Hey everyone! I've been reading reviews here religiously for about a year now, and I can't believe it but it's finally my turn :) I could barely find any petite women to compare with, so I'm hoping that this will help!
Here are my stats:
Height: 5’0
Weight: 100lbs
BWD: 13cm
Cleavage gap: 3cm
Pre-op cup size: Solid 32 A
Goal size: 34B / 32 C – just big enough to have cleavage and curves!
CCs: Between 275 & 300ccs
Placement: Subglandular / over the muscle
Surgery Date: October 18th 2018
*If you’ve had a BA or are about to have one and you’re also under 5'2 and less than 120lbs or you have implants over the muscle I’d love to hear about your experience It’s been very difficult finding similar patients*
I just met Dr. Larsen at Buckhead Plastic Surgery for the first time at my pre-op (and paid in full!) today, and I'm having Very mixed feelings. He has a great personality, explained a few things and made it seem like everything would be a walk in the park for me, but I definitely felt rushed. He was pushing me towards a size that was bigger than what I wanted and I didn't get to discuss the look I'm going for or to show him my wish pics, so I'm a little worried... but he's been doing these surgeries for over 20 years and is more than qualified, so I'm hoping I can just reiterate what I want and demand a little more time to be clear on surgery day.
The biggest shock to me so far though is that I was told that Dr. Larsen prefers to go over the muscle; as long as the patient has at least ‘an inch to pinch’ of tissue at the upper part of the breast. I was terrified at first because everyone seems to do submuscular placement, but after hours of research, I think I actually prefer the over the muscle approach for me personally. No animation deformity, no lateral sagging over time, and a faster recovery (two of my family members got unders from another surgeon, and unfortunately I think they look very augmented albeit proportionate). Most surgeons say it looks less natural, but I actually think it’s the other way around when the original tissue is thick enough.
Lastly, I'm stuck on sizing! The office only had 250 or 350 and nothing in between, and the 250s looked a bit small while the 350s (what the consultant and Dr. Larsen recommended) made me look very top heavy. They didn't object when I said that 275 or 300 at most was probably a good happy medium, so I'm going with that as of right now. Super indecisive though... we'll see!

Sizers & Lack of Support..
So the other day I asked if I could see the doctor again before my surgery since I felt a little rushed, and my consultant asked if I'd like to come in for 3D sizing since the Vectra system was up and running. I reluctantly agreed, but I have to say- it really helped! I definitely feel like 275ccs is the highest I would go, as the 300s give me the 'bolted on' look that I'm desperate to avoid. My cleavage gap is wide to begin with and I'm fine with it, so I feel like I shouldn't go bigger just to try and fix that. I can always push them together!
Also.. how do you guys deal with having little to no support? I just got off the phone with a close family friend who practically begged me not to go through with the surgery, and of course I'm long past the point of no return with full payment down and surgery in 11 days. My dad also made a statement the other day saying "I totally support you, but there's just no way any woman gets boobs for herself- it's always for men."- and it infuriated me. People honestly often find me attractive the way I am, and I love my body the way it is. I just want boobs 100% because I want boobs; not to impress anyone, not because I don't love myself, not for any other reason. Mostly though, the people I've told have said: "you're fine the way you are, but it's your body". I feel so alienated after wanting this so badly and saving for so long, and I'm starting to wonder if I made the right choice.

I've been struggling with the same thing, I'd love to go through the with surgery but feel like the people who "support" me are also subtly throwing shade by saying, "you're perfect the way you are". I don't think you're making the wrong decision. If it's what you want, 100% go after it. Most men will never understand the amount of things women do for themselves. I know my father wouldn't understand either. It's an old school mentality but he will love you no matter what. As long as you're happy. You're going to look and feel amazing. Good luck with everything!
P.S. I'm also a petite 34 A, 115 lbs. Would love to see your after photos if you're willing to share. I agree it's difficult to find pictures that give me confidence with this procedure for petite women.

Thank you, that means a lot! :) I'm starting to get a little more excited now that I've realized that I can do this on my own and still be just as happy- who cares what everyone else thinks? I'll definitely be posting throughout my journey, stay tuned!

Counting down.. Prescriptions & To-Do List
Just picked up my prescriptions, surgery is 8 days away and everything is starting to feel a little more real! I ended up paying out of pocket for my prescriptions, which came to about $60 after using goodrx for coupons. I got muscle relaxers, sleep aid, antibiotics, anti-nausea, and pain medication.
I've also made a small shopping list of things that I need to have done or pick up before surgery:
1. Buy Gatorade, water bottles and stool softener
2. Borrow button-up shirts/pjs from family to wear for the first few days
3. Clean the house/my room, do laundry and run all errands
4. Label a bunch of sandwich bags to put medication in after surgery so I can easily take them myself
5. Set up all medications in Medisafe (my med reminder app, works wonders)
6. Get my hair braided, wax and take a long bubble bath while I still can! lol
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but I like to think I've gotten the basics. Just over a week to go!

Height 5’0
Weight : 94lbs
Bra size pre : 32AA cup.
I went with 240 and 220cc over the muscle under the sub facial.
My recocery was very quick. No pain really just tender here and there. My result is VERY natural and I had very little breast tissue. You cannot see the side of the implants at all. My goal was also to be either a 34B or 32 C and I am meauring at Aerie as a 32D :) I too had a very hard time finding people with similar stats as I am very petite. Hope this helps.
