5’6 120lb 34A to 32DD 485cc Full Profile
BEFORE BA and BOOBSPO
I think my right breast is smaller than my left, I do have to make the bra strap (painfully) tighter on that side to lessen the bra gap. Hoping that I can get more CC on that side to evenly make my breasts larger.
I want to get gummy bear implant to keep the natural shape of breasts without looking like I put half a bowling ball on my chest.
I wish to become a full D cup.
I plan on losing ~10lbs (currently 120-125lbs).
I also have found some pictures of ideal sizes and looks.
ONLY THE BEFORE PHOTOS ARE MINE. PHOTO INSPO ARE NOT MINE. I have edited them to blur out the nipples as well as stated information I got from websites.
20 Y/O BREAST AUGMENTATION - Research, Comparing SOUTH KOREA, and Why
4 weeks until going to see a few plastic surgeons in my area for a consultation.
I've been doing research and looking at a lot of reviews online. My initial thought on getting a breast augmentation was that the ONLY place to do it with great results would be basically anywhere in SOUTH KOREA. However, with research and pictures from local surgeons, I realized South Korea isn't a priority for me anymore... Here's why.
South Korea is notoriously known for plastic surgery vacations. The KPOP idols' unrealistic features encourage many to look like them and make the idea of plastic surgery a "must have" for many. Looking at a couple famous plastic surgery clinics in Korea, they advertise with pride and detail of technique used in the surgery. From mathematical ratios of desquamation to the pectoral muscle, to the promotion of the "tear-drop" shape implant being the only implant to provide natural and beautiful results. This is all backed up by their many post-surgery photoshoots of beautiful women in swimsuits and tight dresses as well as many before and after shots of young, slim, fair skinned women. So, in comparison to the very basic medical before and after photos on American plastic surgeons' websites of women from all shapes, sizes, and ages- South Korea appeals more to the eyes at first glance. Surgeons in Korea know how easy this eye trick works, and spend thousands on advertisements and even go as far as offering/giving famous youtubers a chance to get plastic surgery done for free in exchange for "an honest review" on their high view-count channel. This ultimately leads to very expensive prices on procedures that CAN be maybe $2-3,000 cheaper if done in America.
So now that I've realized this, I read as many reviews and visited many websites of plastic surgeons in my area, looking for before/after photos of people similar to my figure. Compared to Korea, it's really difficult to judge before/after photos because they're taken in a very basic fashion, no high-end photoshoots to display great results.
From the research I've done online, Korean websites without a doubt helped me understand the process of the procedure with great detail of information ranging from what/what not to do before the procedure, choices of where the implant will go and how, what happens during the surgery, and what happens/what you need to do after the surgery. Keeping this in mind, instead of going with the surgeon who charges the most, I looked for honest surgeons who were comfortable enough to put the details of their breast augmentation procedure online as well as before/after photos with details on what type, how much cc was used, and where the implant was placed. Thankfully, I did end up with 3 "finalists" I would end up scheduling a consultation with.
I haven't made any consultation with surgeons yet, I plan on scheduling them when I get to my ideal body weight and tone up as much as possible before having to be out of the gym for possibly 3 months after my procedure.
BEING 20 YEARS OLD AND WANTING GUMMY BEAR IMPLANTS
If you're under 22y/o and done some research online, you'll know that according to the FDA, it is not recommended for women under 22 to get a gummy bear or silicone implant.There is no study suggesting these are "unsafe" until you turn 22. HOWEVER, it IS POSSIBLE to get these if you're not interested in a saline implant, you will just have to talk to your surgeon and tell them you acknowledge the FDA advises against it and you understand the risks and still wish to have a silicone/gummy bear implant. If you do get it, it may void the warranty and will be considered "off label,"
you'll also probably have to sign a waiver.
I have sent an email to 3 clinics asking if they are willing to perform my surgery considering my age. I will post the answers when they all reply to my message.
NOW. WHY?
