went by really fast for me :)
April 12, 2019

In the recovery process - not too bad! Especially with all these medications???? Dr.Taki and the nurses took great care of me! I can’t wait to take off the wrap tomorrow.

There is a lot of pressure on my chest, as if I had a really intense chest workout. Other than that it’s tolerable so far..I hear the second day may be a little more difficult, fingers crossed it goes just as smooth as today!

The wrap comes off

Finally got to take the wrap off and take my first shower. Obviously the implants are very high right now but the pain level still isn’t too bad. I’ve started taking my antibiotics. Now I’m wearing my sports bras everywhere. I’m told the tape that is over the stitches will fall off in a week, on its own. Super excited to see what they look like in a couple weeks; I will keep you updated. :)
