13 Days Post Opt. New pics

Hello dream~ Thanks for sharing your story. I hope your preop appointment goes well. I totally understand how nervous this entire experience can be!! I had my BA 6 months ago and feel it was one of the best things I ever did for myself! What size do you want? It's very important to find a board certified PS who you feel comfortable with and will answer all of your questions professionally. I went to several consultations before finally making the decision on a doctor.....Sooooo happy I had the courage to go through with it!!!! My life has changed for the better. Good luck and keep us posted on your journey:-)

Hey, doit, when you go to your next appointment, you might want to bring some different tops to try on with the various sizers. I made the mistake of wearing things that weren't very fitted, and so it was hard to see the proportions. It's also a good idea to take some pictures so you can reflect on your options in the days to come. Best of luck and I'll be keeping up with your journey!

One word of advice.....go 1 size bigger then what you decide on. My cousins (who both had BA's and my surgeon tried to tell me this but I didn't listen) Because more then likely you will have wished you went a little bigger in the end. Most everyone does. I have been having issues with my surgeon now....my right one was a little smaller then my lefty before BA....but I guess i never thought much about it...now that i have implants it is much more noticeable. I saw him just yesterday and questioned him why it was not brought up before my surgery....he said he can't tell the difference??? Really and he's a surgeon? He's trying to tell me it looks that way because I have mild Capsular Contraction. I say BS! He says putting a bit larger implant in won't make a difference. I have had others tell me it's not that noticeable but it bothers me a lot. I'd like to seek another plastic surgeon, but I really can't afford it. Sorry for my venting. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Thanks Barber, I have heard that a few times from people I know that have had this done. I was going to go for a C but have had thoughts about maybe a little bigger. I too am slightly bigger on one side than the other. My PS said i am but not big enough to really notice. She also said trying to compensate for the size difference with CC's might make it more noticeable since the CC's are in increments? I am sorry that has happened to you.

Hi Doit!
I just saw Breasto's response saying your bod doesnt look old enough to be pre-menopausal, and I'll have to agree!
I see in your update you mention your doc wants to do "overs." As a real-self sister I just wanted to mention that overs have a tendency to be affected by gravity more than under the muscle. I thought I should let you know in case you didnt already know before finally deciding. It would suck to get implants, and then they end up sagging. Oh, and rippling can be more obvious in overs.

Again, just wanted to make sure you've considered these issues before getting them done! Good luck to you~

Oh, man. I saw your question to the doctors about over or under. It seemed like most everybody said under was the way to go, huh? What a dilemma! Make sure you share your concerns and the feedback you got with your surgeon. She can either revise the plan or offer an explanation and assurances about why over is right for you. Also, it's definitely possible to get good results with overs. A woman I know has had hers for years and absolutely LOVES them.

Yeah, this is my biggest hurdle. I trust what the PS comes up with but at the time of the consultation I only wanted them fuller not too much larger, but all that has changed :)