I've always been self-concious about the size of my breasts ever since I started developing. I was literally THAT GIRL in middle school stuffing her bra as everyone was talking about how they were already filling up their 32B sized bra. Now, I don't stuff my bra anymore but I am still not a full 32B (while my younger sister is already a full C). I also hate wearing bras because they're so uncomfortable and hurt my shoulders. I want to feel more confident and sexy about my body. I have a good butt, slim waist, but the only thing missing are my boobs. I want to fill out my clothes and look good in a bikini, so I'm aiming for a D cup.
MY MEASURMENTS:
5 ft 6in (167cm)
120~125lbs(54-56kg); I'm going by how my body looks to "guestimate" how much I weigh.
goal is to be 115lbs(52kg).
My "bra size" is 32B, however, I feel like technically it's something else, because I feel like I have a narrow chest. 28.5" under my bust, 29.5" around the top of my bust, around my nipples 30".
waist is 25", which I hope to get down to 24" before my procedure.

Went to Consultations Today
My very first consultation was at 10 AM. I didn't know if I was going to be doing fittings or not so I wore a bralette and a tight shirt. When I got to the first clinic, the medical assistant welcomed me in and took me to the back to take pictures of my breasts via Vectra Imagine. I filled out some paperwork and then waited in the office for Doctor Vistnes to begin the consultation. Right off the bat, he was friendly and it didn't feel awkward at all looking at my breasts together. He asked what size I am, I told him I wear a 32B, to which he said I'm very likely not a B, most likely an A or AA (sad). He also told me I am a very good candidate for BA since my breasts are the "scientifically formulated dimensions for the most attractive looking breasts." He talked about the importance of making the incision under the breast fold since; 1) you can't fit a silicone through the armpit, the armpit is easily tanned (bad scarring), and how it will be difficult to form an accurate pocket to insert the implant; and 2) the nipple is an opening, so there are mostly harmless bacteria inside the breast tissue (just like how there are bacteria in your mouth)- but if you get the bacteria on the implant, it will cause capsular contracture. He also stressed the importance of choosing the right diameter for the implant because the wrong diameter may make your breasts lay further apart, too lopsided, etc. The doctor himself has won a couple awards for satisfaction and people's choice, he sees BA as one of his specialties. He told me birth control is safe to use, nicotine isn't really a BIG issue, and my already prescribed muscle relax will actually be a helpful aide in the recovery process. Then he showed me a what a few different implants will look like on my breasts using the imaging technology. All in all his staff was very nice and let me know the Doctor is going to be on vacation until the 16th after this week. I was also contacted using the actual staff's (i hope not) personal numbers, as well as a card for the manager. This Doctor's BA cost is about $8500.
Then, I went to the other Doctor's consultation. I've seen his ads for coolsculpting at 24 gym but I found him from realself. I read reviews about him being really frank and having crude humor so I brought my husband along with me. When we got there, I did paperwork and they took me to the back. The female manager was very nice, professional and business-like. Over the phone I told her I am set on getting saline implants. When the Doctor came in, he told me since I am under 22 years old, and silicone isn't FDA approved for my age, he's not comfortable and not willing to risk the liability of giving me off-label implants. However, he did give me my measurements let me try on multiple breast implants and invited me to come back when I'm 22. So they gave me a non-padded, unlined 34C and shoved the implants inside lol. I tried on 345, 375, and 405cc. I only have the picture of (375 or 345) and 405. She says each size up is not that big of a difference, like a shot glass more but I think 405 is a little bit too huge. The female manager says she low key regrets going up to a DD. So since they told me I'm a "good size" 34A, I'll probably get a full C or just a D!
My hubby is advocating for a “D cup! D cup!” But I think he’s not going to be able to tell the difference once I get these tiny A’s done!
Right after the second consultation I called up the other place and set a date for the pre-op and surgery date! The price is going to be about $8,500 with (an extra? have to clarify) $500 deposit for booking the surgery date!
Now I have to continue to shred and get to my ideal body!
I will update again after my pre-op on April 24!
