After a BA is there a limit to chest activity once fully healed? Push-ups pull ups etc.

I have entertained the thought of getting breast implants for many years. However never actually thought it would happen. After speaking with my husband about it being something I wanted for myself he said although he does not think I need it he would support me in my decision but thinks I am beautiful either way.
I am 5'6 , 127 lbs and am 26 years old.
I found a doctor I am comfortable with and am planning on booking my BA very soon.
However, I am nervous as to what size I am going to choose.
I currently wear a 32b from Victorias Secret. But when seeing the Doctor he said he thinks I'm more an A cup. I agree...I feel VS runs small.
My rib cage measures 29inches.
The Doctor suggested Narelle style 15 , 371cc
Looking at my measurements and then the measurements of the implant I understand why the Doctor suggested this. Because I do want to look as natural as possible. But at the same time I am terrified of having the surgery done and not feeling enough of a difference in projection or profile.
Any words of advice?

So I decided to see my PS again just to go over a few more questions. One of the questions regarding the size. He was very thorough and explained it clearly. I could go to high profile and that would be larger than what he originally suggested...however my PS said for me personally the natrelle style 15s would be better because the high profile is better for someone who has lost the elasticity in the skin however I do not have an issue with that so if I did decide to go with HP then it would not look natural at all....which would not be the effect I'm going for. So my decision is made and I'm 100% confident in My PS's recommendation.
I booked my appointment today! I am so excited :)
My BA is booked for July 25th 2013!!!
I walked out of the doctors office after putting a down deposit thinking to myself....."I can't believe I just did that....I'm getting my boobs done in just over two months" I don't know if I'm more excited or shocked/disbelief that its actually going to happen :)

May 15, 2013
Congrats to you LA1977! That is nice that we will have our surgeries close together :) We can bounce encouraging words back and forth hopefully. It is always nice to know your not alone in something haha. Im nervous but more excited at the moment. My pre op is on July 10th. Keep me updated!!
May 15, 2013
DEAL! lilboob!!! lol!!! cute name!! ;P i have fears about going too small as well!!! some days i think i know exactly what i want...others....ehh. we discussed size at my consult and may be going with 397cc silicone unders. i sm a 34b-ish now on left with right hopefully there after the left on that side. she said it will take me to about a small D. decisions, decisions! who knows what will be the winner at my pre-op!!!!
May 16, 2013
Hehe thanks! reminds me of lil foot from land before time :) My pre op had to be moved to July 17th. The receptionist called me today after she realized she scheduled me on a day the PS wouldn't even be in the office! Yes I was worried about going too small but I don't have an option of going bigger haha Natrelle 371cc silicone unders is my largest I can go so I will be happy with knowing that not not being an A cup anymore!!! He says it should hopefully get me to a small c... Either way its better ...but I'm hoping I reach a c cup! Maybe years down the road once my skin is stretched I can go to a D lol. I'm sure whatever you end up choosing at your pre op will look fabulous!
May 25, 2013
So excited for you! Your natural boobies have a great shape already to them, so I just know your BA will look amazing!
May 26, 2013
Thank you thisisme123! I hope so...I feel the longer I wait for it to happen the more nervous I am getting :s
May 26, 2013
hey, girlie girl!!! we are sooooo almost there!!!! umm, do you have any big plans 2 months from today?!?!?!?! ;P
May 26, 2013
LA1977! It is getting close! However it feels like its taking forever to get here cuz I am obsessed and everyday I get more nervous
What if there's issues...am I doing the right thing....should I just live the way I am..but then I snap out of it and this is what I want! But I just don't like waiting!!! Haha my pre op is the Wednesday before my surgery. Was supposed to be two wks before but the PS won't be in and my work schedule is crazy! It will be so nice to be able to talk to different women going thru the same thing at the same time as me. So lucky to have the support and information from those on real self :)
May 26, 2013
girl, don't i know it!!! i go through so many different thoughts/emotions! but, i really am glad to be waiting. i think these thoughts are totally normal and healthy. when we go in we will be 100% confident and our heads will be as clear as they can possibly be. we will have gone through the pre-op stages, so to speak!!!! :) i am so glad this forum is here for us to share and support each other! and how fun to "go through it" together with other girls who just get what we are all thinking/feeling? love it!! we will get there, sooner than we think!!! :) xoxo!!!!!
May 26, 2013

Then my bff will be taking care care of me while hubby is at work....all the little details are worked out...now comes the wait....YAY.....WAITING....

Feeling anxious as time crawls
Ugh! Could time be going by any slower!?
I can't help but check this site everyday looking at all of you ladies different experiences and choices you have made. But I think it makes me even more obsessed! As well as makes me feel like time is dragging because I'm so excited and just want to be on the recovery side already! Haha
I emailed my PS office a few minutes ago just to see if I could possibly get a 3d image of the high profiles on my body. I was told that is the only way I could go a little larger to get the projection that I would like to have...however they will not look as natural. I'm sure the PS is right ...however I feel like I need to see the difference for myself to feel 100% about my final decision.
It's so hard to tell because I have read many stories on real self and there are quite a few women with the high profiles that look absolutely wonderful! However everyone's body is different so they might look dreadful on me. :s
Meh!? Confused yet again.... Decisions decisions...
Such a major decision too... I don't want to be unhappy or feel I've made a mistake.
I've been obsessing so much I feel I'm going nuts! Pretty sure my Hubby thinks I'm psychotic haha!
So I have around 40 days left until surgery and I'm attempting to put my focus else where.... Exercise! I'm worried about not being able to work out for so long after the surgery that I will undo all of the progress I've made :( I have really been attempting to tone up and get rid of the little flab I have around my stomach and luv handles. So far nothing has been working... I need to work on my diet more I'm sure. I wish I were told what to eat at what time and someone could zap me if I reach for carbs /soda /candy etc. etc. etc, blah!
Time to continue my countdown..ugh!
Hope all of you ladies who have had your surgeries are healing well! And to all those still counting down like me....if you know of good ways to pass time let me know! I'm just working and working out...and undoing the workout with eating lol

LA1977... OMG! Time has finally started to fly by and now I'm terrified I'm not prepared!? My pre op is on the 17th ! Just one week away :) I just had a physical and everything done a couple months back so my PS didn't say anything about blood work or vitamins...kind of wish I had some so that I felt I was actively doing something to prepare lol I would like to go shopping for necessities around the house for recovery but wanted to ask my PS what would be good first... So I have to wait another week! Ugh haha
16 days to say goodbye to lilboobs! :)
July 9, 2013

EEK!!!!!

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. It's nice to see you you're getting some great community feedback. One other suggestion is to bring photos of your "wish boobs" to your PS, if you haven't already. I do like the idea of getting another consult. Perhaps another PS would advise the same size...then you'd know your current PS was right. Let us know what you decide to do!
