Hi ladies! So here I am, never thought I was going to get BA until I breast feed my 1st child. My breast was small compared to my frame (broad shoulder, wide chest). I wore 32C VS Body push up before kid, it filled up but I don’t think my babies were C. After kid, they were deflated which made me totally lost my confidence although I didn’t mind about my small breast before that. So one day I decided to go ahead and searched for doctors around my area. I did my research before meeting anyone. I know I want a full C, small D, natural looking breast, with slope, not round or big and high upper pole “fake” looking. I met with Dr. Ho. She was very attentive and listen to what I want. She suggested to go with Mentor because the brand studies showed 0% in AALCL and rotation which I find kind of true after browsing through forum in Realself. To have my desired looking breast, she suggested 375cc in moderate height and moderate plus projection. The date was booked on Nov 8, less than 2 weeks to go. So exited and can’t wait to upgrade my babies!

Dr Ho ordered 2 size 375cc and 330cc in moderate height/moderate plus projection. We orginally went with 375cc and during operation, she tried on 330cc was too small for me so we stayed with 375cc
My husband dropped me off at the surgery center at 7:15am. By 8:00am I was already in the operation room. I was able to go home at 10:30. She went through some details before I left, with what happened in the OR, how long it took ect. but I was still under influence of anesthesia so I kept on asking the same questions for like how many times i dont even remember.
2 days later I met with Dr Ho for check up. The day before that I was in a lot of pain under my left breast, next to my incision for some reason. The incision was not open, there was no bleeding but I was unable move my arm at all. The painkiller didn’t work so called her before we met the next day. She said it was due to the inflammation of the vein. She confirmed it the next day we met, another word for it is Mondor’s diseases, a rare one. Tbh, it was the most horrible pain I ever felt, maybe comparable to labor contraction. Dr recommened warm compress and Motrin over the counter. It actually worked for the next 2 days I felt much better. Can’t wait for the swelling to go down

One week check up

I had a check up today with Dr Ho. The sutures were cut. I still have nerve and muscle soreness on both side. Not much bruising tho. I would regret if I didn’t go for her. Dr Ho is not only caring, understading woman to woman.
She takes time to explain and goes through everything. If I were to have anything else done, I’d definitely go for her.

hi, I was just wondering how long did it take for your boobs to get soft and it was comfortable for say your boyfriend to play and squeeze them ? ;)

It took about 3 weeks for everything (pain, numb, discomfort) to go away. U (n ur bf) can squeeze/play them by then ;)
