WORTH IT

Hello!

I’ve been active on real self for quite some time now and it’s been super helpful during my BA journey. I decided post my review to also help others in their decision making process.

My stats were 32AA, 168cm/5’6, 120lbs, Asian.

My consultation went well, my doctor is very popular probably one of the best doctors for breast augmentation based on reviews. He was very kind and answered my questions but I spent most of my time with the consultant than the doctor himself. This wasn’t a major drawback although I would have preferred more 1 on 1 time with the surgeon, however, I could tell he was extremely busy. But I do want to mention that I didn’t feel rushed from the doctor, it was more so the waiting system. Right after he was done consultation with me he went straight to another. I probably spent 30 minutes with him and wish it had been longer as other questions pop up after discussions. The reason I mention it not being a huge drawback is that as soon as he saw me he noted that I have a pigeon chest (my chest bone protrudes). I already knew this but liked that he brought up the concern first. So this means that I would have some spacing when naked (a finger and a half) but with bras and clothing can create cleavage. This is OK to me as it’s due to my anatomy. But he did tell me he will do his best to get the implants as close.

My surgery was the very next day and the general anesthesia was fine. I was super nervous since I had never had any surgery or Undergone general anesthesia. Once the iv was in I was out in 3 seconds. I had 340 cc in my right boob and 360 cc in my left and they were Demi motiva ergonomix. I wanted full motiva but my doctor had mentioned I would get that upper bulge that I specifically wanted to avoid. I woke up feeling supperrrr tight and uncomfortable with a lot of pain. That’s the only real pain I felt after surgery. I’m writing this and it’s already been one week post op and the discomfort got better day by day. It’s this heavy and tight feeling on your chest.... but it got better each day for me. Honestly from reading the reviews I was very nervous for recovery because many were saying it’s worse on day 3-6 but that wasn’t the case for me luckily! So it really varies.

When I went for my one week follow up the one thing that bothered me is that my consultant notified me the night before that my doctor took a leave and would be off the next day so another doctor would see me. But I mean I think it’s fair to say that if I got surgery done my doctor x, I would want to see him for my one week follow up ... not a different doctor. So this was super annoying and had I been notified early on in the morning I could have arranged my schedule to see him the day after however it was too late. So while the surgeon is extremely skilled in BAs. The communication between employees is clearly unorganized. My recovery has been really smooth and my one week post op went great as I received de swelling treatment to help heal the tissues faster.

I’m really loving my outcome so far... I wanted to look proportionate to the rest of my body and looking full and NATURAL was my biggest concern. I’ll be doing more follow ups and post pictures as time goes by but overall I am really happy with my results because they will onlt get better from here.

I also forgot to mention !

I got armpit incision and dual plane plus method. I wish I could have received all the post operative care because I only got one treatment vs 6 that I am opted for (all included in the fees). The red light therapy and ultra sound treatment is super cool!!!

Congratulations!

My stats are similar like yours, am gonna get my BA next week.

Doc is suggesting 315, 335 or 355 full motiva.

I also don’t like the upper rise which may look “fake” and would go for demi. This Friday will go for final consultation.

Do you work out? If yes, which week your doctor allows you to go back to gym?

Thanks!!

Happy recovery

Yes I used to work out at least 4 times a week! I typically do lower body to build my glutes but I’ve lost all my muscle since surgery…. They said 6 weeks I can start going to gym but I might just start training with bands at week 4 (I’ll ask if this is ok of course lol).

I also wanted full motiva because I didn’t want to get Demi and then regret my choice. However the doctor told me full would look fake on me and give me upper bulge. If you go under muscle you do lose some cc so I went with 340 and 360 in my left boob. Honestly I’m glad I didn’t go smaller because this size is not too big not too small.

Are you still happy you went with dual plane procedure? I’m doing the same in September bc I want a more natural look and 350 cc.

hi girls could everyone share their measurements / base ? I'm 13cm and surgeon saying I have to have 380cc Demi but it's too big for me when I try the sizers

Hello. Sizing is such a tough decision to make! I'm scheduled in a few weeks. My BW is 11.5cm and we are looking at 340cc-380cc Motiva Demi range. It's ok to go a little bigger/little smaller than your BW. I believe 1cm either side is fine. How come your surgeon is only offering that one size? Could you stick to the same size but come down in profile maybe, to the mini range (if your using Motiva).

Unevenness is this normal???

BAjourney23
I feel like my boobs looked very Even and symmetrical right out of surgery. When I took off the band today I notice my left boob looks lower than my right. Also consider that my left boob is 360cc compared to right boob (340cc)
Is this normal??? I over analyze everything but just trying to remind myself that healing is a process. I really hope it is Cus the unevenness is bothering me

They drop and change at different rates. It’s normal. You’re gonna look fantastic! Keep us updated!

Thank you

Completely normal. They drop and fluff at different rates. I'm right handed and my right side took longer to drop and fluff. Possibly due to me using that side more??? Try not to obsess. Let them heal!

I know I try not to stare at my boobs everyday because I know the recovery can be up to one year.
