Mini Boob Job - 12AA 245 Cc Mentor Anatomicals UTM W/ Fat Grafting.

WORTH IT$10,928
I wanted to share my experience getting a boob job to pay it forward a little as it is so much harder to find examples of mini boob jobs on the internet and those on here that I could find were literally a godsend.
I’m currently 23 years old and I’ve wanted a boob job ever since I was in high school and began to realise that the size my boobs grew to in primary school was the size they were going to stay. I’ve never owned a bra that fits me, but going off the fact that my 10A bras are too tight in the band and gaping massively in the cup I would be a 12AA. Flat as a board as you can see in my pics.
I love the look of small boobs, just not NO boobs.
I just want to be a bit more in proportion, I want to feel feminine, I want to feel sexy when I take my clothes off, I want my clothes to fit me, I want to stop basing all my clothing purchases on whether I can alter the bust, tape it so it doesn’t gape, sew in padding or fit a sticky bra. I just want to feel more normal. I don’t want them to be so big that anyone really notices a difference unless they know me super well (since I never go out without some form of boob padding currently), I don’t want boobs that are gonna make people notice them.
Oh and I also really wanted the Motiva Ergonomix implants as I had seen how soft and natural they looked and felt, and I loved the idea that they moved with gravity.
I definitely thought this would be a very simple request but it turned out to be more difficult than if I had asked for DDs.
I consulted with the first surgeon back in May this year. He has a very prominent social media presence due to the fact that his work does look flawless and I was pretty set on using him.
At the consult however, over the hour that I was there in the room, he was probably in the room with me for maybe 10 minutes total? He was pretty dismissive, didn’t ask me for what I wanted or for pictures, just went straight into trying on sizers. When I had asked he’d immediately ruled out the motiva implants as they move around too much due to their smooth exterior and become easily displaced, especially in someone as active as me (I weightlift 5 times a week on top of rock climbing and at the time I was working a physical labour job). He would only use the mentor anatomicals on me he said.
Anyway I tried on the 225cc, 255cc and 275cc in moderate plus profile. I liked the 225cc best although they still were bigger than I wanted, but they said due to my BWD (12.5cm) the minimum I could do was 255cc, but I should do the 275 anyway, and that I would get used to it once I got them. Overall I just didn’t feel very listened to and didn’t feel great about entrusting my body to him on the operating table.
After this I did some research of my own. First I looked at every boob job I could find with the 255cc mod plus implants but 99% of them all looked way bigger than what I wanted.
Then I started researching different profiles. It feels silly now that I didn’t have a good grasp on all of this before the consult, but I didn’t expect to have to figure it all out on my own and I just expected the surgeon (who does a lot of ‘mini’ boob jobs) to be on the same page as me.
Anyway, long story short I worked out that 255cc was not my only option, as the profile was not the lowest I could go, and therefore not the smallest. If I went with a lower profile, the implant would be flatter and wider so I could go with a smaller amount of CCs. My main issue with the 255cc after photos was more how large they looked from the side anyway, and not how they looked from the front.

