From Barely A Cup to B (Small Augmentation)

6 months post OP!

Little update! It's officially been more than 6 months since my surgery and still not a day (honestly not even an hour) goes by where I don't give myself a little boob grab and be glad for my decision. I feel SO much more comfortable in a bathing suit, in a sports bra, in a t-shirt or sweater even, just 100% better as if my chest FINALLY fits my body properly.
They're incredibly soft (and have been for months now) but I made sure to massage a lot as soon as my doctor said I was able to. I think that helped a lot.
I have felt absolutely no pain for easily 3 or 4 months now, have resumed all exercise and am even lifting heavier weights than ever for chest exercises. I do find that I need a sports bra with proper support to run comfortably though, which is definitely new. I resumed chest training about 2 months after my surgery, and was able to run a half marathon only a month after.
I am officially a 34B so my surgery was 100% successful in that I did not want to go too big, just wanted something that suited my body better. I truly find they're the perfect size now, and they're very perky even though I went with low profile. I find they look very natural.
Photos haven't changed a whole lot since my last post, but most notable difference is for sure the softness.
Thanks so much to everyone for the kind words, and i hope this has been helpful for the poor flat chested girls out there like me that just want a little augmentation :)

I am very happy with everything about my experience with Dr. Benchetrit. I input my name for more information online just out of curiousity and the next day got a call from his surgical coordinator Kharroll, who was absolutely lovely, walked me through everything and scheduled my consultation. Dr. Benchetrit was very professional and helped me pick the absolute perfect size for what I wanted. I'm very, very satisfied with my results! I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone in the Montreal/Ottawa area, as they're located in the far west end of Montreal (Pointe Claire)

Such lovely results! Love to see close ups to see exactly how they settled? Have you been professionally sized? Thanks for sharing your journey with us on RS. :)

Did you have round or shaped implants?

Thanks for sharing your journey! I had a hard time finding small BA results too so your pics are helpful! Our stats are similar, would you mind sharing your BWD ?

Ok it's been a while since I've updated because life went back to normal after my last update! It was night and day between my last post and the following day. Finally my pain and swelling started to subside and I was able to wear normal sports bras instead of the surgical bra (so my nipples are hidden) and I was able to resume normal life like work and going out in public! Time has been flying by! It's now been almost a month. Life completely stopped when I was on the couch for 2 weeks.
I've been massaging pretty diligently and I definitely notice that my left breast is falling before my right. The right is still a bit swollen at the top (saw my dr yesterday and he agreed) but overall they're so much softer and barely any pain. I am still uncomfortable if I lift my hands over my head with my arms too straight, but otherwise i have resumed exercise (with lighter weights) and I have begun running again.
As for my results, I NEVER imagined I would be this happy. Every outfit looks better, I am so much more comfortable in a bathing suit, and SO much more happy to take my bra off in front of my boyfriend. He loves them! The size is exactly what I wanted without really ever knowing what I wanted. Another good thing is that most of my clothes still fit fine. I did give away some of my really small sports bras and all of my 34A bras (havent been sized yet, but I've tried on a friend's bra that was 36C and it fit very well) I've been wearing sports bras every day and wearing my surgical bra to sleep.
All in all, SUPER happy. Best decision I ever made! Totally worth the money, totally worth the pain. If you are considering breast augmentation, do it!!

I realize I wrote 36C, I meant 36B******

I really love your results. You look great! Thank you for sharing. I am considering a 250 to 280cc Natrelle low plus profile because I also don't want two large balls on my chest. Glad to see others who recently made this move!
May 21, 2019
You look great and I totally relate to your posts. I am so flat and basically want to just have what it appears I have with all my padded bras. I am having my procedure in 2 exactly weeks and have chosen 260ccs mod plus. Thank you for sharing your results! Makes me feel a little more comfortable with my choice in sizing.

Looking amazing!!! I can relateto your podt because ialso went for the smaller end of implants. I am a month post-op and feel great with my decision, although a lot of people close to me have def voice their opinions. Most of them asking why i didnt go bigger, a higher profile ... if i can give an advise stay honest to the look you want, if this means a smaller implant look then go for it. Hope you continue to heal and again youlook great!

Congrats! They look so natural and beautiful. I was going for this look and ended up a bit bigger (250/300), but I was told that bc my BW is wide (13) and bc I breastfed 2 children (aka had saggy/extra breast tissue) that I had to go bigger to fill out. But I'm contemplating doing a revision to make them a touch smaller. Wondering if you recall what your BW is?

A week post op

carly662
Surgery was a week yesterday. I'm still in quite a bit of discomfort. I'm glad I didn't go bigger.. the pressure on my chest is so intense just from the 235! I'm starting to wonder if the bra they gave me was a bit small. I ordered a bigger one online which should arrive tomorrow. I don't know if it's supposed to be this uncomfortable/painful.
I've been massaging a lot since my follow up 4 days ago when they gave me the go-ahead to start, which oddly enough doesn't hurt that much (it's the pressure of the compression bra that hurts) and I think I can feel the left one loosening up a bit!
Sleeping has been pretty brutal. It doesn't seem to matter if I sleep completely upright or at a bit of an angle, I still puff up so much overnight that I wake up in pain. I haven't really felt much improvement over the past 3-4 days.. I hope the pain lessens soon.
My nipples have also started to hurt quite a bit. They're really sensitive and they stick out so far that even when I don't have the bra on I can feel them against my shirt.
However! Pain or no pain, I have absolutely NO regrets. I'm so happy the second I remove the bra and am reminded that I actually have boobs. I can't believe it. It's a dream come true. The pain for a couple weeks is a small price to pay!

This is the same situation I have and want.... not too big. I have been nervous post my consultation. Dr wants me to go 310CC and I keep thinking that is so big but they have told me 3x now that my rib cage is larger and I will still look natural and just the amount im wanting. Said the CC's wont change much projection at all its just the coverage it is filling. Hard to tell with the samples. Just feels so big and I dont want to be too big. 5'8", 130 lbs Barely an A haha
April 20, 2019
Hmmm I would maybe suggest just make sure you pick a low or moderate profile (mine are low profile - the implant looked like a little pancake instead of like a ball haha) .. my doctor said the same thing, that the cc doesn't change the projection all that much just the fullness. To me, 310cc does sound quite big though maybe you should get a second opinion
