I've looked into breast implants for over 10 years...
$9,965
I've looked into breast implants for over 10 years and have tried so hard to love my body the way it is. However, it's so discouraging when trying on clothing and nothing fits right. No sexy lingerie, bikini tops that would only fit a 12 yr old girl and majorly padded bras to get even a teeny bit of volume in a shirt or dress. So I decided to at least book a consult and see what it's all about. One of my concerns is that I'm very flat chested and very bony that implants would look absolutely ridiculous...like 2 balloons sticking out of my chest. Of course when I was at my consult I couldn't think of any questions until after the fact but trust my surgeon would say something if he thought I was not a good candidate. He asked what size I wanted to go and I just said natural. I left it up to him to figure out what that would be. He recommended 450cc gummy bear implants. Not sure what cup size that will be but again I trust his recommendation because anything would be a huge improvement from what I have. I did try on a bra with the implants placed inside and then a shirt over top. I thought it suited my body pretty good and although it felt silly stuffing my bra and playing with my fake boobs I won't lie, it made me super excited! I booked and paid for my surgery and really really excited to the new me. I'm also really really nervous. I'll keep my journey posted :)

Resize Appointment Today
Today I went in for a resizing as I started to question the size I decided to go with. In my earlier post I said it was 450 cc but it's actually 415 cc. I really would like to be a full C / small D. I went into the office today for a resizing and took pics. After trying the larger size I decided to stick with the smaller ones as they still seem quite large. I find it hard to tell if they look natural or suit my body type because it's such a big change to how I currently look. Still really excited though!! :)

Your petite so I'm sure that size will suit you perfectly. When did you schedule surgery for? They had no issues with you going back in? I was thinking to do that as well

I'm scheduled for Sept 8th. No issues at all with me going back in. They were really great about it and wanted to make sure I was 100% happy.

I had my surgery with Dr Whidden at the beginning of July. I found that calling and talking to Trista about any of my concerns and questions really eased my mind and kept me well informed. Don't hesitate to call them as they are so helpful and positive.

The Countdown Is On
Surgery is just 1 week away. Starting to get really excited!! And also very nervous. I have booked Thursday and Friday off of work. No one knows about my surgery. A woman I share an office with is very opinionated and has previously expressed her thoughts on breast implants without knowing I had already booked my surgery. She has a very narrow outlook on it. When I told her it's something I'd do, she said if a guy doesn't like you for who you are then you need to ditch him! And while that is true...I expressed that if I were to do the surgery it is for ME and no one else. She doesn't know the difficulties of buying clothing and the insecurities that go along with it. Needless to say I have NO idea how to deal with my surgery going back to work. SURPRISE!!! Haha Anyone else have this concern or any suggestions??

I wouldn't worry to much about what other people think. What I have found in my own experience is that most people have not even noticed. The people I have told have been surprisingly supportive, even the ones I thought would be "judgy" about it. Allot more woman than I thought have even considered it themselves. I went from a small B to a 32DDD and although they are quite large looking at them nude in the mirror, they are allot less noticeable under clothes. Also, Dr Whidden has a reputation of not letting his patients go too large or unnatural looking. I doubt he would let you pick an implant that would look bad on you (and he is amazing!!!) It is going to be a huge change for you as you live with your breasts everyday but others probably are not going out of their way to look at your chest - as much as our insecurities tell us they are.
Your choice in clothes may change after the surgery as well. Allot of us small breasted women tend to wear a bit more revealing clothes maybe in an attempt to prove to the world (or ourselves) that we are not the 12 year old boys that we feel like with our tiny boobies. I found that once I had them, I felt very comfortable wearing more conservative clothing as you could still see my womanly figure and I sure felt like a woman too. Does that make sense??
Now, disclaimer.... I still absolutely get excited to wear the sexy revealing bras, dressing up and bikinis as I feel 100% more sexy than prior to my surgery.
On a last note, you are a Canadian woman and although we tend to be overly apologetic, we can also be very strong. If that lady that is in your office has an objection to YOUR choice then don't let her bring you down. People go on diets, dye their hair, wear certain clothes and make many choices to make themselves feel good. There is nothing wrong with you choosing to do the same for yourself...and if she is going to try to take that away from you, simply...[RS bleep] her!! Oops did I type that!?!?
Good luck with your surgery and be strong!! Remember all the reasons you chose to do this because in the end, thats all that matters.
