"Mini" Boob Job - 190cc moderate classic profile

ORIGINAL POST

"Mini" boob job - 190CC transaxillary incision, sub muscular, moderate classic profile

Before my surgery, I found the reviews on RealSelf extremely helpful. However, I noticed there were not many examples of small volume augmentations. This inspired me to share my experience to help others who might be seeking a "mini" boob job.

Here are the details:

Implant size: 190cc
Incision: transaxillary (through the armpit)
Placement: submuscular
Profile: moderate classic
My stats: 5'2, 100 lbs. I'm 24 years old, have never had kids, and was an A cup before surgery.

Being very petite, I wanted to maintain my small frame with modest, natural-looking implants. I was terrified of ending up with breasts that looked too big for my body. My main goal was to fill out clothing better and to still be able to go braless comfortably. I also wanted to avoid visible scars, which is why I opted for the transaxillary incision.

I decided to go with Dr. Schuster because he specializes in the transaxillary incision, and I felt he truly understood my vision. He was the only doctor I consulted with who did not push me to go bigger and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. He took time to answer all of my questions and look at inspo pics. I was stuck between 175cc and 190cc, and I trusted him enough to make the final decision in the operating room. Everyone at his practice, especially Christy and his nurse Tami, was incredibly kind and helpful, answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns.

5 week update

The surgery went smoothly. I had no pain, just a little soreness similar to doing 100 push-ups. I didn't need to take Valium or narcotics, only extra strength Tylenol for three days. The worst part of recovery was experiencing bloating for about a week, but stool softener worked great for that. It is also tough not being able to work out my upper body for three months.

I'm almost 5 weeks post-op and so far, I'm very happy with the results. They seem to be the exact size I wanted. My breasts were naturally a bit far apart, but Dr. Shuster did a great job at bringing them closer together, something other doctors told me wasn't possible. My left implant is slower to drop, and the left incision is also healing slower. I'm still waiting for them to "drop and fluff" but overall, I'm thrilled with how they look.

Photos are from 3 weeks post-op.

Why did you choose a transaxillary incision? Just curious :-) results are phenomenal!!
July 27, 2024
Goalss! Please keep the updates coming :) in these pictures are they still swollen?
My surgery is on Monday and I’m still undecided about the size. Do you happen to have your measurements from before? Like bust and underbust? Because my height and weight (151 cm and 106 lbs) are very similar.
