Hello everyone! Getting my BA done in 1 month and...

Hello everyone!
Getting my BA done in 1 month and 1 day! Feeling super excited now but....
After scheduling my surgery date, I began feeling nervous and apprehensive about the whole thing. I've wanted to have this procedure done for at least 10+ years, but finally going through with it was just so unreal and I was second guessing whether I was making the right decision or not.
I am currently a size 34A (barely), hoping to fill out a B. 5'6", 140#. I have narrow shoulders and wide hips, am pretty athletic/ in shape. Just have never fully developed breasts, and want to feel more comfortable with my body without having to wear padded bras all the time!
The doctor I chose suggested 325cc HP. I tried on the 325 and 300 sizers. Right now I am leaning more towards the 300 since I don't want to go too big, want something more "natural"/modest, and don't want them to interfere with working out. Will decide on a final size at pre-op appt. in 2 weeks!!
Oh, and Just want to say overall I am feeling alot more confident in my decision to get this done than I was 1 month ago. I think it just needed time to set in that I was actually finally going through with this. Iv'e put a great amount of thought, prayer, and research into making this decision. I am sharing my experience to hopefully reach out and connect with other woman who are planning to have this procedure done, or already have. Always open to advice so feel free to say hi, and share any suggestions!

I'm having my surgery on the same day. We are buddies! I am similar in stats to you and look forward to hearing how you do. Did you decide on silicone or saline?
July 30, 2016
That's cool! I've been set on silicone from the start d/t having very little breast tissue to begin with. I think it will provide a more natural look and feel. How bout yourself?
August 1, 2016
I like the pros of saline but think I might be in the same boat as you with the limited breast tissue. Silicone will probably be the way I go. Please let me know what size you decide to go with. My pre-op is on the 10th!

I just went to my pre-op today! I decided on 275cc moderate profile, which is smaller than I originally wanted, but I just really don't want to go to big, and would much rather wish I went bigger, than smaller, you know? Hoping I end up loving the size though (and not getting "boob greed" haha

I was thinking of going in the 350-375cc range in moderate profile. Anything is bigger than the nubs I have now though! We'll see when I go to my pre-op on the 10th. I'm excited. :-)

Yeah I'm sure you and the doc will figure out the perfect size! Let me know what you decide on and good luck with your pre-op :)

Only 4 more days! How are you doing? I'm excited and nervous and hoping I don't catch my daughter's cold. Not sure if that would prevent the surgery. We decided to go with 375 cc in moderate plus profile. Doctor decided to go with textured implants given the curvature of my chest and higher risk for lateral displacement. I definitely don't want these puppies migrating into my arm pits!

I had to bump my surgery back a day due to a family emergency, so ill be going in on the 24th now. I'm nervous and excited too!! I am mostly worried about the recovery process. Wish I could just fast forward to them being healed already! And hopefully you stay healthy and are able to avoid that cold! 375 textured sounds like a good size, and textured is a good choice for avoiding migration too. Best of luck to you, hope to hear how everything goes :)

I just had my surgery on July 21st. I'm 5'4 125 lbs and currently a B cup. I decided to do 350 and 375cc silicone moderate plus profile. I just got measured a 32 DDD but I think when swelling goes down a DD. Hope all goes well with you and the surgery. I'm sure you will love the new additions :)

Happy to hear everything went well for and you're happy with the results! I can't wait for mine, I'm nervous and excited :)

Going to get my surgery done by Dr. Giacobbe in the Buffalo, NY area. Had my consult with him about a month ago and haven't got to writing a review until now, but he's great and I'll write the review at the bottom! My pre-op appt. is next week when we'll decide on a final size. More updates to come :)

Pre-op! 275 Silicone Moderate
kgk5August 2, 2016
Pre-op done! Decided to go with a smaller size than originally
planned. I'm 5'6" but its allll legs, I'm very short- waisted and feel
that going too large will make me look heavy. Plus, in the end if I have
any regrets about the size, I would much rather wish I had gone bigger
(i.e. boob greed) than wish I had gone smaller. With my active
lifestyle, I would hate to have my boobs get in the way as well. I will
be getting moderate profile since it is smaller and it will need to fill
my chest. (I guess I'm 11", so rather small) but I feel more
comfortable that I'm getting moderate profile, rather than high profile
which was recommended prior with the 300/325
planned. I'm 5'6" but its allll legs, I'm very short- waisted and feel