Consulting with different surgeons
MiniboobjobnewcastleSeptember 5, 2023
So after a lot of thinking I booked two more consults with two different surgeons, the first one Dr Moncreiff in Newcastle and the day after another surgeon in Sydney.
I forgot to mention that I’m from Adelaide, SA, and we do not have much in the way of high quality breast surgeons here, so every consult I did required me to fly interstate.
The consult with Dr Moncreiff and the girls there felt so much better. It definitely felt like they were more there to get me the look I wanted, no one said “if you go any smaller you may as well not even do the surgery” which I heard from the other places. I felt way more confident that we were on the same page. He also doesn’t like using the Ergonomix implants, but we settled on the Mentor anatomicals again in 245cc this time, moderate profile. I know I know, it’s not that different to the 255cc that I hated so much, but apparently mentor has discontinued it’s low profile implants due to not enough demand, so this is literally the smallest implant I can do without switching brands. I felt a lot better about this though, as it was still a lower profile than before, and that was my biggest issue I think. Plus he seemed convinced it would give me the look I want, and I trusted him more.
It included a 3D vectra scan which wasn’t super helpful but I’m still glad I did it. It measured me to be half an A cup lol.
Another thing I forgot to mention before is that I was wanting to get fat grafting in addition to the implants to try and soften the edges and fix the lower cleavage line, which as you can see from the before pics deviates outwards a lot.
The first PS said definitely do it, as did Dr Moncreiff. As I have pretty much just skin and bone on my chest, he said he’ll place the fat around the outside of my boobs in kind of two back to back C shapes, fanning along the top of the breast. He said ideally I’d gain a couple kgs so he could harvest as much fat as possible from my inner thighs to give it the best chance of staying there, as not all the fat grafted on will stay there once healed.
The surgeon I saw the next day also said the minimum I could do was the 245cc so that helped make my mind up about that. He ALSO said he doesn’t love using the Motiva implants, this time giving me a better explanation on why.
I might butcher this a little as this was almost a month ago now, but he basically said that he would do them if I want, but I would have to be okay with them probably being wider set with a bigger gap in the middle. He said he was part of the initial trial for them and a large number (I can’t quite remember but it was something big like a third) of the women needed a revision, as the time for those implants to settle into place due to their super slippery surface was much longer than the nano textured implants and it was very likely for them to migrate. Even then, he said, there was a high likelihood of them moving around once healed anyway. On top of this, he said that the stats for the Motiva implants (lower rates of like, every type of complications than other implants) are slightly misleading as Motiva is a relatively new brand and the studies done by other implant brands like Mentor have been done over longer timescales than Motiva has even been around, so of course their stats are going to look amazing. This is not to try and discourage anyone from getting them, I got to have a squeeze and goddamn they are so soft, I really wish they could have worked out.
I tried on some sizers here, which I’ll add pics of. One side I have the 255cc and one the 225. He said the 245 will look somewhere between those two. They are hard to see in the pics though as the top is black.
After all that, both surgeons were gonna be the same price pretty much and both had agreed on the exact same implant, so I basically just went off who I felt better with, and that was Dr Moncreiff. The only surgery date free until late September was the 28th of August, 20 days away. I booked this is as I really wanted to do the surgery as far away from summer as possible so I could get away with covering up for a while.

Pre surgery prep
MiniboobjobnewcastleSeptember 5, 2023
So surgery’s booked on Monday the 28th, but I had to fly over Friday the 25th so they could take pre op photos, which was a bit of an annoying waste of time and money but oh well, it gave me time to set up the apartment I’d be staying in until Monday the 4th, when I would have my post op check up and fly home.
My partner would be arriving on the Sunday and he would stay with me for the week.
Things I got for surgery:
A wedge pillow off Amazon (you can get nice ones but I just got a cheap one, was like $50). I had this shipped to a friend in Newcastle a week or so before.
Supplements:
Panadol/nurofen
Hydralyte (tons)
Movicol (big box) /non stim laxative - because painkillers
Liver detox (Swisse) - liver health, bloating/indigestion
High strength C (Swisse) - immune health obv
Grape seed gold (Herbs of Gold) - antioxidant, blood vessel, cardiovascular and capillary health, connective tissue and skin health
Live probiotic capsules - so the antibiotics don’t fuck up my gut
Food: (I bought other food too obviously but these are what I specifically bought for the purpose of healing)
2 whole pineapples (bromelain anti inflammatory, helps with swelling, bruising, healing etc)
Lots of citrus fruits (whole bag of oranges) and berries for the vitamin C and antioxidants
Lots of tofu and tempeh (protein is important after surgery and tempeh is great for gut bacteria)
Turmeric (anti inflammatory)
Specifically for gut health repair during and after antibiotics:
Lots of greens - spinach/silverbeet + micro greens
Artichoke
Bananas
HUGE jar of kimchi + sauerkraut (has to be the refrigerated one or the live cultures are dead)
Miso
Broccoli
Raspberries
About a week leading up I tried to up my water intake (I’m so bad with drinking enough water) and about 3 days before I went REALLY hard on drinking heaps of water and avoiding super salty stuff. I aimed for 3L a day. I mixed these with Hydralyte so they tasted better (I hate tap water) to make me keep drinking. Also 3 days before I took 3 Movicol sachets a day with water too, to try to minimise the upcoming constipation via oxy. I also started taking 1 probiotic capsule per day a couple days before and focussed on eating good gut food (and lots of it as I had to gain a bit of weight for the fat grafting).
